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. Toe so

veritable Trojan horse if we are not

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1896.
All Frea Sliver Man Will Hare to Find a
Home In the People's Party Ranks.
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.
