NO LONGER.
Tho Farmer, the Mechanic and the Wage
Enrner Are Thinking and the POlitici ian
IL Rapidly I.Osing His Infiuencc-Thc
Sherman Law.


The farmer, the mechanic. and the
wage-earner have become dissatisfied
with their condition. \ spirit OF dis
content has pervaded tn. industrial
classes Of our nation. To-day the com
mon people are inquirinG into the
cause of the ills which are now Ieset-
ting them on every side. The discus
sion of politics, no longer the diversion
of select class. is now engaging the
thoughts of the common people, the
farmers and the labOr.rs Of the Cnittu
States.
The politician is rapidly losing hi.
influence over the minds and votes OF
the people, and votes of tine people,
and ere long will be an unknown fac
tor in the affairs of $ ate. The science
of government is becoming the study
Of the masses. Tho street corners and
the huotings are vying with the hall,
of Congress, and many pet theory Of
the fossils is daily exploded by the elo-
quencc and logic of reform. The cX
rcrience of hundred years OF r"pub-
lican government has taught the
MASSES to prize the blessings of liberty
AMI to defend them against all enc
mics. BY II resources of nature and an
unusual development OF tn. genius of
u free people. the nation has accom-
plishcd prodiguous task. The love
Of liberty has enshrined in the hearts
of American citizens the most perfect
devotion to the republic. But is the
republic to-day what it was century
ago? DO We adore the government as
it is to-day? Retrospectivcly, We see
the king. the nligarch. and the ariso-
rrat in all their glory, and We study
the cause which impclleI our fore
the church, and the nobility. We
pause to inquire. why did the common
people rise up against the regime of
those days? The oppression of the
masses by the classes caused the rebel
lion which made America free.
The pioneers of America were fugi-
tivcs from that oppression. Our fore
fathers fled the tyrannies OF title and
the wrongs of oppression. Hence, the
Puritans of Massachusetts, the Cava
liers of Virginia, the Catholics of Mary
land, and even the Dutch Luthcrans
of New York, were revolUtionists.
Whenever we search for the cause
which drove the colonist away from the
mother country, the oppression Of the
many by IL few is invariably the result
of the investigation. \ love of liberty
blessed liberty was the impelling
force which led to the settlement OF
North America.
Though in the days of our revolu-
tionary sires We were free, to-day We
are essentially enslaveI by al oligar
chy. IL moneyed nristocracy. as were
our forefathers while under the scepter
Of an English king. To realization
of this fact the people of these United
States are fully aroused. They are
thinking, reading, and investigating
rs they have never done since the rev.
olutionary period. All not blinded by
partisan prejudice realize the situa
ton. Like the revolutionary sires the
common people have sworn to endure
the oppression no longer; and soon re-
lief will come.

dominated by the money and credit
centers, and whenever this bubble Of
manufactured clamor is pierced by the
cold steel of fact, the genuine popular
sentiment will come to the front in
form that would be dangerous to re-
sist. The people. the masses, are not
opposed to the oldtime money Of their
fathers, and none but the salary
drawers and interest-suckers believe
there is too much money in circula-

Speaker Crisp's speech at the cen

corner stone of popular government in
this country was bright and interest
ing. The following are some of his
encouraging figures:
Nv hen the cornerstone o. this great
Capitol was laid our Constitution WAS

people had barely reached the expert
mental stage. There Were but fifteen
states in the Union. Our population

amazed that HE masses should be SO
silly AS to call it republic: .Shall the
lcoplc never learn to distinguish be-
tween the name and the reality?
Shall they never know truly know
that this country belongs to the com
mon people, given them as an inheri-
tHnce 10y the revolutionary sires? Shall
they never learn 20 value their liberty
ut it's true worth? Just such speeches
as that of Mr.. Crisp have been hurled
at the people for the last sixty years.
National pride, national growth, nn-
tional wealth, has lullcl the people,
while the successful plumbers of our
nation have desnoilcl the republic.

Last week the hat-there-are-left
Democrats held their convention to
nominate candidates for the state cleo
ton III November The contest was
between the goldbug Democrats led by
Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary of Agricult
ure, J. Sterling Morton, and the free
silver Democrats, led by Congressman
Bryan. Morton had two-tlir,ls of the
delegates and Bryan one-third. Nor
ton telegraphed Cleveland that he had
sat down heavy on Bryan, nnl the
resolutions We're of the most ultra gold
standard kind. AS result Bryan had
done the only thing left for him to do.
He has denounced the resolutions, re-
.nounceu that kind of Democracy, and
will cast his future with the Populists.
This is sure to take at least 10, 900 of
the $4,000 votes cast last November for
Cleveland over to the Populist camp.
There is also the utmost disgust among
the Republicans over the situation and
thousands are leaving that party.
From the present outlook the POpulist
vote in November will not be less than
100, 900, and the administration Demo-
Gratis will be practically wiped ont,

delegation will he Populist. Indian
