Party organization for future use; and,
by making an alliance with the bolting
Republicans, the Populists will Outnum-
Der the Democrats, and make them the
third party at the polls next November.
Second. If the combination ticket is
successful, the Populists will have either
the president or vice president, and will
also be in position to demand an equal
share of the federal patronage including
the cabinet and foreign appointments.
Third. Every Democratic newspaper,
especially the daily press, will be COM
PEELED to treat the Populists on equal
terms with the Democrats. This will
give the Populists a daily press in the
South and West.
Fourth. The Populist party has the
best literature on the silver and money
questions which will be in. great demand,
and the Democrats will have to help
circulate it.
Fifth. In the South, the Democrats
will be compelled to give Populists fair
count and a representation at the polls;
because, if an alliance is made between
the two parties, ballot-box stuf1ing and
counting out" won't co.
Sixth It will preserve the Populist
press and make it more powerful than
at luc lCoSI1L Clulc. lAlS alone OuR1C
to appeal to every Populist paper in the
land to oppose the idea of becoming an
annex, in the place of an ally.
Seventh. When that portion of the
Pcpulist platform, upon which Demo-
Gratis agree, is enacted into law, the Pop
ulsts can continue to educate the peo-
pie on the other demands of the plat
form.
Thes are the two roads which confront
the Populist and Silver parties at their
national conventions. Do these parties
possess enough craftsmanship and gen.
eralship to take advantage of the situa-
tion and become an ally in the place of
an annexe Will they preserve party
identity and prove to the world that they
are able to cope with the most astute
politicians of this generation, or will
they surrender their principles and or
ganization at the behests of an opponent
which has never let an opportunity es-
cape to stab them to death?

VOICELESS SUFFERING.

Much Of the suffering caused by the
existing business depression is voice.
less. The public does not hear OF it.
or know Of it. and thus has no COM
prehension of its dimensions or its in
tensity. But, now and then, some
fact turns up which indicates what
the idle workingmen have to endure.
On Monday Of last week one Of our
daily papers contained a list Of the
city properties sold by the sheriff OF
Philadelphia county on the preceding
day. In this list were fifty-one two
story houses, most Of them, no doubt,
vertisementS of sheriff'S sales, for
some time past, indicate that such
sacrifice have become common. After
years of thrift. OF industry, of eager
purpose to secure for themselves
homes, the owners Of these little
properties have all been swept away
because disagreement at Washing
ton has half paralyzed the business OF
a nation. which, under right directions
of its affairs, would have prosperity.
Take another fact: In 1889 more than
1000 men who farmed their own land
in Pennsylvania in 1850 had disappear
ed and given place to 5000 tenant
farmers. The houses are being taken
from the small owners in the city.
The land is snatched from the small
owners in the country. It is not DIM
cult to imagine the feelings with
which such men perceive certain
financiers, who produce nothing.
pocketing millions of dollars profit
from single transactions with the peo-
ple's treasury. Surely the sufferers
and their friends, voiceless now. will
find at the polls expression for their.
wrath and their misery. Philadel-
phla Manufacturer.

has really more democratic institutions than
the United States. For instance, the gov
ernments Of the various colonies own all
their railroads and also the telegraph and
postoffice.
"Once the government of any country al
lows big syndicates ard corporations to de-
veIop the resources Of the nation, it is a
very serious and difficult matter to curtail
their privileges, and the fact of private mo-
nopoly running everything in this country
is grand object lesson to the present poll
ticians in Australia.
Although Australia can boast Of having
the best climate in the world and is richly
endowed with some splendid soil and min
eral elements for general natural resources,
however, l think the United States stands
out par excellence the greatest country on
the face Of the globe. Let this great coun-
try inaugurate system of good manage
ment, and it would be the happiest nation
on the earth.
"New Zealand has honest and honorable
politicians, which Australia has not. and
this explains why New Zealand is the hap
piest English-spea country on the globe
today.
New Zealand is the only English speak
ing country I know of where workingmen
sit in the highest branch of the legislature
and submit to no injustice from the auto
cratic representatives of capital. And why
should this not be so? Why should leg:sla-
tion be always framed in the interests of
the moneyed classes?
when the Balance Seddon administra-
ton went into power the capitalist;c party
howled socialism, confiscation, anarchy,
etc. Instead of that what do we see today
nd
der fair and honest land laws and more
equitable taxation; labor disputes are set
tied by arbitration; and capital, instead of
leaving the country, is pouring in from
every part of the world. For this reason it
is safe when invested there.
ITO sum up: The New Zealand govern
ment is determined to protect the masses of
the people against the greed Of modern
capitalists, and in SO doing has won the
gratitude of one of the finest communities l
have ever seen."
Can we not do what New Zealand has
done? Are we willing to confess that we
cannot? Are they better men than we?

WHICH rs BEST?
Shall We BE the Annex or the Ally
E of the Democratic Party.
THE WHOLE SUBJECT CON-
SIDERED.

We have received from very prom
inent Populist in St. Louis the follow
ing important letter.
Read and reflect.
The all absorbing question now agi-
tating the political world is, what will
the Peoples Party and the Silver party
do at their respective conventions to be
held in St. Louis July %?
In order to restore silver to its lawful
place and make combination with the
Democrats, they must do one of two
things:
First. Endorse the Democratic ticket
at Chicago and merge into the Demo-
cratic party; or,
Second. Nominate ticket of their
own and enter into an agreement with
the Democrats on one set of electors.
If the first policy is pursued, the Peo-
pies Party will lose it's identity; and, for
the following reasons, become an annex
to the Democratic party:
First. Whenever one party endorses
the national ticket of another it has no
further excuse to exist
legislative and county candidates in the
Peoples Party. with the exception of. a
few western states, will have to resign,
because, it will be impossible for the
Populist candidates to make fight for
their local tickets, when the party, ma,
| tionally, endorses the Chicago nominees.
Third. The Populist and Silver parties
will lose their organizations, as they
will go to pieces after the November
election and become part Of the Dem
| ocratic machine
Fourth. The Populist press, which is
a powerful factor with an organization
behind it, would disappear, and be dis
placed by the Democratic press, and the
Populist editors turned down.
Fifth. Should the Populist party en-
dorse the Democratic nominees, and that
ticket be successful at the polls next No
yember, the Populists would not be in
q position to demand anything, except
what Democratic administration may
dole out to them.
Sixth. If the Populist and Silver par
ties merge into the Democratic party,
the Democratic administration will carry
out the Democratic platform as regards
paper money redeemable in coin, and no
more; while all other reforms, demanded
Ny Inc fOpullStS. Will nave 10 walt uQLll
another new party forces an old one to
take them up, as the Peoples Party has
forced the Democratic party to take up
the money question.
Seventh. II the PopiIfst convention
endorse Mr.. Bryan it cannot deliver
more than 66 per cent Of the Peoples
Party voters to the Democratic candi-
date. The disaffection caused by such a
course will keep a large number of Popu-
lists, who are bitterly opposed to sur
rendering the Peoples Party, at home on
election day. This loss alone would be
sufficient to elect Mckinley electors ii
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and many
other states.
SECOND.
On the other hand, suppose the Popu-
list and Silver parties consolidate and
pursue q policy Of nominating a ticket
of their own and unite with the Demo
Gratis on electors; what will then be their
status before the country?
In the place Of an annex to the Demo-
cratic party they Will be come an ally,
