EVOLUTION OF POLITICS.
am pleased to see that the evolution
Oh ponies indicates one of the best signs
Oh the times. In days long since all 1t
was necessary to do was to appeal IN tba
peoples prejudices and the contestfTa
parties had the most loyal support from
its iolIowers. have seen and heard
men say that they never voted anvthipp
out straight Republican or Democratic
ticket In the whole course of their lives
Graduaily this prejudice was displaced
oy intelilgence' and there has grown up
IN this country large contingent of In
dependent voters that will NOT foIlcv
olinoly their party's dictates unless II CIV
mink they are all right am pleased 70
see THIS victory Of intelligence over nra-
juice. L am glad to see that there ara
new reform parties branching out to such
an extent that each party who a few
years ago denounced those as anarchists
VINO advocated the control of trusts and
combines. public ownership of all nuh -
monopolies, etc.. and we have the novel
spectacle OF all parties hustIing TO make
tnese policies planks in their nat.o al
platforms L have great hopes for the
Iulure When we find that large con-
tingent of independent voters CROWNS,
larger and more determined each year

WHAT BRYAN SAID.
Il have recently had some corresron-
dence with Hon. w. J. Bryan on this
subject and he proclaims for it in the
following language:
am in favor Of opening and extend
ing our foreign markets by every possi-
bic peaceful means and 1 am anxicus
to see Americas merchant marine. 70
stored to the seas
Thus we find that each and every no.
litfcal party Is in favor of this pol;cv
that will bring a tower Of strength TO
our nation and a means of prosperous IN
Vestment to the capitalist and permanent
and profitable employment to the Amer
lean mechanic and laborer and the means
of promoting and establishing c)npeti-
ton in foreign markets that will enhances
the value Of the products of the farm.
This is as it should be. We want every
workman and farmer to cooperate in
joining in a demand that all political
parties VIII pledge themselves to sd o.
cate and work to put into practical laws
and that will give those measures which
will bring peace and prosperity to tie
American people. Let us all unite in
sending a message to our representatives
in congress that the resolutions covering
this subject is the united prayer and re-
quest of the farmers and laboriny men
as expressed In their national or state
conventions. What Is worth ing Is
worth the asking"
