A V1siOn of Justice.


I see q mighty feast outspread,
Where gilded lords their honors wear:
The banquet king sits at their head;
The guests are drunk on vintage rare:
And far below on every side,
No more by cringing fear subdued,
And murmurings like rising tide
l see a countless multitude.
AS rivers to the ocean roll
All tongues and races join the throng,
one purpose burning in each soul,
And on their lips a single song;
One common cause, one flag unfurled,
I They kneel to neither kin nor clan:
Their country is the round, wide world:
Their creed the brotherhood of man.
The feast goes on; the proud rejoice;
They hear sound Of distant waves;
They think it but the torrents voice
Complaining through the highland caves;
1t is no mountain stream, that leaps
Rebellious of it's rocky bands;
1t Is the lifting Of the deeps,
The sinking Of the ancient lands.
Reslstless as the pulse of doom,
Inc ocean swings from shore to shore;
And frightened kings fit through the gloom,
Like stars that fall to rise more.
The high sea-walls of caste are gone;
The pent-up fl DDS their c. aims have burst;
The toilers face the golden dawn;
The first are last the last are first.
The Old goes down, the New ascends;
It's sunny isles in glory rise;
A rainbow DER the deluge bends,
And labor's curse dissolves and dies;
The gods of gold no more hold sway;
The people bow to truth alone,
And he whose voice the tides obey
Remains forever with his own.

Orr EnEliSh Owners.

A friend asks for answers to the follow
ing questions:
Q. What amount of foreign capital is
now invested in the manufacture of alco-
holic liquors in the United States?
A. About sos, 100000.
Q. Are not the aliens engag ed in maun-
featuring in this country protected by our
tariff the same our own citizens?
A They certainly are, and a large por-
ton of the establishments clamoring the
most loudly for protection are owned by
aliens, and American citizens are compelled
by our government to thus pay tribute to
foreign capitalists. Every tin mine in the
United States is owned in England. 1t is
true that the tin is American, but the
profits are English.
Q. What amount of land in the United
States is owned and controlled by persons
not citizens?
A About 100, 900, 900 acres.
Q. What amount of foreign capital is in
vested in this country?
A An amount sufficient to make an an
nual drain of at least $500 ,00O, 00O.-Oregon

AN OPERA BOUFFE WAR.

War in the Southern American climes
may not be a very deadly article, but it Is
picturesque and amusing. There is the rich
tropical background; the picturesquely at
tired inhabitants; the gilded off1cers-every-
thing just like opera bouffee and the per-
Torrance as enjoyable and restful as comic
opera or ride over the Duluth Short Line
which is about as enjoyable as anyone
could wish The Duluth Short Line is
really the Saint Paul and Duluth Railroad
familiar to travellers Of all degrees, which
operates the peoples popular route between
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Su-
perior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls and other
important Northwestern points. Fast
trains, splendidy equipped, are run at con-
venient hours between handsome terminals
so that the line Is one that appeals to the
business man and the tourist, because it's
facilities are always Of the best character
and in line with the progress of the age
Always take the Duluth Short Line and be
satisfied with your trip. Ticket agents will
gladly furnish circulars. maps, ETC., or they

If you wish to know how the public
treasury was looted to pay the private eX-
penses of John Sherman when secretary,
read the disgraceful record as given in
Mrs. Marion Todds little pamphlet
entitled Honest ca John Sherman or A
Foul Record" 1t is startling throughout
and abundantly fortified by the best of
authority.
1t is dedicated to Senator John Sher-
man, in memory of that epoch when as
secretary of the treasury, the public fund
supplied his private luXuries.
1t seems the senator was fond of per-
fumery, as the record states that Colgate's
Violet water, at the rate of so per dozen
bay rum for his bath; flowers for his resi-
dence; lemons and sugar for his refresh
ment and hundreds of dollars for his cam
pa1gn committee, organized to promote his
interest as candidate for president in 1885,,
were paid for out of the public fund
Let the honest voter who wanted to make
him president flavor his breakfast cup with
little of the rich cream which Mrs Todd
has gathered from a volume of nearly 1900
pages. Read the shameful record and blush
for your country-then ask yourself if he
or the party he trains with shall longer re-
main your public guardian?

We send out with this issue 10000 illus

omit as good men as we send to. A clerk

make mistakes If you are fortunate enough
to receive a handful we want you to so
manage that it shall be seen by as many
people as possible.
To do this take a hammer and some lacks

the bill to the poStoffice, or to leading
store or hotel in your vicinity, and ask
permission to put it up. Be sure to ask
permission or it may be torn down as

we have invested large sum of money
IN these handbillS and we do not want to
see them thrown aside or destroyed. They
will help the Peoples Party wherever they
are set up and read; and whether you are
favorable to our paper or not put them up
for the good they will do to the general
cause of reform. The collection of por-
traits of leading Populsts, which they fur
niSh, will be hard to duplicate. This is the
first time such a collection has ever been
made.
We would also be glad if every person
who receives a copy of this paper would
constitute himself or herself an agent to
solicit subscriptions for it. We will give 25
per cent commission on all collections to
be deducted by the sender. We propose to
make it the greatest reform paper in the
