THREE QUARTERS OF 4 MIL
LION STOLEN,

THE DEMOCRATS OF CHICAGO STEAL
THE PARTY BLIND.
The Democracy has not been in so
demoralized condition since the
Civil War broke out, and Buchanan's
officers looted the public treasury.
There are about it all the signs of dis
solution.
For instance the Chicago Times
Herald of Dec. 4, says: !
"Three-quacters Of million dollars
has been stolen from the campaign
fund of the Democratic party raised
for the years 1893, 1894 and the spring
Of 1895. This charge is made by M. G.
Mcdonald and Alderman John Pow
ers. 1t is sustained by the newly
elected chairman of the county CEN
trail committee, Thomas Gahan, in
the statement that the funds OF the
past two years have not been account
ed for. 1t is admitted by ex-Chair-
man Francis S. Peabody. who, as all
Democrats of every shade of opinion
acknowledge, was not party to the
illegal diversion Of these funds to per-
sOnal uses by the members Of the
committee charged with the plumber.
paign which resulted in the election
Of John z. Hopkins over G.. B. Swift
as mayor, for the county commission
ers' campaign following, for the alder
manic campaign, for the Wenter con-
test and for the drainage channel
campaign but recently closed.
The Democratic administration of
the central committee, born out Of the
assassination of Carter Harrison, is
charged with the misuse of this mon
ey And for this misuse no explana-
tion is at present forthcoming from
the Democratic citizens who stand
under the charge Of having taken the
money for their own personal benefit,
involving in it's expenditure trips to
Europe, to Baden Baden and to the
Hot Springs, and the building OF vari-
Gus expensive residences in different
parts of the city"
This is stupendous.
1t is customary for rats to leave the
sinking ship-but the human rats
usually retreat with their arms full.
It is pitiful-most pitiful-to think
of great party, whose life dates back
almost to the formation Of the gov
eminent, and which was illus trated
by the names Of great and command
ing geniouses, sold out by platitud
inous old imbecile to the Money-pow-
er Of Europe and America, and
brought to such straits that every
man feels like grabbing the clothes off
the corpse and running away with
them.

Corn is worth IL cents in Kansas at
the railroad stations; the railroads
charge l2ac for hauling it to Chicago,
and talk Of raising the rate on account
of the large crop! Do any of you sap
heads still believe public owners hip of
railroads could make matters any
worse for the farmers? Put your
thinking cap on Mr.. Farmer: it is time
you should vote Neutrality-suspicious.,
Noble, Ill.
He hasn't got any thinking cap" He
gave chattel mortgage on it to a
national bank, and it was foreclosed
on. The Republican victory "re-
deemed Kansas" but 1T didn't redeem
the mortgaged farms or thinking
caps" But they still have their
drums and trumpets and torch-light
professions, and can hurrah for hur-
rah! A wise and thoughtful genera
tion Of self-governing American free
men are they indeed!

merely sample copy. If the number
on the label is 13 more than the num-
Der Of the current issue Of the paper,
then some person has paid for the pa

BAD. BAD.

1t is announced that California
congressman will introduce a bill in
the house appropriating 100000, 900
for the construction of the Nicaragua
canal, the United States to be the
absolute owner of the waterway when
completed. If the canal is to be built,
this is the way to do it. The govern
ment cannot afford to enter into
partnership with lot Of promoters
and spectators or to subSidlZe priv
ate company. Uncle Sam will be
called upon to defend the canal
against foreign aggression and he
should be able to show clean
title.
That's the way it should be done,
but where is the "boodle" to come
from? That is the greatest argument
against State Socialism. You must
give private parties chance to plum
der the fool multitude or there will be
no money to disburse among the
''statesmen." No body makes any
profit out of the postal service-at
least not since the "Star Route"
troubles. And it is very socialistic
and paternalistic. Why should the
who'd people be taxed to carry John
Smiths letter from Podunk to Sque-
dunk? Turn it over to Rockefeller,
and let him put up the price to 25
cents letter; and then we could
point to new crop of millionaires, to
prove that we are the most prosperous
people on earth. And John Smith

mortgage heifer. The great end of
government is to produce millionaires
and paupers; with standing army be-
tween to protect the good, kindly. cul-
tured aristocrats from the red-eyed,
dirty-fisted plebians.
Down with paternalism!

PATRONIZE POPULLSTS.

In another column we insert an ad-
vertisement of Tennessee Populist
who offers for sale his own tobacco.
Help one another. II you use the
"weed' write for prices and samples.
The Peoples Party is in favor of the
producers Of one section dealing d.
rectly with the producers of another.

THE LABORING MEN.
WHY WE MUST STAND BY THE.

WHY WE MUST STAND BY THEM.
A farmer subscriber writes US:
II like your paper; but why do you
devote so much time to Debs and the
workmen? They won't vote the Popu-
list ticket anyhow. The Plutocrats
buy up their leaders and the men are
marched off like flock of sheep. See
what Tom Watson says:
But it is all right:-the labor men
will howl awhile over the bossism Of
the Courts, will throw their fervent
arms around the liberated Debs, hug
him, kiss MIN, tote him home on their
shoulders, and so forth and so FORTH
but, when election day rolls around,
they will vote, just as usual, for De-
mocracy or Republicanism-bot Of
which rotten organizations vie with
each other in upholding the Federal
Judges and their revolutionary de-
cisions.
It's sad-but it is So"
There is great deal Of truth in all
this, but we should stand by the work
ingmen even If we expected never to
get vote from them for the Peoples
Party.
The fate of civilization is wrapped
up in the future of the working
classes. Everything that tends to
impoverish or degrade them is a threat
against the peace and safety Of the
whole world. If they submit to op-
preston and become slaves, then a
Republic is impossible in this land;
for the Money-power would own their
votes and use them TO ruin the rest of
US. II they break into universal re-
bellion there would be seven chances
out Of ten that they would end in ter
rible conditions of anarchy, which
would destroy all that civilized man
holds dear; and if they were over
thrown the bayonet Of military power
would forever pin PROSTATE mankind
to the earth.
Taking narrow view of 1.-THE la
Dor forces constitute the chief mar
ket for the productions Of the farmer,
and when they are too poor to buy the
crops of the agriculturlst the mort
gage is foreclosed on the farm. This
is the case now We observe that
while the shipments Of wheat from
this country to Europe have fallen off
the shipments of maize, or Indian
corn, have increased:-which indicates
that the laboring people of the old
world cannot afford to buy wheat
bread and are falling back on corn.
Besides we are all producers togeth-
er-all toilers.-bound into onesgreat
mass by Thousand indissoluble ties.
The farmer raises the wool; the
weaver weaves it: the tailor cuts the
cloth into clothes. The farmer raises
the cattle; the tanner tans hides; the
shoemakers form them into shoes.
The farmer raises the wheat; the
millers grind it; the bakers bake it.
And so throughout the list.
And more than all they are Ameri-
cans-men. An injustice to one Of
them is wrong to all Of us.
Fate has decreed that the farmer
and the workmen must stand or fall
together. AS the Omaha platform
says, their interests are the same;
their enemies are Identical"
We can only save civilization by all
standing and striking together. He
who would divide us is the enemy Of
both.
Corrupt leaders may deceive them,
but the hearts Of the laboTing men
are all right, and sooner or later they
will vote right.
