heVOluIlOu is reform zoo long de-

mittee spent 5000, 900, and left I'M
paid debts to the tune of $50,
The Democrats spent $1,000. 900 and

Banner, Ozark, Ala.
The recent finding of the United
States supreme court that call
grants by legislatures are revocable
at the will Of the grantor," greatly
simplifies the question of reaching
government ownership of railroads.
There's millions in it. Think it
over.-Topeka Populist.
If you want to get an idea of the
magnitude of the Populist victory
won November S, get on a horse in
Southeastern Kansas and take al
most a Decline course for the
northern limits of Idaho. You can
stay on soil won by Populists all the
way, but you will have travelled
over $500 miles in getting to the
other end of this Populist victory,
and won't touch North Dakota and
Nevada. When it comes to terri
tory, we beat the Repu blicans "all
out o. boiler. st. Louis Monitor.
A great many Repu blican papers,
since the election, h ave found out
that the country needs more money.
Since the Republican party is in ia
vor of a single gold standard and
opposed to fat money, these papers
would crafty the curiosity of an in
curing public by making it clear
just how they propose to increase
the circulating medium. Let US
have the plan, gentlemen.-Topeka
(Kan.) Advocate.
The Tribune stands for the public
ownership of railroads., telegraphs
and telephones; the issue of all cur
rency by the government and the
establishment of postal savings
banks and a graduated income tax.
In municipalities, water, light and
street railways should be operated
by the people. Every feature of
government and every law which
shuts out the people from their in
alienable rights should be swept
away without ceremony.-Iowa
Tribune.
Now that the heat and passions
of the elections are over, it is the
duty of every Peoples party man to
agitate and educate for the future
prosperity and reform movement.
Any words of reconciliation
that the Democrats offer, give
them a#d deaf ear, and be guided only
by those principles that give equal
and exact rights to all, and special
privileges to none Let your motto
be "Agitate and Educate. "-Farm-
ers' Light (Harlem, Ga.)
Money monopoly, railroad monop-
oily, liquor monopoly, telegraph
monopoly, Standard oil monopoly,
coal monopoly. These six tyrants
crowned head in Europe, including
the car of all the Russias. The
greatest of these tyrants is the
money trust. All the others pay
tribute to this power and freely &C
knowledge its supremacy over
them. They willingly remain de-
Tendencies of the monarch of the
golden sceptre, which sells them in
dulgences to rob with impunity the
great American people.-Midland
Journal, Rising Sun, Md.
"Why do they cry for bread?"
asked the dainty French princess
as the starving mob shouted and
clamored in the courtyard of Yer
sailles. eff they have no bread why
don't they eat cake9" And the pretty
princess was not fool beyond
other TOOLS "Why are not the poor
thrifty, virtuous and temperare9" is
but another form of the same ques-
ton continually asked by other
fools. Thrift, virtue and temper
ance are not the natural sponta-
neous fruits of poverty. The answer
to the question of the pretty prin-
cess was written in the blood of the
reign of terror. Will not one French
revolution suffice?-Deadwood IS.
