 oppression and plutocracy. Some
 fostered her plutocracy and finally
 her ruin by the spells of conquered
 countries; the Republican barty has created a plutocraey, the richest on
 the face of the earth, by the sneak ing and unmanly system of taxing our own people under the rascally pretense of protection to enrich lobbyists, eorruptionists and favor. ties.
 The Democratic party has no issue with men who have inherited their wealth, or who have aceumu. lated it by energy, industry and wealth. The Democratic party makes no War upon the rich. A country without rich men would never advance a step in civilization. Rich men have built our asylums. our universities, our churches, our great public institutions. and their investments of thoir money have enriched the republic and their charities have been chief among the revenues used to carry out the most sacred preeepts of the Master to provide for the poor and needy
 The war of the Democratic party. then, the fight for Bryan, is not against the rich. It is against a plutoeraey created by corruption and favoritism and that has not a principle of honesty, not drop of honest weat; not the first strain of honest muscle in it. A plutocracy not born of honest thrift, but a blu toeracy hell-born, created by every agency that is antagonistic to honor and justice the Republican govern ment, and which, in it's nature, an- tagonizes Republican government, and hence is living threat to the liberties of the people,,
 Yesterday we printed a cartoon from the Chicago Dispatch in which Trusts, the progeny of hell and to which Mckinley is subseryient, is represented in all it's horrors, before which the wage -earner in terror is holding to Lis bosom his half starved babe and interposing his own helpless body between his terrified wife and the monster. The cartoon is not overdrawn. It is one of the best we have seen. The tusks of the Trusts are dripping with blood; it's feet are fresh from trampling upon the hearts of widows and orphans at fresides unkindled because of the coal trust, its iron hands are wet with the tears of want and suffering and toil It stalks in all it's terrors over the poor and needy, the wage-earner and the farmer, and well it ejacu- lates
 Here judge if hell with all it's power to
 damn
 Gan add one curse to the foul thing am.
 Such is the master that Mckinley dares not denounce. Such is the monster the Republican party has spawned to strike the homes of our people with poverty, our trade with paralysis, our fields with sterility and to trample upon our liberties, and this is the monster dark and foul and hideous, that William Jen- nings Bryan confronts;and the issue before the American people is, shall the Trusts, born of hell, or shall the young soldier who has come out of the West at the bidding of our al- most hopeless people, win control of the American Republic.

In case Bryan is elected, Senator Jones would most likely get cabi- net port folio, which we earnestly desire. A United States Senator would have to be elected, and we sincerely hope that our legislators will select one of the four following gentlemen for the place: Hon. W. II. Langford, of Pine Bluff; Gov. James P. Clark; Judge E. E. Bry- ant, of Fort Smith, or Col. W. M. Flshback, of Fort Smith. No mis- take would be made if either one of the above named gentlemen were elected. -Rison Bazoo.

We are not in favor of fusion as a gensral thing, especially with peo- pie so devoid of patriotism and prin- ciple as the Populist leaders of the State have proven themselves to be in the present contest, but as MT. Bryan IS the nominee of the Popu- list aggregation as well as the Democratic party, We can see no harm in fusing if anything is to be gained elsewhere by the sacrifice which must necessarily attend such action.
