WTKQER, SMaewrsssIirrsii.ttriaia.ni WORDS OF WISDOM. At TVa Prepared to Commit O arse Ires la Favor of Convtirtlnla Paper Currency. Judge T. L. Nugent, the populist candidate for governor of Texas in the campaign of 1892, contributed a lucid and exceedingly able article to a re cent issue of the Southern Mercury, from which we clip the following lumi nous passage: "The people's party at once or ganized upon the lines thus laid down, and has been fighting the battles of labor ever since. In the first campaign it polled over 1,000,000 votes, to which it added 600,000 within the two years following. It is safe to say that it could to-day poll more than 3,000,000 votes. More than this, it is growing with unexampled rapidity. All of this has been accomplished on the Omaha platform, and yet there are populists who would, in the campaign of 1800, eliminate from that platform the land and transportation planks and leave the party standing on a single finan cial issue. And why is this? The sil ver question, the answer is, will be the pivotal one the 'storm center' of the campaign. I do not doubt the sincerity or patriotism of these people, but the unwisdom of the course suggested, in my judgment can hardly be expressed in adequate language. Suppose we make a money platform only; will it be a straight dec laration in favor of scientific money or inconvertible paper? If so, can we hope for the support of silver demo crats and republicans, all of whom to a man want gold, or gold and silver, as a basis for the issuance of paper promises to pay credit money only? Are we prepared to commit ourselves in favor of convertible paper currency, by uniting with the silver democrats and republicans in the coming cam paign? If so a platform declaration for scientific money, or inconvertible money will be misleading. If we de clare for convertible paper, what sense will there be in maintaining a separate party organization? Convertible paper and free coinage of stiver measure the extent of reform as advocated by Gen. Warner and his bimetallic league; and, if our platform should go no far ther, it would be foolish not to disband our organizations and go en masse into the movement to elect Mr. Sibley. In deed, if we fall below the demand for scientific money, or at least inconvert ible paper, in our declaration for finan cial reform, then, with land and trans portation eliminated, our party will have no excuse for existence. If we must take the fag-end of financial re form, It will be cheaper to do so in the so-called silver party. If, however, we are not prepared to sacrifice our views on the money question, there is nothing to do but make an honest, com prehensive financial declaration, leav ing the silver party to take its own course. But suppose we declare in fa vor of scientific money, or an incon vertible paper currency, as I think we out to do, what then? Shall we fuse with the silver party? Would this not be to abandon our principles? Can the outcome of such a fusiou, if successful, be anything but . the double standard and convertible paper? If so, what do we gain by thus saying one thing and doing another? And will not such juggling for success lose us the respect of all fair minded men? We cannot afford thus to pattern after the old par ty methods. But if we should succeed in winning the fight with the aid of the silver party, in favor of converti ble paper based on gold and silver, what becomes of the party? It must either disband or reorganize upon a platform embodying other issues, and when we undertake to reorganize, who can predict the result? Will we suc ceed in uniting the scattered labor forces? The elimination of every is sue but the financial one will practi cally release every populist from his allegiance to the party, and if the men who place greatest stress upon the land and transportation questions, find themselves thus set adrift, who shall say that they will ever return to the fold? "The men who stand in populist ranks now, chiefly because they see in the movement the only hope for land and transportation reform, are with us also oh the money question.. If you do not drive them away by abandon ing the issues which they esteem of most importance, they will aid us in getting a settlement of the money question on right lines. A single plank practically holding forth the money issue as the only one of value will expel them from our ranks, and when once gone they will not return. "But a convertible paper will not only create a debt to be paid in coin, but it will put into the hands of the banded money monopolists the power to corner the country's primary money, and deplete the national re serve at pleasure. The banking com bine will still continue its baleful ex istence, the taxing power will still re main in the hands of railroad and other coporations controlling public functions, and the speculative land monopolist will still hold in his secure grasp the power to dictate the terms upon which starving labor shall have the right to live. When the St. Louis conference, last winter, refused to sur render to the commands of the silver men and practically give up the fight for labor, forthwith they were told by certain western senators that the bat tle for silver could not be fought with in the people's party, because the Omaha platform contained too many 'vagaries.' The 'vagaries' are the land and transportation planks, and because the action of the conference plainly showed the silver men that these planks would not be aban doned, we were contemptuously spurned by Gen. Warner and his bi metallic league, who have been unable to think on the line of reform beyond the free coinage question. It is too plain for argument that if we throw ourselves into the arms of these people, join their movement and help them to open the mints to silver, we will find in them our most deadly enemies when we endeavor once more to take up the land and transportation issues. "It might as well be understood now that the democrats and republicans who are engineering the silver party movement are not populists, and have no sympathy with .the poaple's party, except in so far as it may be made a cat's paw to pull the silver chestnuts out of the fire. Populists are all fret silver men, but tbey know that to dwarf the great reform movement down to the financial policy advocated by Gen. Warner and his associates would only make it contemptible. The problem of how to bring about a more equitable distribution of the country's wealth is the one which the people's party has undertaken to solve, in the interest of labor. Free silver is (rood as far as it roe, bnt it will not solve this problem. It may quicken tne productive forces, but it will leave undisturbed all of thap.nnditinna whlnh give rise to the undue concentration of weaitn. u ntu these conditions are re moved labor cannot rean that which it produces, and the mission of the peo ple's party will remain unaccom plished. It is well to hcur in mind that there is onlv ons narttr t.Vinrnnirh. ly united in favor of free silver, and mat one is ine people s party.

Under the caption, "Will there be a Silver Issue in 1890?" the Globe-Demo crat savs: "In the conventions, yes! At the polls, not Both republican and demo cratic free coiners will make their threatened 'demonstration' in the na tional conventions. There is no room for doubt on this point In both con ventions tbey will be beaten. This point also can safely be considered set tled, t rotn this time onward to tha conventions the republicans will have no trouble with the question, for when the league at Cleveland muzzled the delegates from the mining states all chance for a disturbance in the repub lican ranks on the question this year ended. In the convention the crush ing process will be substituted for the muzzling, and the silver 'incident,' in its present stage, so far as it concerns the republican party, will be closed. "The democracy, though, will not get off so easily. Taking all the silver states together the silverite democrats outnumber the other sort of democrats, but the other sort have the brains, tha discipline and the courage. These qualities beat mere numbers in pol itics, war and wherever else they some in conflict. In all the western and southern states, which hold con ventions to nominate state officers, there will be a fight between the two democratic elements, and some of the states which have no officers to nom inate may get up conventions to fight on' silver and nothing else. These wrangles and this great expenditure of energy will hurt the democracy for the time, and perhaps for the whole campaign, but it will have no effect on the national convention. In the con vention the silverite democrats will easily be beaten as they were in 1883 and 1892; a straddling platform will be framed and a man will be put up for president who will, if elected, veto every silver bill that gets within his reach. "But what will the free silver repub licans and democrats do when their parties turn them down in the conven tions? They will do as they did In pre vious presidential years. Some will sulk and others wjill bluster, but all, or nearly all, will vote the ticket A free silver democrat can gain nothing by voting for an anti-silver republican; a 16 to 1 republican will not help his cause by steering out from the republic an Scylla and getting swallowed up in the democratic Chary bdis. There will be a free silver party, of course that is, there will be if that Sibley-Stewart-Jones cotorie of cranks hangs together until next year, and there will be a populist party, but these cabals will have no more effect on the politics in the conditions which will prevail next year than will the prohibitionists,, the women suffragists or the single taxers. In order to make his vote count and to keep up a living connection with things the republican and the democrat will have to vote with one or the other of the two parties which will stand on the same side of the vital question of the day, and he will be exceedingly likely to stick to his own." The Globe-Democrat is undoubtedly correct as to its forecast of the action of the national conventions of the twin frauds. But the wish is father to the thought, so far as the forecast of the result at the polls is concerned. All the free silver men will be found In the ranks of the people's party when the proper time comes, and their united vote will win the day. Silver Knights. At Alexandria, Va., on June 19, Judge Norton granted a charter to a stock company to be called the su preme temple of the Silver Knights of America. The general objects are stated to be to establish a secret soci ety for the purpose of seeking to secure in a legal way the free coinage of silver in the United States and to make silver a legal tender for all debts and to collect and expend money for that purpose. The capital stock is $100,000, and the shares are $100 each. M. B. Harlow is the legal agent; W. M. Stewart, of Carson City, Nev., is presi dent; James L. Pait, vice president; Oliver C Sabine, secretary; James A. B. Bichard, treasurer, and S. S. Yoder, director-general. Chance for Populists. If there is any bottom to free-silver democrats in Kentucky, and if they are not the worst sort of cravens, willing to be run over, spit upon and kicked at will by the insolent goldite slavesof Cleveland and Rothschilds, the popu lists of that state should be able to do some business this year. We shall see how it works. If the defeated silver faction will join the populists they can elect a large number of members of the legislature and either control or have the balance of power la that body. It is possible that this may be the result Nonconformist.
