used Electric Bitters with most happy
results. My brother also was very low
with Malarial Fever and Jaundice, but
was cured by timely use of this medicine.
Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his
life."
Mr. d. I. Wilcoxon, of Horse Cava,

positively believes he would have died,
had it not been for Electric Bitters.

To John Donohue and Paris E.. Hyde,
Committee of Fidelity Union No.
1888:
GENTLEMEN Il have before me
rather strange proceeding of your
Subordinate Union. You start out
by denouncing myself and my esteem
ed friend, Brother u. S. Hall, for our
action and course in political affilia-
ton, in offering ourselves as candi-
dates to platform that our Declare
ton denounces. Now, my brothers,
is it fact, is it truth, that our De-
mands of tho +. & l.. T. denounce our
platform Chat is the Democratic plat
forml? II IL does not denounce the
platform then you hare certainly made
a false charge against myself and Bro.
u. :. Hall. / have before me the
Democratic platform and I find in it a
part of our demand. L will state some
of them: 1t says, "we still trust with
unfaltering faith in the principle of
the party;n what are the principles as
laid down in the platform, that you
take the liberty to speak thus our de-
mands THAT is the +. & l.. L. de-
mands2 Let us quietly look for truth
for false show will do no good. The
Democratic platform of Missouri says,
ave are opposed to class legislation,
naonopoties and trusts. Equal and Just
t0rdtiOn of all classes aDithOatt fauOr or
distinction for the mere support of the
government Are not these princi-
piles in our demands? Most assuredly
they are, you cannot deny this truth.
Look further on. 1t says, "We con-
denim the present system of tariff tax
es." Do not our demands say the
same. 1t wants the tariff taken off of
the necessaries of life and placed on
luXuries. Are not these our demands?
1t says, eve are in favor of free coin
age Of siiUer, so says our demands.
The public land, the heritage of the
people, should be held for the actual
settlers, not another acre to railroads
or spectators. Is not this one of our
demands? We favor the unearned
lands granted to railroads and corpor-
atiOns being forfeited to the govern
ment and are opposed to aliens owning
land in this government. Instead of
the f. d L. L. demands denouncing
the Democratic platform, the Demo-
cratic platform is made and formulat
ed out of the F. & l.. q. demands.
Now, my brothers, are you not sorry
for yourselves? You have had the
blind calf run over you in some way,
or else you thought to bring yourself
before the people of Missouri in a
shreeUd manner. What are you going
to do about your denunciatien? Will
you still swear your horse is sixteen
feet high? or will you come up man.
fully and withdraw your charges
against Hall and myself? Now, my
brothers, the best way is to always
knO,U achat yOu aDont to do before you
make an attempt to denounce any
hrOthlr NnnrS for tho rirbt wit n "a
request that you procure the Demo-
cratic platform and read it and then
get the F. & l.. L. demands and read
them before you make another state |
ment. You might be mistaken again. |
Read and consider sUeU.
Now. my brother, I do not expect |
you to vote anywhere else than in |
the Z. l.. party. Men that will make
such mistakes will certainly say the
horse is sixteen feet high. Yours for |
the truth, II. w. HICKMAN.

We publish the following resolu-
tions and letter as of general interest,
as we'll as illustrative of the true pos
ition of the F. & l.. Z. in reference to
political parties, as voiced by the
President of the organization. The
resolutions were passed by Fidelity
Union, No. 1888. and are as follows:
Resolved, First, That we denounce
the action and course our worthy Pres
ident III. w. hickman and State Lect-
urer L. S. Hall have taken in political
utilization, offering themselves as cam
didates to platform that our Declar-
alton of Principles denounces.
Second, That we will not support
any man for any office that will not
run on a platform that our Declaration
of Principles is based upon, believing
as we do that it is Injurious to our
cause and will finally be the down fall
and ruin of our objects and aims.
Third, We therefore pledge our
selves to vote for no candidates that
run on the Democratic or Republican
platform. Knowing as we do that
neither of the platforms is in accord
ance with our demands, knowing full
we'll that our demands were laid be-
fore both the national Repu blican and
Democratic Conventions and they
would not adopt them in their plat
forms.
Fourth, We therefore stand on the
Union Labor platform that did adopt
our demands in their platform; now
in accordance with our feeling and if
every Union in the State of Missouri
would act as we do there would be
trembling in the old party ranks in
November. We therefore ask all men,
bers everywhere that have prejudice
ground out of them till they can see
clearly, to come to the front and aid US
