II has been reported that the populist
vote in this stale had decreased about 25
per cent, over the vote of 1893, but from
the above figures it will be seen that the
populist vote of this year has increased
4,785 over the v*t* of 1892. We give
herewith the total opposition vote of '90,
'92 and '94, compared with the populist
vote:
52.971

Dem. and Rep. vote '94.
Howe's vote '94
49,810
27,309
Opposition maj.... 22,501
It will thus be seeu that the populist
vote in this state has increased5.897 votes
over the combined opposition in four
years, and o. p. organs tell us the pop
ulist parly is dead.
There were over 77,000 votes cast in
this state ia 1890, over 70.000 votes in
1892, and over 77,000 votes in 1894. The
north half of this stale, where the pop
ulist vote was heaviest, has lost over
7.000 voters in four years, some place us
high as 9:000, and two-thirds of this vote
was safely populist. The populist, party
of this state shows a solid gain, and lias
reduced the combined opposition vote
nearly 6.000 votes in four years. The
populist party has had the solid opposi
tion of the corporations to meet, aided by
money and party machinery. The pop
ulist party is bound to win, or force the
necessary reform legislation.
FINANCIAL
TRUTHS.
Senator Stewart Writes the Mercury
A Letter on Finances.
(Texas Southern Mercury.)
The universal distress in all gold
standard countries calls aloud for relief.
Will the people ever learn what makes
hard times? Will they ever And out that
when money is scarce it will be dear, and
that when mouey is dear, property must
be cheap? Every farmer and every pro
ducer wants a good price for what he has
to sell. The owners of money feel the
same way. They want money dear be
cause it is their property. Money chang
ers want money to increase in value as
much as the planter and the wheat grow
er want cotton aud wheat to bring a high
price.
Suppose a farmer had the power and
was wicked enough, could he uot raise
the price of his wheat or his cotton by
destroying one-half of all the wheat and
cotton in the world except his own? The
money combinations had the power, and
were wicked enough, to destroy one-balf
of the metalic money of the world by the
demonetization of silver. They did not
destroy their own money, but took ad
vantage of the knowledge they had of
what they intended to do and bought
gold and silver, so that by the destruct
ion of silver they could destroy other
people's money and keep their own.
Every dollar in gold will now buy twice
HS much property as it would before the
combination destroyed silver. The en
hanced value of money has caused a cor
responding decline to the price of wheat
and all other property.
Senator Sherman secured for the gbld
combination, in 1875, the rejection of
silver a3 a money metal by ommitting
the silver dollar from the list of coins in
the codification of the mint laws. W!i
the fraud was discovered it was ap|u..%
ed'bv the republican party by refill '..
to remonetize silver, and continuing
recognize Mr. Sherman as their finai.•...
leader, and by the votes of three-foiu
of the republican members in the
housesof congress againstevery alien.t.t
to restore to silver the right of coinage
which had existed for thousauds of years
previous 'o the crime of 1873, demonetiz
ing silver. The great mass of the demo
cratic party for many years denounced
the robbery of demonetizing silver, and
promised coinage of that metal upon the
terms and conditions applicable to the
coinage of gold until the people believed
they were in earnest and elected Mr.
Cleveland in 1884 on a free coinage plat
form. After his election Mr. Cleveland
turned out to be a trump card in tlie
hands of the gold combination. The
power and patronage of his great office
enabled him to recruit the forces of the
gold tepublicans with a sufficient number
from the ranks of free coinage democrats
to Make the triumph of gold monopoly
complete aud bring misery to ti*e home
of every laboring man and every pro
ducef in the land. Cleveland democracy
and John Sherman republicanism are one
and tiie same on all financial issues, and
both -do the bidding of the national banks
and the great banking institutions of
Eurcupe, with Rothschilds at the head.
The names of the republican anddemo
cratic •party are used to deceive the peo
ple and make them believe when they
are voting for one parly that they are
voting against the wicked policy -of the
other, and whichever gets control of the
government the Rothschilds' party is
in power to make war on the people by
standard contraction. The only differ
ence between thu two old parties, is, who
shall have the offices. The leaders and
slump orators of both the old parties are
now telling the people that the distress
of the people, that the dis.tress of the
country results from the ruinous policy
of the other, thereby assuming that the
two wings of ihe cold party have a dif
ferent policy on the paramount issue.
The tariff is, by common consent, of both
the old gold parties made the paramount
issue. Each party promises to make
times better by tariff legislation but the
more either party legislates on that sub
ject the worse the times become. Falling
prices make hard times. Times are as
bad in every gold standard country in
the world as they are in the United
States, because prices are falling in every
gold standard country to conform to the
diminished volume of money. Times are
good in every silver standard country be
cause prices are not falling. Tariff leg
islation in this country cannot make fall
ing prices and hard times all over Europe
but contraction to ihe goid standard can
and does. The same cause produces like
effects wherever gold is the only money
of ultimate redemption or payment. The
attempt to relieve the universal distress
in all gold standard countries by tinker
ing with the tariff in the United States is
