The interesting question
then is, is it impossible to
arouse the masses to a
great sense of danger hang
ing over them before the
danger eliminates in a
calamity and overwhelms
them? There are, indeed,
at the pdesent time, many
indications of a popular
awakening. Unless we set
the people down as incura-
BILE idiots it will be i'm
possible for us to believe
that they will much longer
continue to submit to the
almost wholesale confscat-
ion of their earnings and
the heartless spoliation of
their political Inheritance.
The criminal operations of
the multi millionaire con-
splrators are growing so
reckless!y bold and frequent,
the effects of their opera
tions are so Gar-reaching and
disastrous, that public at
tention is being aroused as
it never was before, and
unless our people are exempt
from the operations of the
natural law that governs
elsewhere and are amena-
bic to another, the workings
of which we do not under
stand, public indignation
will follow, and the inevita-
BILE outcome will be a
readjustment of conditions
where t h e Jeffersonian
doctrine of the political
equality of men will be as
signed its rightful place,
and the administration of
justice be the moving, gov
erning priuclple.

The cause of true reform
suffers inmensely because a
great l'lanv people rest
secure in the belief that
their freedom remains un-
impaired so long as they are
not actually sold upon the
block. This monster delu.
sion has in the past from
time to time deferred, and
is now deferring, the re-
generation Of the political
life of this nation. 1t is
this wretched hallucination
stupefying the powers of
comprehension among S o
many people, that gives the
opportunities and furnishes
the license to the pirates
in our midst to devour our
substance with impunlty.
Once let the people learn
that they may be reduced to
a condition of practical
servitude while still per.
mitted the use of the forms
and ceremonials to which
they were accustomed in a
state of actual freedom,
but which are now empty
forms and shallow, meaning.
less ceremonials, devoid of
power and harmless of pur.
pose; let the working classes
once thoroughly comprehend
that the power to fix wages
and determine prices is tie
omnipotent power in this
material wor!d-the power
that can most effectually
create the autocrat upon
the one hand, and the
menial on the other, that
can afllict society at the
same time with the two fold
curse Of multi. millionaire
and pauper; once let these
truths penetrate the popu-
lar understanding, and the
carnival of the thieving and
gambling fraternity world
abruptly come to an inglori'
Gus end.

That class legislation has
now reached the imminent
danger point to maintain
which will involve the per-
manent degradation of the
producing classes is beyond
all intelligent dispute, and
vet in their utter madness
the bene6ciaries of this
legislation are planning and
demanding that the fields
Of their operations be
widned. With one accord
they are asking such an
extension of license and
power to plunder, that,
should all their demands be
granted as the Republican
party now contemplates, as
it is in fact anxious to
grant, an imperialism or
wealth will rule this coun.

"The great, overshadow-
ing, irresistible thing in
American politics to-day
is the tremendous personal
popularity of William J.
Bryan. | found this to be
the case not only in Mis-
souri,, but in Virginia.
Shortly after the election
a smart Republican edi-
tor, in an effort to belittle
Bryan and the cause for
which he stands, said: 'In
six months BRYAN will be
so completely forgotten
that he will have to fall
out of Il window of a third
story or have himself bit
ten by a dog to get his
name into the newspapers. d,
Yet, contrary to# that
prediction and the hope
which produced it, Bryan's
name leads all the @rest-ln-

comes to a question of popu-
larity. The people have a
personal affection for him
such as they had for JEFF

Lincoln and Blame. While
campaigning in the First
Missouri District lately |
found that the thing most
certain to bring down the
house was the prediction
that Bryan would lbe in

perhaps local causes ac-
counted for the peculiar and
unusual enthusiasm for a
defeated candidate. But as

Washington from Roanoke
College | witnessed scenes
which convinced me that
his popularity is not only
widespread, but growing.
He got on the tram at
Charlottesville. A multi
tude of people accompani-
ed him to the depot in the
rain. At every little stat
ion crowds yelled for him
till he appeared on the
platform. At Culpeper he
left the train and at least
$500 people were waiting
for him there, though it was
almost raining frogs, One
young lady who was on the
train, and whose pretty
dress had been spoiled by
the rain while she was get
ting a good took at him,
said to her companion; II
never want to travel on the
same train with Bryan
again. People are so eager
to see HIM they run right
over you.' But the most
unexpected tribute | heard
to him was from a colored
man, evidently an intelligent
one, sitting just across the
aisle from me, As Bryan

As Sounded BY Silver
Fusionists In Iowa.

Governor, Judge Oh the
Supreme Court, Railroad
Commissioner and State
Superintendent of Schools,
A tripartite fusion is the
programme of the Demo
Gratis, Republican Free
Silverites and Poplists, and
delegate conventions of all
three parties were called to
order here this morning.
Last year the Bryan Demo
Gratis polled 223, 900 vots.
a larger showing than had
ever been made before,
even when the Democracy
was united and Horace
Boles was placed in the
gubernatorial chair. Hence
it is argued that, with
complete fusion a vigorous
campaign and the falling off
in the Republican vote that
invariably marks an off
year, the Fusionists would
stand 4 decidedly favorable
show of capturing ali the
State officers to be filled
this year.
About 1000 delegates
were present when State
Chairman NJ. t. Eealey of
Fort Dodge called the
Democratic State Conven-
tion to order to-day. All
counties were represented
by delegations, most of
/ them equal to the authorized
number. The attendance
of visitors was small. The
Tabernacle was not decorat-
ed except with a few flags.
The announcement that eX-
Congressman Fred e. White
of Keokuk, the leading can
didate for Governor, would
preside as temporary chair.
man, was received with
cheers, which increased
when a large picture Of
William J. Bryan was un-
furled at the rear of the
stage. Three cheers were
given for Bryan and then
Mr.. White made his address.
Mr.. White spoke as fol.
lows:
Jeffersonism to-day con,
stitutes the crowning glory
of all our institutions as it
is indeed the only barrier

the age has been able to
erect to protect a free peo-
pie against the approaches

should ever either through
ignorance, Indifference, or
actaal connivance let go of

that is a radical change in

a wonderful dream, one that put new
