IL is Coming.

A Texas editor is responsible for
the following:
There is just one of two things
that's got to happen in this country,
and that without delay. First, the
backbone of the aggregated capital
"must" be broken, or second, there
will be a hurtful, a disastrous revo-
luton i'm these States, with perhaps
a change in the form of our govern
ment. How can the first be accom-
plished? And how can the latter be
averted? These are questions that
the people must settle, and that

Do you see that?
See what?
The man.
Is that man?
That is what he calls himself.
What is he doing?
Waiting for prosperity.
Why don't he wear better clothes?
He is out of work and has no mon
ey to but them.
Why don't he get him a job?
There amt any jobs to get.
Will prosperity get him job?
Yes, when it comes.
Why does he think that prosperity
will come?
The politicians told him it would
if he voted for Mckinley.
Are the politicians trying to re-
store prosperity?
Yes.
How?
BY increasing the taxes and rails
ing the price of what the people have
to buy.
Will that bring prosperity?
Not III the court Knows ltSet.
Does the man know it?
He will.
When?
When he gets hungry.
What will he do then?
Swear.
Will that do any good?
Nav.
What should he do?
Eat a bale of hay for being an ass,
or hire somebody's bulldog to bite
him half to death, aud after that
vote ticket which the millionaires,
corporationists, lobbyists, trusts and
syndicates don't vote.
Would that help him?
If every man who needed a job
would do it, it would; at least he
would not be any worse off and
would have the satisfaction of voting
for what he wanted and needed in
stead of voting to be robbed.-EX.

ONE of the disgusting scenes at
the Populist pow-wOw in Nashville
this week was the pugilistic contest
between DR.. ]. NJ. Lindsey and
John Henry Mcdowell. DR.. Linds-
ley, who had offered resolution to
eliminate the silver plank from the
Omaha platform, made some re-
marks that reflected upon Tennessee
Populism, when John Henry got
mad and called the doctor a "red-
headed sapsucker." The NJ. d. re-
torted by calling John Henry a
political buzzard," and then the
two birds got together and for
awhile the air about the capitol was
file d with feathers. Unfortunately
ne ither contestant was seriously
hurt, although the capitol furniture

NOW, gentlemen of the jury, if
there has been any such arrange
ment or agreement it ought to be
broken up, and it is the sworn duty
of this court and jury to break it up.
They need not get together in a
room, elect president, secretary,
and some man get up and say: Il
move that we put the price of ice up
to 40 cents hundred. 1t don't take
that kind of an agreement to bring
them within the provisions of this
law; the Legislature knew that there
were various ways and schemes that
can be resOrted to bv which, if they
prescribed a particular form in
which thing could not be done,
that there are numbers of ways by
which the same thing could be done,
and therefore they enacted this law.
They need not get together formally (;
they need not get together and draw
up written contract; they need not
get together and agree verbally. But
if there is common understanding,
no matter how that understanding
may be communicated, it
is equally unlawful as if there had
been a formal written contract be-
tween them, and this had been de-
clared in the face of the contract to
be their agreement.

1T seems this is day when it is
popular to form trusts and prevent
competition; it has been argued that
in the aggregation of capital, in the
formation of these trusts and combi-
nations, and the fact that they work
together upon common plan, a
common understanding, these man
ufacturers contend, that it is for the
benefit of the citizen, but the wisest
political economists say, and human
experience demonstrates the fact
that it Is not so. And whether that
is so or not, it is the law in this
country. A man has the right to buy
and sell at such prices as the supply
and demand make or establish, ire
spective of any agreement or cOmbi-
nation whatever, and under that
theory of the Government every
man stands the equal of every other
man, receiving for his goods and for
his labor in the manufacture of
goods, and being successful in their
sale and manufacture according to
his intelligence, to his integrity, and
to his energy, and if be fails on ac-
count of his own Independent effort,
it is the fault or misfortune of his
own. The rest of the community
must not be made to suffer in order
that that one particular man be sue
cessful in the prosecution of that
business.
