And its days on earth are numbered, People say, Its knees they knock together As it passeth down the street. And it trembles as it bends Its aged head; Its breath smells rank and masty. And there’ s bunions on its feet, And its ghastly look reminds you Ot the dead. They can’ t use it any longer.

By two-thirds of both houses of congress proposing amendments, and then being ratified by three- fourths of the legislatures of the several states, and as all hut four of the states meet biennially, we find that it could not be ratified under three years, and we don’t want to wait that long. While I would not eliminate one principle of the Omaha platform, not even the Bub-treasury plank, if I could get it enacted into law, yet for the sake of uniting the reform forces I would go to the very ex treme of magnanimity; I would come down to two planks, but noth ing less— the money plank and the initiative and referendum. But the money plank would have to he a money plank, and not a sil ver plank. It would he to coin sil ver for all comers, and then supple ment that with a full legal tender treasury note, redeemable in all taxes and dues and labor and its products, but never in any other kind of money. It would be a promise to receive and not a prom ise to pay. Then I would annul every national hank charter and issue this legal tender money direct to the people by paying all salaries and current expenses, and by pub lic improvements and loaning to the people. Now I will not deny that if we had, at this time, the initiative and referendum it would be all that would he necessary, hut we haven’t got it aud if we should get in power we would not, or could not, get it for three or four years, as we have seen. But if we should get in power we could set iu motion the machinery that would eventually give us direct legislation, ami in the mean time so regulate our financial system as to give relief almost instantly.

Already has the bugle call been sounded by our reform leaders for us to throw out our skirmish lines and get ready for the fray.

The pledges are violated in con gress as well as in the state legis latures. LEGISLATORS «P 1895. ‘•The New York state legislature of 1895 was probably the most in competent, vicious and useless that the people were ever called upon to pay for. The session itself cost the 7,000,000 people o f the state almost as much as the 1994 term of the British parliament, which made laws for 300,000,000 of its citizens and colonists and about one-sixth as much as the second session of the 53d congress, which legislated for 70,000,000.

Yet with everything in its hands and a fixed program of fair promises in which all factions of the party were in accord the session had not pro gressed two weeks before promises were scattered to the winds aud a disgraceful policy of hossisin, ex travagance and down-right defiance of public interests was adopted and put into operation.”— New York World. _ -r ' • GOOD FOR EVERYBODY Almost everybody takes some laxative medicine to cleanse the system and keep the blood pure.
