D a n g e r to L ib e r ty .
Calveston News: The fart is that the
programme formulated at Chicago mere
ly marks the skirmish line of a great and
hnal battle for soeial revolution, indus
trial reeimsl ruction, and constitutional
subversion. Without consitutional safe-
guards tlu-ro can he no assurance of eitli-
er free government or individual liberty.
An unchecked social D«»mocracv means
no law hut the law of brute force, no
rule and no order but the rule and order
of irresponsible tyrannv.
Intelligent
citizens grounded in wholesome appre
ciation of the constitutional essentials
of a stable republic, who supremely
cherish the priceless interests of consti
tutional liberty and security, who feel
that there can he no true progress with
out the conservation of these interests,
will not fail to see in present emerg«»n-
ci«»s where their common danger lies.
Realizing also that the problem of de
fense is their common concern, they can
well understand that how they may best
proceed to combat, defeat and disarm
their common enemy is a question of
momentary expediency to be decided in
the light of current eveuts and modify
ing circumstances.

ifl the real situation in Rockford? Th
i
number of bankers in that city is, . J * -
1
gether, thirteen, and the total amour« o f
capital which these thirteen banker» havo
is $375,000. The total amount of de
posits in their banks is $3,400.000.
that these thirteen bankers, with a total
paying capacity of but $375.000, are
entrusted with $3,400.000 of other pee-
‘
pie’s money with i which
to do buaine _
in any
in7 manner they choose. Upon it»
face, it would seem that any number o f
men who have a total paying capacity o f
but $375,000 must be of great in
fnt« grity,
uprightness and reliability to be entrust
ed by the very people with whom they
lire and do business with whom ther
their paying capacity, or $3,400,000.
Who are the people who have entrusted
thi9 thirteen with so large a sum of
money, so much in excess of their pay
ing capacity?
They number 9,500 in
that city of a total population of 30,000.
In this case, therefore, who i n the
debtors?
They are undoubtedly the
bankers. Th«»se thirteen men owe the»e
9,500 depositors $3,400,000.
Now, if all that has been said about
the rapacity of the creditor class be true,
think of the situation in which these de
positors have these poor bankers. If
all that has been sai«i about the poverty,
th«* wretchedness and the enslaved con
dition of the debtor class be true, think
of the miserable plight of these poor
bankers.

the great majority have fallen into the

practically owning the majority of the
people and able to dictate to them, ar*»
"sucking” what is called the “ lif» blood”
out of the country.
Who are these terrible creditors who
are doing this? Name a single class.

It entered upon its work by violating

It deprived a sovereign state of a voice

It refused to efnlorse the honesty and

It adopted a platform which favors th»

and thereby it repudiate*! a tiui«*-honored

Springfield, 111., July 11.—Senator Joba
M. Palmer has come out opeuly against
the Chicago platform and nominees
Bryan and Sewall. He said today that
he personally knows of 500 Democrats
in this (Sangamon) county who will not
support the ticket, and he thinks tUera
are twice that number who will not. II»
continued:
"N o Democrat, so far as I hnve bees
informed, will support the Populist ticket

that the Democrats of Illinois, iu c»-
op« ration with Democrats of other state»,
call u convention aud nominate candi
dates. 1 favor local ticket» in all
congressional districts aud in all tb»
counties, in order to preserve the Demo
cratic organization.”
Having thus stuted bis views as to th»
course that ought to be pursued tb»
senator was ask*-d if he thought ther»
was auy danger to be expected lroro th»
silver movement, lie r«*y!ied:
“ Not a partidle. Mr. Bryan will re
