pressors, but the 100 are effected
by the very same laws that effect
the l. Therefore the only reason
that we can see for calling the 100
oppressors is because the 100 do
not bow to and grant uncondition-
tally the demands of the l.
A little further down he says,
"What guarantee have tce that the
Democratic party will give us the
political reform demanded by the
masses of the people" We are
sorry to disappoint Mr. Burns, but
we are forced to sayEthat the Pop
ulits have not even the slightest
guarantee that they will get the
political reform they demand.
Why? Because the last election
speaks in tones far louder than it
is within our power to proclaim
that the Populist party does not
represent the masses" of the peo-
pie, but that the Democratic par
ty is the true representative of the
MASSES as that party was sup
ported by an overwhelming major
ity at the last election. Notwith-
standing the jauuts and slurs and
false accusati ms Of the Populists
party, and the terrible army Of
republicans with which it had 10
battle, yet the masses Of the peo-
pie" with the exception of dissat-
isfed few, rallied to the support Of
the Democratic party and gave it
such a glorious victory as has not
been witnessed in % years. Yea
it may be truthfully said, such a
victory as has never been known
before in the history of the United
States. Then upon what basis
docs the Populist party claim to
be the representatives. of the masses
of the people? Yet little fur
ther on he says, eff shy measures
Of relief are granted it will be for
the sake of policy or under pres
ure." Yes, Bro Burns is right here.
The Democratic party will doubt
less grant measures of relief
through policy of pleasing the
great masses of people that sup
ported that party, and ''meas-
ures of relief will be granted sun
der pressure" of its own tremen-
dous weight. But from the man.
ner in which Bro. Burns used the
expression through policy or I'M
der pressure" we imagine that
he meant through policy of pleas
ing the Populist or under the pres
sure of that party. Ifthis is what
is meant Bro. Burns might gain a
thought or two by meditating upon
the fable of "the gnat on the bulls
horn"
If Bro. Burns has anything else
to say on this subject we shall be
pleased to furnish space.

are afraid of both agricultural and

To this end it will perhaps be

the one hand against speculative
gambling on the other That pro
