UNION FORCES IN IOWA.

The Democrats, Populists and Sill
yer Republicans Of Iowa met In state
conference Mt Des MOiues, December
~, and adopted the following AS a
basis Of union in the next campaign
In that state:
The state conference, composed Of
members OF the Democratic Popullst
and free silver Republican parties OF
Iowa sends greeting;
Profoundly convinced that there
can be neither business security nor
industrial prosperity until we return
TO the unrestricted coinage of both
gold aud SILVER at the established
ratio and until we adopt for ourselves
an independent American system OF
finances, we therefore unanimously
recommend:
First-That the union OF the free
silver forces effected In the state cam
palgn be declared permanent, upon
the basis recognized In that struggle.
Second-We further recommend that
our separate organizations be main
tained, and that In the future all
conventions OF said parties, state, dis
trlct and county, be called 10 meet at
the same time and place, and that
they agree upon the same candidates.
We further recommend the imme-
dlate formation OF clubs In every
township and voting precinct In the
state.
We also recommend the appoint
ment OF committee from each party |
20 prepare aud publish an address TO
the people OF Iowa In accord with the
above Views.
General Weaver moved the adoption
OF the resolutions, and they were ac-
cepted without dissent, II was also
agreed that the committee be contln-
ued 20 prepare the formal address.
Unless there can be secured In Ore
gon primary election law, and such
20 the election laws, as {
win stop repeating, il viii make little
difference how many votes any opposl-
tion party rolls up,

THE FUNDING QUESTION.

This office is being flooded with cir

the question Of the government fore
closing the debts against these Pacific

We have no hope that under the
present political system, where the
corporations virtually dictate the

relief at the hands Of congress. After
men are elected they are Supplied
with free passes and special ears when
wanted, aud the very idea Of poll
ticians pampered by these great cor
poratiOns, having the wealth. and

do, doing anything for the people is

In this matter, and no congressman
or senator with particle OF respect
for the Interests OF the producer

from sources already corrupted by
corporate influences. The corpora
tions have more money than the
people and know how To use IL.
