• What Party Did It?
Somo time ago the prosperity cranks
said the Populist party had caused the
closing of a tobacco warehouse at Hen-
raise prices and expel gold as its equiva-
lent in money.
I11 good times, when credit is at its
best, the total volume of money and
credit, as above shown, may riso to
$5,500,000,000. At such times debts aro
freely created, but confidence breaks,
credit collapses, and the whole volume is
reduced, as now, to not one-half what it
was six months age
pense while thousands of our own people
were in actual want of food, clothing
and shelter.
What right did congress have to
squander the taxes of tho people upon
this foreign tramp, gambler, libertine
and deadbeat? None in the world. Con-
gress exceeded its authority in voting
the appropriation of any money at all
for this purpose. But Mr. Gresham, the
Republican member of Cleveland's cabi-
net, went further than congress. lie
not only allowed tho Spuuish grandee to
spend every cent congress appropriated,
but many thousands more.
In other words, Mr. Gresham, with
man silver purchase act in the house, is |
the American attorney of the Roths-
childs. Ho has tho reputation of enjoy-
ing the confidence of the celebrated
banking firm of England and Europe
generally. It is well for the American
people to know this, as Mr. Rayner's
training has been of such a character
that ho will probably not repeat the
blunder of Congressman Hooper of Mas-
sachusetts, who, when engineering the
demonetization scheme through the
house of representatives iu 187:5. told his
fellow congressman that he and the coin-
age committee had availed themselves of
the valuable advice of Ernest Seyd, a dis-
tinguished English bullionist, who was
probably sent to this country by the
Rothschilds and other bondholders to
strike down silver.
It is doubtful whether the plan of us-
ing an attorney of the greut banking con-
cern on the floor of tho house will be a
gooil ono for the monometallists. He
may bo a smarter and better equipped
man than Tracey or Bonrke Cockrau, who
know precious little about money mat-
ters. but his connection with the Roths-
childs will impair his usefulness and
damage the reputation of Cleveland, who
appears to have put him in the fore-
ground.—San Francisco Chronicle.
LaPence, Popull.t.
Hon. Lafe Pence, a Populist member
of tho house from Colorado, seems des-
tined to become a man of national rep-
utation. His speech, delivered at the

had obtained tho vantage ground which

It is estimated that, with ull the lifo
insurance of tho nation carried in this
manner, a revenue of 1100,000,000 a year
would bo derived, and a further saving
of over |100,000,000 a year would bo ef-
fected to tho insured. Mr. Snider
thinks that a policy for $3,000 could bo
carried at a cost of not to exceed $10 a
year, and that there never would be
, danger of lapse. Ho wonild save all tho
salaries now being paid to officers of iu-
i surance c ompanies, the accumulation of
j vast gums of money, and give absolute
; security. Ilia plan makes the minimum
| insurance $3,000 and the maximum $!2(X-
I 000, hoping thus to encourage every man
in the nation to take out a policy.
"There are those who seriously con-
sider this scheme and who will endeav-
or to create public sentiment in its fa-
vor. They would add this to the postal
system, the government ownership of
railroads, tho money plans and the gov-
ernment owuershipof all lands not in ac-
tual use."

As Hon. Tom Watson's campaign of
education progresses the more wonder-

of Georgia are in a perfect frenzy, not
knowing how to meet it. 1 hey dare not

They cannot meet his arguments, and
consequently they are compelled to stand
