Wednesday, January '!ud Senate. Eleven pension bill were intro duced. The resolution offered by Senator Pugh which directs the payment of government obligations in silver came up. Mr. Hill, the Democratic peanut pol itician , said it would lead to a long de bate and requested that this be post poned for a while so that Mr.Wolcott could speak on the Monroe Doctrine. Mr. Wolcott said that he would be pleased to have an opportunity to make his remarks to-day. and Mr. Pugh yielded to him but said ; "I feel compelled to yield to the request of the Senator from Colora do, but I am very anxious to have action upon this resolution, and I shall press action upon it whenever Mexico, the money power is to the United States. The multi-miiuon-aires. the bond-holders, the trust and monopolies already own over one third of the property of 'our country and are reaching out for the rest. Many leaders they nominate and elect to office, others they intimidate or corrupt. But our people, while patient, are not ignorant, and if the course of the monopolies and com' binations continues unchecked, they will wake up some morning to find, as the Catholic church did here, that the SOVEREIGN PEOPLE OWN THE COUNBTY and all that in it is. The Catholics here venerated the church ruuy as much as we ever did the rights of individual ownership of any species of property, but the welfare of the people is the highest law, and when that becomes imperiled, as it was in Mexico by the money power in the shape of the chnreh, and as it is in the United States by the same dead ly enemy in the guise of multi-mil uonaires and monopolies, the man hood and the brains and the honesty of the people will assert themselves and WE SHALL NOT GO DOWM under the same enemy that destroy ed Borne, and so many other na tions in the past.

This we cannot con sistently do. In our opinion, if such a line of fight were attempted, our party not only would not grow, but our present party ranks would be demoralized to some extent, while on the other hand it would have the effect of solidifying the Democratic party as nothing else could. i our Mate -committee held a meeting recently to discuss the ques tion. It was the unanimous opinion of the committee that the only way to obviate the difficulties mentioned above, in the way of co-operation, would be to have a non-partisan electoral ticket, like our Snpreme court ticket in our last campaign, and that each man on the electoral ticket should be pledged not to vote for a gold man for President. This would not only be consistent, bnt would put us in the position of co-operating for a great and funda mental principle, and avoid being success! ally charged with co-operat insr for spoils. Certainly our friends who claim to be against the gold standard cannot object to such a line of battle against the common enemy, or otherwise they would be helping the goldbngs, instead of fighting them. Our committee wants 13C3. These banks soon become a power, in politics, and by their aid the Republicans elected their candidate for Presi dent four successive times. This seemed to have disheartened the Democrats and being hungry for potter they resolved to make friends with their old enemy, the banks. Jeffer son was dead, Jackson was dead, but the banks were alive, and "is not a dead dog better than a dead honi" The Democratic leaders of 1878 SEEMED TO THINK SO, for in that year we find a Democratic House uniting with a Republican Senate to recharter the national banks; and at the next election we find the party of Jefferson and Jack son nominating W. H. hnghsb, a banker, for vice-President, in order, as a Democratic Congressman de clared, "toshow the banks that they had NOTHING FURTHER TO FEAR from the Democratic party" Since that time the Democratic and Republican parties have vied with each other in lidding for 'he tvp- port of the bank. See what a differ ence it makes in the practices of the party. In 1873 the Democrats found a surplus in the treasury, and Jack son distributed it equally among the States as a loan. In 1885 the Democrats again found HOW MUCH MAJOklTV would the Democrats need to pas a free coinage actT It no friend of silver be discouraged, however, be cause he cannot secure free rut a age the Democratic party. The Populist party is already in the field, and the free coinage ef silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is part of the Populist reli gion. Perhaps the Populists bit not be strong enough to capture the country in 18'X. but if not, they siano ready to CO-OI'IKATE WITH AN V rktEVD-or MLVER, whether they call themarlve Demo crats or Republicans. All we aak ol them is to cut loose from the fold bugs. W. C. Wii.Lr..

Please write your answer on this sheet of paper and return it to me here. Very truly. Mabion Butler, Ch'm P. P. State E. Com To the above letter I have replied as follows; Senator Marion Butler, Chairman People's Party Executive Commit tee, United State Senate, Washing ton. D. C; Dear Sir: I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 30th ult in which yon inform me that your committee were unani mously of the. opinion that there should be put in the field a iuu elec toral ticket, regardless of party affiliations, but pledged to vote for tne silver candidate xor rreaaeni; and that while your committee is not yet ready to concede to the Re publicans the nominee tor uovernor, von intimate that vou are willing to do so. I note your silence as to nominees for Consrress and the Uni ted States Senate, members of. the General Assembly, Lieutenant-Gov ernor and other State officers, and Justices of the 8upreme court: and I further note that my advice is not asked as to anything except aa to the electors for President and Vice- this action of Cleveland doubt less convinced them that they had "nothing further to fear from the Democratic party." As the surplus was still accumulating, Cleveland, with the advice of a Democratic Congress, commenced BUYING BONDS AT A TREMICM. The government had the right to call in these bonds at any time; but textile roanuiacturers attended in a body. When the convention had been called to order, a lengthy re port on the competition of Oriental manufactures with American indnv tries was presented by Charles Hn- ber Clark, of Philadelphia. It set forth that Japan was fast becoming a bold and large competi tor in the trade of the world in cot ton fabrics. Ageneies for the pro ducts of the Asiatics were rapidly being established in this country rivaling and crowding out American goods. The report concluded with lution asking the Senate of the Uni ted States to appoint a commission or to direct one of its own committee rather. than exercise this right, and! to inquire concerning this alleged invasion of the home market, and the menace offered to American manufacturers by the products of cheap Oriental Labor, to determine the cause of this menace and what means should be adopted to arrest the threatened injury to domestic producers. offend his banker friends, Cleveland chose to pay out some ttHLOOO.OOO for the privilege of paying these bonds BEFORE THET BECOME bUl. If snch examples as these will not convince the reader of the absolute eontrol which the banks have over the Democratic party, I might men tion the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, the issu ing of bonds in time of peace and tne effort now making to saddle a further issue of bonds on this coun try. But these things are fresh in THE MEMORY OF EVERY ONI. Now if we agree that the banks control the Democratic party, then, Mr. tditor, your .question naturally resolves itself into this: Can the free coinage of silver be secured through the national banks? If any Democrat has a lingering hope that the banks may prove friendly to sil ver, let him read THE SECRET CIRCULAR aw third Teach Tlaaee li A Caucasia correspondent writ ing from Macon county, says: "The good times the Democrats have been talking about, have not struck old Macon yet. Some of my neighbors have been hauling apples from one hundred to one hundred and fifty miles, and then they got only about $1.00 per bushel. It takes them from fifteen to twenty days to make a trip, bo yon how we have to do over here in Ma- eon county." Verte Afceat V The constitution of Utah contains several new features.
