warned the Peoples party that its
managers were pursuing a dangerous
course in giving undue prominence in
their campaigns to free coinage; that
should either of the old parties take up
free silver, voters would say to US:
"Free silver is the oneimportsnt thing,
and as my own party has declared for
that, pray why should | become Pop
ulistP" But I was not needed. / was

National Chairman, had not been
''rubbing up against" anything. Last
January the Bimetallic Union kindly
sent its proxies to st. Louis to hold
meeting of our National committee for
US and call a National convention; and,
in our name, to invite the Bimetallic
Union to hold free silver convention
at the same time and place, with the
ultimate design of having both con,
Ventions meet as one. In our name,
that meeting passed resolutions declsr-
ing in substance that free coin
age was to be our domi-
nsnt issue this year, to which, for
the sake of "union," we would cheer
fully subordinate everything else, con-
science included; and those resolutions
were widely published. State conVen-
tions have been visited and induced to
adopt similar resolutions - those
adopted by the Kansas convention, and
which made every true POpulist blush
for his party, being, perhaps, the most
cowsrdly of all. OF all the magnificent
reform press of two years ago, only
comparatively few papers have re-
NAMED true to our principles; the rest
have, for months, preached nothing
but free silver and "uniication of all
reform forces at st. Louis" Speakers
have been sent out to proclaim free
silver as all of Populism. Papers and
speakers have called believers in the
Omaha platform extremists" who
should be "relegated to the rear" one

call them "trsitors to the peoples

been urging, whenever I could get a
hearing, that, should the Democrats
nominate free silver candidates on a

and papers would enable them to con-

have we not been loudly proclaiming

tsnce of union of all In favor Of free
coinsgeP And by merely keeping up
our party organization, would we not
be dividing the free silver vote? 1

The genuine Populist papers have
ceaselessly warned our alleged leaders
that no free silver party existed; that
the st. Louis silver convention, if held
at all, would represent only a myth;
that old party free silver men were still
In the old parties, and that most of
them would likely stay there; that our
leaders were leading US directly to
where an old party ambush had been
carefully provided for US. In vain.

the National government, save to settle
the money question. Every reader OF
the correspondence Of Washington,
Madison and others even the reader
of the introduction to Story's work on
the constitution knows that the prin-
cipal, If not the only object of those
who insisted upon the adoption of the
federal constitution was to prevent the
possibility Of just such reforms as the
Peoples party now seeks to accom-
pllsh; that their aim was to take away
the power of the people acting through
their States, because that power had
become dangerous to the wealthy class
and threatened its supremacy. The
constitution, therefore, closed the door
against amendments. As Patrick
Henry so solemnly warned the Virginia
convention-"The way to amendments
Is shutp Aside from the money ques-
tion, we can get no national reforms
without amendments; and In order to
carry q single amendment, we must
not only have a two-thirds majority In
each house Of Congress, but control of
both houses of the Legislature in
thirty, four States! Is this a hopeful
outlookP But the repeal of certain
acts of Congress, possible at any ses-
sion, would deprive the Federal courts
Of all power to reverse State courts
save In international treaty cases which
might involve the government In war;
would deprive Federal Judges Of the
power to strike down State legislation
by enjoining q sovereign States Off.
GERS from putting 1t In force. With
the Federal courts no longer supreme
over the people, then, through State
legislation and the ready amendment
of State constitutions we could accom-
plish any reform the people might de
sire. With unimportsnt exceptions
the federal constitution has Leer

amendments, without which the pee
pie would have had no rights left then

ment had yet got upon its feet; and
the other amendments were added as
the result of five years of bloody con
flict, and were forced upon several
even then, by the recon
acts. No, brethren; the ma
tlonal government Is not our reforming
We need free States as our
Instruments. To be answered that
this means "the exploded doctrine Of
State sovereignty" is to be given q
FOOLS answer. The State sovereignty
contended for and settled by the Civil
war was nothing but the right Of q
State to secede; the internal soVer-
eighty Of the States was not involved,
but was distinctly recognized after the

keeping one eye on some other party to
observe the effect. OF course, we can.
not hope to have the enthusiasm of
1892 in the st. Louis convention. Too
many office.crszy practical politi-
clans" have been chosen delegates.
Their very presence must be a wet
blanket upon delegates whose hearts
thrOb with genuine sympathy for the
suffering people. But we can have the
old enthusiasm In our campaign, for
our speakers can scarce be limited to
the discussion of free silver, seeing
that another party is to have that as its
entire stock In trade.
The National convention will thus
give to the party's electors when chosen
the full authority of the party, If its
own candidates should be defeated at
the polls, to bring about the "union"
so much talked of at a time when it
could not, in the nature of things, be
accomplished and when the talk could
do US nothing but harm. Knowing in
advance Of our incllnstions and the
long. proved loyalty Of our party to free
silver, it ought not to be difficult for
all free silver men, Of whatever party,
to agree with US on single Electoral
tickets in the States; while, on the
other hand, as the Electors. whatever
their own opinions, would be pledged
to vote for the candidates Of the party
whose Electors they were If those can
didstes could be elected, we need not
be unreasonable In agreeing with others
upon Electoral tickets. Should this
plan be adopted, which in fact Is the
plan of the constitution restored In
part, the position of Elsctor must no
longer be regarded as merely orns-
mental, but the very ablest and most
trustworthy men should be chosen, for
they may have to deal with conditions
which no one now foresees and which
will require the Wisest and most con-
summate Statesmsnshlp to deal with
properly In the interest of the common
people. That the Electors should be
the very ablest and best men to be had,
Is 80 extremely important in view Of
the rspidity with which events move In
these days, so that utterly unthought-
of things may happen within the short
period between the conventions and
the elections, the reader must pardon
me for repeating the suggestion. L
have thought much of this matter; l
have long observed events and omens
of events with the eye of reformer;
and 1 foresee that grave conditions
may confront US this fall and demand
to be grappled with, although 1 do not
now know what those conditions may
be. Perhaps mere party differences
may become quite trivial by compari-
son before another President takes
President Clevelsnd's place In the
White House-or attempts to take it.
l think l will be understood without
further elaboration of this topic. Every
dispsssionste observer Of the times
must, for similar reasons, see the de-
sirsbility of remitting to the Electors
the entire question Of union under a
convention resolution as l have pro-
posed; and l greatly misjudge If my
