Tom Watson: To my surprise few
words of mine to an alliance meeting
of my immediate neighbors, counseling
a strict adherence to our conservative
and conciliatory methods of campaign,
have been interpreted as an evidence
OF loss of faith in the future of the peo-
ple's party. Nothing could be further
from the truth. This opponent stands
now and henceforth by his colors-
proud of them today in the hour of de-
Feat as he was in the hour of success:
having patient but nnshakable belief
that the principles they represent grow
stronger every day. 1t has been claim
ed that l said if the democrats carried
out the pledges in their platform there
would be no necessity for the peoples
party. No such statement has ever
been made by me. As far back as one
year ago, pointed out, in an address
to the people, that If every demand con
tanned in the democratic platform we're
enacted into law it would still leave
the vital issues untouched"

The following letter will doubtless
be of interest to many of our readers.
Read and think carefully before you
condemn Simpsons vote on the anti
option bill, as amended by the senate.
We wanted an antl-option bull, but not
a farce under that name, mere cats
paw law:
House of Representatives, Washington d. c..
March, Is, 1893.
Mr.. J. A. Suits, Mertilla, Kansas.
DEAR SIR:-Your letter of March
18th with enclosed clipping, received;
will say in reply, that l have not time
to reply to all the lies that appear IN
the republican papers, if l attempted
it, my time would be wholly taken up
and then l wouldn't get aronnd to all
of them.
Now, In regard to my vote against
the anti-option bill, l have no explana-
tions to make to the republican party.
L voted against the bill because / be
lieve 1t was very bad legislation. 1t
was not bill to prevent the dealing in
futures, but in every respect bill to
enable few rich capitalists to get to-
gether and control the grain market of
this country. | firmly believe, if the
bill had passed, that it would come
back to have cursed every man that
voted for it; it would have worked great
injury to the farmers, because 1T would
enable the millers combine IN this
country to build one of the greatest
trusts that ever had been formed in a
country.
The trouble with the farmers is they
have been used too long and too many
times, as the cats paw to pull the
chestnuts ont of the fire, by the monop-
olists. This was another attempt on
their part.
l am willing to stand BY my vote on
that bill, knowing as do, that in the
future, when truth gets Il hearing, l
will be fully indicated.
1t is little singular, that these peo-
pie that talk about selling out to Wall
street, were the only ones represented
here by lobby. There was plenty of
money to carry the bill but none for its
defeat. Yours Truly,

The Greenlee Bill.

The g. o. p. press have been claiming
that the populists killed the Gresnlee
railroad bill because it provided for
electing the commissioners by the
people. This is about as near the truth
as they generally get. The populists
desired to substitute the maximum
freight bill. The Grsenlee bill provld-
ed no fixed rate but left their regula-
ton to the commissioners. The rates
provided for related only to car load
lots, and were beneficial only to the
large dealers of Wichita, Hutchinson
and Arkansas City, and the few who
could afford to order in Car load lots.
The bill did indeed provide for cleo
ton by the people; but the election was
to be had this fall, when state officers
and The legislature was not to be voted
on; and the corporations could throw
their entire influence into the struggle,
and swap everything locally for rail-
road commissioners. The Doodle gang.
Anthony, Mitchell, ct. al. would proba-
bly, have held the fort.
The bill was in the interest of the
corporations and not what the people
wanted or asked for. 1t should be re-
membered too that the Maximum
freight rate bill, desired by the popu-
lists, provided for the election by the
people in the fall of '9i One of the
infamous and contemplate clauses Of
the Greenlee bill provided that in
freight less than car load lots, the rail
roads should not be permitted to charge
more than double the cost of shipment
to The state line.

think was running Kansas, anyhow!

Six Big Cases.

In the United States to-day six great
cases of the deepest moment to labor
orders began. The first is that of the
engineers and firemen of the Lake
Shore, on the charge of contempt Of
count. The second is that of the re-
straining order granted by Judge Kicks
early in the struggle, and which pre-
vents connecting railroads in Toledo
from refusing to accept freight from
the Ann Arbor road and is based upon
the provisions of the interstate COM
merce law. The third is on the injunc
tion granted by Judge Taft, at Detroit,
restraining Chief Arthur and Sargent
from issuing or keeping in force any
order which they had already issued to
employees of any railroad to refuse to
accept business of the Toledo and Ann
Arbor railroad. The fourth is on the
injunction ordering Chief Arthur and
Chairman Watson, of the Lake Shore.
to rule or regulate the brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers which was the
basis for ordering the strike or boycott.
The fifth order is the restraining of
about a hundred employees of the
wheeling Il Lake Erie railroad from
refusing to accept or handle freight or
cars of the Toledo & Ann -Arbor rail-
road company. The sixth is suit for
SSOO,OOO damages, filed by Manager H.
W. Ashley, of the Ann Arbor railroad

DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT.

Cleveland Seeks to stem the Tide of Social
Democracy BY the Distribution of Few
Fat Offices.
A telegram from Washington to the
St Paul Globe says that the democrats
are giving considerable attention to
North and South Dakota They pro-
pose to strengthen the party in these
two states by the judicious use of pat
ronage. A detailed description of the
political situation in South Dakota has
been asked for by the president and
his advisers, for the purpose of bring
ing it squarely into the democratic
column two years hence. Some good
plums will be thrown to the faithful
in the Dakotas before many months
have rolled by.-Sturgis Advertiser.
Plums to the faithful! The farmers of
South Dakota and the entire west have
by their votes for Gen. Weaver, asked
for three things. They want:

dunn not less than fifty dollars per cap

interest, bonus, or rake-off, to anv ia.
vored corporations or individuals. Thew
functions of issuing money and to cease
giving it away to banks.
2. Government ownership of the great
national highways, the railroads, and
transportation at actual cost They
want the government to exercise it's
functions of providing public highways
and to cease giving them away to the
railroad corporations.
3. Reform in the country's system of
land tenure to the end that the land
which should furnish homes and farms
for the workers of the country
may be redeemed from the cor
porations and individuals who are hold
ing it, not for use, but for speculation.
They want the government to exercise
its functions of guarding the public do
main and of dividing it up among
actual home-builders, and to not ONLY
cease giving the peoples homes to spec
ulators, but to take back that which
has passed out of its possession into the
possession of these spectators.
The farmers of the west have thought
this matter over pretty seriously. Thew
are neither fooling nor joking. They
propose to preserve their homes. and
their children's homes at any cost, and
