Dear Sir:-The Peoples Party was
born Of a great necessity, for broad,
genuine reform in this nation. No
persuasion can detach its members
from pursuing their purpose. This is
not the time or place to present argu
ments for particular platforms. 1t is
sufficient to say that the Omaha p at
form is the platform OF that party,
and that it is beyond any power to
procure a Peoples Party National
convention to narrow it to silver
plank, or to essentially lessen it., de-
mandS. Some demands may be made
more definite, and may be placed in a
more abbreviated form. 1t is possible
that the next convention may declare
for the execution of some Of its de-
mands only after an affirmative YER
dict upon reference Of the questio
to a vote Of the people. But what
ever the course Of the convention
may be in detail it will take no step
backward in prin G. pie, and the sooner
this is understood by all who intend
to act against old parties in 1896 the
better. There should be no moro idle
talk. The time for this has passed,
and the time for action has come.
Every day that passes in useless talk
about silver men and Peoples Party
men writing new platform Of mar
row character is worse than wasted.
1t tends to lead to suspicion and dis
cord, and if kept up will produce fric-
tion between silver men and People's
Party men, which is unnecessary and
unWlSe.
There is but one basis upon which
the Peoples Party and the silver men
can not act together effectively in
1896 1t is that already suggested by
Mr. Ignatius Donnely, and which has
been favorably discussed mere by
prominent and jealous silver and
Peoples Party men. Let us have no
struggle over platforms. This can
have but one end-discord. Let the
National committee of the Peoples
Party and the leaders OF the silver
movement each call their separate
conventions, to sit separately at the
same city and at the same date. Let
each cOnvent tion adopt it's pla orm to
SuiG itself.
There will be nothing inconsistent
in these platforms: but one will con-
tain more demands than the other.
Then when platforms are completed,
let each convention appoint a confer
ence committee, to confer only on the
question of candidate fer President
and President. If tlcy can
agree upon Candidates who can re-
ceiye the nomination in the usual
way in each convention, then let each
candidates be nominated in each con-
yentiCn simultaneously.
This is a basis for united action

West Virginia in 1894 slumped to moth

1888
Delaware, South Carolina Utah and
West Virginia are not represented in
this list. Yet it is very encouraging;

BACON AND CENTRALIZED WEALTH

That bright and able paper, the Reform
Advocate, Clarkfeld, Mimi, published
some extracts from Bacon's essays. on
''Seditions and Troubles" of which the
following is a specimen:
''Above all things good policy is to be
used, that the treasures and moneys Of
the state be not gathered into a few
hands; for, otherwise, a state may have
great stock and yet starve. And money
is like muck, not good except spread. This
is done by suppressing, or at least keep
ing strait hand upon the devouring
trades OF usury, engrossing, great pastur-
ages and the like"
The wise of all ages have ever put the
same estimate upon the injustice and the
danger of centralizing the wealth and re-
sources OF a nation in the hands of few
of its citizens. Bacon saw it three hun
dred years ago, the thoughtful see it now

in Bacon's time, for the degree and rap

Rich men would own the skies,
And manage this whole universe

Has changed his plan for making man
BY shaping him from clay;

From the very bottom of our heart, we
despise this doctrine that property makes

Argyle, Mimi, Nov. 2O.-The special

county. 1t is called for no other purpose
than to investigate complaints made that
grain buyers in the county are not living
up to the provisions of their license and
are guilty of misdemanors under the law
OF 1895. The grain buyers are charged
with keeping down brades of wheat, Civ
ing the wrong grade where the oppor-
tunlty is afforded, docking too much For
dirt and mixing different grades. The
venire will not be placed in the sheriffs
hands until the county board meets in

ter with them, and if they are opposed

BIG POPULIST VICTORIES.
RETURNS SUST IN FOR THE
ELECTION OF 1894.
A Little Late to Celebrate, but Bet
ter Late Than Never.
(ChicagO Monthly Sentinel.)

1t may be little late to throw up your
hats for the big victories won year ago;
but is better late than not at all. AS re-
peatedly asserted by the monthly Senti-
mel, year ago the great Republican
landslide" was a very slim victory. 1t
consisted principally in the "scare head
lines of the old party press. The officials
returns were carefully omitted All the
reports were by "majorities" or ''plurali
ties''-so that the vote could not be COM
pared with that of previous years. The
Fopulist vote was omitted entirely. At
last the almanacs of 1895 have given the
official returns. Samuel Leavitt has TAX

After they think it cannot do the coun-

the truth about the Peoples party, viz,

The New York Sun, thinking no Pop

hashed up pretended list of the Populist
votes of 1894 "aIl but where there had

CnARLEsroS, May 7.-"All's quiet on
Elkhorn," is tho report at the state
house to-day. State aud federal
officers disclaim any recent knowledge
from that region, and arc sanguine over
tho prospect for a speedy settlement OF
tho trouble. Tho joining in tho strike
by the Browning men is regarded as
particularly significant. inasmuch as it
leaves tho whole region idle, aud must
necessarily forco action ono way or.the
other on tho part OF tho Norfolk &
Western railroad or the coal men. The
road Is practically dead, aud unless the
difficulty is adjusted soon, will rcmain
so for some time. United States Dep.
uty Marshal lIarman arrived this morn
ing from that section. He mas been
over that entire country recently, post
ing tho courts injunction. and under
stands exactly the pulse Of the people.
Tho situation when he left late yester-
day evening was not in the least threat
ening. and there is no indication that
leads to the supposition Of trouble.
The men who laid down their tools
yesterday afternoon did go voluntarily
and without coercion. The presence OF
the Virginia militia has not had the
effect desired. 1t was thought when
they were brought there that the men
who were at work would be expected to
remain in, and this thev did until yes.
terday when in some manner the im.
preston became general among them
that the military was there to force
them to work, or at least to prevent
their joining the strike. The men
rebelled, stopped work and refused to
resume until the strike was sottled.
Some talk is INDUCED about importing
non.uniou labor from Pennsylvania, but
those posted think it ia merely blud
done for effect only. II such move
was made trouble could be looked for.
Deputy Marshal Harman reports the
men extraordinarily orderly in their
demeanor, and yesterday when there
were from 5000 to 10000 men idle no: o
eingle drunk was seen.
