He is right again in saying that the people's party is the only party that can or will give cthe people a genuine reform of our system of nation;1.! taxa'ion. It is all very well and proper for peo ple's party men to ridicule and de nounce the farcical warfare of the two old parties on the tariff question: but when it e nies to saying that there is "nothing in the tariff quest ion," that is a very different matter. And it is high time the people grappled with the question in earnest. Mr. Gibson's proposed plank is very ingenious, and undoubtedly has many merits. Whether it would be advis- aoie io auopi 11 at umana, we are hardly prepared to say. The great popularity achieved by Blaine's reci procity idea in so short a time, would indicate that the people are ready to endorse such a plank as this.

These doctrines are great fundamental f.uths. and they must be made the foundation stones on which any sound financial system is built. The greenbaekers proposed farther that the money issue i by the govern ment should be put into circulation without the intervention of banks, and therefore demanded that all bauks of i.-sue should be abolished Some of the seeds sown by the old greenbaekers fell among the thorns of false doctrines, of ridicule, of slander. in.l 41,.....,., i i i , mvi im iimu MPiium u a nil cnoKei 1 by man he .-tore- J .TS of to- i" I MoT 11..
