How to Change Hard Times.

Times are hard, but they will get
harder unless yOu will work the
change.
Leaders can do nothing without
followers.
Preaching is idle without listen
ers and concerts.
If you want better times to come,
change the laws which Cypress you.
If you want to change these laws,
get your neighbor to see the wrong
which you see.
To do this, put a newspaper or a
book into his hands which will open
his eyes.
Let him be his own teacher. Let
him work out his own salvation.
Let HIM feel that he is convincing
himself.
If he will read the CAUCASIAN
each week till next election, he will
be changed man.
Try it.
Send us two subscribers and we
will send you free copy of Coins
Financial School, or Up to Date or A
Tale of Two Nations.
Send us five subscribers and we
will send you free all three of these
books. Don't wait. The great
fight between the people and the
gold bugs is now on. Every honest
voter who stays in the old parties is
helping the gold power. He will
quit them when he learns the truth.
Get him to read The CAUCASIAN.
Also remember that the Populist
who does not read is not half so
good soldier.
In this great battle patriots must
be armed with facts instead of mus
kets.
HE CAUCASIAN furnishes the
facts. T3t

Fusion River" the largest stream
in this geographic region, flows i'm
mediately through the city supply
ing the good people with an abund-
ance of clear, cool, fresh water. In
some respects this beautiful Stream
is of as peculiar origin as the city
itself, which is only few years old.
The river is younger by half, yet its
voluminous flow is as tranquil as
"Sweet Gliding Kedron" over the
rough obstacles in its deep channel.
They say some years ago-at the
beginning of the present drouth-
that "cloud about the size of a

itself on Populite Peak. 1t grew
larger until it became a mighty wa

PUBLICAN Fork, and went rolling,
| ripping, tumbling through the town.
| The inhabitants of the neighboring
town were very much affrighted for
these people. Some of their wise
acres said it would soon expend its
volume-that the waters would "di-
vide" or become 'chi!ly," and
come to naught; but their claim to
the prophetic is unsupported, for
it continues to rise getting digger
and biggsr!" The city contains
thousands of inhabitants, and new
arrivals are constantly reported pre-
empting vacant lots by the score.
Business is lively and the people
ale enterprising. They are fully
awake to their interests in State and

heads in the burgh who watch for

them of approaching danger.

ANY man who has watched the |
current of events for the past few
years knows that the next Ma
tional conventions of the two old
parties will not declare for the fire
coinage OF silver. Each one of them
may write straddling platform and
noln nate halfway silver man for
Vice-President, but everybody will
know what that means. The ma
chinery of both old parties is not only
dead against silver and more money,
but ia in league with and controlled
by the gold men. Therefore every man
who stays in either of these old par
ties will simply be helping and
strengthening the gold men. Their
how can any man who is not IL

YOU want the gold men to win? Nc
Therefore you will not vote the gold
ticket. Will you sit down and dc

Therefore you will fight the golo
men with all your power. Yes, you
will fight them and vote agains
them. You will work and vote fol
platform and candidate for Presi
dent who is square on the financia
question.
There is but one way that the gol(
men can win. That is for the patriot
in the Republican party who are op
posed to the gold men to stay II
that party, and for the patriots il
the Democratic party who are op
posed to the gold men to stay in tina
party. Then the gold men woult
put up two gold bugs for Presiden
and the patriots would help elect on
of them with their votes. If tn
Peoples Party should devide AMI
each Populist should 60 back to hi
old party, the result would be tn
same.
There is but one way that tb
gold men can be beaten. That j
for TIE patriots of the two old par
ties to come together. Then all tn
prtrlots would be in one party Will
the gold men would be divided int
two gold parties with two gold can
didates.
Patriots, the path of duty and tn
road to victory is plain. The battl
must be fought-the hour ha

Look Out Now.


Missouri Wofld.l
Let no one build up hope from the
recent activity of the silver Demo
Gratis that that party can or will
give the country free coinage law.
We want our silver friends in the
Democratic party to look at the stu
alton as it is. You have been griev-
ously disappointed once. Almost a
lifetime Of labor has been brought
to naught by over-confdence in YOUR
party. Stand off for a moment as a
non partisan and take a look at YOUR
party. In 1880 the Democratic
party in the same states in which
the silver Democrats are now 30
active declared for the free COIN
age of silver in language that
admitted of no double construc-
ton Except in Illinois, where the
plank was not very definite } Yet
the goldbug Democrats were suffici-
emily numerous in Congress at the
extra session two years ago to not
only prevent the passage of free
silver bill, but to wipe out the last
law favorable to silver and readopt
the demonetizing act of 1873.

Success VS.. Contentment.
New York Tribune.

Lord Rosebery embarked In life with a trim.
ity of sharply outlined determinations, which
time fulfilled for him, leaving him, 1t may be,
no nearer the goal of contentment than he
was before their realization. He set out to
marry the reigning heiress. which :he did In
the espousal Of Miss Hannah Rothschild to
win the blue ribbon Of the turf, which no
compassed in the victory Of his horse, Ladas
and to become Prime Minister. which also fell
to him oD tho retirement of Gladstone, an
event OF yesterday, so 10 speak but even this
brief term of power has been sufficient to in.
dicate to the prosperous Lord, on whom for
tune was so ready TO shed her bounty, that it
might have been wiser 10 have outlined less
ambitious plan of achievement. The indica
tions are that his health is hopelessly shat
tered, and IL Is clear to everybody, himself in
cluded, that he is in no way equal to the
duties of his place Eor likely..to become 40.
He may suffer a like fate with Lord Randolph
Churchill. who died the other day, winding
up prematurely political career which had
considerable promise before the Rosebery star
had fully risen but whatever destiny may
await him, IL is clear that he has had enough
of high and responsi BILE office.

Bicycle, Not Trolley, Did 1t.
New York Tribune.

"lt IL a common idea" says Cincinnati
horsedealer. "that the change OF motive power
for street cars and the consequent disuse of
horses, thus reducing tho demand, is largely
responsible for the decline in prices of horses.
That Is true as to a certain kind of horsefesh
but not the best kind. What affects my
business moro than anything else is tho
bicycle. This diminishes the use OF a better
class OF horsos--a class not affected materially
by the substitution Of electricity for horses
on street railways. The bicycle takes the
place of the gentleman's riding horse, Of tho
lady's riding horse. of buggy and carriage
horses, and of the youngsters pony. People
in general do not realize how disastrous the
bicycle has been to the market for these kind

Justice Harlan's Punishment Begins.

New York Sun.
The availability Of Mr.. Justice Harlan as a
Populist candidate for President is promptly
recognized by tho New York World, news
paper which has been clsmoring not only for
an income tax, but for a progressive and re-
pressiye tax.
According TO that journal. the associate
justice, on his way from his home 20 the
Capitol, is now "stopped in every square by
dozens OF men, few Of whom he knows but
all OF whom know him. who insist on grasp
ing him by the hand and congratulating him
upon his dissenting opinion" The popular.
or populistic. desire 70 shake Mr.. Justice Har
lan's hand is 30 general in the streets Of
Washington that he is "forced TO take refuge
in cab and drive away" The World adds
that Judge Harlan's name is being freely
mentioned In connection with a Presidential
nomination"
The same blatant advocate Of socialistic
schemes for tho robbery of the few by the
many, commends editorially what it calls
"the indignant severe, and even eloquent
dissent" of Mr.. Justice Harlan and the other
Justices who agreed with him In denouncing
the opinion of the court. "They spoke, says
i ho World, "with the gravity and the fervor
OF deep conviction, treating the principles,
tho equities. ana the consequences of the case
with equal erudition, patriotism and cour-
age"
The prompt and enthusiastic approval from
this particular quarter must give Mr.. Justice
Harlan some anxiety. il he entertains Presi-
dental aspirations. He proved in 1877 that
as politician looking out for Number One he
Is no fool. He win scarcely welcome the sup
port of the most ostentatious, but really: the
least dangerous enemy of society in the whole
anarchistic press.
