After Jerry Now.

1t is the hit dog that bowls, and judg-
ing from the bowls now going up from
the democrats all over the country the
Nashville conference was blow in the
''solar plexus" of the free silver pie
eating aggregation. Even Jerry Simp-
hosiery notoriety, gives a two-column
interview at the middle of the readers
through that journals tic bastard sheet,
the Atlanta Constitution, in which he
says "the substantial men of the south
who were driven from the Democratic
folds will return to the Democratic
party, the real party of the people, and
battle Tor the peoples rights" If
Jerry could have peeped in on the
Nashville conference composed of more
than 1000 veterans of the Populist ar
my, not one of whom held proxy nor
permit from the pie eating pimps of
plutocracy, we think he would modify
his statement If such men as Ignati-
us Donnelly, w. S. Morgan, Jesse
Harper, Harry Tracy, j. j. Streeter
and host of others of equal promi-
nence are not Representative Populists,
we would like to know who are. The
Nashville conference was an emphatic
countermand of the Populist funeral
ceremonies and a slough off of fungus
that fusion had produced. Milton Park

list party in Virginia was dead last
fall. Its only paper was forced to sus-
pend publication. Its executive com
mittee issued an address advising Pop
ulists to vote the Democratic ticket, as
there was no Populist ticket to vote for
in Virginia. Butlerism was on top,
But at the state convention this
week the Populists pulled themselves
together and shook off this deadly flu
sion blight. Fusion was given black
eye, a middle of the road platform
adopted, and straight Populist ticket
put in the field.
The Virginia Populists have enough
of fusion. Neither Watson nor Butler
was mentioned, as it was a fight for
principle and not men. But he must
be dull indeed who does not know that
when fusion is given a black eye in a
Populist convention, Butlerism sees a
brilliant stellar display.-Daily Tri-
bune.

Fusion Means Pie,

"Give me Populism to fight for and 1
am yours to count on until death do us
part. Thomas E. Watson.
Such is the late utterance of the
greatest exponent of Populism that
ever lived, and such is the feeling and
statement of every real Populist in
America.
Mr. Watson puts the world on notice
that Mr.. Marion Butler is not repre-
senting his idea of Populism, and that
he doesn't intend to work under
Marion's bell.
Tom Watson makes it clear that
fusion does not mean Populism, but
that fusion means pie.
Marion Butler may be honest in the
contention that fusion means Populism,
just as Paul was honest in his convic-
ton that he was serving God by killing
Chris 5ians, but we take the privilege
of believing that Marion is just as much
mistaken as Paul was.
The Pilot is fully persuaded that But
ler's course in the last campaign was
dictated by the desire to feather his
own nest regardless of what became of
the Populist party in the future.
In other words we believe him to be
hybrid bastard of the two old parties
and carrying the name of Populist, in
order to legitimise him for the purpose
of holding Office.
The Pilot is not disposed to give up
the contention for the greater princi
plies of our party in order that the sill
yer monopoly may be foisted upen the
people again, this time with Rothschild
owning controlling interest in the sill
yer mines.
We had great deal rather see gold
and silver demonetized and sensible
patriotic system of finance for Amer
leans, issued by the peoples represen-
tatives for the people and based upon
the taxing and producing power of the
nation, than to see lot of place hun
tiers go to Office under the banner of
free silver, over the grave of American
intelligence and patriotism.
If free silver is all there is in Popu-
lism, as Senators Stewart, Allen, Simp-
son and Butler seem to think, then we
admit that we are not much of Pop
ulist.
And we, like our standard bearer,
T. E. Watson, do not intend to be led
into the camp of the enemy by such
traitors as the above named Senators.
We have been in the fight for the ben
eft of the masses too long to be fooled
by the tricks of such would be bosses.
We therefore put Mr.. Butler on no.
tice that we repudiate him not alone as
a leader but as Populist.
We had rather have one Watson to
lead us in the fight for reform than all
the Buffers ever born.-Upson Pilot.

The Democrats look to Senator But
Ter to save them from destruction.
The Tribune predicted that the Demo-
cratic press would begin to say all man
ner of pleasant things about him, as
they do of Gen. Weaver since he has
entered the Democratic fold. Our pre-
diction is being verified.
The Nashville Sun, under the cap
ton, "First Blood for Butler talks in
approved mossback style, exposing its
| ignorance while it taffies the man who
is looked to save the dear old party. 1t
says:
We have been waiting ever since
that so-called conference of the Mid
dlers in Nashville to see what the Pop
ulists throughout the country were
going to do about it. We confess that
we were very much Interested Tom
Watson's pyrotechnic way of going
about things challenged our attention
After reading few columns of Watso-
MAN fire and birthstone we began to
wonder how Marion Butler had the
temerity to remain on the earth and
concluded that his continued serene
existence was only brought about by a
special dispensation from Tom Watson.
What is our amazement, however,
to notice that the first State Populite
Convention to be held since that Nash
Vile conference biffs Watson squarely
in the eye and walks off with Butler
without so much as saying "Good
Evening" That was the Virginia
Popullst Convention held yesterday.
We shall continue to watch for further
developments, but our chunk of faith
in Watson has melted down considers
BILE. In fact, there are moments when
we are almost led to the conclusion
that all the Tom Watson men in the
universe were present at the Nashville
conference except Tom Watson him
self"
This is refreshing. How it would
delight hungry cow to happen upon
such spot of green as she meandered
around in search of something fresh
and juicy. The Virginia Populists
biffed Watson between the eyes and
walked off with Butler-that is rich.
Last year the Butler program was
carried to such an extent in Virginia
that the Populist party was completely
swallowed by the Democrats. They
entered into Buffers fusion trap, and
having been caught, were treated with
contempt and insultingly refused any
recognition on the electoral ticket.
To all intents and PURPOSES the Popu-

Pingree on tho Tariff.

Governor Pingree of Michigan wired
President Mckinley and others few
days ago as follows;
81 regard the duty on lumber, hides
and sugar as unrepublican, unpatriotic
and unfair.
1.-THE lumber now used goes largely
into small homes and farm houses and
to class already greatly overtaxed.
The laborer wears twice as many shoes
as the millionaire and must contribute
twice as much for the tax on hides.
"He must use as much sugar and pay
as much toward the duty on sugar.
at is grossly unfair to make the
poor pay as much per capita as the
rich toward the support of the Govern
ment. Property and not human stom-
ach should be reached. Property is
protected by our laws and should pay
for its protection"
People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1897-08-06

pie to protect another part, under the
sham pretense of raising revenue, is a
crime, and under this bill stands out
before the world as speculative out
law.
There was no excuse or reason for
this extra session of Congress and the
enactment of this Dingley bill but to
tax the people that the trusts, who
gave their millions to elect Mr.. Nc
Kinley president, should have their
possible.
Mr.. Speaker, no effort, no word of
mine, can now avert the calamity that
hangs over the energies, enterprise and
industry of the people of this vast Re-
public. The die is cast; the feast of the
modern Belshazzar is now being spread;
the banquet is announced; and the rev.
elry of 400 trusts and corporations is
now in the midst of its celebration.
The stock broker, the gold gambler,
and the trusts now feel perfectly safe
and secure within their in trenchmeuts,
while the Republican party stands
upon the outlines of their battlements
with it's sordid gold to purchase immu-
nifty from the wrath of an outraged
people.
RECKONING WILL COME
But, Mr.. Speaker, the day of deliv-
erance is near at hand; the time has
fully come to go before the great mas
ses of the country and open the book
of tyranny and oppression in which the
Repu blican party has written the law
of slavery, All the people want to
know is by whose hands these statutes
were written. say to them: go to
New England, Pennsylvania, Wall
street, and Lombard street, and there
you will see the index engraven upon
every page of avarice and greed, There
you will see the political boss and the
machine by which your sweat and toll
is coined into their millions, and there
you will learn how you do the protect
ing and who the benefciaries of pro-
lection are"
Mr.. Speaker, there is no remedy for
these endless outrages upon the peo-
pies rights under the policy and leg
islation of the Republican party. They
must turn to the great principles laid
down by Thomas Jefferson and his as
sociates, if they desire relief.
Therefore let us go back to the peo-
pie, where the sovereign remedy may
be had, and make our appeal. The
people are always right, and make no
mistakes when free to exercise their
will
Mr.. Speaker, I have no fears that
when the people speak in 1898 and
1900 upon the issues that this bill now
creates, condemnation will be regis
tered against the encroachments upon
their rights, and this insidious method
of robbing the toiling millions under
the pretense of raising revenue will be
repudiated by them in no uncertain
way. Then we can say to the world
that popular government is safe in the
hands of the people, and robbery can
not longer be perpetuated by the tricks
of legislation"

WRONG IN HEAD OR HEART.
The Augusta Tribune Deals Some Straight
Blows at Butler.

Senator Marion Buffers paper this
week is filed with cuts and filings at
those Populists who did not oppose the
Nashville conference. In this he has
shown himself an apt pupilof his tutor,
Chairman Jones, who Embrace every
opportunity to estrange those whose
support he needed for the success of
his candidate.
When Chairman Butler thus studi-
ously and persistently abuses and in
suits those whose official head he
claims to be, it shows that either his
head or his heart is wrong. Either his
Judgment is deficient and he has more
bile in his stomach than gray matter in
his head, or his heart is wrong and he
is traitor who deliberately proposes
to wreck the party which honored him.
The Tribune has been friend to
Mr.. Butler. We refused to join with
those who denounced him before the
Nashville convention. We have tried
to justify his course, because we pre-
ferred to look upon him as true man
and coming leader of the hosts of re-
form. But the evidence accumulates,
furnished by Mr.. Butler himself, that
our estimate of him has been wrong,
and that he cannot be trusted because
either his head or his heart is wrong.
The contemplate fling he makes
about Georgia Populists who voted for
Mckinley, and the insult implied in his
professed hope that next time they
will vote as they talk is entirely gra-
tuitous. The Tribune supported Bryan
and Watson, as long as Bryan and
Watson electors were in the field.
When that electoral ticket was with
drawn, the only choice left us was be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
ticket, unless we chose to adopt the
cowardly policy of sitting on the fence
between them for fear of offending one
by supporting the other. We said,
when we left the Democratic party.
that we left it for good, and that, if
ever the time should come when we
were forced to choose between it and
uhC AeOPAOiASbh POI ~ WS NAOOSO
the latter. We say the same thing
now.
We regard the Republican party as
wolf, and the Democratic party as
wolf in sleeps clothing and will sup
port neither so long as we cen fight
both. But if we must choose between
them, we prefer the open enemy of the
people to the treacherous foe and nine
tenths of the Populists stand with us
on that.
Senator Butler knows these things,
and hence his babbhng betrays his
prompting. If the Democrats under
stood this as well as Senator Butler
Butler they would not be so DESTROYS to
have the Populist party out Of the way.

1t is foregone conclusion that the

Hereafter we will either have a voice

to see Jim (Benedictl Barrett nominal

Senatar German, the most astute
politician of them all, and who never
allows a matter of principle to stand in
the way of success, in writing the
Maryland platform declares that Dem
ocracy has always stood for sound
money, gold and silver, and leaves
every fellow to suit himself in the mat
.sr of ratio. All this goes TO show that
in 1898 we may expect as many differ
ent financial declarations in the state
platforms as there are different eXigen-
cies to be met in the various states. 1t
also goes to show that in 1900 instead
of the explicit declaration of the
Chicago platform we may expect an
artful tumble of words that every man
is at liberty to interpret to suit his own
taste and on which the Democracy can
unite in a harmonious effort to gull the
people and capture the offices and more

them for their political support for the
reason that the democratic candidate

Even this early in the struggle for
the supremacy of the people in these
United States, William j. Bryan open
ly declares for the Populist principles

at Nashville-the initiative and refer

from our platform the principle of free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to / and other undemocratic

around our capstone-the initiative

it as a cardinal principle of Democracy.
in a recent speech he used these words:
THE principle of the initiative and
