How Matters Look to n saltwater
Correspondent.
Saltwater, Mimi, Nov. 20, 1897.
1. Donnelly, Esq, Dear Sir:-I am pleas
ed to find you travelling in the m-Aule
of the narrow road that leads to life.
The scribes and Pharisees always travel
the broad road that leads to the head
quarters Of Pluto Bryan, find, is now
travelling the same road as we'll as all
the lawyers and politicians of the two
old parties; or, in other words, the road
travelled by. the black wolf and the gray
wolf. He is now humbugging the peo-
pie in his tramp to Mexico. to learn
something about finance there.
When will the people see through
those modern scribes and doctors Of the
law? l have no use for such hypOcrites.
The old poets tell us to beware of lne
tongue that is smoothly hung
I did not go near the voting booths
the last election, Nov. 2, 1897, as there
was no Peoples party ticket in the
field: and l never again will be found
voting for either of those wolves.
If the people are ever to regain their
lost liberty, they must turn down those
hypocrites, through whose rascality it
was bartered away. They are not half
as manly as Judas, who sold his Lord
for 80 pieces Of silver; if they were
they would have cut their Threats long
ago. Yours truly.

Iowa Vote Explained.

Editor Noncontormist: To our friends
of reform we say do not be discourage
ed, with the light Populist vote in Iowa,
without knowing why it was so.
In the first place all local Populist
papers have been killed or turned fusion.
Second. Not one Populist in twenty
five has been reading a reform paper
for over year.
Third They have been reading So
called free silver Democrat papers, hence
it was easy to lead them along
Now you see what a disadvantage true
Populists worked under
Being a travelling photographer and
unable to receive papers on this account,
l was following the fusion crowd the
prior to election, when l CHANGED onto
a reform paper that showed me my err
ror, and l believe that the great body
of Populists Of Iowa are in the same
boat.
Monona county gave Bryan $500 and
Mckinley 1900 last year, or something
over 1900 majority for free silver and
this year Republicans elected three
county officers, and let in three fusion
lists by a scratch
The middle of the readers cast but
100 votes in the county, but the fusion
vote dropped off 920 votes, while Re-
publicans were about normal. In
doubtedly we would have received over
1000 votes for 80 days campaign, but
just prior to election circulars and
newspapers containing pretended letters
from Republican state chairman, to show

cerned, which banked on 16 to 1, was
also showed under while the Republi-
can candidate for governor received
larger vote than any other candidate
ever received in that state.
Sixth. In Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania, where the Democrats had
more sand than sense" the Chicago
platform was endorsed with a whoop
in conventions, and every candidate
licked out of his boots at the polls.
What there is in this showing to
please Democrats is more than l can
understand. 1t is time for reasoning
men to admit that free silver, 16 to 1,
single tax, nonsense and socialistic
bombbast will never be endorsed by
American voters. On the other hand
the Republican party has failed to coin
silver on government account to the full
needs of the people as it was pledged
to do, and has persistently refused to
put what they own into circulation as
it ought to have done by paying out
silver dollars to satisfy pension claims,
to pay salaries and to buy army, navy
and other supplies, and last but not
least, has refused to redeem maturing
government bonds in silver, as it had
the option to do. Such folly, if per-
sisted in, will surely wreck the G. O.
P. just as the refusal of the Democratic
party to give the people tariff for rev.
enue, as it had pledged itself to do,
insures their defeat for all time on that
issue, simply because the people know
that they can not be trusted. Old DEM
ocratic leaders are dead ducks" and
Republican leaders are fast dropping
into untimely political graves from adj
| vanced monopolistic fever.
If the true Peoples party men will
| only grasp the situation, call an early
national convention, place in nomina-
ton Hon. Ignatius Donnelly for presi-
dent, and Hon. Tom E. Watson for
vice-president, or men of that type, adopt
| a short platform declaring for direct
legislation, government ownership OF
all means Of transportation and com.
munication, safe, sound and flexible
currency, reduction of all public salar-
les, equal taxation, free ,homesteads to
the amount OF at least $1,000, election

NOMINATE IN 1898.

Editor Representative: l notice your
call for answers to the question, Shall
we nominate in 1887"
1 want to be among the pioneers who
say yes.
My reasons therefore are as follows:
1t will give us two years in which to ap-
peal to the reason of the people. Two
years in which to try our candidate and
if found wanting time to fire him and
find another. We need two years in
which to lay siege to the fortresses Of
prejudice, ignorance and superstition
which bar the way to human progress.
We can never carry an election with
short campaign, the opponents of free
government with their flamboodle
torch light professions blind the multi
tude to their own interests.
The probabilities are that the gold
wing of the Democratic party will take
charge of the Bryan forces in 1900. No
other party advocates the principles Of
the Peoples party. To fuse with any Of
them is to sell ourselves for the spoils Of
office. The fusionists who have called
us secessionists, rebels. copperheads and
assistant Republicans are the Benedict
Arnolds of the new revolution. and we
can never sleep in the same bed
Let us rise as in the days of 1892 and
make our fight like men for the prin-
ciples upon which our party was found
ed, untrammeled, unbought and unsold,
and thereby win the respect of the
American people who are Disguised with
the pap-sucking. office-seeking, pie-hunt-
| ing fusioniSts.

Our county, Rolette, did not average
more than four or five bushels of wheat
per acre, and other crops were even
worse. Mckinley is not smart. If he
expected us to give him the credit for
better prices he should at least have
given us an average crop here in our
own country, no matter how many fam
ines he caused in foreign lands. l have
never heard it explained just how the
Mckinley tariff put up the price Of
