duty, to fail to put their sincerity
TO the test at this juncture.
Now the way to test their sin
certify Is by proposing to them to-
do as Bryan has requested them to
do; that IL. to cooperate on certain
great fundamental principles. If
they refuse to cooperate Ii will
prove their insincerity and result
in one Of two things either that
the masses OF the party will over
throw them and drive them into
the Republican party with Mark
Hanna and the Cleveland crowd
where they belong, or else it will
result in the rank and file of the
Democratic party coming to the
Peoples party where they belong.
So whether the leaders OF the Dem
ocratic party are sincere or insin-
cere it is clearly our duty to make
an honest effort to secure a fair and
honorable cooperation.
Our State Convention Is held be-
fore the Democratic state Conven.
ton. Therefore, 1t devolves upon
us to make the first proposition to
cooperate. IL we meet and ad'
journ without doing so, then We
furnish to every insincere and by
pocritical leader in the Democratic
party an opportunity to hide hi.
insincerity. Every gold bug in dis
guise In that party will be quick Il
declare that he was in favor OF co
operation as Bryan requested blu
that we were insincere, held Ou
convention first to prevent cooper
alton and failed to make a PROPOSE
ton. They would go through tn,
whole campaign making thi
charge and they would make tn
honest rank and file OF their part,
believe it, and we would have n
way to disprOve it.
On the other hand, let us make "a
we should dO) a fair and honOrabl
proposition to them to co-operat
for certain great reforms, not Onl,
| National but also State, covering
TRANSFORMATION reforms and the cleo

CO. OPERATION iGAINST
GOLD AND MONOPOLY.
THE ADDRESS SENT OUT BY THE
twenty-five POPULiST SENATORS
AND CON6RESSMEN.

Reasons Why the Peoples Party Should
Appeal to All Who Are Opposed to the
Rule of Gold and Monopoly to Join
Hands in a Harmonious Cooperation
Against the Common Enemy.
Our readers will remember the
address appealing for cooperation
of all who are opposed to gold and
monopoly, recently sent out by the
twenty-five Populist Congressman
and Senators. Since some who
claim to be opposed to the rule Of
gold and monopoly have recently
attacked this address we republish
it below so that all may read it
again and see exactly what it says.
1t is as follows:
THE POPULIsT ADDRESS.
To the People: The conspiracy of
gold and monopoly is nearing it's
elimination. Every advance it has
made during the last twenty five
years has been by adroit and
stealthy processes. These would
have been impossible if it had not
had it's agents ard confederates
holding positions of public trust in
the legislative. executive and ju-
dicial branches of the government.
Neither the beneficiaries nor the
tools of this conspiracy have any
particular politics. In name the
last administration was Demo-
cratic. The present administration
is called Republican, but it has in
glOriously practiced and defended
the perfidiOus policies of it's prede-
cessor.
At length the selfish and brutal
interests behind this conspiracy
deem themselves strong enough to
dispense with the caution and du.
plicity hitherto necessary to their
success. The administration boldly
avows its Endorsement of their
scheme against the liberty and
prosperity Of the people. Within a
few weeks it has formulated and
sent to Congress bill, the leading
purpose of which is, in the words Of
the Secretary of the Treasury: 'eTo
commit the country more thor.
oughly to the gold standard"
This country has during the past
twenty-four years suffered enough
Of the blighting effect of the gold
standard, so far as fraudulent legis-
lation and executive usurpatiOn
have been able to establish it. II
is now boldly proposed to legalize
what has been done in defiance OF
law and to use the power secured
by false pretenses from long suf-
fering and too trustful people to
put upon this infamous design the
stamp of alleged popular authori-
Zation.
In the pursuit of this purpose OF
committing the country more thor
oughly to the gole standard the
plan of this administration, as of
the last, is to retire the greenbacks
and other non-interest bearing
paper money of the government, to
issue Unconstitutional gold bonds,
and to increase the powers, privi-
legs, and profits of national banks.
This achievement would turn over
the duty of supplying the peoples
money, the very life blood of bust
ness, to selfish, heartless, and
irresponsible foreign gold syndi-

WASHINGTON, April %, 1898.
Mr.. GEO. Il. JONES,
Rocky Point, n. C.
My DEAR SIR: Your esteemed
favor received and carefully con-
sidered. / agree with you in much
that you say, and were it not that
most evil and dangerous influences
were controlling our government
and producing hard times in the
midst OF plenty, it might be proper
for us to be Influenced by the seDti-
ments you express.
But in times like these, when
the welfare seventy millions of
people, including our own wives
f"nd children, is at stake, our judg-
ment and conscience alike call upon
us to meet the situation from the
highest plane Of patriotic duty.
| You say that you endorse and
that every patriotic man should
endorse the sentiments Of the recent
address lss6ed by the twenty-five
lSoDniist Congressman and Sena-
/ tors, appealing for Incorporation OF
ali who are opposed to the rule and
nomination of the gold ring and the
allied trusts and monopolies; but
YOU say it will not work in practice

middle Chagres into a large lake, the
ascent to be made by five locks on
each side, of 294 feet each, making
the summit-level about lat feet
above sea. A modification of this
reduces the summit level by a deeper
cut through Culebra and used four
locks, and substitutes for the dam in
the upper Chagres and the supply
conduit, q dam at GambOa, in the
immediate vicinity of the canal.
The second project would still
further reduce the sum mit-level to
about 100 feet elevation, with a cor
responding increase in the depth of
excavation through the divide, and
use three locks of 33 feet lift. If
the Investigations in progress show
this to be practicable, a single great
dam at Bohio would convert the mid
die Chagres into lake of such capac-
ity as to take care of the floods with
out assistance.

"Our little boy Royal had fits. He
would drop to the floor, sometimes for
ward, sometimes backwards, as If he was
dead, and If he was eating. his head
would drop on to his plate, SO we had to
hold up his head all the time he was eat
ina. II he went across the floor someone
had to lead him, and the slime would run
from his mouth. His stomach was SO
weak that his food would not digest. and
every muscle of his body would twitoh
SO it was impossible for him to do any
thing.
"For two years we took him to our
local doctors and they could do nothing
to help him, and they advised us to take
him to a specialist. We did SO and he
told us that he had epilepsy and was in
curabie. He lost his speech for six weeks
and continued having the fits SO he
would have nine or ten in a night. We
saw DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy advertised in the paper, SO
got bottle and gave it to Royal as di-
racted, and in three days the fits left him
