let It all then go to the government,
and not as now be aggregated In such
enormous Jumps, which are constant
menace to a free government: in
short, give US an American pol
Icy; damn England and the
whole outfit of aristocrats. These
things can't be compromised at ali.
Give us an aristocracy Of honest man
hood, worthy OF humane government
Of the whole people. Yours always,

A VOICE FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
AN EARNEST LlTrER-srANp BY
THE OMAHA PLATFORM - YOU
CAN'T BUILD YOUR HOUSE OUT OF
ONE PLANK.
To the Editor:
Since the first time saw your paper
have been great admirer of it.. First
because you are for humanity. No
money would pay me to do without it.
1t should be in every house in the
United States, for ignorance and the
devil are stumbling block.
Some times I have what ia called "the
blues" and again when read 50 many
good letters and lectures you publish,
to-wit: Seth Bottomley. etc., feel bet
ter. Then l read of the many calam-
tiles, scarcity of money. soup houses
etc. 1 at once see thousands will fail
to vote on the right side of the question
in 1896, If they fail to learn whom it
was that introduced the SOUP, etc. And
again feel better when learn that the
non-employed attend the Populist
meetings! From that source they can
learn; as many of them are not able to
take paper; and should their compre-
hension and experience prove to them
that 1t will not do to vote any other
ticket than for humanity, again some
what balance back to an equilibrium.
Thousands of Judases will appear,
with many bogus platform planks for
the free silver standard will be put forth
by both Republicans and Democrats.
for they want the presidency in 1896.
And as we have been deceived by both.
though both platforms sounded we'll
enough, but we did not get anything
from either Harrison or Cleveland.
Therefore If Bryan & Co. want silver
restored to it's original value and the
Populist platform is not satisfactory to
them, let them erect their own light
ming rod and 60 it alone. They. will
all come over If their hearts are right.
l want the entire Omaha platform and
any other plank or planNs that can be
added that is good. What is good for
the many ought to be good enough for
the few. Although Christ could not
please all. But for the benefit of all I
would recommend Gov. Wait and Hon.
lgnatius Donnelly for the presidency
and vice-presidency in 1896. In my
opinion this would be unanimously
adopted by over two million voters.
We must have men for humanity and
the above named gentlemen's past rec
ords cannot be doubted.
me Judases, gold-bugs, would come
In In disguise. In order to keep them
out swear your delegates to the Omaha
platform; and when elected they will
know what has to be DONE Never vote
Tor or give any office to man who has
voted against free silver or for a gold
standard. An honest man does not care
to be watched and should not object to
rigid rule. I have been fooled: so
have you; we cannot Iafford It any
longer. Good material for a foundation
and representation is what / trust will
| meet the successful achievements aimed
at for 1896. No man should ever work
for something that never does him any
good. Hence we have no use for county.
state or United States bonds. Bonds

am inclined to believe money should
draw no interest. Money would then

Improvement. Single takers, Prohibi-
ton and womans suffrage should be
! patient to wait until humanity gets into
| power. The devil leaves no entrance
only to his fold; and you should not bite
at the crust offered by any combination
that may appear.
| Vote the Populist ticket straight be-
fore you are disfranchised. You must
judge our lords by their former acts;
read The Representative, the Missouri
World, the Coming Nation and all Pop
ulist papers and reform books and be
| convinced as to your duty. ANY man
voting against silver votes to disfran-
chise American independence. Single
silver plankers is viewed here as trick
to obstruct the progress of reform. II
that is the only fault they have observed
best for them to read up, and see what
has been done. Perhaps they don't tell
all they know, and intend coming over
to the Populists. II so, come quick and
come while it is day.
One plank does not cover your house
one plank is insufficient for floor, sides
or ends; one plank does not dc for a
corner. Build your house on firm rock
foundation and stand by the Omaha
platform. ]. J. CAMPBELL.

To the Editor:
Do you believe in justice and fail
