will the Populists have straight ticket

The answer is they already
have straight ticket in the
field, the ticket nominated at Cincn-
natl, and though the names on it may be
changed, they will not be changed except
for other straight Populsts. and this ticket
will remain In the field until the polls close
in November.
But the referendum vote may result in
choosing Bryan?
mo one can be the nominee Of the Peoples
party for president unless ne be a member

A STRONG ADDRESS.

The Populists of Wisconsin have put
forth remarkably strong address to the
people. We regret that space will only
permit us to print part of it. We give
the concluding words:
To the thinking, honest voter it can make
no difference whether the Republican or the
Democratic ticket is elected in Wisconsin
this year. Neither party advocates true
principles of reform. The masses of both
are honest, but unfortunately many Of their
leaders are not.
If the Democrats had not adopted that
progressive platform in Chicago in 1896, the
party would be practically dead today-the
Populist would have carried most of the
Southern states, and there is no national
Democratic party without the South.
Now that the managers think that the
Chicago platform has accomplished it's OBJ
ject, the disruption Of the Peoples Party
"a great mistake on their part-many of
the spoils seekers in the Democratic party
are ready to drop 1t.
In Wisconsin the Democratic party has
failed to indorse the Chicago platform as
such under the specious plea Of making a
campaign on state issues and not one of
its congressional conventions which should
discuss national issues failed to mention
the grand declaration of principles adopted
by the Democratic national convention. In
the Second congressional district a motion
to indorse 1t did not meet with second,
and in the Eighth district similar motion
had to be withdrawn.
So the Democratic party is confronted by
this problem. If 1t reindOrses the Chicago
platform, it's Hills, Crokers Germans Car
isles and other political pirates will scuttle
the old ship. If 1t drops the Chicago plat
form, all honest, wide awake and progress
sive Democrats will join the Peoples Party.
It will be damned if it does,
And it will be damned if it don't
1t is doubtful if the Democracy. as such,
will ever be able to defeat the Republican
party. Republicanism politically means
fanaticism. bigOtry and prejudice. The un-
worthy apology for all that ever stood for
progress and civilization in American poll
tics, misnamed the Republican party lives
only on the prejudice it's members have
against everything labeled Democratic"
The Republican party will not die until
Democracy is dead, and out of the ashes Of
both must arise Phoenix-like new party Of
the people, by the people and for the
people.
Every honest and progressive citizen be
he Republican, Democrat or Popuist, shou d
vote the Peoples Party ticket headed by
A. A. Worsey for governor.
A largely increased vote for that ticket
will mean success for the people against
the explOiters in 1900.

affirmation Of the Chicago platform Of
1896. and obtaining control OF the state
organization in the personnel of the
state central committee.
TO MINNESOTA VOTERS.

The question of direct legislation, In
all it's branches. is the one important
matter which must be considered very
carefully by every voter, and acted on
Systematically, energetically and prompt
ly, if the common, everyday man is to
have any voice in the affairs of our gov
ernment.
The great fault of political parties
does not rest in the action of common
voters, but in the system of organization
which allows "tricksters," "boodlers"
and traitors" to exercise control of the
party machinery through methods en-
tirely unsuspected at the time by the
rank and file. Representative bodies is
the key of every political organization
except that of the Mid-Road Populists,
which has adopted a radical departure,
and declared against scaucuses and con-
ventions of all kinds. Our candidates
for Office, platform OF principles and
rules and regulations for governing our
party will all be made by direct vote OF
the members of the party. By this plan
one member has just as much to say on
every question as has another. "Slates"
cannot be put through by packing eau
cuses or by singing beer" and cigars
freely in order to get the floating popu-
lation" to take sides. Reason and busi-
ness interests will influence our members
to act for the best interests of all. We
do not slip collar on our members
necks and expect them to Jump whenever
the "boss' pulls the string, but we place
an instrument of protection in their
hands and say, use it as your best judg-
ment and heart of hearts dictates. That
instrument is the secret ballot, which
will be used by us for the determination
of every question. BY it's use, as planned
by this "Old Guard" and fully set forth
in the rules of organization adopted by
Mid Readers, the most popular and capa-
BILE men will get the nominations for
public Offices, and the most important
questions of reform will be pushed to the
front. Chronic office-seekers will be rel
egated to the rear and right will triumph
over wrong. Independent voters ought
to study the plan and profit by the oppor-
tunity to give the people an opportunity
to govern themselves without the dicta-
ton of .'bosses" Voters, study the plan
and give us your assistance.

Candidate Ringdal, who is asking the
people of the Seventh district to send
him to congress, is much displeased that
they should busy themselves in discuss
ing national issues in. connection with
his campaign. He prefers to make
fight on state issues. The Morris Trib-
une puts this terse and altogether fair
proposition to him:
Now, if Mr.. Ringdal will only stretch
his imagination enough to suppose him
self elected, and then attempt to tell us
what congressman has to do with state
issues, he will find that he has forgot
ten the rudiments of our constitutional
law. He might at least swap thunder
with those bogied anti-imperialists on
the fusion state ticket.

New York, Oct. 4.-The Tradesmen's
did not clear through the clearing house
Of which it is member, today. The
clearing house committee visited the
bank yesterday, and after careful ex-
animation of it's securities, found its
capital impaired, and advised an early
liquidation.
The bank was organized in the early
part of this century, and, while never
leader among the banks of this city, has
always been regarded as sound and con-
servative in it's business dealings.
1t occupies quarters in the Wool Ex-
change building The Wool Exchange
suspended business only few days ago.
At that time it was stated the bank was
in no degree concerned in the suspension
of the exchange, although it was not de-
MED that it had many wool accounts.
The capital of the bank was $75O,jJC III
the banking district the opinion is ex-
pressed that the troubles of the Wool
Exchange are indirectly respon-
sible for the Tradesmen's Ma
tiOnals troubles. Vice President
Homer Bates promised the clamor-
ing depositors today that the bank
would pay it's patrons hundred cents
on the dollar. He said further, that
the bank would resume as soon as all
its claims were liquidated.
The controversy which for some time
had existed between the New York and
Boston wool merchants, who, it was
said, drew on the bank recently to the
extent of 100000, was said TO De the
cause of the suspension of business of
the bank.
The latest statement Of it's condition
sent to the treasury department in re-
sponse to the call of the controller of
the currency Sept. 20 shows: Individ-
ual deposits, $2,O54,611; due banks and
bankers, $953,S71 surplus and undivid-
ed profits, $12S,0S3; loans and discounts,

last sovereign was in position and the
door could be locked.
To convey this gold to it's strong room
would require the utmost strength of
1000 horses, which would have to pull
a weight of 5.951 tons.
The sovereigns thus accumulated
would make golden carpet for the
whole of st. James Park, with a rem
nant of 3 2-3 acres to spare; and, If
placed edge to edge, they would form a

THE LEAVEN WORKING.

active in bimetallic circles In New York
in the campaign of 1896, is marsh;nling
the Bryan Democrats of the state. AS
chairman of the executive committee of
the Chicago platform Democrats Of New
York, presumably, a self appointive
committee, he boldly announces that the
Democratic state convention shall give
"a sweeping and unqualified indorse-
ment of the Chicago platform" or there
shall be two Democratic tickets in the
field. "If the platform is not indorsed,"
he continues, cor state ticket is nomi-
mated, any portion of which is unsatis-
factory to us, then we shall go on and
nominate our own candidates. We shall

clined to think there will be the occa-
sion for two tickets. We fancy t'.at
the silver Democratic ticket will not
cut much of figure.

Two POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWERED..
What is the use OF making better
article than competitor if you can not
get q better price for it?
= Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the pnblic to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.
