Oh. for Men With Backbones.

The railway managers are Fastening
government ownership of railways as
rapidly as almost any other influence
by their cruel and heartless blacklist
ing system, and their arbitrary methods
of dealing with the public. AS sample
of methods it is stated that the Great
Northern railway requires applicants
for positions on that line to fill out
history of their past lives, stating
when and where they have worked for
several years previous, why they left
their positions, and giving their height,
weight, age, color of hair, eyes and
eyebrows, distinctive marks, etc. In
addition to this other roads require
proof that the applicant is not men,
Der of any labor union. You would
not have thought a system Of this kind
possible a quarter Of a century ago,
and it was not thus, but it has gradu
ally deyeloped-crawled steadily upon
the people as the snake crawls upon
its victim, until to-day labor seems
powerless to shake it off. Why are
you, railroad employe and other labor
ing men, in such tolls, and why do you
submit to such tyranny? Are you
powerless? Certainly, unless you con-
clude to be men and not cringing SER
viles. You have permitted yourselves
to be voted into present conditions
and aided it by your votes, and now if
you will not rise to the dignity Of in
dependent manhood, to the position Of
freemen, and undo the wrongs you are
suffering by an intelligent use of the
ballot you deserve to suffer, and you
will suffer more than you are now
undergoing. Oh. that men would
think as they never have before. AS
you care for your wives and your chill
dren, in Gods name, and in the name
of humanity, rise to the dignity Of true
manhood and assert your rights and
cease to be slaves. Relief from CALLING
oppression is at hand II men will only
be men. Have we become a nation Of
men without backbones? It would
seem so.

PREFERRED TO DIE.
sad Story OF One Girl Who Died Rather
than Wed Brutal Cripple.

Sad story or One Girl who Died Rather
than Wed a Brutal Cripple.
A little girl in India went to the mis-
sionary school. She was a pretty,
clever little thing, and so attracted the
teacher that she ventured to visit her
in her home. She found the child
overshadowed by the horror Of her ap-
preaching marriage. As baby she
had been betrothed, but, according to
custom, she lived in her fathers house
till she was II; then she was taken
from her own people and given over to
her husband, hideous little man, de-
formed, his face SCARED with dis
ease, Of bad character, and VIGOROUSLY
given to drink. The child was terri
fed of him and he derived ghOul-
like pleasure from her terror-used to
jump at her in the dark, make faces
at her, and told her that once really
married to him and in his home he and
his old mother would make short work
of her beauty with a red-hot fork, SO
that it would soon be difficult to choose
between their two faces. At last the
fatal day arrived. The missionary's
heart ached for the little friend she
was unable to help, and as she went
about her work she prayed, says q
writer in Temple Bar, that God might
save His hapless creature. At noon
the child's mother burst into the house.
"Nahomi is dead" she cried. The
two women hurried to her home. She
had washed her little person and her
hair, had braided 1t neatly, had put Oh
her bridal gown, had decorated hel sell
with flowers and jewelry, and then had
gone quietly into the yard behind the
house, where datura tree huns its
great white trumpets against the blue
sky, dug up and ate little Of its poi
sonous root, and then crept back into
her home, where she now lay, cold,
stark-free.

Banks In Politics.
Farmers and Laborers' Journal.)

Farmers and Laborers' Journal)
The banks are running the country
and running 1t in the ground. You
cannot pick up newspaper but you
will read Of meeting Of bankers, here
or there, to dictate to congress-or of
President Blank of the Blank National
bank drawing a series Of resolutions
to instruct members Of congress.
Are the bankers philanthropists?
No; their business is to lend money and
collect interest upon it. AS a class they
have no connection with the people,
except to suck the substance out Of
them and leave them poorer than they
were. Are they looking out for the
welfare of the masses? No; they are
simply trying to concentrate the wealth
of the masses in the Golfers Of the
banks. You can't blame them. That
is their business. But to govern a re-
public so that the many may be pros
porous and the greed Of the few be re-
strained should be the aim of all true
representatives of the masses Of the
people.

GOLD VERSUS PAPER
UNION SOLDIER AND GREEN
BACK CURRENCY.
Fought Side by Side-Nstional Supremacy
Sustained by Their United Efforts
Gold Is Coward and Retreats in
Time of War.

In 1862, when liberty was assailed by
grim-yisaged war, gold, as ever
coward, retreated to vaults and to
Europe. Then as Minerva sprung full
armed and ready for victorious combat
from the brain Of her parent, so sprang
from the brains of wise statesmen the
millions Of greenbacks ready to save
the menaced nationality. They shell
tered, fed, clothed and armed the SOL
diers; built ironclads and manned them
not alone for the union, but for the con-
federacy as well. With the aid of the
boys in blue they conquered. Peace
once here, the coward, gold, whose en-
isaries had traitorously crippled the
nation by crippling the greenback, re-
turned, and has been for thirty years
waging subtle and insidious war upon
the national life by seeking to destroy
the savior Of '65-the greenback. Now
the warfare is open and ayowed. The
battle is on, it is Gold VS.. Greenback,
viii the American patriots stand firm?
Will the G. A. r. see its eomrade de-
feated? Will the son of the veteran see
the power that saved, through his
father, liberty for him, destroyed?
Traitors they who cry out against the
Teenback! 1t is as much a sign Of
nationality and sovereignty as is the
flag. Shoot him on the spot who hauls
down one" is the cry. OF the two the
greenback has most power, and he
who decrys that should be exported
with gold to some country where liber-
ty is not. Beware of any cry that does
not include all the Omaha platform. Let
not our ranks be divided by the silver
issue. The whole includes all its parts.
The Peoples party includes free silver
and more. Encourage the free silver
discussion in the old parties, but Shout
der to shoulder forward under the
banner on which is money, land and
transportation. To that banner all
shall yet rally, and the first battle
grOund-the silver dollar-only pre-
pares the way for the victory for the
legal tender paper. Let dissention
rage and disrupt the old. All frag-
ments thrown off by sehism will unite
with this large young party that has
no leveller and acknowledges no au-
thority but truth and justice. AS well
curtail the declaration of 1776 as that
at Omaha. Rejoice in the new parties
and stand firm on the platform now
builded, and unto which they shall
step. After taking the first silver step
the other two will be easy. The dawn
ing light of victory is in these signs Of
disintegration in the old.
Every crumbling altar stone
That falls upon the ways Of time,
Eternal wisdom has o'erthrown
To build a temple more sublime"

That Republican Wave"

The wave of republican prosperity
that struck this country last fall, as a
result of the election, is still rolling.
Only few weeks ago number of men
unable to obtain employment were ar
rested, se:tenctd as Migrants, chained
together at the ,kles and forced to
work on the streets in Des Moines, in
republican Iowa, when the thermome-
ter was 10 degrees below zero, and the
wind blowing hurricane. On the day
the above incident occurred other men,
who were fortunate enough in finding
employment were shoveling sand from
the Des Mo!nes river bottom at so cents
a day. Still other men were working
upon the streets of Washington, the
capital city of the nation, at so cents
a day.
Investigation shows that the average
wages of the coal miners in the Hook
ing Valley, Ohio, district is u cents a
day! Farm hands all over the country
are working for IS and $40 a month
and some as low as S6 and 81.
Cotton goes from the producer at
less than 4 cents pound in many in
stances. while wheat has simply struck
bed rock.
Only few weeks ago over 135, 900
families applied for help in the city of
New York in a period of eight days.
With an average of four persons to
each family there were more than a
half million people in that great city
in a destitute condition! Every city,
town and hamlet in the country has a
proportional number Of those who re-
quire charitable aid, and yet in the
light of these astounding facts-with
distress and restitution on every hand
people suffering with hunger and
cold, with millions half fed and half
clothed, those who proclaim this anon
alous condition of the country are de-
nounced by the heartless classes who
have produced these conditions, and
their thoughtless and stupid followers
as calamity howlers, and creating dis
content among the people.
In looking around for the promised
wave of prosperity that was to follow
the republican victory" of last fall
even the optimist fails to find it. The
truth is it was only the superficial and
very foolish people who expected any
+ improvement to follow as a result Of
the election. There must be a change
Of conditions, and this can only be
brought about by a change Of policy
radically different from the present
financial policy of the government
fostered and sustained by both of the
old parties.
To Keep on voting for either one Of
the old parties at this time, consider.
ing the distress they have brought
upon the country, is little short Of {
crime.

Say, friends, you have been petition
ing congress for years to do this and do
that, asking your servants to do what
they promised to do and what you have
all the time had the right to command
them to do as your public servants,
but what good have you accomplished?
Isn't the petitioning business getting
old-a very much of back number?
Doesn't it make you weary to thiDk Of
the petitions you have signed and the
hearings" you have read about? Why
not end this Sort Of nonsense by elect
ing men who will go to congress or the
legislature and do what they were
sent to do? You can do it, but you
must get away from the rotten politi-
clans, the caucus, and the machine"
and elect men whose interests are iden-
titled with your interests-not jack
leg lawyers and professional politi-
clans.

Few people realize the necessity of
varying the clothing according to the

a sealskin sacque or a heavy wrap in
weather which demands nothing warm
er than a coat Of light cloth. It was the
Duke Of Wellington who was credited
with possessing fourteen overcoats.
from which he selected each day the
one best suited to the prevailing tenn
perature, and perhaps his carefulness
in this matter had mich to do with the
fact that he lived to the advanced age
Of 81.

session the day before the final ad-
journment of the Fifty-third congress.
Congress was not only in session all
day, but a number of member took
the occasion to wind up" by getting
uproariously drunk, several members
being so far gone that they had to be
removed from the floor Of the house.

A bond is debt; greenback or
treasury note is debt. The bond
draws interest and absorbs the profits
of productive labor. The greenback
draws no interest, gives labor employ
ment, develops the resources of the
country, and brings prosperity. Bonds
bled the country; the greenback saved
it. The bond is a robber; the green
back is patriot and blessing. The
two old parties represent bonds; the
young and growing Peoples party rep
resents greenbacks.

We would suggest to all Populists to
refrain from making presidential nom
nations in 1896. This is premature.
Lots of things will happen before it is
time to make nominations, and the ad-
vocacy of individuals will prove a dis
turbing issue. The right men will be
found at the right time. Wait for
events. There is another congress to
come yet, and long one at that. It
is sure to do many fool things that will
feed the reform fame. The thing to
do during the next twelve months is
to educate, especially to circulate our
papers and literature. Get the readers
for Populist papers and they will do
the rest.-Non Conformist. 90
