candidate for Congress in Mississippi
at the late election is making the
necessary preparations to contest the
seat of his opponent. The announce
ment of such intention has caused the
greatest CONSERVATION among the Dem
ocratic politicians of the state Those
Congressman who have boosted that
Populism had been wiped from the
face of the earth may have to face a
decidedly lively corpse when Popu-
lism contests come up for settlement.
The total vote in Mississippi at the re-
cent election did not exceed $4,000
less than the number polled in any one
of the Indiana Congressional Districts.
To vote in Mississippi necessitates q
man to be not only waterproof but fire
proof as we'll. The constitution re-
quires the voter to register before he
can vote; but before he can register
he must take GA h that his taxes for
the past two years have been paid ::
that he has settled his poll-tax which
cannot be under = and may be in
creased to 50. Then the lucky indi
vidual must be able to read the con
stitution of his state, or to explain its
provisions, either in part or in whole
if an ignorant being, in whole, of
course. This new organic law, like
the colored mans mouse trap, catches
the voters "a-comin' and a-goin'." 1t
was intended to curb the political de-
sire land that was the right of suffrage
of the colored man; but its long arms
reached out beyond him and collared
the "poor white trash" who now, in
while it was very difficult to explain
the provisions of the constitution of
their commonwealth, it is much great
er undertaking to pay taxes and poll
tax.

President Cleveland's recommendation to

that amount would be paid it was under

work done at this session of Congress.
That statement should not be cred

Here's a Suggestion.

Here is a suggestion which we de-
sire to make to our good old Demo
cratic and Republican friends and
farmers.
Oilers will please not read. We
simply want to show you how YOU can
pass your evenings pleasantly. You
can hardly get enough for your wheat
to pay for hauling it to the depot.
Therefore burn it
It will make fairly gooi fire. ut
on lots of it, for lis cheap.
Your cattle and sheep are hardly
worth skinning, much less driving to
market.
Kill them! "Try OUT the tallow"
and make candles. Then by the heat
of your wheat fire and the light of
your tallow candles read about the
good times" We are having all over
the country.
Read about the grand old party
that you have been voting with for the
last thirty years.
Read how much the Republican
party has done for the people.
Read how much the Democratic
party has done for the people.
And then if you want something
real bright and cheerful like, just read
about some happy debtor who has
busted" in business by having too
much money" outside the United
States Treasury; or the fate of some
poor devil of a tramp who has COM
united suicide because he found "plen
ty of work." or about the women and
children who will be freezing and
starving to death from over-product-
ion of fuel and breadstuffs.
Then go to bed and dream sweet
dream about the taxes you have to
pay, and about that little mortgage on
your farm, the interest on which ac-
cumulates even when you are dream
ing. But above all, In your dreams,
whether by night or by day, don't for
get to laugh at the Peoples party and
call them anarchists and cranks.
1t will pay you to do this, and be-
sides it may land YOU in good fat

wheat, one naturally wonders if q
change of breadstuffs has been suifi-
GENTLY great to produce the results
above referred to. But investigation
demonstrates that no such change has
taken place, particularly from wheat
to corn, because the decrease in con-
sumption of the latter during the year
1898 reached the astonishingly large
quantity of $50 225, 200 bushels
1t is apparent, then, to honest,
thinking people that the very low
price of wheat is not due to over-pro-
duction, but must be laid at the door
of under-consumption. As far as per-
tains to the United States it does not
re luire the keenest observation to ar
rive at such conclusion, for all are aware
that during the past year tens of
! thousands of Americans have been I'M
able to obtain all the bread they
wanted. The same conditions exist in
nearly all European countries, the
proof for this announcement being
found In the statements first. hard
times have prevailed; second, exports
of wheat from this and other wheat
producing countries have largely fallen
off.
The average low price of wheat
that which prevailed before panicky
prices overlook the civilized world -
was due TO cheap silver bullion: but
the ruinous low price now prevailing
is the result of the inability of the peo-
pie of the world TO purchase the -four
and bread actually needed. -Noncon-
formist.
How the Democrats Vanish.
The next House will contain less
than seventy-three of the Democrats
who are now serving. No less than
l46 of the present Democratic mem
bership have been retired to private
life. Sixty-One failed of denomination,
or were not candidates again for va
rious reasons, but all the rest went
down in the general Democratic de-
struction which has made the election
of 1894 memorable one. Many of
these mem were leaders III their party,
and had served for many years i'll i'm
portant positions. Here Is the list of
some of them:
SPRINGER of Illinois.
Holman of Indiana.
Bland of Missouri.
Geary of California.
Bynum of Indiana.
Wilson of West Virginia.

been defeated ut the polls. Or, if it
still be further necessary to indicate
the extent to which the DemocI ats
have been almost literally wiped out of

The chairman of thirty-one of these

Decentralization.

There seems to be another side to
the question of over-production, and
that is under consumption. In 1892
the per capita consumption of wheat
in this country was 5.9l bushels; In
1898, 4.85 bushels-a falling off of LOG
bushels in n single year. This makes
a total annual decrease in consumption
by the country of 7l,550,000 bushels,
the population being placed at 81, OO0,-
900.
