Is cents per bushel. Six cents to cut
it, 3! cents to thresh it, cents to sack
it, and . cents to haul it to market,

A MapnIficent CamnaiYn-

At no time in the history of this
country has there been political cam
paign conducted on higher plane of
principle, under greater disadvantages,
against more obstinate and powerful
adversaries, and with more uniform
and general advancement than the
campaign of the Peoples party in the
election of 1894.
Without money, they held monster
meetings of the people and made mag
nificent demonstrations of enthusiasm
and strength, Without daily press,
they combated the sophist, of the old
politicians and scattered broadcast
millions of phamplets and documents
containing unanswerable arguments
favOring their party principles. With.
out bribery or official patronage, they
rallied to their support the honest,
thinking, independent voters of the
land-the great heart, so to speak, OF
the common people of the Republic.

ton of both old parties, against On un-

il the necessary onward march Is
promptly and properly made. But
the work must commence at once
throughout every state, county and
voting precinct. Speakers must be
kept in the field expounding the prin-
ciples of the Omaha platform. Reform
books and phamplets and leaflets must
be purchased, even by those who can
but poorly spare the money. industri-
ously circulated and brought TO tie
notice of those honest voters in the old
parties who have not got their eyes
open.
Peoples party papers must be sub
scribed for, loaned to neighbors, and
better supported financially. Reform
editors, especially, must keep in the
harness, hew to the line as before, and
refuse to be drawn away from the path
of duty by gilt ering bubbles seeming
to emanae, from the basin of pros
perity. Individual work in the line of
political reform must be pushed with
energy in every walk OF life. And
work will win; there will be no victory
without it.
Let every man who voted the Pop
ulist ticket at the recent election be
up and doing, looking about HIM in
search of the next battle. Keep on
the armor, move steadily forward and
the next great battle of the ballot will
give us the executive and both houses
of Congress. Then the rule of the
people will be firmly established

The power of an advancing army is
better evidenced by its ability to fight.
sustain defeat, move forward and
fight again, than by the capture of
isolated and unimportant though for

pies party far transcends the power it
possessed two years ago, when it car
ried five states, cast twenty-three cleo

teen of its representative men.

Keep on the ArnOr.

Napoleon is credited with the saving
that In a conflict at arms that the side
was victorious which first renewed the
offensive and went in search of the
next battle. In measure this is true
in politics. The party sustaining ap-
parent defeat may resume the conflict
Immediately after election in manner
presaging ultimate victory.
The Republican party, flushed with
success. will doubtless do little during
the next two years except quarrel over
the spoils of office. The Democratic
party, discounted. disorganized, over
whelmed with defeat, will so long de-
bate whether to disband, reorganize,
go over to the Populists or form new
party, that their previous prowess will
have gone glimnering and their OPP
portunity to rally their forces and
achieve victory in go will have passed
from their grasp.
Will the Peoples party avail itself of
the opportunity now afforded to i'm

tory in the next presidential campaign /?

What DO the PeODIe Eyppctr

Why should the people rehabilitate
the Republican party?
Is there the remotest idea that the
Republican party changed?
Is it not the same old corrupt party
that went out out with Harrison?
If it was so corrupt as to deserve de-
feat two years ago, why should it be
reinstated now?
If it spent billion dollars of the
peoples money in one year under Har-
rison, will it not do the same again?
Has it changed or done works mete
for repentance since it startled the
country by its corruption and frauds?
Is the defeat of the Democrats by
the election of the Republicans not a
change of parties without any change
of principles or politics?
How supremacy ridiculous it is for
the people to Jump out of the frying
pan into the fire, to change from one
corrupt party to another equally cor
rupt?
Both of the old parties have been
condemned for their corruption and
debauchery of the public trust. Why
should the people not condemn both
and try a new party?
If business man should discharge
one employee because he had robbed
his safe and employ another who also
robbed him, would it be common sense
for the business man to discharge this
second man and employ again the first
one who robbed him?
That is precisely what the people
have done at the late election. They
discharged the Republicans in 1892 for
robbery and corruption, and in 1894
discharged the Democratic party for
the same cause and employed the Re-
publican party again.
Are the American people set of
fools? Do the people understand what
liberty means, or are they only fit to
be slaves and serfs? Are the Ameri-
can people capable of self-government?
If so, they have not so declared by
their actions. Is not the political ac-
ton of the American people the most
nonsensical and ridiculous that was
ever witnessed?

Conditions i'm England.

According to Leon Levi the number
of producers in Great Britain fOots up
10,64S. 900, and their incomes e450,-
900, 900: the number of non-producers
Is /, Bot, 900, and their income annually
from land interests and the labor of
others is $500, 100000. Thus there are
6, is, 600 more producers than there
are non producers, yet they draw
S400, 900, 900 less than the non-pro-
ducers. There are many millions of
acres of idle land held by the aristoc
racy for parks, pleasure grounds and
fores s for game where the nabobS
hunt and spend their worthless lives
In luxury.
Under this wise sys EN- of govern
ment, that Mr.. Cleveland desires to

there are 100000 laupers and one in
five that is, one-fifth of the popula-
lation of London die paupers, and 80
Ter cent. of the producers of wealth
have such n meager income that they
can scarcely keep soul and body to-
gether-
This is the condition of the pro-
dncers of wealth in England More is
spent than is produced. Then, how
does the country keep up? one would
maturity ask. 1t can be answered by
stating that all the balance of the
Grid, including the United States,
makes voluntary contributions of mil
lions of dollars annually to make up
for the waste of these English lords
and dukes. The Unitel States is in
the lead asa voluntary contributor to
this English snobbery About one
third of the products of American Ia
Dor goes to help replace this waste CT
the English nabobs. This has been
going on for wears. The people who
produce wealth have been voting to
continue this British robbery of Amer
lean labor, but they are slowly getting
their eyes open. The time is not far
distant when the people of the United
States will saw off this annual voluE-
tary contribution to support the lords,
dukes and duchesses of England.
When England is once forced to de-
pend on its own country for support
the Britain will learn lesson that
will prove valuable. They will then
find 1t necessary to dispense with much
of this ornamental business, and in
crease the means of production and
the wages of labor.
