You may cry protective tariff
Till you shout your hair off,
And conditions will remain abont

For it goes without the akin.
Justice never comes by taxin',
And tariff tax is Just another name
You may make the laws quite

With free silver I'll you're weary,
And plutocratc robbery will not
stop;
For If the money is not equal,
No good will be the sequel,
The money-grabbers still will be on
top.
No use to shout and hollcr
For "sonnd and honest" dollar,
With system based on robbery
and theft,
For It's gold appreciation
That has paupe rizcd the nation
And the masses in the struggle have

Then, voters, don't be fed on

sEwALL's LETTER TO BRYAN.
Asked Him to do What he Thought
Best About Populist Nomination.

Chicago. Sept. 3.-Chairman Jones,
of the Democratic National commit
tee. has made public a letter to VIM.
]. BRYAN, from Arthur Sewall, appar-
emily dated July rs, at which time
the Populist convention was in session.
The letter, which is exciting great
deal of comment, reads as follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Bryan; In view of the
action of the st. Louis convention to-
day / cannot refrain from giving you
my thoughts on the situation.
my advices are that you have been
nominated as candidate for President
and Mr.. Watson for Vice-President. /
also learn through the press dis
patches that you are somewhat unde-
cided whether you ought to accept or
decline. Now, | desire to say to you
with the utmost frankness and good
feeling that you must not allow any
personal consideration for me to in
fluence you in your action.
81 desire YOU will do just what you
believe is best for the success of the
head of our ticket. The principles we
are fighting for are so paramount to
any personal consideration that the
latter should not have any weight or
influence Whatever Win y Ou4 eNSGA0A'
Il cannot for moment allow my
self to be a factor in any action on
your part that would in the slightest
degree hazard an electoral vote for you.
with kind regards to Mrs. Bryan,
believe me, your sincere friend,
ARTHUR SEWALL.
Bath, Maine, July rs. 1896.
The Democratic managers at head
quarters insisted that the letter had no
further significance than that Mr..
BRYAN would consent to receive form
al notification from the Populists in
the future, and the publication was to
forestall all rumors as to the attitude
of Mr.. Sewall.
Accompanying the letter is an unof-
fetal statement to the effect that "sev-
eral days ago Chairman Jones wrote
a letter to Mr.. Sewall stating to him
that many Democrats throughout the
country and especially throughout
the West were Directing to fusion with
the Populists on electoral tickets, for
the reason that they did not wish to
be disloyal to Mr. Sewall. In reply to
. Chairman Jones, Mr.. Sewal forwarded
the foregoing copy of the letter writ
ten to Mr.. Bryan"

MR.. MAssEY's CANDIDACY.

The Republicans of the Fourth dls'
trict have named Mr.. p. III. Massey as
their candidate for Congress, and he
has accepted with declaration that he
will make his campaign as an advocate
of the single gold standard. Remark
ing on this, the editor of the New York
Nation, the high priest of Goldbugism
says:
THAT is an excellent example
which the sound-money men of
both parties are setting in the Raj
eigh district of North Carolina
The present Representative is
Populist, who is of course a silver
man, and who owed his success two
years ago to the support of the Re
publicans. He has been renomi-
mated by the Populists. The DEM
ocrats have nominated a candidate,
who is also for free coinage. I'm
der these circumstances the Re
publicans have put up a man who
is a pronounced advocate of the
rold standard, and he will be sup
ported also by those Democrats
who believe in sound money.
Democrats of this school communl-
Gated with the leaders of the Re-
publican party in the district be-
fore the latter made it's nomina-
ton. and asked that man be Sc
lected whom they could accept be-
cause he was right on the burning
issue"
Two years ago Mr.. Massey claimed tc
be a stronger silver man than either
Mr.. Strowd or Capt. Cooke. Now ne
is the hope of the advocates of the
gold standard, and the Nation halls
him as leader of sound money" il
North Carolina, and calls upon Demo
Gratis who believe in gold to rally t.
his standard With the silver forces di
vided, Mr. Massey believes he will be
able to poll $4,000 votes against tota
$4,000 for the two silver candidates
and win. The district is reliably foI
silver, but if it is divided, Mr.. Massey's
calculation may work out. But the
Democrats win contest every inch OF
ground with him.

SENATOR PRITCHARD'S FAIRY
TALES.

Senator Pritchard was i'm Washing
ton yesterday, and told reporter of
the Post some remarkable stories.
We give only two:
L. That the tariff is the dominant
issue in North Carolina. The Senator
had to go to Washington to find this
out. 1t is silly for any man to say that
North Carolinians are thinking about
the tariff this year, when nobody ex-
cept Mr.. Pritchard has said word
about it in twelve months.
2. That silver Republicans will sup
port Mckinley because they prefer ito
trust a Republican administration to
bring about bi-metallism rather than
a Democratic administration" If
there are any such Republicans in
North Carolina, they evidently put no
faith in the solemn promise of the Re
publican National convention Ito pre-
serve the existing gold standard" ~
1t was only few months ago that
Senator Pritchard was declaring gold
monometallism would bring ruin on
the people. Now he says he has chang
ed his opinion. Very well. He has a
right to take his orders from Mark
Hanna, and to declare for gold, but the
people will have no confidence in hmm
or any other silver man who supports
Mckinley, because they prefer tC
trust Republican administration to
bring about bi-metallism"-t very
thing the party is pledged not to bring
about.

FUSION IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Senator Butler Advises the Populists
Against 1t.

Clarkburg, w. Va, Sept 3-The
Populist and Democratic State commit
tees are comforting here in regard to
fusion on the National and State
tickets. The Populists are standing
on their dignity and propose to have
at least two of the State electors for
Watson. If this is not granted them
they are determined to keep in the
middle of the road and nominate a
straight Populist ticket.
Ralph Snyder is present but has not
yet accepted the nomination rendered
him. If he does not do SO the party
will nominate an out-and-out Populist
for Governor. The Populist committee
is in correspondence with Senator But
Ter, who, it is said, advises them to
maintain their individuality as party.

''They abandon for Republican

feat Bryan whom the Republicans are

views. In view of their position, this
