things go on from bad to worse until you are in
penury and want, your family in rags and
tatter's? Ridicule won't hurt then, because your
old friends will have forgotten you by that time
and you will have leisure to reflect on your
cringng manhood and your lost opportunities.

When some schemer gets corner on wheat he
squeezes those who have agreed to deliver wheat
which they haven't got. Now, when a man
gives his note or buys on credit, he agrees to
pay SO many dollars which he has not got, and
takes his chances on the money market of get
ting those dollars in time to meet his obliga-
ton He is exactly on the same plane as the
gambler in wheat He sells money short Just as
the wheat dealer sells wheat short. The whole
commercial system is gamble, because peo-
pie have not learned that there is better way.

Bro. Populist, you doing your duty in
this great fight How much time have you

fund Remember, dear brother, that some of
us giving all of our time and a great deal
of money to this cause. Do your share and we
will win. Don't stop to dream over conquests
to be won, but raise few dollars for the cam

matter, we need speakers, and we must have
money to carry on the fight. Don't delayl

Have you noted the tidal wave of prosperi.
ty that is surging over the landl You will find
it flowing in torrents through the columns of
the old party papers. The wheat crop amounts
to billion dollars, the corn crop to billion
more, the hog crop to another billion, and so
the tide swells and sweeps irresistibly onward.
Taking advantage of this bounding prosperity,
Grover Cleveland has borrowed from English
Jews I62 million dollars already, and is getting
ready to borrow 100 million more, while the
papers make daily record of
scores of deaths from starvation suicides be-
cause of hard times murders for the sake of
money to live on, along with accounts of din
ners given by the sons of prosperous citizens
(Wanamakers for example) at 81 900 a plate.

The publisher of the Cosmopolitan magazine
ound that the only way to produce it as cheap
y as he wanted to was to go out into the coun-
ry where land was cheap and he WOULDN'T have
o pay extortionate ground rent, and put ND a
building. With people massed together by the
hundreds of thousands and the millions in great
titles, the tax the landlord levies on every busi-
less forms big item in the cost of everything
Produced there. The remedy is to scatter the
actories into the country but it will never be
lone so long land is monopolized by few
Individuals who are getting millions of dollars
very year for something that should be as free
S air and water.-Star and Kansan.
THE naughty Populists were beaten at the
asst election in Colorado, and the g. O. D. is in
ull control, and the work of 'redeeming the
tate" is fairly Under way, which included, last
'eek, Spanish bull-6ght-the first that ever
ccurred in the United States Give the
grand old party" chance, and the standard
morality and refinement bounds skywayd at
fearful rate.-Living Issues.
