THE SITUATION.
Facts and ConelUKlons Concerning the The
.Sclcctlou of tho Next President.
It requires 203 electoral votes for
cither of tho old party nominees to win
in November. Failing these, Mr. Har
rison stops into well merited oblivion,
for in tho houso he has not the shadow
of a chance. It is practically conceded
that ho cannot deliver for himself these
223 votes. Neither can Mr. Cleveland.
In which case the contest goes to con
gress under conditions unrivaled for in
terest and result in tho history of this
country, becauso the money power nnd

Relying on that feeling of nartisanshin

conventions.
The Omaha convention, which Inau
gurated a third party movement, has
been laughed at by the old politicians.
Xot always tlje wcatherwise. however,
are correct in thtir predictions. The
cloud net bigger than a man's hand
when first seoji sometimes envelops the
whole heavens. Events now in progress
indicate that Weaver and Field ar cer
tain to prove more formidable candi
dates than tho old time political prophets
are willing to admit. Partisan-riiip is
not retaining its usual hold on the peo
ple, and tho People's party is liable to
gather to it tho votes of all the dissatis
fied elcineuts of the people. A land
slide, as is utid iu politics, may be the
result.
In the mining states the repudiation of
silver by both the old parties will influ
ence tho people to vote for Weaver and
against Harrison or Cleveland. In the
south and the agricultural states of the
middle west the fanners aro up in arms
against both the old parties. The labor
unions everywhere are against the men
and the parties whoso laws permit Pink
erton !etectics to shoot down working-
men whooe only crime is a demand for
sufficient wages with which to feed and
clothe their families. The defeat of the
silver bill, the rattlo barons' raid into
Wyoming, the Homestead affair, the
Idaho trouble ore all certain to bear
fruit at the pells next November. Iu
any issuo in this country iu which it is a
contest between money and ballots it is
a certain thing that the ballots will ul

Now. in all fairness, if a party .don't
represent the principles that we believe
are founded on justice, of what use is
that party to us?
Cnt we are told that if we leave or.r
party the other party that horrible
wolfish party will capture the country,
and we will be at their merry. So keep
on in our noble party and keep out tho
wolf that will devour our industries, and ;
jnst give us a chance and all will be
well. So plow on, boys, and rest assured
we are your friends. Yes. vote out tho
wolf and vote in the lion. Which is the
worst? Truo, the lion can make the
most noise, but both dike are boasts of
prey.
Which shall we vote for the wolf,
the lion or for equal rights to all?
Choose you this day whom yon will
serve justice and equity or Mammon.
Will yon stand up for rights of the down
trodden and oppressed people?
If yon proclaim to tho world whero
tou stand, if yon are 0:1 the side of the
money power and conscientiously be-1
lieve you are right, you havo a perfect
right to be there. But you have no
right to vote for principles not con
sistent with yonr belief. Neither has
any man a right to claim to be a re
former and cast his vote for a party who
opposes reform.
If your love for party is above your
love of liberty and justice, then, by tho
eternal, vote for your party, and vote
yonrself Into a life of servitude, com
pared to which the days of tbo chattel
slave would be a paradise. This is tho
decisive conflict. We roust proclaim to
the world as did our Revolutionary fore
fathers of old, that we are a free and
independent people, or else we must
bow in meek submission and accept tho
state we are so rapidly approaching a
class of serfs and money kings.
Which shall it be? B. H. T. in Cot

Tho brethren in Kansas havo buried
the bloody shirt too deep for resurrec

When a 6tato such as Kansas, where
formerly half tho voters wero Union!
soldiers and nearly all former Republic
ans, nominate- for congress an ex-confederate
colonel it is timo for us- of tho
south to stop tho months of our own
bloody shirt wavers and moot our Kan

Lrndios Their Debts.
Tho last report of the secretary of the
treasury shows that tho national bnuks
( alone are lending ucarlv $2,000,000,000.
i or about double tho highest amount
that any one estimates there is in
all forms in this country. Tho amount
lent iu other ways cannot be less
than ten times as much as tho banks
lend probably it is many times ten
.but at the lowest estimate it would take
more money than is in esistivnce to pay
A per cent, interest on the loans. The
result is tho owners of tho little money
in existence are quietly absorbing all
the proiicrtv in tho country as compen
sation for tho use of their credit. They
aro hoarding their cash and lending
their debts. Colorado Farmer.

A Government Pawnshop.
The bankers object to the land loan
and snbtreasury methods of getting
money into circulation among the peo
plo on tho grounds that it is making a
pawnshop of tho government to secure
tho loans. Let's see. When tho nation
al hanker wants money he goea to tho
government and pawns 'his bonds for
nine-tenths their face value. Ho re
ceives tho money and leaves the bonds
in pawn. Is this not- making a pawn'
