CALAMITY HOWLERS.

WOODwORTH, n. @.
Mr.. EDITOR:-What is a calamity
howler? 1t is a name of reprOach plu-
tocFats. political bosses and the parti-
zan press give to all who differ
with them in opinion about the cOndl-
tiOn of the masses at the present time.
That times are hard all admit, that
panics come, PROSTATE business and
take the life out of all our industries,
is a matter of history: that tramps and
millionaires are on the increase, and
that business failures are multiplying
alarmingly none will deny, but If any
one insunuateS or attributes the causes
of these evils to the mismanagementO of
the government by the politicians in
the interest Of the plutOcrats, thereby
destroying the liberties of the people,
and making 1t government OF auto
Gratis instead of a government of by
and for the people. he Is a calamity
bowler Of the first water.
To sum up the whole ma ter, all who
believe in the Ocala platfOrm-which
is true Jeffersonian DemOcracy-an
will not support any man or party for
office who is opposed to it, is the com
plete definition of calamity hOwler in

body of men, the men who feed and
clothe the world, who have always
saved the nation in her greatest hour
of danger, whether on the battle field
or at the ballot box, while those who
ridicule them were out of the rea IN of
shot and shell making fortunes which
they are now using for the opp 'ession
Of their defenders. | defy any man or
paper TO point to as large a convention
OF delegates representing every State IN
the Union except Delaware and Rhode
Island-the smallest States in the
RepUblic-where such harmony and
unanimIiy prevailed.

Berlin riots, the writer said the police

Mr. EDITOR Your persistent efforts

independent, patriotic sheet. It's dis
cusslOn OF the financial question is
frank and free fr Jm the tainJ Of preju-
die. All that GG cGptUndunt stuff
about the great purchasing power of
money IS but a deluSiOn and snare. We
had an Illustration of this the other
day, when man who owed fifty dol
lars had his property, consisting Of a
fine young OK. heIfer Jersey with
calf, and young tat horse 5 years old,
sold to satisfy said debt. The purchas-
ing power Of money was so great that
the OK sold for 50, the cow and calf for
S., so, and the horse for $25, in all
$32. so, leaving balance due on claims
$17.50 whereas, had our financial sys-
tenn been right the man, who is very
industrious, would not have been in
deOt, and had he the co v would have
paid the debt.
am amused to see the efforts Of the
great purchasing power of money as il
Illustrated in this and other instances on
the old messy back Alliancemen who,
by neglecting to educate their children
and to respond to other calls, as mem
ber5 of society, have little money hid
away. They think they see the pint
and are learning the Alliance, and ex-
pect under this great purchasing power
of money to buy our best lands at one
dollar per acre.
There are two sides to any question,
luckily, and the other parties in this fl
n 4ncial drama are waking up, and
when this war of plumber is inaugu-
rated under the prostitution of the
forms of law, another fraternal strife
will be engendered eclipeing in vindic-
tiveness and ruin that of the last war
The times are really alarming, and no
good citizen can contemplate the dire
extremity of our country without a

leave Gno WnOl0 maGC6r TO your nanQS
and go about their business. You
must creep up on the people, like. If
you make a stick crack, their eyes are
open and their ears are up.
They are beginning to inquire what
are you calling your committee to-
gether so often for? What are you
scared about? Who is saying anything?
What Is the matter anyway? Such
inquiries they often make and there is
no one to answer and give consolation
You ought to call your committee to
gether and put forth an address. thusly:
To all men Of age and distinction,
twenty one years old and of a white
character, we come greeting. We have
several distinct propositions to make
We want your votes. What will get
them? That is the mOmentOus ques
ton. But still more distinct we want
you, body and soul. We want submis
sion. We want you to let politics
alone and then We'll let you alone If
you don't do it We'll see if we can't out
general you and whip you into submis
sion. An empire divided against itself
capnO6 stand. We are bound to be
mas ters or we'll kick up q row If
you'll submit thereu be peace; if not
We'll tear the pillars from the temple
We had rather reign i'll hell than serve
in heaven. In order that peace, love
and friendship may abound, we want
you to come to our conventions as II
you were somebody sure enough, but
be certain not to meddle with the ruI-
lngs and demands from our captains.
They sit on Wall street and PennSyl-
vanIa avenue and are wise. You hoe
corn and dig potatoes and are foolish.
This little uprising of the clOd- knockers
must be put down. The wOrkmen and
the labOrers are nice characters to die
tate the policy Of a nation, indeed.
They must be put down. This is a gov
ernment Of fine gCntry-Of the arisJOc-
racy and it is: time you should know it
Just because we como escend to invite
you ciOd knockers and mechanics to
our conventions you have become big
and want to have your own way. Now
let me tell you, submit and be at peace; ;
meddle not with politics and let there
be no strife.
CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE
That is the way to chatter Not
worth while to come with your mouth
full of meal and beg this ragged and
dirty set from the field and shop to let
politics alone Throw down the gaunt-
let, peace or war. Give them to under
stand they are invading hallowed
ground. No man can invade the fields
of piutocracy without first knowing
his loyalty thereto. Have that under
stood.
Mr.. Chairman, [ believe you will
conquer the rabbIe after awhile Make
them believe they have heap of
sense, are handsome and grand and
then come along with one Of your
schemes. First thing they know they II
be tied hand and foot and can't move,
like the spider ties the fly. If you do
not think you can work the wires on
them, send for Billy Bolden; you'll
learn lesson from him. He's been all
around in their secret meetings and
knO rs all the maneuvreS.
