Citv office 117 So. 10th St. Depot Cor. 8ih and S. 5t0 CHRIST AND BELIAU What CiMiMirt liar Tlmyf How Can ropnlUK tiis with Kilhrr of Ilia Twlu KthikUT ( Yes, danger ahead; danger to the people's pnrty. Not so much danger from without as from within the popu list ranks. And the danger arises from an overweaning hankering for oniea on the part of certain so-called populist "leaders" which prompts them to seek as well as consent to fusion with one or the other of the old par ties in county and state elections. Again and again, as occasion re quired, have these columns been filled with arguments and facts and his torical precedents setting forth the evil consequences sure to follow in the wake of a 'fusion" movement with either wing of the enemy we are fight ing. And so long ns there remains selfish demagogues and unprincipled oftlce-seekers within the party ranks who are ever on the alert to secure their own material advancement at the sacrifice of party principle, just so long must this fight on fusion continue by those who have at heart the best inter ests of the people's purty. These remarks are prompted by the news that certain populists of Missis sippi are urging fusion with the repub licans of that state for the coming campaign. Also by reports from other 6tates relative to fusion with one or the other of the old parties on county tickets. It is poor encouragement for a populist editor to show up the falla cies of old-pnrty politics only to have his supporters give the lie to his state ments by throwing aside party princi ples and uniting with their opponents in a grand raid on the public crib. What principles in common have the populists and republicans of Missis sippi and Tennessee? What principles in common have the populists and democrats of Kansas and Missouri? Would a fusion victory in Mississippi this fall advance the cause of free coinage, or government loans, or gov ernment control of monopolies one iota? Would not the victory be claimed as a republican victory, aud would not the policy of the victors be the same policy everywhere dictated to the re publicans by their Wall street masters? When populists of the south join ranks with the republicans and vote what they may be pleased to call a "fusion" ticket, or '"union" ticket, or "independent" ticket, there won't be populist principle enough in the com bine to distinguish it from a band of clear-quill republicans. No more can be said of a union of populists and northern democrats there might be more populism in the mixture after the election, but after that the movement would have to line up with the Cleveland-Wall street gang. The lessons taught by fusion in Maine, fusion in Michigan, fusion in Tennessee, Kansas, and elsewhere ought to be sufficient to dever any loyal populist from seriously consider ing for a moment any proposition for fusion of any kind. Let the line of separation from the old parties be clearly drawn, if it is not already; let the populist sheep be congregated on one side the line, and the republican and democratic goats be crowded over on the other side. There is plenty of room in the populist pasture for old party sheep, but their coats must be all wool. These fusion short cuts to success invariably lead into an old party trail. Beware of them. The only safe way is to keep moving right along in the middle of the road; keep off the side tracks and turn a deaf ear to those mischief-makers that Fare always wanting to stop awhile for "refreshments." In this way alone can the "danger ahead" be successfully avoided. Chicago Express. Flat Money. Just now the gold-bugs are rying to scare the people by setting up the howl of "fiat money," when the truth is, the government never issued any thing but fiat money. It is the fiat of the government that makes a thing money. If all our laws in relation to money were repealed to-day, every thing that we call money would cease to be money, and you could no more force the merchant to take it for a bill of goods than you can compel him to take wheat or Texas ponies. To-morrow let the fiat of the government be re-enacted, calling it money, and it would become money. But, without such fiat, it matters not what the stamp on what we call money may be, it is only bullion or paper, and the question of commodity value has noth ing whatever to do in determining whether it is fiat or not John P. St. John. Don't lie Fooled. The lines seem to be strictly drawn between silver and gold between plu tocracy and the common people. But let true patriots view with suspicion any attempts to draw them into the meshes of a hidden net. If there are those who really mean to train with a party that indorses free silver the peo ple's party is already organized with: "We demand the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the pres ent ratio of 1G to 1," as a leading plank in its platform. The democratic party could give us anything they want to now, if they would. The republican party could have done so for thirty years. Then to depend on either for free silver is too silly to talk about. Don't do it. Just keep in the middle of the road and educate and agitate. Alliance Plow Bov. Alabama I'opnllsts. The executive committee of the Ala bama people's party met in council last week and resolved to "keep in the mid dle of the road," and the Birmingham Tribune, commenting on the same, says: ' lne executive committee of the people's party has covered itself with glory. The most ardent populist could have done no better had a blank page and a fountain pen been placed at his' head to map out work for it, than this noble body of men performed in six hours' labor in this city yesterday. The day and the work are glorious and everlasting." RANK IDIOCY. Thrra Is No Mnrh Thine In F.tUtrnc la This Conntry as a I- !'- nt lllar. What absolute idiocy is all this talk about 50-cent dollars! There is no such thing in existence in tbi country. A silver dollar or a greenback will buy as .much of any commodity and pay as much debt or taxes as a gold dollar. Dollars are not made to eat, drink or wear. They are absolutely worthless, except for their use in the payment of debts and taxes and the purchase of things the people need. Header, what do you care what a' dollar is made of so long as it will buy what you want? llave you any other use for dollars? It is true there is a difference in the commercial price of the commodities of which money is now made. Upon this fact, the sordid money advocates base the sophistry by which they seek to lead the people through deception to their ruin. Do you not know that when a commodity is converted into money, it ceases to be a commodity, and that so long as it remains money it has no other value than that given it by the fiat of the government? Commodity value disappears, and only money value remains. When it is again converted into a commodity it ceases to be money and cannot perform any of the functions of money. The one central idea relative to money is its creation for a specific pur pose. It is a legal tender in payment of debt (which gold is not) and it serves as a certificate to the holder that he has contributed some service or furnished to society something of value which entitles him to an equivalent in return of anything he may desire. What matters it, then, what material is used in this certificate? Only while it pre serves the impress of the government fiat can it perform the function for which it is designed, and anything which bears this impress will perform that function, no matter of what ma terial it is composed. Out upon this arrant nonsense of intrinsic value in money. Money has no intrinsic value and can have none. While anything remains money, it can have none except its money value, and in order to have any other value its money function must be destroyed. Topeka (Kan.) Advocate. . White Slaves. Even plutocracy was startled by the recent announcement that three hun dred coal miners in Spring Valley, 111., had offered to go into voluntary slav ery if guaranteed, for themselves and families, comfortable homes, plenty of fuel, food and serviceable clothing. They represent the best element among the miners and are willing to thus serve, without a cent of wages, offer ing to sign an ironclad contract Dur ing the last three years, these poor people say, they have often suffered for the necessities of life and that rather than see their families suffer any more, they will become serfs. Commenting on the above the New York Herald remarks that the lot of the average Illinois miner has never been above serfdom. If a history of the alleged suffering endured in that state by the employes of mining cor-' porations is ever written, adds the Herald, it may cause the organization ' of a new abolition party.. Noncon formist ' : Once more the old party leaders are attempting to revive the tariff as a presidential issue for next year. The money question will not be side tracked and it is a waste of time to at tempt it Washington Republic. An Outing and Health at Small Cost.

Gallaher, was an extensive, successful expert manu facturer of lumber products. Attacked with epilepsy, he was obliged to give up his busi ness. The attacks came upon him most In opportunely. One time falling from a carri age.'at another down stairs, and often in the street Once he fell down a shaft in the mill, his Injuries nearly proving fatal. Mr. Gallaher writes from Milwaukee, Feb. 18, '85. "There are none more miserable than epi leptics. For 20 years I suffered with epilep tic fits, having as high as five in one night I tried any number of physicians, paying to one alone, a fee of 1500.00 and have done little for years but search for something to help me, and have taken all the leading remedies, but received no benefit. A year ago my son, Cbas. S. Gallaher, druggist at 1S1 Heed St., Milwaukee, gave me Dr. Miles' Eestoratlve Nervine, and I tried it with gratifying results. Have had but two fits since I began taking it I am better now In every way than I have been in 20 years. Dr. Miles' Eomedies are sold by druggists on a positive guarantee that the first bottle will benefit or price refunded. Book on the Heart and Nerves, free.
