DANGER IS AHEAD.
WE MUST NOT ABANDON OUR
PLAT FORM.
The Neit People's Ptarty Convention Must
Ha Controlled By PopalUtS -A Popo
IUt Is Known by Ills Indorsement of
Popallst Principles.
Tn all the discussion that haa beeu
Kolng on with regard to the relation
that should exist between the People s
party and the new silver party, there Is
one Important phase of the matter
which, so far as we know, has not
been touched. It Is the question as to
who will control the national conven-
tion of the People's party In 1896? If
Mr. Taubeneck'e "policy" Is Indorsed
we understand that the fl*ht Is to be
made on the currency question alone.
If he has not aald so In so many words,
there can be no other Inference from
what he does say. Now suppose we do
this. Suppose that all the Populist
papers would take up the fl*ht on this
line. The object would be to unite all
who oppose tho money power. On this
basis every man who favored free coin-
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and
opposed banks of issue and Interest
bearing bonds, would be eligible to elec
tlon aa a delegate to the national con
ventlon. This would let down the
bam for nearly every democrat In the
weet and south, and many republicans
In the same sections. No better plsn
could be conceived for the purpoee of
turning the People's psrty over to the
politicians of the two old parties, and
permitting them to control the conven-
tion, make the platform to suit thesn.,
or break the convention up In s row
If It is urged that this will not be the
esse, ws ask how are you going to
help It? The politicians will take every
advantage they see open. With suoh
an arrangement Rland snd Brysn and
the whole tribe of demagogues could
come In. How could they be kept out*
It Is understood that we are going to
make the fight along thoee lines and
that Is what they are fighting for. At
the very outset we etsrt with the avow-
ed object of trimming the plstform
What for? To satisfy men who are
not now In the party Oen. Weaker
admits that the "next national conven-
tion will be factional " That is It will
tlon of pledges To meet the expects
tlons of the people we must be able
not only to unite before election, but to
rttay united afterward. The Fifty-
third congress Is a valuable object les
son In support of the truth of this
statement. The party was united at the
polls, but divided In congress. It had
the responsibility, btit with a large
majority in congress It failed to carry
out Its pledges The success of the
democratic party In 1R92, was its
Waterloo. To command the respeet of
the voters In this country a party must
be consistent. It Is not so when It
changes Its platform to suit the poli-
ticians' whims. The People's party
platform may need some change In
phraseology snd possibly the dropping
of one or two festuree, snd the addl
tlon of that many others, but the
questions of finance, transportation anil
land must not be disturbed. If we
were suggesting changes we would
make no reference to the subtreasury
and Incorporate the referendum and
government banks Into the platform
All these things will come, anil they
are going to come soon. We must
learn to be patient. The worst enc-
The Rotten Metro|Milltsn Press.
Events are constantly occurring to
prove that capltsjlsm Is constantly
making the public prints a vehicle for
the conveyance of plutocratic Ideas to
the public, and that the metropolitan
papers are run by hirelings who aro
paid to write what they do not believe,
whose duty It Is to conceal the truth
and wrlta what they know Is not true.
A year or so ago when the Lombard
Investment company failed, which was
a British company and plastered mort-
gages over Missouri, Kansas and other
slates, among the assets accounted for
by the receiver were shares In the Kan-
sas City Times to the amount of $57
000. This accounted for the tone and
policy of that paper one of the most
rsbld gold-bug sheets In the west.
What did the Lombard Investment
company want with stock In that pa-
per? The sheet never has paid its own-
ers a legitimate dividend, or dividend
on legitimate newspaper business
That stock—with a great deal more
from other sources, perhaps, for the
same purpose, was to control the pol
Icy of the paper In the Interest of cspi-
