The Fight Betweer" Them Continues —What Does 1t Mean ? On Saturday morning the fight of the night before in the Populist conven" tion was continued. Mr. Butler with” drew the name ot Walser for Attorney General, and this office together one elector at large, and one Justice of the hands of the executive committee. with Supreme Court. was leit in the Mr. Caldwell then came forward and proposed the following as an executive committee.’ A. S. Peaace, fal W. Ayer, John Graham, J. K. Pigford, J, B. Lloyd and S. Otho Wilson. Then came the sharpest contention of the convention, Coil. Skinner arose and said : “] want to analyze the situation, Why the complexion of such as that named by Mr. Caldweil? There are three men there who mean one man. Why is Dr. Thompson, or myself, left from the ticket? Why? Because I have dared to faca Maricn Butler and tell him when he’s wrong. You are going to do it because it is his wish, and he wants to retire from the Popu- list party every man of influence. The central committee should be represen- tativeand men should not be named who are absolutely under the control of ope man.” M said : r. Butler then came forward and “Last night I sat on this platform and heard insizuations’ regarding my integrity that I would not have stood from any man except for the good ot the Populist party. Now I am ready to compare character with any man in this convention. If nct that, then ‘pithets, ifhe wishes. Let me recall a few things. When you asked me to take your banner, I made up my mind that no slurs, no charges, no rotten eggs would make me loss my head. But when these charges come trom the back and from those who should be my friends, it hurts ten thousand fold more. I put my record beside that of any man, I think I have done my duty, and_ will coulinue to do it.” He read the names proposed by Cald- well and said:,when a man said three of those men were puppets, he states what is not true !” I regrettea to say that, but either I had to say this, or every gentlemen named here weuld have to arise ard denounce the statement. I have never had to use such language befere. Bui [say it now and I have nothing to take back.” Col. Skinner replied as follows : “If Senator Butler means to say or would dare to say that I told an un. truth about anything, anywhere at avy time, we would have a quick and anoth- er day of meeting. The time has come, when, having in- trusted all to him, we must inquire if Senator Butler is asafe party leader I say he isa party wrecker. At St. Louis he tried to turn over and deliver that convention to the Democrats. Look at his record in the State. Let us look at this committee. Have you any doubt how Ual. Ayer, editor of Butlec’s paper, the Caucasian, will vote in that committee? Have you any idea how Jim Lloyd, who holds i, itiva in the Senate, given him by Marion Butler, will vote’ Have you any idea how J. K. Pigford, of Samson, Butler’s devoted disciple, will vote? Don’t you think that will fill Butler’s wants? Will not that committee d> Butler’s bidding ? ‘Lhe time has come when we should know how much power we have put into the hands of this one man. Does this putting of the affairs of the conven- tion inthe hands of the committee mean electoral fusion with Democrats / I want to say that it means what But- ler wants, whatever that is. Aud now Iam going to make a mio- tion ty nominate. this whole committee rot Butler’s by accle mation.” ” John Graham withdrew atid Cy Thompsen was elected in his place. Hal LW.

EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW. semen eer Income Tax and free Coinags, [coNTINUED FROM LAST ISSUE] THE INCOME TAX. “The Chicago platform has been condemned by some because it dissents from an opinion rendered by the Su- preme Court declaring the income tax unconstitutional. Our critics even go so far as to apply the name anarchist 6 those who stand upon that plank of the platform. It must be remembered tat we expréssly recognize the binding force of that decision so long as it stauds asa part ofthe law of the land. There is in the pla.form no suggestion of an attempt to dispute the authority of the Supreme Court. The party is simply pledged to use all the constitutional power which remains after tnat decision or which may come from its reversal by the court as it. may hereafter be constituted. Is there any disloyalty in that pledge? For a hundred years the Supreme Court of the United States has sustained the principle which underlies -the income tax. Some twenty years ago this same court sus— tained without dissenting voice an income tax law almost identical with the one recently overthrown. Has not a fulture court as much right to return to the judical precedents of a century as the presert court had to depart from them? When courts allow rehearings they admit that error is possible. The late decision against the income tax was rendered by a majority of one after a rehearing. | “While the money question over- shadows all other questions in impor- tance, I desire it distinctly understood that I shall offer no apology for the) _ income tax plank of the Chicago plat- form, The last income tax law sought to apportion the burdens of government, more equitably among those. who enjoy | the protectiorof the government. At ( government, collected through internal | cates of the expenses of the Federal] | simply en an indirect means of transferm one man’s property to another man’s pocket, atid while the process may, be quite satisfactory to the men who €fe rly sepetgeen Swe, POET isfactory to those who are overburdene emption provisions, when considered in connection with other methods of tax- ation in force, was not unjust to the possessors of incomes, becarse they were compelled to pay a total Federal tax greater than their share. The in- come tax is not new, nor is it based upon hostility to the rich. The system is employed in several of the most important nations of Europe, and every income tax law now upon’ the — statute books in any land, so far as I have been able to ascertain, contains an ex- emption clause. The collect‘on of an income tax in other countries does not. make it necessarv for this nation to adopt the suggestion, but suggests the moral language of those who denounce the income tax as an assault on the well-to-do. Pa] » “Not only shall I refuse to apologize for the advocacy of an incomé tax law by the National Conyention, but I snall also refuse to apologize for tue exercise by it of the right to dissent from a de- cision of the Supreme Court. In a government like ours every public of- ficial is a public servant, whether he holds office by election or by appoint- ment; whether he serves fora term of years or during good behavoir, and the people have a right to criticise his ot- ficial acts. Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism ; free govern- ment exists in jealously and not in,con- fidence’—these are the words of ‘Thom- as Jefferson, and I submit that they present a truer conception of popular government than is entertained by tiose who would prohibit an unfavor- able comment upon a court decision. Truth wil! vindicate itself; only error who conscientiously discharges his duty as he sees it will desire to deny to those whom he serves the right to discuss his official conduct. MONEY THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION, ‘Now let me ask you to consider the paramount question of the campaign— the money question, It is scarcely necessary to defend the principle of bimetallism. No national party during the entire history of the United States has ever declared against it, and no par- ty this campaign has had the temerity to oppose it. Three parties—the Dem- ocratic, Populist, and Silver Parties — have not only declared for bimetallisr:, but have outline] their specific legisla— tion necessary to restore silver to ils ancient position by the side of gold. The Republican platform expressly declares that bimetallism is desirable when itipledges the Republican Party to aid in securing it a3 soon as the as- sistance of certain foreign nations can be obtained. the minority sentiment in the Chicago Convention opposed the free coinage of silver by the United States by indepen- dent action on the ground that, in their judgment, it ‘would retard or en- tirely prevent the establishment of inter- national bimetallism, to which the ef- forts of the government should be steadily directed.’ When they asserted that the efforts of the government should be steadily directed toward the Thos? who represented estaolishment of international bimetal- lism, they condemned monometallism. The gold standard has been weighed in the balance and feund wanting Take from it the powerful support of the money-owning and the money- changing classes, and it cannot stand for one day ln any nation in the world, It was fastened upon the United States without discussion before the people, and its friends have never yet been willing to risk a verdict befor: the vo- ters upon that issue. : «There can be no sympathy or cu- ération, beween. the ,adtocates of a * diniversal gold standard and- the advo. bimetallism. Between bimet- ite idenbnetacomiag ntoabcte oly omar by th cape just taxation it can never be sat- oo they still insist that gold is the only d.} metal suitable for standard money The last income tax law, with its ex-|among civilized nations’ It they are, fears free speech.

If, on the other hand, they are bending their energies toward the permanent establishment gold standard, under cover of a declara- tion in favor of international bimetal— lism, I am justified ia suggesting that honect moneyrannot be expected at the hands of those who deal dishonestly with the American people.
