materials? You will never get pro-
portionate rise for your wheat. You are
a wage slave. and competitions law
makes you labor for only enough to
barely support your life. The arms
that feed equally both old party ma
chimes, will soon reach out to monopo-
lize the Manila hemp production. When
American capital controls that, then you
will find that the rise in the price of
your binding twine will not be kept
down unless you socialize far more than
your lone government factory at Still
water; far more than the Democratic
machine would permit, unless you over
throw this present government, which
is not your government, but the govern
ment of those who plunder you. Yes,
take the government especially from
those protesting reform, but whose
positions in life, connections with the
monopolies through old party machines,
and whose jealous, selfish quarrels
among themselves proves that you
should not expect any aid from them,
and have nothing to do with conflicts
concerning interests of theirs, not
yours. Bind and hold in check such
men by our present club system. Make
these clubs active educators; else the
republic will never be freed.
FUSION TACTICS FORETOLD.
Fusion traders, who have cursed every
noble movement since the world began.
and are now running Democratic blind
pigs, will call a pretended peoples
party" convention, previous to the Dem
ocratic convention next year, and nomi-
nate Bryan. 1t remains to be seen if
the Democratic convention will after
wards treat Bryan as was Ben Butler.
Common guesses as to the result will
not influence YOUR DUTY NOW, unless
you are unwise and untrue both to
yourself and surroundings. If the Dem
ocratic convention shelves Bryan, as
Paul Dixon thinks, then the division
caused thereby would surely resul. in
Republican success. Or if, as the editor
of the Referendum thinks, Bryan will
be small enough to wink at the demands
of the money and other trusts (and Bry
ans harmoniZing efforts last week 10
Chicago to reconcile the silver with the
gold Democrats justifies this surmise);
and, should Bryan even be elected as
one of our most reliable and able Of
POpulists, Capt. Lowe mistakenly, it
seems to me) adds, in either event the
people will be in the SOUP" Too bad
we are so suspicious of glowing Demo-
cratic promises made through such men
as Corser, Lind's right-hand bower
Corser, standing for Eastern money
lOaners! Corser. lie money loaner.
YOUR CHANCE.
There never was a better time for you
farmer, to start truly referendum
party on advanced lines. This is wha.
our party is. Later, when you have
formed, purified office seekers behold as
they will considering the way things
are now going), Republican victory in
evitable, they will flock to fuse with
you. Then Paul Dixon thinks, "the
Peoples party will in one day grow by
1OO 900 votes.'
"He who dallies is a bastard
And he that doubts is damned"
Shakespeare.
DELAY FATAL.
What are you going to do about it
farmer? You ale doing nothing now.
Your only hope IS In IMMEDIATE ac-
ton. One dolla" spent now is worth
$25 next year. One man signing and
to the would his memb arsi,ip
under our national and state re;orcI-
dunn plans of r@sniz alton is worth a
full club mkt year. Without the means
that both old parties equally command
from the liquor, railroad, banking and
many other trusts, we will, If we wait
be at frightful disadvantage. If you
are true therefore, you will, as the So
cialists have done, work the year round
You have one hundred times their
chances of winning.
We are glad clubs are being formed
We have just received
from two congressional
districts of Minnesota, stating that
clubs, varying in size from three to
twenty members, have been formed in
the majority of their voting precincts
but for polite reasons they consider it
best at present not to publish them. But
it is prudent, before it is too late, to
warn those who have not yet organized
that not enough clubs have as yet been
'Ormed considering the fast flying time
Wherever possible report such clubs to
encourage others.
A PRACTICAL PLAN WORTH
EVERYTHING.
We know it is hard now to form
clubs owing to the Indifference of people
IN every party. Therefore we are di-
rected to make this suggestion, to ex-
oedite matters.
Let every Peoples party voter, willing
10 subscribe to our national and state
plans of organization mail me a postal
m that effect ,ot him also send a6-
