OUR EXCHANGES AND FUSION.

The "Roaders" don't propose to or
ganize new party or to bolt the one
they have. They simply intend to
hammer away at fusion until it is too
dead to skin. They will support a
Populist candidate when he is put UP,
and when the party organization bolts
its principles and puts up an old party
fraud the readers will put up genuine
populist and vote for him. Just put
that in your pipe and smoke it-Mor-
gan's Buzz-Saw.
1t was not populism to vote for
Bryan, and the sooner those who did,
acknowledge it and turn from it, the
better. Sewall was no better nor worse
than Bryan, they were both nominated
by the democracy on Democratic
platform and stood upon every plank
without any reservation. How any one
can blame one more than the other is
strange kind of position. That Pop

He Wanted the Name.


Recently during a erlai in one of our
courts, it became necessary for the
Judge himself to question a witness
and the following colloquy took
place:
Judge-Are you married man?
Witness-No.
J.-Have you any one depeding on
you for support?
W.-Yes; a large number of them.
J.-Are they disabled physically or
mentally from supporting themselves?
W.-No; they are fully as able as
am to support themselves.
J.-Then why do you support these
able-bodied persons?
W.-Because the customs and ar
rangements of our present state OF
society compel me to-
J.-These persons doing no manner
of useful work, and you, a poor man,
having, nothing but your labor, are
compelled to give part of it to these
bloodsucking leeches?
W.-Yes; l am forced to divide by
giving them three-fourths of what l
produce.
J.-Is there no way to get rid of
these human leeches?
W.-Not at once; for nearly all So
ciety especially these leeches, as you
call them, insist that this is natural
state of affairs, and has always exist
ed; they are eternally ding-donging in
nv ears that, were it not for these
leeches, l could not work at all, and
death would immediatly overtake me.
But in the near future we'll be able
to rid ourselves of them, when they'll
have to support themselves.
J.-If you should die, would not these
leeches have to work?
W.-Oh, no; they hold in reserve a
vast number who are about to be
cyertaken by death from enforced
idleness and they would think it a
God-sent privilege to toll in support OF
these leeches.
J.-Would you please give ME the
names and addresses of these leeches?
W.-Though it is solely from my Ia
bor that their lives are made a con-
tinual round of pleasure, still they have
the brutal ingratitude to refuse to live
in the same locality as myslef, and

largest wholesale grocery firms in the
city and asked:

largest wholesale grocery firms in the
city, and asked:
do you want to sell out?'
The grocer said he never owned
any nything he would not sell at good
price
"Well," said the lawyer II am pre-
pared to buy your stock at per cent,
more than its real market value, pay
you dollar for dollar for your live book
accounts, and employ you at your
present salary for five years to manage
the business
Smoke up" said the grocer, look
ing his visitor over critically.
Il will deposit $4,000 cash right now
to bind the bargain" the lawyer con-
tinued, "and 1 will give you until to-
morrow to think over the proposition"
The same proposition was made to
the heads of other big grocery houses
and they were all bound to secrecy.
Each one declined the offer and the
lawyer went back to Chicago without
making a deal.
A rumor was about yesterday among
the grocers that the offer would be
renewed, and in case of failure to buy
any one Of the local concerns the rumor
had it that trust branch would be
started in Kansas City.
You see, if you are capable of COM
pretending anything, that it is first
necessary to control the wholesale
trade before the retail trade can be
controlled Now by establishing or
getting control of one wholesale
cities, the grocery trade will soon be
conquered, for the trust would thus
buy by the millions of dollars and no
Individual could compete, as they could
not buy to so much advantage. But
above and beyond this is the greater
advantage of selling goods at or below
cost in one town until the local whole
salers were busted, and make up the
losses in other towns where prices
have not been cut When the wholesa
lers fail, the trust will step in as the
only purchaser, buy the stock at 10 to
20 cents on the dollar, have a clear
field, raise the price to big profit,
and use that profit to sustain the losses
while they are playing the same game
in some other city. In one year after
the trust gets foothold il the princi-
pal cities it can control the grocery
trade of the United States as complete
ly as the Standard Oil company does
of oil.
The men behind this gigantic scheme
are men who own the great banks,
railroads, oil, coal and sugar Of the
nation, and is the preparatory step to
getting holding of all the retail trade OF
the 7O,OOO,OOO of people. And they
will as certainly do it as they are
attempting it.
The ostrich retailer will 60 stick his
head under the hope: they can't do
it." But they will do it and can make
hundreds of millions by doing it-and
that's what all people nowadays are
working for-The Appeal to Reason.
