Notwithstanding the Republican wave of
last year, l am full of courage and believe
events must and will precipitate conditions
before November, 1896, which will result
in a popular upheaval, which will give our
party large plurality of the votes cast

the people in an attempt to hold possession
of the nation by fraud and force. However,
we will not cross any rivers until we reach
them. 1t may be that the kings of usury,
on their golden thrones, will tremble be-
fore the voice of many waters, and accept
the inevitable in peace
We more than doubled our vote in Cali

To the Editor:

party, and believe if all true reformers will
lay aside their petty differences and stick
to ''the middle of the road and the Omaha
platform (no matter what bait the Repub-
licans throw OUT, victory is ours in go
I enclose letter from one of those aris-
tocratic apostles of that sanctimonious {?
party Republican), that lays claim to be
the only party that the people can place
any dependence upon to rescue the country
from the thraldom of debt and ruin. And
if they adopt steal a portion of the
Peoples party platform, they will proba-
bly, hoodwink lot of fools to believe they
will keep their promises. They will for
get or know nothing about the demonetiza-
ton of silver. Any man that will vote for
either old party in 1885, especially if he
works for a living. deserves to be a life
long slave to Plutocracy. Fraternally,

Chase, Esq, Barry. Mnn.-Friend J. E.. :
Your very welcome letter came while l was
away from home, and l have just read it.
l return you the old note, and hope that
in the future you will prosper to that ex-
tent that you will not find it necessary
to renew them for anybody. There is
much logic in what you say, but if l am
not much mistaken, the Republicans pro-
pose to take away the founda tons of the
Peoples party by the adoption of the prin-
ciples that were most strongly advocated
by the last named party, such as, for in
stance the election of United States sena-
tors by the people. and the placing of gov
eminent bonds, when necessary to issue
them, with the poor or middle class by
making them small enough to be handled
by such parties. These and other meas
ures advocated by the Peoples party are
now being brought forward by the Repub-
licans as something new. However, lack
of time prevents me from writing further
on the subject. u Hoping you are all well,

publican rule? Perhaps you think we are
to have silver remonetized should Repub-
leans guide the ship of state. Don't be
foolish enough to try and live on promises
any longer, but read up on the monetary
system, and the record of the Republican
party for the past 8 years. You might be
surprised at the strenuous efforts OF said
party to make you prosperous and happy.
Don't forget to peruse the tariff, the pro-
lection to the laboring man. Oh, what
blessing it has been, Ito the corporatlons)
the protective tariff bill! The Lord only
knows how we would have weathered the
panic of '73 if it hadn't been for Bill Nc
Kinley's bill.

It's very nearly due;
We never can remove 1t
And the futures awful blue.
And often times in thoughtless sleep
We very near forget
How thankful we should be to know
We have the tariff yet.
''And when election days at hand
Well come from far and near;
And vote the same old ticket
We've voted year by year.
We realize we all will get
Still deeper into debt.
But still we love the G. 0. p

sHRILLER THAN A FOGHORN.
How the Twisting Of Pigs Tail
Saved COasting Schooner From

Disaster. -aa
A coasting schooner was becalmed in
fog off Cutler somewhere, says the San
Francisco Argonaut. 1t was a genuine
Bay of Fundy fog, of the same variety
that the man inadvertently nailed an ex-
ira course on to while shingling his house.
You couldn't see the end of the bowsprit
from the foremost, and man up aloft
might have been 10 miles from earth for
all that he could see. Not a breath of
wind was stirring and the sails only slat-
ted laZily as the vessel rolled on the swell.
The skipper was anxious, for he was right
in the track of the ocean steamers, one Of
which just about due. He commanded
the lookout to keep the tin horn sounding
vigorously Alas, the man carelessly laid
the horn down on the rail for a moment
and it rolled overheard. The delinquent
was treated to liberal dose of profanity,
but of what use was that? Presently the
whistle of steamer was heard through
the fog and the noise of the paddles as
they tore up the water. She was evidently
bearing right down upon them. Skipper
and crew shouted till their lungs were
sore, beat on pans from the galley, but to
no purpose Every instant they expected
to be sunk by the on-rushing steamer
Suddenly the shippers eye fell upon
lusty young pig who was being transport
ed in a temporary pen In trice that
porker was out powerful sailor gripped
his tail with pair of pincers and gave a
twist with the energy born of despair.
Heavens!what squeal rent the atmo-
sphere. Keep it up! Keep it up!' yelled
the skipper, as he danced up and down
with excitement. The blasts Of the steam
er's whistle redoubled in frequency and her
machinery stopped. In few moments
her outlines emerged from the mist right
over the schooner. Half the crew and pas
sengers were on the forward deck. The
captain leaned over the rail and shouted:
You blank dashed son of dash blanked
lubber, what in dash blank blank to dash
and return are you trying to do? I'm
BANKED if l didn't think 1 was going
ashore right in the middle of a dashed
