Time for Action.

There are quite q number of Popu-
ulists in this county who do not take
the UNION. They have likely not been
asked To subscribe but that should not
hinder them from coming in and sub
sc.ibiEg or sendin. their names in. No
one can get the facts regarding the re-
form movement from the opposition
press. Everyday experience demons
trates that fact. If you want to know
something of reform movement then
read a reform paper. It Is the duty OF
every reformer to DO all he can to
spread reform ideas and there is no
better way to DO it than to take a good
reform paper then when YOU have read
it then send it to some friend or give
it to some neighbor. The truth should
not hurt anyone. Every populist com
mitteeman should use every endeavor
to get the UNION circulated in his
neighbcrEood. If our principles are
right it is worth at least an effort.
1t deyolves upon the rcformers them
selves to work in the cause. Thous-
ands are ready to vote with us if we put
the facts before them. Ten cent
worth of the UNION has made several
voters for our party by putting the facts
| before them. Where is there Il nan
| who could not give ten cents to q good
cause: The old parties are holding
committee meetings every week and
laying every straw that is possible
toward making a new vote or holding
those they already have. Hundreds OF
dollars are expended in those parties to
sustain it and the money is given freely
and without grumhling. If the peoples
= party win they will have to work, for
there is nothing gained without labor.
One township is all right and should be
kept So Others need work and need
it badly Meetings should be held in
every township every week and al
every gathering of that kind 4 request
for subscribers to this paper should be
made. whether the editor is there OF
not. Our time is SO much taken up in
the Office to allow us to make anything
like an extended soliciting tour. Get
