The friends of the Union Pacific funding bill charge its defeat to the Populist congressman from Kansas, and the passage of the in come tax law was clearly a victory for the populists at thelast session. Every populist last Thursday vot ed against the gold bond shobeme and it was defeated by their influ ence, and ag these are the most es sential features passed on so far in recent legaisative propositions, we have every reason for being proud of our little band of reformers it the national capital.--Chicago Sen The State Normal School at Nat4atces closed the first term oftits present session the last of I January, with a total enrollment - of 825 students.

The Gold Standard Helps Only the the East and Europe. to ch The Constitution has been con- of tending that so far as the interest er of the great mass of the people of by this country are concerned, the tr; single silver standard would be be more beneficial than the single le gold standard. We have not ad- en vocated, nor do we now advocate, sa the single silver standard, but we ar have maintained, and we think we ty have very clearly shown that if h the remonetization of silver result- at ed in a premium on gold the ma- w terial and productive interest of di this country would be in a vastly al better condition than they now are at or than they are ever likely to be of under the single gold stanidard. It is both surprising and grati- tl fying to find that The London tl Statist, the foremost financial jour- st nal of the world's financial center, agrees with The Constitution in tl this matter. It is surprising, be- tl cause The Statist is a warm and an it eager organ of gold monometalism. o' The editor nevertheless, sees two p sides to the question, and, in dis- a cussing the recommendations of r, Mr. Cleveland for a five hundred o million bond issue, he refers to a a possibility of a premium on gold. 11 Although the declarations of the a Statist were cabled to the New e York newspapers through the me dium of the Associated Press, all r that portion relating to the results t of a premium on gold was care- i fully suppressed in the columns of t those great dailies which belong, t body and soul, tothe money sharks. 1 We print below what the Statist 4 says on this important matter, and I commend it to the careful atten tion of our readers: If gold is demonetized it is per fectly clear that there will be a greater transfer of property from the capitalist and lending classes to the producing and borrowing class es. This would be of immense ad vantage to the west and south, and would prove a serious loss to the eastern states and to Europe. Of course a great country like the United States adopting a silver standard would have great mSAu ence on the whole of the world, and silver would undoubtedly rise, but it would be long before it reached 60 pence. The great re duction of debts all over the Unit ed States by a fall to silver would give the farming and producing classes generally a sense of free dom and prosperity which they have not had for many years, and would probably give a great stim 5 ulus to production. If silver did i not rise much for a while, Ameri o can wheat, cotton, pork, etc., would compete with the produce of other m countries at a very great advant -. age, and there would be probably a very rapid and great growth of ry exports and at the beginning an g. era of great prosperity. On the other hand, t lending and creditor lasses would suffer, a but their alosses would not affect 1. production to anything like the same extent as the gams of the - debtors sad producers would do. in Further ther would be a very se rious fall in Mecurities, which would cd in the United States a in Europe. S If Congres refuses legislation, then gold would go to a premium, S-but probably not high. The ten dency would still be to benefit debtoraand producers, and would at injure capitalists and lenders, while production and exports would he in stimulated, .though not to a great of extsat. at Thirdly, if the mints were open r-ed for free coinage, which would tead to make the gold premium Shigher still, the premium would h not e very high, uad the reduc~ of tioa d the debt ad loser of capi his talists would be small compalred Swith the demometisation of gold. - Whet the Statist meas here by a- the "detamaimeatio" of gold is nmot its demoetatioa by statute~, bat its temporery denonetisatiof a by ramol a premium. Ths re as mark that a premium oa gold will m. "sta r ok f prapmrty from the "apitalists and lending classes 1t to the producing and borrowing ail' classes" is simply the phraseology as of the goldbug. It is only anoth- Co er way of saying that the process by which pr perty is now being transferred from the producers and S borrowers to the capitelists and ne lending classes would come to an Po end. It is only another way of to, saying that the single gold stand- iny ard does unjustly transfer proper- fri ty from the producers to the money wit sharks, and that if the silver stand- to ard were adopted this transfer ga would not only cease, but the pro- pa ducers and borrowers would be ce able, by means of higher prices wi and the higher debt-paying power we of products, to recover a good wi part of the .substance of which di they have been unjustly robbed by ha the operations of the single gold A standard. ge The statement of so high an an- by I thority as the London Statist that de the silver standard "would be of lic 1 immense advantage to the people w of the west and south, and would ar ' prove a serious loss to the eastern w - states and to Europe," is only a fr f roundabout way of saying that the so I operations ot the single gold stand s artd involves an immense lose to the it people ot the south and west, and Ia ea corresponding gain to the east- P Sern states and to Europe. to Under those circumstances it is 1 not only amazing but absoluhtely a a disheartening to find newspapers P in the south not only willing but P f eager to sacrifice the interest otf the people who nourish and sap 5. port them to the interest of the t east and of Europe. We presume Id that never before in the history of l .- the world has such a spectacle been offered for thoughful men to gaze upon and weep over. The news papers of the east are practically m solid in supporting a monetary sys to tem which robs the producers of - lthe south and west, and enriches A| the eastern states and Europe, but in the south, wherever a newspa he per is published next door to a ke bank, or whenever it has official or or semi-offBcial connection with the u- administation (which has deserted d, both its party and its principles.to Spromote the greed of the east) such a newspaper will be found advoca it- ting the continued robbery of the Id people who'support and maintain it. ag For many reasons The Constita e' tion is glad that so high an author 3 ity as The Statist has made this .. matter so clear. What it calls "a id transfer.of property" would in re ri- ality be a retrauster. The trajsfer ld has already taken place in the er shape of falling prices and shrink y ing values, as compared with the of increased purchasing. power ot an money ingthe hands of the easteln capitalists. The retransfer, which ag would only be a simple act of jns tie, long delayed, would take place he by means of higher prices, enlarg he ed values'anod the low er purchasinag lo. power of money. SBut, in the end-nay almost im Smediately~-this retransfer would benefit all classes of all sections by , inereasing business of all kinds, by m, promoting new investments of all k- inds and enlarging old ones, and by restoriag prosperity to all class ile e sad to all sections. The Statist be geson to sy that the west and mat the msath "are perfectly right in the view that a ehange in the pres Sent systnem wouldbeneft their ee tioens of the nation." We go fur. d ther thin this and coartead that by o- removing the present depression t,- e ring properity it will hen e the people of the whole coun t , with the xeeption of a fewb by handred mone shberks in Wall is street and other portions of the ite, east, ion The Constitution prefers the tree re- uad unlimited coilage of both gpld ill and silver, but if the east, by set om ting its ftae against remdal legis lation, drives the country to the silver standard, we shall hail that as the next best remedy.-Atlanta Constitution. DERRY, LA., Feb. 16th, 1895. EDITOR POPULIST :-Please give. space for these few lines in your next issue, as I wish for our Populist friends in ward two to read this, as I am a Populist myself, and wish all our Populist friends, and all friends to help u.1 with prohibition, as f would like to know what does our poor friends gain by whiskey being sold in this parishl What do we get from li censes, as well as our friend in ward two? only being molested as we are down here in wayrd ten,_ where there is a great deal of the dreadful stuff sold, considering the hard times and scracity of money., And what does our poor people get only being molested, even by their friends when they are un. der the influence ot intoxicating liquor, and that is what our friends would get to, were it not that they are away off where not a drop of whiskey is sold, but think of us friends, that are where whiskey is sold, as we in ward ten, often are. The case, a distant friend pissing in front of our doors using profane l language, and even shooting their pistols and Winchesters, ani to take all these events to court, takes money out of the vicinity, as well as out of our pockets. And gt present under the whiskey law, our t parish collects whiskey license and t the police jury gets school funds from some other source, and with e all the large sum collected . from e whiskey license and taxes, the po f lice jury discontinued our schools. n So let us try some other way than. I whiskey licenses to get our chpols -- continued, .let us save our dimes Sand quarters now spent for liquor, and the cause of liquor being sold, and when our police jury can not a continue our schools, we can onr It selves, and have a moralized com a- mnnity, so that we may see when a we go to Natchitoches, the jail or house open and no prisoners to bel me at the expense of the parish, and xl let the grass grow on the streets to in the city of Natchitoohes. Let b us consider, a large per cent of the a- criminal cases are caused by liquor; he let as think of our friends, and even it. relatives that are in the pen and ,u. jail-that never would have.. been there were it not for liquol being. so convenient, that they got under 'a the influense and committed crimes e they nevet would have committed. had it not been for whiskey being. be sold in bar-rooms. . If there was none spld. any one; he who wished to drink whiskey could ot send to a city and get a jug and kn eep it at their homes, and take a ch drink when they wished, that way, Isr. Anti, would be .less expensive to the parish, and then we £will Shave a moral community, andl also o more money in the country. Now, let us vote for prohibition laws sad help the oountry, while at present under the whiskey law. there is no chance to derive any beneft therefrom.
