Times.
1t is estimated that there are now
100000 unemployed men in thJ
country. This means about 5000, 600
people who can not purchase any
thing. Farmers wonder why the price
Of wheat has gone down and mer-
chants are in despair over the scarcity
of purchasers. But it is easily &C
counted for. Cut 25 per cent of the
demand from anything and the price
will fall. The way to bring prices
up is to increase the demand Set
these millions OF mouths to eating,
furnish them with money with which
to buy, and the farmer Immediately
finds more markets for his wheat and
the merchant for his goods. Evident
ly what we need is employment for the
idle and more money with which to
employ them. Elect the Populist
ticket and the country will get BOTH

That there is great conspiracy on
-
the part of capital as represented in
Wall and Lombard streets to own and
control labor, and that Cleveland, in
conjunction with John Sherman, is
the conscious agent and tool of this
combination, elected for this purpose,
may be untrue; it may be a delusion
OF cranks and pessimists. But this
we know, that the evidence that such
is the case is so strong, so convincing
to the impartial observer, that if
marshaled against a Grayson county
BOY on the charge of horsetheft,
twelve good men sworn to administer
the law would meet the approval OF
the community and their own con.
sciences by sending him to the peni.

list.
Twenty-Five years ago the slave
holding plutocrats hOwled about the
sacredness of their vested rights in
property, and the United States courts
sustained them; but the people would
have none of it, as it interfered with
humanity. To-day other plutocrats
are again bowling about the sacred
ness of their vested rights that crush
humanity, and the United States
courts again sustain them. The latter
set Of plutOcrats should take warning
from the lesson taught the former, or
they may awake some fine morning
and read another emancipation
proclamation that will take from
them all the vested rights they are
bowling for and leave the United
States courts nothing to sustain. The
sovereign power is in the people and
in them exclusively.-Texas Union
Workman.
Slowly the people are learning that
the snaky coils of corruption are
wrapped around the senate, that
courts are strangled by its grip and
that old party machinery is Matching
brood after brood of this ruinous mon
ser. In the midst of the greatest op-
portunity that ever presented itself,
we find party absolutely refusing TO
do what it pledged itself to do We
'ee another party now preaching the
same doctrine which, it admitted,
damned it in '92 Fields are dotted
with golden grain and green with
growing crops. Pastures are popu-
lated with fat cattle and on every side
we see plenty, yet we hear the mutter
of poverty, the complaint that all the
growing crops and all the harvested
{rain will leave the raiser no better
off than he was a year ago. Many,
very many, will be left poorer than
ever before. With all this abundance
the pangs of hunger are gnawing at
millions of stomachs and stores of
food only mock their hunger. You
have produced the fool and the con-
sumner is starving in sight Of it. Will
you not study to know what has tied
all your hands. Peoples Advocate.
