in an interview:
The first silver republican senators
Mantle. Jones of Nevada. Cannon. Tel
Ter and myself will not do anything
TO hinder the adoption of a protective
tariff law, There are a number of dem

If there is an attempt to organize the
senate we may be in session all sum-
mer, and If there is a serious effort
to seat the three new senator's that
have been appointed. a great breach
will be opened and the tariff an1 ev-
erything else may be lost sight of.
There is also talk of passing other leg
isla;ion than the tariff and approprla
tions. 1t is my opinion that 1t is un-
derstood that the senate will not be
recognized: that the new senators by
appointment will not be seated, and
that there will be no general leglsla-
tion. In that event the way is clear
for the early passage of tariff law.

A REPORT
The st. Louis Meeting Of the National
Organization Committee OF the
Peoples Party-The Time for 40.
ton Has Arrived.

One Of the most enthusiastic, har-
monious and determined meetings of the
Nashville conference organization COM
mittee Of the Peoples party was held
at the La Clede Hotel at st. Louis on
the 23rd and oath Of November. Deter
mination was written upon the face Of
every member of the committee, and
the consciousness Of the crisis which our
party had reached was shown by the
anxious consideration which was given
to every detail; and the courageous
action taken was fitting termination
to what may rescue the Peoples party
from destruction.
The meeting was called to order by
10 o'clock a. m. and the committee was
in continuous session for two days and
nights. Among other things done, Mr..
j. B. Dukes, Of Minnesota, was made
member Of the committee to prepare
national plan Of organization" The
plan will be in readiness just as soon
as the printer can get it out

was a forcible and earnest exponent of
prompt action. He made an excellent
impression upon the general committee

No Compromise With Error-stand By
Right and Truth.
OCOSTA, Wash, Nov. 23-Dear Edl-
tor: Enclosed find $1.OO, which is only
partial payment of arrears, but balance
will follow soon. My only excuse for
long delinquency Is that we have barely
been able to exist. There is no business
Of any kind going on in our little town
for three years; the only income the
place has is from the few railroad en-
llOyes and the shipping of shell flsh,
which latter 1 am at present doing. Your
patience with delinquent subscribers is
equalled only by your devotion 20 the
great cause, which must eventually tri-
umph, as it is the only hope Of civiliza-
tion
1 am gratiied at the firm stand you
take for ''middle-of-the-road' position.
We shall gather strength from defeat
II we have the good sense to profit by
our experiences. We cannot serve God
and Mammon. Neither have the glori-
GUS reform principles Of the Omaha
platform anything in common with the
trafficking junket of an effete Democ-
racy. Let us steer clear of corrupt al
liances and present a bold, uncompro-
missing front to the enemy. Anti-mon-
opoly is our watchward. Down with
chartered privileges. Up with the
EQUALITY OF MAN! Hurrah for the
Industrial cooperation Of a high civiliza-
ton. Away with the ghoulish greed
that characterizes this age. Unshackle
the bodies and souls of men. Make way
for the glorious milennial dawn. Faith
erhood of God and brotherhood of man!
Glorious thought, glorious principles.
Good enough to stand by. Good enough
to fight for. Good enough to die for
On to the victory IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE ROAD. Yours sincerely for the
cause L. M. EDWARDS

enemies. When a man becomes a fu-
sionist he ceases to be Populist. If
the Populist party Is ever to become
great and powerful it must be done by
pursuing an honest, bold and straight
forward course. It can be done in 40
other way. The man who is not will
ing to fight under the Populist banner
and die with his face to the enemy Is
not Populist. l am tired Of hearing
men talk about Populists doing some
thing to please fusionists. We need no
towards in the Populist army and we
need no cowardly counsellors. When
traitors had ruined our organization it
was the wise and brave men in it's ranks
who came forward and rescued it from
eternal destruction and these men de-
serve all the honors the party can be-
stow. The old warriors in our party
who have always been true to it's prin-
ciples, have the highest claim upon our
gratitude. I love them because of the
enemies they have made, and l will
stand up for them against the world.
When Jesus Christ selected his twelve
apostles to reform the world he did not
select a solitary lawyer, or doctor, or
preacher. On the contrary he made his
selections from among the common peo-
pie, and that is what the Populist party
should do in selecting its candidates for
president and vice-president in 1900.
Our candidate for president should be
farmer, and our candidate for vice.
president should be a mechanic, and
both Of these candidates should come
from the Northwestern states. In nv
opinion Donnelly, of Minnesota, for
president, and Debs, of Indiana, for
vice-president, would be the strongest
ticket that we could make. It would
be the farm and the workshop united
and fighting for the grandest victory
in the history Of the world.
