I THAT POLICY NEEDED.- fc-teorwttfcotil co.ihfarHo,bywt kit to say about hfe noMttoal, THE POLICY NEEDED. Iht thing ef utgeat, vital importance far the gowtiiB t of that country is to the policy fro that of Cleve- iu putting the country further into debt by the issue of bonds during times, of pesos. Than would have been do necessity for this bad then not been tat the threat of, aad af terwarda the actual repeal of the MeKnley tari acL Oar away was good enough four yean ago, ia fact it baa been perfectly good aver since the resumption of specie It will bs remembered that the repub heau party aot only declared for re sumption, bat that it fixed a day for aotaal resumption, and then took doe aad proper Measures to make resump tioa a aneeeaa. It had so well provided for the same that on the day fixed there waa available for the purpose in the treasury $135,862,639 of gold coin and bullion, and in addition $32,476,095, in silver coin aad bullion, the gold alone nearly equal to forty per cent of the United States notes then outstanding. . We remember well the time, and also that very many good citizens were fear ful a task had been undertaken utterly impossible of accomplishment, but it waa done, and the very fact that the government policy was declared to make all oar dollars good as any nation's dol lars, and meet all our obligations by honest payment of the same, has kept the credit of the nation good all these years, and the same policy now will keep it so. We verily believe that the overwhelm ing election of McKinley and a congress to support him wfll enable his adminis tration to put us again in line with four years ago, excepting the $26215,400 in interest bearings bonds that the Cleve land administration added to the public debt bonds payable in thirty years and which in the meantime will have cost us, in interest alone, $344,778,480, making altogether $607,093380. Four years sgo there were a number of voters in the United States who said they thought the country " needed a change to free-trade, tariff-reform or whatever they were pleased to call it at that time, and Bryan was one of these. We got the change. The increased bonded indebtedness above alluded to, and the loss of untold millions of dol lars in wages and business consequent upon the change in policy and reversal of administration from republican are the undoubted monuments of the su- iMsauraW not fMRira sue act rata a. or even as aat oconse. but ooeplea " w - - - . with a number of other appomtmenM of a similar nature, aad e peoially wHk Mr. TJaalman's, another leading- DeusosfasT made at the same time, aad who was an spaHraat for the aaaio. pojitieu, you ass charged with party paraoyaad i assault upsa 'the Independent orgsnlsatlou ! this state, a charm you will have to ro usoa tdal fare the' bar of oag -neaate, aa ssay. Go defend the right. - After a somewhat lengthy defeasa of his own motives, in wbieh he thtt he too luri ebme out of the cratic party, bat that he, coasidsred flat Populist party "humanity last aad only hope," Mr. Wolfe prooeads to say; I by no mesas think you are a bad amaa. I only think you have proven yourself a weak one. Yon are by no mesas the Rest man. even in Nebraska, whose 'arablrton has o'erleaped Itself." The politleal high way Is everywhere strewn with its wreaks. Men are more or lew (and frequently more) liks pigs. If fed oa too rkh food they develop too much flesh for the amount of bone, and especially backbone. The remedy, in the oase of pig, la to put them on a diet of skimmed jnilk, aad I can ase no reason why it would not act as well in one ease ss in the other. It may not be your fault. You have neither been in a position, nor in the condition, since our reform movement b?gan. to bs able to grasp its full meaning. You have been in good circumstances and drawing a liberal salary. Your mind ha been occupied more with law and with loans than with distressed homesandan Impoverished peo ple. You did not, I believe, attend either the Cincinnati or St. Louis conference, or the Omaha national convention. You have, therefore, probably not been baptised with the "baptism that is unto repentance." I am not speaking of or dealing with your intentions. You are too good a lawyer not to know that all law presumes a man to intend the consequence of his own acts, aad the sooner you recognise the fact that, when you are consorting with the Demo cratic or any other party, you are mining at your bosom a torpid viper that, ai soon as It is warmed into life by Popullst&c heat and strengthened by Populist nour ishment, will turn on its benefactor with all the aocustomed. vigor and venom, the sooner you will sec and realize the folly of your course. They (the Democrats) may permit, and even assist, a chosen candidate now and then to come into office, but it will be found generally, if not always, at the expense of all the rest of the ticket; and so small a victory may mean more harm to in than a total temp orary defeat. The old Democratic ship is down deep in the trough of the political C, and of, and by itself, can never be ely harbored. It is both seaworn and unseaworthy, and Mr. Bryan and Mr. Bland have seen the approaching catas trophe, and have each lowered a silver lifeboat and struck for the shore. The one for help to save the old ship, the other to build a new one. Of the two, Mr. Bland shows the mot sense, but there is a method in Mr. Bryan's madness. If you and the Independent party will get aboard atal administrative acta. He ia by leading numbers of the party that elected him, aad the fact that no Democrat has taken his papist hand to find any fault with his admin iatration wiU probably be construed by any Populists as a vartneatioov of, wide open suspicion that his is not even skin deep. whQa his moy is bred in the boae. Previous to the nomiuatfoa of 8Uaa A. Holcomb for diatriet Judge by tha Populists of the Twelfth Judicial dis trict he waa unknown outside of Broken Bow, where ha had hang up a lawyer's shingle.bat waa engaged ia the lucrative occupation of loaning to Caster county waters at ratas of interest that were not only usurious, but exorbitantly so. Tha judicial oonvenfion was held at Eddy ville, on the new line of the Kearney and Black Hills railway, and eouttbody 's manipulation had secured tha location there to prevent too much local pi fan on the part of tha friends of a oouple of Populist candidates fro::i Kearney. In dications pointed to the nomination of John Barnd or W. L. Greene. Hoteoaah was unknown and unthoaght of. Ha had never, at that time, been identified with the Populist parry aad waa only known politically as a Democrat of tha old school, holding none of the modern ideas of the embryotie Demopops of that day. When the convention met it waa easy enough, to engineer a deadlock. Tha convention continued nearly the whole of one night, over 80 ballots being taken, and at the oonclaaion Holoomb, the dark horse, won the nomination. Who was responsible for Holcomb'a candidacy? John H. Hamilton, presi dent of the Kearney and Black Hills Railway company. Hamilton waa a Virginia Democrat. He had made Hol comb's acquaintance and there waa an affinity between them. Moreover, Mr. Hamilton was building a new railroad through Buffalo, Dawson and Custer counties, all in the Twelfth judicial district, and no one knew better than himself the advantage to accrue front haying a "friendly-Injun" on the bench. So the loau agent and the creat ure of a railroad president, became the candidate of the anti-monopoly narfty in the district. Judge Haraer had incurred the hos tility of the loan agents of the district through his partiality for the farmers in mortgage foreclosure oases. The result was that every real estate loan agent in the district supported Holcomb, who was elected by a small majority, not withstanding the large Populist major ity in the district, and he owed his to say about hk TsaTRaasa'ag aje'SJassa)aaa; The great dentaad by the people throughout the United dtatas that Mo Kinky shall he iMuntaaiwl at the St Loam convention ia simply declara tioa by them that by such a nomination they are indorsing a restoration of Ike tariff that will pradaee revenue sag easntlorall theputyoseaof gomansaat and that tha tariff will be the. leading issue of thecomingcampaigu.
