In view of the fact that there is an effort being made to change the route of the people's party, it is well to reprint the following, a copy of the original document which I hold: rt -ono Wall Street, New York, March 21, 1S9J. Developments abroad this week have been quite as important as those at home. The appointment of a receiver for the bankrupt speculative banking house of MJJm ets ends a long agony among capitalists, and is a long step toward the tmai liquidation of England's latest financial folly. The continental crises which has long been pending seems to be at hand.

The failure of a leading banking house at St Petersburg a few days ago, the suspension of a Paris bank today, more intense financial distrust in Spain and Portugal, and the political complications at Berlin, all point unmistakably to a climax of the wretched condition of financial and political affairs that has existed upon the continent for years. It is not to be wondered at that the American market, no matter how sound ana healthy it may be, should stand still in the face of these events, and of others of which they are the precursors. ttw1i tiovinrr roi Wprl ifsplf of a surfeit of securities by extensive sales of its -f certainly threw a light on it that made it very plain and not at all what I would have supposed it, if I should take the passages literally.

Washington, Jan. 30 A most tremendous sensation was created in the senate by the speech of Senator Tillman on the pending bond bill. Such a torrent of seldom been heard in the senate as that in Mr. Tillman's speech.

The galleries filled quickly and the senator was accorded close attention. He moved from his rear seat to one in the front row immediately in front of the presiding officer. Although provided with manuscript he began extemporaneously. The senator said he would use plain English, the language of the common people, for he was one of them. He spoke bitterly of the essay reading indulged in by senators.

He referred to the statement of the" senator from Ohio (Sherman) that the A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH. Mr. C. W. Dean, at present of this city, a man of very humble means, but of wide range of learning, has the most peculiar yet charming theory of the universe I have ever met.

His theory or phi that the Powers that Be have been training him for twelve years, but not until a few months ago was he given any idea of what time the change was to occur. He has the entire form of instructions to every officer, superintendent, foremen and workmen, all the details of all work, for the establishment of the new order of things, how buildings shall be erected in all details, how food, clothing and amusements shall be created, and used, the price every article shall be sold at and the wages of the people, and officers. There is to be but one government. By the way, there is but little difference in wages from highest to lowest, but there is some. "Women have an equality with men in all things, and one-half the highest officials must be women.

A romance could be written on the theory more taking than Bellamy's Looking Backward, but Mr. Dean says the people are to have the reality and they can't prevent it if they would. He is certainly the most peculiar man I ever met. He says he is ordered by the Powers silver question had been thrashed out. "Yes it had been thrashed out by the speculators, but not by the farmers." As a farmer he would thrash it again; taking up the whole subject on a pitchfork, if need be, to uncover the manure likely to be found.

The processes of beginning of each, why the sizes, shapes and colors, why some animals have hair and its fineness, why others have feathers; why men are white, yellow, red, brown and black; why the sexes and from whence, why some have light, red, black or kinky hair; what the thing termed "life" is; its destiny; why the world whirls in a way that makes it impossible to have years of the same length, but there needs must be leap years and ovon that, ill not. hrinor it out even: what the stars holdings of Americans, and by so doing has filled her bank vaults with American gold is in a position to take care of its holdings of Argentine securities, for which there is practically no market at present. 0 English bankers, brokers and investors certainly will not Jouch the continental securities unless they should fall in value to such figures that" might tempt bargain- hunters, for all of those securities have been tabooed in the London market, and will fe continue to be until capitalists determine whether or not to bring on a general war IM between European nations. It is reasonable to assume, therefore, that the minor 0 and local financial troubles of the continent will be limited to those who are locally responsible for them that is asfar as the misfortunes of any nation can be confined 5o within its own territory.

Out of all disorder a better and sounder condition of affairs will be developed by the imperialism of capital, but the process of reaching that basis will inevitably be slow, tedious and costly. A gold basis for money circulation must first be accom- plished. We must proceed with caution and guard well every move made, for the lowest orders of the people are already showing signs of restless commotion. Prudence will therefore dictate a policy of apparent yielding to the popular lh will, until all of our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized resistance. fai The Farmer's Alliance and Knights of Labor organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps Etfj to either control these organizations in our interest or to disrupt them.

At the coming Omaha convention, to be held July 4, our men must attend and 4 direct its movements, else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs fi as may require force to overcome. This, at the present time, would be premature; we are not yet ready for such a crisis. gj Capital must protect itself in every possible manner, through combination and legislation. The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mort- gages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through process of law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of imperial wealth under the control of lead- ing financiers.

cr A people without homes will not quarrel with their rulers. History repeats itself in regular cycles, this truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capital to govern the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a condition o.f political antagonism. The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the democratic party. And the question of protection, with reciprocity, must be forced to public view through the republican party.

By thus dividing the voters we can get them to expend their energies in fighting each other over questions of no importance to us, except as tethers to lead the com- W.

J. A. Wayland. "If the secret history of the year 1892 shall ever be written, it will disclose the fact, which cannot be proven now, but of which I have not the slightest doubt, that fhe gold ring of New York, which embraces nearly all the bankers in the eastern and middle states and the stock gamblers of Wall street, ntrolled the presidential nominations of both the democratic and republican parties and had an understanding with the managers, or THE WAGES PER DAY. A writer wants to know how a New Order can give $6 to $10 per day for labor when the laborer's income is now only about $200 per year.

Well, if the laborers now eet $200 a year, they are en partment of life, counting a grain of sand as life. He says that about 100 years before the Christian era the Powers that Be directed that certain laws be observed for about 2,000 years or a cyle, and the sign of that law is the angle and irregular motion or wobbling of the earth's poles, and that during that time everything on the earth should be made to conform to that wobble meaning that the affairs in nature should go at cross purposes, and that the affairs of men from the greatest to the smallest minutia Bhould be a continual cross or worry. Previous to that time the earth's axis had been perpendicular. That this worry and agitation was necessary to refine certain matter of which all things are, and produce a better race of people, as well as animals, woods, fiuits, etc. During this period the Powers that Be would not make themselves manifest to man, as it had to titled to have added to that all the income of every- with both the candidates themselves, regard to body else who does no useful labor.

Whether the scheme was agreed to by the president in person or not, and whether he bound himself in plain terms or not, will perhaps never be known.

Sir Archibald Allison, in his history of Europe, says: 'The suspension of specie payments by the Bank of England in 1797 the use of an enormous amount of irredeemable paper money.

"Agriculture, manufactures and commerce increased in unparalleled ratio. "The landed proprietors were in affluence. "Wealth to an unheard of extent was created among the farmers. 'Our exports, imports and tonnage more than doubled and the condition of the people was one of extraordinary prosperity. "From 1797 to 1819 no financial embarrassments of any moment were experienced, and in vain Napoleon waited for the stoppage of England's financial resources.

"But the resumption of specie payments in 1810 the change of the financial system from legal tender paper to metal money was ruinous to all the industries of England.
