past. There is Il kind of remedy, how
ever, at the polls. The men who were
cheated out of their votes in 1892 were
not defrauded of them for all time. but
for that election only. Their votes are
their own. They can cast them this fall
against the men who deluded them two
years ago. They can drive those per-
sons from political life and replace them
in Congress by others who will endeavor
to undo the mischief that has been done.
But there is such thing as jumping
out OF the frylng-pan into the hre. Home
of the men who were tricked by the Dem
ocrats in 1892 say they are going to vote
for Populist candidates because that par
ty tells them that what they ana the
country need is more money, that 1t VIII

the farmer will get higher prices for his
wheat and the workingman for ms laoor.
But before voting for Populists the farm
ers and the workingmen should ask what
KIND of money it is they propose to give
them. For if it be worth only half what
the present money is. then, while farmers
and others will get twice as many dollars
for their products, they will get in reality
no more than now.
he money the Populsts want to issue
by the billion would be worth next TO
nothing: The workingmans wages when

dollars Il day, but he would be no better
off than now. The only safe place for the
man who was the victim of Democratic
false pretenses in 1892 is in the Republic
an party. 1t told him in that year JUST
what would happen if the Democrats
won. 1t prophesied truly. The working
men would have done better had they
trusted it then. Their only hope is to
trust it now"

The Democratic Sugar Trust Seen by
Leading Democratic Journals.
The Democratic Congress which
feathered the nest of the sugar trust, at
the expense of the people. is trying to re-
elect itself. 1t does not seem possible
that it can accomplish its purpose, judg-
ing from the following opinions, taken
chiefly from Democratic papers:
Toledo Blade: 4 vote for the Demo
cratic ticket this fall is Il vote for the
sugar trust.
St Louis Globe: The sugar trust put
100000 into the Democratic slot and

Rochester Democrat: SO far as Cleve-
land, Carlisle and sugar are concerned,
there is no appreciable lack of harmony.
Cincinnati Gazette: The sugar trust
holds its grip. Secretary Carlisle does
its bidding and President Cleveland is at
New York Sun: 1t is sugar trust tar

trusts. 1t was conceived in fraud and
born in falsehood.
New York Evening World: The sugar
trust began by robbng the poor. 1t grew
rich in the process. 1t is growing richer
all the time in the same way.
Richmond Dispatch: What the people
ask is that the letters which bind them
to the sugar trust may be broken and
that "a free breakfast table" may follow
as soon as possible.
Baltimore Sun: Mr. Havemeyer, the
president of the sugar trust, is said to

have to pay the fiddler.
Portland Oregonian: German is the die

sugar trust is the government of the
United States. The President has abdicat
