states against the octopus of centraliZa-
ton through ''force bills:" and of late
it has been the cause of the poor against
all of it. there is in some degree the
promise that in change there will
come relief; that government is a pater-
naIism and that if good does not come
to all its citizens, it is the fault Of those
who administer it. We teach that un-
reasonable principle to deceive the peo-
pie into supporting us and must take
the consequences when the people who
took us at our word take the first OPP
portunity to turn us out because We lied
TO them. The Democratic reverses from
1892 10 1916 were from this cause,
and other parties should profit by this
example The Pop'llists in Kansas will
lose in 1898. and the Republicans may
take warning for 1900.
But the American voter should not
write himself down fool. He should
not knock down his new cook till he has
had a chance to prepare at least one
meal. IL some demagogue persuaded
him to believe his hunger would be sat
isfied before the meal was spread he
should kick himself for being a block
