satisfactory incumbrance.

The Peoples party will not dis
band. 1t will become a more for
midable factor in the affairs of 1900
than it was in 1896. Tully Scott
(Democrat) Of Oberlin spoke the
truth when he said there was a "sin.
cere doubt in the mind of the aver.
age Populist as to whether the Dem
ocratic party would be able to
maintain in 1900 the stand it took in
1895, and until that was fully deter
mined he would be 10th to let 90
his hold on the Populist organiza.
ton" This Is true, and it furnishes
the reason why Populists should be
more cohesive now than ever be-
fore. By maintaining its strong in
dividuaIity the Populist party will
serve as a balance wheel in holding
the Democratic party TO the high
standard which it assumed in its last
national convention. Take away
this balancewheel and the temptation
to compromise with the eastern
wing Of the party would be very
strong. The western Democrats,
who are in full and active sympathy
with the Populist party, will find
themselves benefited in the end by
the present firm stand of the Popu
lists.
Our duty as Populi5ts is plain.
We should sit right down on the
coat-tail of our cousins, the Demo-
Gratis, and hold them steady to the
work. Should compromise in any
form come, then the Popufst party
will grow more rapidly than ever
before and the Democratic party in
the west will disintegrate.

the United States of $4,000, 600.

revolt when Great Britain tried TO
come that game on US, and did we
not declare our independence on the
theory that government should de,
rive its just powers from the consent
Of those governed" How are we
going to, get Our $2O,OOO,OOO back
unless we reverse this time honored
truism? The VOICE looks upon this
step as fatal 10 our peace of con-
science, as well as to our peace OF
arms. 1t will lead TO a large stand
ins army and navy, and wars and
rumors of wars that will b. a con-
tinual menace to our security. True
it will furnish jobs for our over
production of statesmen, but We fear
these will be no credit to the home
government, and that in the end
they will prove an expensive and un-
satisfactory incumbrance.
