very StfOn8iy THAT the peoples party
was Farmers union party by say
ing that the union within itself
could not elect officers you seem to
be ignorant of the fact that their
lisa colord organization who consti-
tute the majority of the republican
voters in the state who are only
waiting for an opportunity to SUP
port the peoples party besides their
is hundreds of Farmers who do not
belong to any organization are adj
vocating the peoples party because
it is q party of reform advo-
eating measurs that will protect
the agricultural interest. had it not
been for those 70 delegates laying
down their colors at the state union
and sailing of with the anti lottery
wing of tho democratic party /
would have had no fears as to the
success of the peoples party. Mr.
Editor ] can tell you that the farm
ers of this country are getting tired
of those plutocratic combinations
riding in their chariots and having
the farmers to haul them wherever
they choose to 60, it is getting to
be hard matter to work demo-
cratic harness-upon q peoples party
horse about the time they began
to think they have got him har-
messed he viii blaze away and kick
the whole business from HI to
breakfast when / say democratic
harness mean the kind of harness
the democratic party has been USE
ing for the last twenty five years.
Mr. Editor you very kindly reques-
ted me to compare democratic prin-
cipals to that of the Ocala plat
form perhaps it viii be q consoling
though when l tell You we have no
fight to make against the pure JEFF
fersonian democratic party for the
platform of the peoples party is
based conclusively upon the same
principals and will say without fear
of contradiction that the peoples
party advocates are the only true
Jeffersonian democrats now in
america for the platform proposes
to give equal rights to all and speci-
al favors to none absolutely ignore
ing the national banking sistem re-
duce the value of money by in
creasing the volume of currency
thereby giving the farmer cost Of
production of cotton and other COM
modities and allowing them to own
the wealth that trey produce, you
know the scarcity of money has
increased it's value and money being
a commodity that inevitable gov
erns and fixes tho price Of Gotten
under the present sistem it takes
three times as much cotton to buy
a dollar as it did Is years ago say
is this undemocratic:, Mr. Editor
under the administration of thomas
jefferson was the national banking
sistem endorsed and was their any
plan devised by which few men
was allowed to manipulate tLs
