correspondence Of the, Progressive Farmer:
70 those Who sincerely loyethe prin1ff
~ciples of reform and realize that the
PEOPLES party embodies them and can "a
alone, be entrusted with their ensaGct-
ment, it should be g matter Of great
qualification that fusion is rapidly run;
ming it's course. azl59so.
The Georgia Populists, in, their State
Convention, held in March. which was
the largest and most enthusiastic one
ever. held by them, BY a unanimous
vote decided to resist any more fusion
with either Of the old parties, Ken
lucky and Indiana have in their State
conventions made the same decisions.
Quite recently. the Pennsylvania
| State Convention met and by q ma e
iority of one elected 8 Temporary
Chsirman a man who had no creden7
tials and was really q Democrat, as
we're many others present as delegates.
In the election of temporary chairman
SIS votes were cast. -...4 mia i
The opponents of fusion withdrew
and organized with SO accredited dele
gates. It seems, therefore, that some
when euch an ultimatum as this was
presented changed their minds and
Joined in the revolt against fusion. .-
Sooner or later the Populists in sew,
eral States will have to make q like de,
cision or have their party go to ruin
under the selfish schemes Of fusion.
We have come to the parting of the
ways, and tho@e who profess TO be
Populists must take adetermined stand
for their principles or sec them sacri
feed to greed. ... II 20,
There is yet another matter for graft,
fcation amidst our many trials and
annoyancee-our principles have been
Igreatly extended despite the fact that
our party has greatly suffered from
the shortsighted, and in many instances
the criminal sel1shne % of leaders. >
There is another thing apparent-the
increased dissatisfaction OF, the people
with both the old parties. The people
are in a state Of fux-there will be a
tremendous movement ere long. Nc
one can, tell when it will come. Will
the Peoples party get back to original
principles and stand honestly and
bravely by, them and. thus catch and
utilize this movement and march on
to a glorious victory. or viii it allow
short sighted politicians to continue tc
dictate and trade on what influence il
has tsA left so Until n it's = opportunity ig lost lost

correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
I agree. fully with Bro Parker in his
letter in a recent issue OF The PRoGREs.
sIvE FARMER.
Let the people stand together for
principle, and let it be called fusion,
cooperation or whatever word suits
best. The masses of the people must
come together against the classes. A
true reformer is for reform, let his
name be what it may. Tt takes all the
people to crush the goldbugs and mo-
nopolists, and why in the name OF
Heaven oppose them coming together
for one purposes
Hon. Marion Butler has surely been
q peoples man, in the q, 8. Senate 40
far. and why not stop fighting him un-
til he betrays the people who put him
where he now is.
So all confusion ought to stop and
let all reformers, of whatever faith or
order, come together for the good of
the many against the few.
1 am no politician, no candidate
want no pie, but want a true govern,
-ment by the people. and for the people.
and in order for that to come about all
who favor this must get together and
stand together as one solid body of re-
formers and let goldbugs and goldbug-
ism take care Of itself. 'United we
stand, divided we fall"

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Ex-
cessive Use.

ceeSfVe Use.
Common soda is all right in its
place and indispensable in the kitchen
and for cooking and washing purposes,
but 1t was never intended for a medl-
cine, and people who use it as such
will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use OF soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands of people
practice almost daily, and one which
is fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief in the
end and the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestineS, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or peri
tonitis
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stom-
ach (acid dyspepsia), an excellent
preparation sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. These tablets are large 20 grain
lozenges, very pleasant to taste and
contain the natural acids, peptones
good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly
and promptly before it has time to
ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
Dr.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliable in any
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. All druggists sell Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets at Scots per pack
age.

stomach weakness and their cure mail
