on the subject in German periodical. Not

the lines he became very wroth indeed, for the
article was simply a German rendering of one
from the gentleman's own pen which appeared
in an English paper year ago. Insult was added

WHAT II CHA.NGE.

Six years ago the populist
party was formally organized,
and, among other things in its
platform at that time, we find
the following:
'Wee meet in the midst of 4
nation brought to the verge OF
moral, political and material
ruin"
My populist friend of this day,
how does that now sound to you?
Does it not sound rather doleful,
in the face of a $615,ooo,o 900
balance of trade in favor of our
natioa for the fiscal year ending
July I, 1898, and an excess of
exports over imports for the first
seven months of 1898 of$317,132,
86I? In some of the reform pa
rades two years ago were carried
banners upon which were these
words:
GA VOTE FOR MCKINLEY
MEANS
.25 CENTS A BUSHEL FOR WHEAT
no CENTS A BUSHEL FOR CORN"
Would any of our populist
friends and readers like to carry
such a banner now? We know
you would not, for the first year
under the Dingley Tariff act

wool was over 5o7, 900, 900 lbs,
and sheep that were selling for

the payment of interest and prin-
|cipal of some of its obligations.
No nation on earth but ours
can do that. You are all happy
and glad you are American citi-
zens, you love the country, you
are patriots and want to do right
but you were simply mistaken in
regard to what the country re-
|quired, that's all. It's manly to
admit mistakes, and improve on
the experience of the past.
Throw away your free silver
fads, your referendum, etc., and
look up in the light of the pres

that your fallacies were not sue

intelligence of the American
,cople.
