"BERRYvILLE", NIBGINIA. Jan. - %.
Our State Populist organ having
peen obliged 10 suspend, owing TO the
poverty OF the people, the necessity has
arisen that | should look around for
another Populist paper to supply its
place, as such an organ is a necessary
ad junct to any part = success. have
been impressed with the value OF your
paper as an exponent Of Populist
views. and therefore enclose one dol
lar t$l O0) for . years subscription
which wish safe 10 hand, accompan-
ing it with some remarks which
trust will be received in the same
spirit which it is sent.
IL the principles OF our party are
worth advocating, there can be no ne
cessity Of panderiDg to the ideas OF
any other, though true conservative
course should point out the difference
between principle and partizsnism
(the sin OF both the old parties.) The
Democratic party before the last elec.
ton, adopted a platform acceptable Il
the Populists, which was supported
generally, by all, who were ia syrnpa
thy, but the s~lfishness exhibited bJ
the Democratic leaders was SO promi
nent, that many in our State refused
to act with them, consequently defsa'
followed. Unless the Democrats max,
themselves true Peoples Party, be
coming the party of human Fights
broadening out It's issues, nothing vii
be gained by anv alliance with them
Partizanship will again be supreme
and their selfish ,-aders, continue tn
work OF destruction. Centralized cap
ital will be in power and moneye'
oligarchy be fastened upon Us. Co
save us. No Increase of State BAN
power should be allowed, As il tend
TO depress property At will. Railroad
must be taken charge OF, and discT mi
nation be put q stop 10, so also sit
the telegraph. But any union NJ pres
ent, with Democracy, is impossible
and as Mr.. washburn of fMassachuseti
says, the Peoples Party must 60 fol
; ward, IS the Democratic party will no
and let our party stand on soil
ground.
II First, for free coinage Of silver 9
l6 to I. (Second), the issue OF pape
money by the national governmer
alone, and (ThirdIy) ownership by III
government, OF railroads and tell
graphs.
These points are strongly urge
: though the columns Of the American
D paper published in Philadelphia, b
/: Mr.. Wharton Barker, and this, in m
= judgment, strikes the key note for
q successful campaign next time. B
\ fore concluding, can / urge you all,
be sure OF our ground, and not expe
t,o much from legislation at preser
but certain that the offered remedy
e all, shall be free from false reasoDin
e and pure In the advice given. o.
q ministers could do much good in th
: cause of the people, and in keepil
4 with their tacsed calling. In Il
a words OF the Rev. Edward A. Ho
:. ton there Is need for our uprising in b
8 half Of oppressed humanity; burde
are laid upon US of Q grievous kin
because of partiza ship, money sqoa
dered, energies scattered, progre
,. held back, because the prosperity ol
i party is placed above the welfare
J. the community.
rtI Nay your paper urge through
n columns this cause SO sacred and u
- der the broad banner of courage q
d truth, success must follow.
