Prosperity.

Fully six months has elapsed
since the Will of the Republican
party was made known to the peo-
pie, but the promised good times
are not yet in sight, and our manu-
facturers as we'll as our producing
classes are far from having any
cause forrrejoieing, but on the con-
trary, find cause'fdr> bitter reAec-
ton. Those manufacturers who
went ahsad on the hope that with
the new administration would come
an increased demand for manufac-
tured goods, have been sadly dis
appointed.
The new administration is PROV
ing beyond any question Of doubt
that no tariff legislation will do
anything toward restoring pros
perity to this country.
Even Mr.. John Wanamaker,
who in many speech during the
last campaign promised the return
of prosperity, has come to view the
situation as a very discouraging
one.
Here is what he says:
''The country IS not prosperous.
Since the outset of the last Presi-
dental campaign the party press
and poplitical leaders generally
fixed the November election of
1896 as the date Of the beginning
of good times. A full half of the
year has expired since the will OF
the Republican party was declared.
Thus far, but one Of the import
ant issues of the campaign is near
ing settlement, and hardly any
noticeable improvement Of the
wretched times is manifest. The
tide will soon set in strongly against
the Republican, party unless the
depression of business is altered.
IdIeness and want breed % bitter
discomfort, which will never be
overcome until there are ample
employments.
"There will most assuredly come
a day when there will be mighty
revolt and resistance, resulting in
a revolution, that will give birth
to a new political party. Laws
continually pespiscd and disregard
ed, legislation conceived for black
mailing purposes, speculation by
public officials in trust and other
stocks, while tariffs and other fl
nancial bills are pending, must
surely and irrevocably alienate the
people from their party, and ava
ken a disposition and desperation
to substitute almost any wild and
untried leadership with the hope Of
possible relief"
Such has been the history Of all
political parties that have ever cx.
listed, and outlived their usefulness.
The time has already come, the
''mighty revolt'' is at hand.
1t is an established fact that eve
ry great reform has been brought
about by u new party established
for that special purpose, and fol-
; this purpose was the Peoples par
ty founded, and if the great re.
,, forms that are now being agitated
are ever enacted into law, it vii
be through the efforts Of this par
ty.

Do the people rule!

We want self-governmcnt.
After self government, let's have
monetary reform.
If this is prosperity, make the
most OF it.
True, Mir. Mckinley is Prcsi-
dent, but where is that prosperity!
Perhaps this is prosperity. Next
year we may be talking about the
''good times Of lS97."-New Occa-
sions.

Nashville Conference.

tend to try to depose as our Ma
tional Chairman, Senator Butler,
who has, in our humble opinion,
successfully carried our party
through one of the most perplex-
ing and dangerous periods of its
history.
One of the prime movers in this
foolish crusade is Gen. Coxey, who
tried to split the party last Win
ter, and succeeded in slabbing off
only 9 or 3 men besides himself,
and met with them in St. Louis,
and resvluted. Later he joined
with Vandervoort, Parks, and a
few others in the present move,
but before it natures CoXey viii
be off to Washington with another
'keep-of- f-the-grass" army. Noto-
riety is all Coxey wants, and this
he will have, even if he has to pay
for it.
Some conservative Populists who
have heard only the murmurings
of these rantankerous kickers,
have been led to believe that ''the
devil Is to pay" and that Nashville
is the place to settle the bill.
These notoriety seekers are con-
tinually declaring that eff the
Peoples party is to be hitched on
to the Democratic wagon in 1898,
as it was in '96, ETC." eff we are
to remain mere plaything, to be
transferred, etc"
Who says it's going to be hitch
ed on or transferred? Not this
paper. Not the State Chairman
or committee. Not Chairman But
ler or the National Committee.
Well, who then? Nobody.
Chairman Butler over his own
signature, notified Mr.. Bryan last
January, that neither he nor any
other man could get the Populist
support under the old purity ban
ners. !.
Oun35 or 40 Senator's and Rep
resentatives in Congress nominated
and supported their own candidate
for Speaker, against both the
Democratic and Republican nomi-
nees, and have since demanded rec
ognition as Popullsts from both
Speaker and Vice President.
The N. r. P. A. at its Memphis
meeting took advanced ground in
favor of Government Ownership
of Railways, and Senator Butler
Immediately indorsed it in his pa.
per and introduced a bill in con.
gress on that line for the settle.
ment of much debated Union Pa.
cifc railroad.
Elsewhere we print an article
from Senator Buffers paper (The
Raleigh Caucasian) in which he
shows over his own initials IN
b." that there is an evident 'sdeal'
on between the Democrats and Re
publicans, in pursuance Of which
nothing is to be done in congress
this session and next, and thus
make the tariff the issue next year.
| In thus exposing Democratic du
plicity, does it look as if our Ma.
tionaI Chairman was endeavorina
TO hitch the Peoples party onto
the Democratic wagon?
| A few weeks ago Jerry Simpson
the Popnlist leader Of the House
made even Speaker Reed feel The
weight Of his steel, and in an effort
to force the Speaker to appoint
committees and get congress tc
work doing something, he divided
the Democratic minority in half
taking 80 members with him as
against 50 who followed Bailey te
the Republican side.
