Beardsley
Graceville, Mimi
Hon. Ig Donnelly,
Editor Of the Representative,
Minneapolis, Mimi:
Dear Sir:
l had many letters from brothers in
the reform movement, in different parts
OF the state. l beg leave to trespass on
your valuable space to answer those
friendly "sons Of liberty"
1t the free silver party are true re-
formers, why do they want to hug the
Democratic party SO closely, who always
pretended to be the enemy of the Repub-
lican party. Gentlemen, wipe the cob
webs Of the dark ages from your eyes,
and demonetize both gold and silver,
and issue in their place paper money,
which Is much easier and more conve-
nient to handle, with all the resources
of the country pledged for it's redemp-
ton in labor, which is the source of all
wealth, and you will put out of mans
way the temptation to hoard gold for
alteration. 1t appears that the only
object Of the iusionist is to get Offices.
l am unable to see what we are to gain
for reform, by exchanging masters in
oustlng' one class of Office seekers to
put another set of pie-hunters in their
place. There is no doubt in my mind
but what there are true reformers in the
rank and file of the Democratic party
but like the Republican party they are
governed by the bosses, who sell. them
to the money power for the lOaves and
fishes and keep the rank and file in line
by taking the name Of the founder of
Democracy in vain, viz: Jefferson and
his true Democratic associates Just as
the Republican bosses keep. the liberty
loving Republicans in line by shouting
the honored names of Lincoln, Chase,
Summers, Thaddeus Stevens and other
founders Of the grand old party"
which is now owned by the Hanna's
and Rothschilds. Populists believe
believe there ought to be no trinity in
the reform movement and that there is
no slavery as bad as party slavery, and
If the reform Democrats and free silver
Republicans do not like the name Pop
ulist we will meet them halfway and
allow them to call the reform movement
any name they please, providing they
adopt the Omaha platform or some
thing better. We are for our country
first and party second. But if the free
silver party and the so-called reform
Democrats will do nothing but take the
offices, l. as a Populist, am for putting
full and Independent Populist ticket in
the field and trust in the patriotism of
all reform individuals to join our ranks
for the purpose Of snatching our be-
loved country from Democratic and Re-
publican misrule. The Democrats and
Republicans are twin brothers and look
SO much alike that their mother cannot
distinguish one from the other, hence.
she had to put badge on each, one
marked Mark Hanna and the other
marked Grover, the first.
Respectfully,
M. P. MORAN.

l do not consider that there is the
slightest chance of any success against
the venality, corruption and disgraceful
trend to secure greater power and plum
der for the Republican party by con-
quest, colonial annexation and imperial
ism, which inevitably tends to the crea-
ton of vast standing army and a gil
gantic navy to be used hereafter in the
universal war which the conduct of Nc
kinley, his advisers and satellites will
precipitate, probably before January.

From away down here in "Old Vir-
ginia," where the Peoples Party has
been about fused out OF existence land
the Democratic party the same old
Bourbon party it was before the Chica-
go convention of 36), l have been
watching the struggle up in the North
Star state. May the true blue Populists
win glorious victory i'll their struggle
against the fusion devil, who has prom
ised the kingdom Of office, with party
pie, to all who will fall down and wor-
ship at the shrine of defunct DE-
mocracy.' The Democratic leaders
would rather unite their aarty again
than to fight under the free silver ban
Her without the AID Of the Palmer and
Bucknerites. Their policy Is to "get
there with free silver if they can, but
set there" withou, it, if they must
The Democrats of Winchester, Va,
have just elected a Palmer and Buckner
gold bug for mayor! A good argument
for fusion! In The American for May
18th, Mr.. Barker in reply to Senator
Butler shows by arguments that cannot
be refuted that "co-operation with the
ticn." There is no need either for a
new party, for nothing less than the
Omaha platform would meet the issues
of today. ''The Peoples Party holds to
true principles, points out the policies
that will free our people from the dead
enin:s grasp of the moneyed oligarchy."
Therefore, there must be no retreat
into the wilderness of confusion, dis
traction and defeat, by the Butler road
CT fusion. He who would barter away
PopIiist principles for Office Is no Popu-
list. Fusion has accomplished all the
good it can ever do-;he Peoples Party
has gotten rid of the of1ice-seeking. pie
hunting elements. Let fusionists now
reGalc beneath the smiles Of Miss Dem
ocracy while they count her for ''loavcs
and fishes" With all the fusiOnists to
help them, the Democrats cannot win
in 1900. They will lose Texas and prob
ably Alabama and Georgia next Novem-
Der. Then with their lines SO soon
broken, why should not Populists take
courage, hold a national convention In
July and nominate Wharton Barker for
president, with a determination to win
such as never has yet marked the his
tory of any presidential campaign in
the country. The baby cry of the fu-
sionists, that we would he the allies
of Hanna, itself echoes back the answer
that the Peoples Party was born long
before the country ever heard of Mark
Hanna. We must stand by the Popu-
list party because 1t is the only great
party that stands for principle. The
Peoples Party was not born to help
Democrats into Office. It was born to
save the country from destruction.
Fuse, and We are no better than the old
parties. Fuse, and we die Reform will
be hindered and the republic may die,
or regain its vitality only after a bloody
revolution-all as consequence, 1t

PURCHASE OF ST. THOMAS.
Nothing is Being Done by the State
Department..

The published statement from Copen-
hagen via London to the effect that ne
gotiations are progressing looking to the
purchase by the United States from Den
mark of the Danish West Indian posses
sions, st. Thomas and st. Croix appear
to be nothing more than the recrudescence
of an old story. For many years past
certain far-seeing statesmen, have cast
longing eyes upon these Danish islands.
Ex-Secretary Stanton conducted negotla-
tons resulting in treaty between Dem
mark and the United States whereby St.
Thomas and st. Croix were to be turned
over to the United States for monetary
consideration. The treaty came to naught
owing to the opposition of Charles Sumner
to every feature of Grants West Indian
policy. The Danish government was Of
Tended at what seemed to be a breach Of
faith on the part of the United States i'm
withdrawing from an agreement which 1t
had initiated, and the subject of the ces-
sion dropped into the back ground.
During President Harrison's admins
tration 1T was brought again to the fore
and the President submitted to Congress
an almost overwhelming mass Of testi-
mony from the highest authorities, naval
value of the islands to the United States
rot only as coaling station, but as an
advance outposts Of the defenses Of the
country.
StTOnB COMBINATION on the SOunoneSS
of this testimony hds been accorded by the
present campaign in the West Indies. But
President Harrison, like President Grant,
found himself unable to carry through his
scheme of acquisition At the beginning
Of the present Congress a resolution was
Introduced looking to the reopening OF ne
gotiations for the purchase of tire islands
from the Danish government was predi-
Gated upon an intimation received from
that government that it was not averse
to reopening negotiations But since that
time nothing has been done by the State
Department in that direction and it may
be that the almost periodical publication
Of the items in European newspapers Is
q gentle admonition to the United States
that something must be done looking
toward the acquisition of the islands IL
Denmark is to find customer on this
