farmers will have time for reading aud
study ana for social intercourse and
Interchange of ideas with their neigh
bOrs. Every farmer should not only
employ his leisure time during the
winter season in the study of the prin-
cipies Of his business, and whatever
improvements have been made III
methods dusiug the year, but he should
also Investigate the economic problems
that so closely relate to his welfare,
aud which are BOW irresisLibly forcing
popular recognition aud discussion. IL
is to the interest Of every farmer and /
ltbOIer, regardless Of his politics, that .
"a correct solution Of these questions |
should be r-ached by the people OF the /
United States, and tile only way such /
"a result can be attained is by open, /
fair and candid Investigation and dis |
| cussion.
Now that the excitement of "a politi- |
cal campaign is over, the time has ar
rived for "a careful and uuprejudiced
Investigation of the real vital questions
Lhat are now in issues and nust be
! solved Tile sham issues which poll
( uicians used TO divert the attention Ui
tile people during the campaign viii he
/ heard Of no mo,e now that their pur-
! pose has been served aud tie people viii
be left lee to pursue T. cir examination
uudistracted by their presence. Every
populist who is enlisted in the cause
of reform for the war, should make
himself an active factor in the work
of such Investigation and discussion.
He should provide himself with plenty
of reform literature, and distribute il
as generally US possible in his neigh
OOIhOOd, and induce his neighbUrs To
take up for themselves tue study Ui
these questions.
The formation of the peoples party
is result of agitation ana discussion.
and 1t can only increase in power and
Rumbers by cansEnt and uuremlttiug
persistence ia the same methods
that brought it into existence.
The republican party of this state
increased its voting strength during
the last two years mt by reclaImmg
t former members of the party, but by
d Ru accession OF new vders from the
: st. There is likely to be IA large
addition 10 the voting population o.
this at.to during the next tWU Years
Ii - safe To Say that nilIt- tenths OF
Tie voters that arrive will be either
l republicans or democrats, and if no
effort is nude 70 influence their opin-
Ious by pOpuIists they will doubtless
e continue to vote with the party tn
@ which they belong ia the east, so that
r, the democratic and republican parties
b will bUtL increase faster than the pe0-
s pies party 10y the mere i'-1tJase Of the
d population of the st,5te 'Ehis gain OF
s the old PARTIES must be offset by 1t
~ change OF the opinions Of Il large mum
>, bor Of rcpubu ;an and democratic
.. voters OF the peoples party will soon
Pc oe la a hopeless minority. In oJhei
l. words, the old parties viii gain in
n strength through the force OF -circlun-
p stances, without any effort on then
S, p srt to make converts. The peoples
party cHn only hold its present position
by constant gain OF new members
from tho old parties through agituiio
and discussion. So that il behooves

5 aud enter the tight with determination
j. and vim. We cannot depend ou, noI
sr expect democratic assistance in this
II state hereafter. The democratic party
IS is intact in this state and thoroughly
" organized, and a desperate effort viii
e be mIde by that organization. We pre-
80 diet, to absorb the peoples party
u This, we believe, cannot lie done, hg

ia looked.
C We have not the slightest hope tina
u the national democratic party will ever
Is endorse or supp.,Ft the vital reform,
t. chat are demanded by the people
l. party, and tile state organization mus
g. necessarily be in accord sooner or late
At with the HatiORsl, thus viii they Bl
i placed ia direct autitgonisna - the poo

If of tile two old parties will swallow
l. what is left Of the other, is a matter o
1t speculation, and beyond our ken a
u present
'e There is but one course for the peo
