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 and the
country need is more money, that it will
see that there is more money, and then
the farmer will get higher prices for his
wheat and the workingman for his labor.
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.
The money the Populists want to issue
by the billion would be worth next to
nothing: The workingman's wages when

Texas sheep Man Talks About the
Tariff.
The San Antonio, Tex. Express prints
the following from one of the large sheep
growers Of Texas, which not only express
es the condition of things in that state,
but in every state which engages in sheep
husbandry:
'"ralk about the great strike, it is as
nothing compared to the destruction of
values in Western Texas by tariff agita-
ton, as far as San Antonio is concerned.
"A Jew years ago sheep in Western Texas
were worth from So to $3.50 or S. a head,
and the land grazed upon was rated at
from 81 to SIS an acre. Now what are
sheer, worth, Next to nothing. There is
no sale for sheep, ecept under foreclosure
for debt, and unless creditors can be pre-
vailed upon to extend their leniency most
OF what remains in the country will
change hands in that way before long, if
anyone can be found to take them at any
price. Many have been sold in this way
and l will cite a few instances to show
how values have shrunk since the profits
OF wool growing were knocked off. Re-

head, which two years ago were rated at

well-bred and cared for, We're sold at 65

mead, few years ago worth 800 per

at 67 cents. Another flock of 210O We're
sold a few days ago at 30 cents. And the

The Democratic Sugar Trust as 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 it's purpose, judg-
ing from the following opinions, taken
chiefly from Democratic papers:
Toledo Blade: A vote for the Demo-
cratic ticket this fall is vote for the
sugar trust
St. Louis Globe: The sugar trust put
will take out $4O,OOOOOO.
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 it's grip. Secretary Carlisle does
it's bidding and President Cleveland is at
it's service.
New York Sun: 1t is a sugar trust tar
iH voted by pretended enemies of all
trusts. 1t was conceived in fraud and
born in falsehood.
New York Evening World: The sugar
trust began by robbing the poor: 1t grew
rich 9G III, in the process. 1t is growing richer
Richmond Dispatch: What the people
ask is that the fetters which. bind them
to the sugar trust may be broken and
that '1a free breakfast table, may follow
as soon as possible.
Baltimore Sun: Mr.. Havemeyer, the
president of the sugar trust, is said to
be an excellent violinist. So was Nero,
and the people at this day, as at that,
have to pay the fiddler.
Portland Oregonian: German is the die
tator of the Democratic party and the
sugar trust is the government Of the
United States. The President has abdicat
ed and the House of Representatives has
surrendered
New York World: The triumph of the
sugar ring is the most fragrant instance
of plutocratic rule and monopoly DONNA
ton yet seen in Washington. 1t must be
rebuked by the people and reversed by
their servants.
Detroit Free Press: The Senate has
most critical periods in the country's his
tory, but it has at the same time con-
vinced the people that they must abolish
or reform that once honorable body.
Buffalo Express: 1t is rumored in
Washington that a deal has been made
bers Of the Democratic party by which
the price of sugar until after election.
Cleveland Leader: The Democratic
newspapers which are referring to the
surrender of the Democracy to the sugar
trust as a victory for tariff reform would
probably rush in and congratulate the re-
mains of a man who had been run
through a threshing machine or cut to
pieces by railroad train.
Under the Democratic Law Binding
Twine Will be Made in Europe.
Ex-Mayor Edwin Filter of Philadelphia,
who owns the biggest rope mill in the
country outside Of the trust has said that
''the placing of binding twine on the free
list virtually transfers the plant from this
country to England, Ireland and Ger
many. From 120O0O,O00 to 13O,OOO,OOO
pounds of the twine is made in the Unit
ed States each year, and between $S,OUO.-
600 and $1O,0O0,O0O is invested in the
machinery that turns it out. In Eng
land, Ireland and Germany the wages are
GO per cent. lower than in the United
States. OF course those countries are not
prepared as yet to turn out large quanti-
ties of twine. but they will be soon" 1t
is to the advantage of importers of mer-
chandise to leave goods in the bonded
warehouse until the law goes into effect,
when the duties will be reduced. Imports
aggregating in value nearly S2,O0O,OOO,
the largest ever bonded here at one time,
are now in the warehouse. The owners
will take, advantage Of the reduction in
the new law.
