Isee great deal in the papers shout
fusloA with old parties on nominations
for dAserent officers. in different states
do notassert that this idea of fusion
seems to be at all popular, burt its Dis
cussloni tends to weaken the position Of
the new movement.
This peoples movement has been GO
ing ON ever since Peter Cooper's, time in
1876, in various for1ns, and we have OK
perimented with fusion until we ought
to be satisfied that we can never win By
that policy: Ninety-nine out of every
hundred officers elected by fusion with
either of the old parties, as soon as
elected have gone into their old party
caucus and worked to strengthen that
party. This has deferred the reform
movement until the people have become
thoroughly Disguised.
Many good and honest voters in both.

Refuses the Bait.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
The following resolution was
adopted by the Bear PARK Farmers
Alliance No. 626, Norman Co. Mimi,
at their meeting held on the End day
of April 1892, in the town hall.
Whereas, it has come to GU, knowl-
edge, that the old republican party
intends to put up Hon. Knute Nelson
as candidate for governor of this
state, not because he is the best man.
but because he is thought the strong
est man. especially among the Scan
dinavian alliance men in Northern
Minnesota, we the members of ALI
ance No. 626, which is compose solely
of Scandinavians, hereby refuse to
accept such bait. We consider our
selves American citizens, and not
voting cattle, and will vote for a
man, who stands firmly on our plat
form, Notwithstanding his name,
may not be K. Nelson or John Lind.
1t was further resolved to publish
this resolution in the GREAT WEST,

The Cause of Hard Times,

No one will deny that hard times are
the result of vicious laws. No man can
earn one hundred thousand dollars dur
ing life time. Seventy years is a very
long life, but suppose man should live to
that age, and earn one dollar and fifty
cents, six days in each week, more than
he consumed, (which is an impossibility)
at the end of seventy years he would
have s22, 1866, or s77,635 less than $780,
900. Hence there must be something
wrong when men accumulate 100000
or 100000 during twenty or thirty
years. How is it done is the question.
The answer is, by laws granting pat
ents, charters, subsidies, protection to
certain industries, ETC., that take from
the people their earnings, and transfer
them to the benefciaries of these laws.
AS a result we have millionaires and
tramps, when if just laws obtained such
conditions could not prevail; hence the
necessity of equitable laws.-Southern
Mercury.

Grasp.
The possibilities of this present cam
paign are but family realized by far too
many Of our people. From this position
we look over the whole field and see so
much to encourage that we wonder that
anyone can be apathetic. The people
are restless and dissatisfied. They are
casting about for relief. They grasp at
the best thing they can see The old
parties are alert, and are far more con-
cerned to keep kown the new party
than to defeat each other. If they keep
us down they can divide the spoils.
Their differences are SO small thew can
be settled at any time in presence of
great danger:
Our first objective point is to elect a
president, or falling in that to determine
who shall be elected It requires 222
votes in the electoral college to secure
the president. This ball is moving so
rapidly it is hard to tell when it will

agreed unanimously on a platform Of
demands which they want carried into
legislation. They say they want only
such men nominated from president
down to pathmaster; as will not only
favor the adoption Of these demands in
to legislative enactments, but will faith
fully execute the laws when enacted in
the interest of the people,
To insure the election of such men.
we must nominate only those who be-
ieve in the justice of such laws, and on
a straight out peoples ticket. BY this
means giving the great mass of voters
in both democratic and republican par
ties, who are sufferers from our present
system and who have become thorough
ly convinced that neither of the old par
ties will do anything for them, to pair
off and vote with us for the peoples,
candidates for every office.
A large majority of the voters in both
old parties to-day acknowledge that
there is no difference between the two
old parties, as far as their interests are
concerned, and are ready to go with us
if we give them a chance to do so with
out strengthening their old political
enemy, but the moment you enter into
fusion with either party this becomes
impossible.
Let us have straight work and a
strong united pull this year, national,
state, congressional and county, for
principle and the people will be with
us, and we shall surely win.
The lAboring people of the towns and
cities, who are working short time and
low wages, are with us and will vote
with us if we are true to the demands
they helped to formulate at st. Louis.
Both the democratic and republican
parties have been powerful enough in
the last thirty years to have enacted the
laws we demand, if they had the hon.
esty and courage to do SO, but no sooner
are they in office than the dictates of
Wall street and corporations have been
their only guide. If we deserve a bet
ter condition than they have given us
we will strike the blow that will retire
to private life the men who have mis-
represented so long the interests of the
people by voting only for the candidates
who are not only educated to these de-
mands but are sworn to be true to
them.
I do hope there will be no attempt at
fusion for any Office in the gift of the
people this year, but let us mass all the
reform elements to win.-I. E. Dean

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
l see that you favor Mr.. Owen for a
place on the peoples party ticket. As
our material for state officers is rath-
er limited, having only 10000 to
choose from, l would like to suggest
a few names that you might push for
places of trust as public officers for
the peoples party convention to en-
dorse along with Mr.. Owen. You
may think that l am rather cheeky
and have the big head, but you see
we must look out for our friends.
How would this ticket strike you:
Governor-Me and Mike.
Lieut.. Governor-J. B. Ho1npe.
Private Secretary--A. Warren.
Executive Clerk Editor Henning
Advocate.
Executive Stenographer-The late
Eva Mcdonald.
Secretary OF State-Geo. W. Haigh.
State Treasurer-S. M. Owen.
State Auditor W. Sprague.
Attorney General-Eric Olson.
State Supt.-W. J. Wikersheim.
For Congressman All anti Sub
treasury men with Jim Baker TO lead
them.
If the rest of the ticket is filed out
with equally good men I hope that
you will approve the batch and ]
think that you will have no trouble
to elect them. If you will come out
strong for the Owens, Hompes, War
rens, Spragues, Olsons, ETC., I don't
see why the old parties should not
divide their funds with you.
Possibly l shall hear something

our friends any way-so let 'er drap

chains of solid party supremacy. In
Louisiana there are five parties in the
field. Surely out of this break up the
distressed people should have great con-
fidence of success. In Georgia, the Car
olinas, and indeed all the southern
states, the revolution carries dismay
among the enemy. So in the republican
states Of the northwest. In presiden-
tial contest our vote rs not lost if we do
not gain the full prize. Every vote
taken from each of the old parties weak
ems both Of them, and a failure to elect
at the polls gives us the field in the next
campaign. To throw the election into
the house OF representatives may give it
to the democrats, but this is the begin
ming of the end.
The next point to have in view is the
representation in congress. Carefully
look your district over and push for
success. See what handful of grand
men are doing now. They have turned
congress upside down. They cannot
make laws, but they can break up the
other fellows Let us reinforce them.
1t can be done. Get your congressional
nominations in shape. We can capture
good many state Offices. Push for
this with hearty good will. The men,
bers of the state legislatures belong to
the farmers. Look to this closely. Put
tried and true men in nomination Do
not be too modest and decline to 90.
Pick out clean, sensible, well-reputed
men, used to labor, and nominate them.

ways and unpublished speech. Every
where they have tried this they have
lost ground by it. Ridicule won't carry
half as many votes as the cry of distress
will Then plan carefully for the county
offices. Here is both strength and
weakness. Carry the counties and you
will carry the nation.
Here is work for YOU How shall it
be done? At once organize your pre-
cinct. Get the best working committee
possible. Organize peoples party
club. Then poll your precinct. This
is bed rock to build upon. In everv
country precinct in one week you can
tell just where you stand. Write down
the name of every pronounced party
man. Be especially careful to list the
doubtful men. Every precinct commit
teeman must send copy of this list to
the chairman of the county committee.
This is intelligent work. This is
organization. If you mean business.
put money into this campaign.
If you win it will come back
to you. If you lose, you will be so poor
this amount will make no difference in
the end. Money is needed A small
amount of money rightly used will give
you victory. Provide for local ex-
penses; provide for state expenses; pro-
vide literally for the national commit
tee Subscribe for reform papers. Do
not let the men who are fighting your
battles under heavy fire be driven to
the wall by banks and corporations and
United States courts.
This righteous cause expects that
every man will do his duty. If you do.
you are free. If you do not, slavery is
too good for ou.--Nonconformist.

John Brown Dead.

On Saturday afternoon at o'clock,
John Brown, well-known and respect
ed resident, died at his home on Centre
street, Five Points, after an illness of
about three weeks.
He was born at Lough Salt, near
Dunglow, County Donegal, Ireland, sew
enty-one years ago, and came to America
in 1S4S.
He began work here as railroader,
and followed it for five or six years, dur
ing which time he assisted in building
the Catawissa Railroad from Tamaqua to
Lofty.
In 1854 Mr.. Brown took up peddling,
and continued in this business until 1862,
when he opened hotel at Allentown,
and for several years conducted sue
cessful business.
After the war he cast his lot with the
people of this section, and was employ
ed as foreman in Con. D. Herron's cloth
ing store at Walnut and Washington
streets until the latter went out of
business.
For several years after this he kept a
saloon and did a thriving trade until he
retired and transferred the business to
Francis Brennan, the husband of his
neice.
He has since lived in private, and was
known throughout the Lehigh region as
being upright and honest in his dealings,
of a kind and generous disposition, and
good citizen in every respect.
In politics he was a staunch Democrat,
and was the candidate of his party for
director of the Middle Coal Field Poor
District in 1881, He was also an ardent
admirer of base ball, and the clubs of
town had no more earnest friend than
Mr., Brown.
The deceased leaves sister and three
brothers, one of whom is in Ireland, to
mourn his loss. The funeral takes place
tomorrow at A. NJ. Solemn requiem
mass will be read at st. AIMS church at
s o'clock, after which the remains will
be conveyed on the 9.45 train to Allen
town, where the interment will take
place.
