of the hour. In order for the prin
ciples of the Omaha platform to
triumph there must be a great
amount of educational work done,
such as one finds in the columns OF
the Farmers Tribune, of Des Moines,
Iowa. The Tribune is a large
eight page paper, brinful of the
latest Populist news, columns OF
letters on the live questions of the
day from the leaders of the party,
and two pages Of able and instruc-

printed with bold, clear type
having recently purchased a com
plete outfit of new type. The
Tribune is one of the oldest reform
papers, is thoroughly reliable and
always up to date. 1t is an educa

subscription price is 81 90 per year
Trial subscription of three months
for % cents. The Tribune adver'
tises to send samples to all who
write for them.

checks cashed and pay our notes
without so much trouble. We are
too far away from any bank.
