In a recent speech at Buffa-
10 Hon. VIM. j. Bryan is quot
ed as saying that the demo
cratic party will be reunited
in 1900. He says it does not
mean that western democrats
willabandon the money issue,
or that eastern democrats
have made up their minds to
acceptfree silver, but that all
democrats will get together
on a harmonious platform. If
the prophecy means anything,
it means that the democratic
party in 1900 will straddle
the money question in order
to make it acceptable to all
elements and it consequently
will mean "all things to all
people" The democrats will
then have harmony to burn,
and with Bryan, Croker, Har.
rison, Bland and Belmont in
the front ranks of the grand
procession the spheres them
selves will for the moment
doubt their supremacy as the
divorced solons again assume
the marriage vow and once
more sit down to enjoy the
infare feast.

The most damnable curse
with which labor has to con-
tend is the blacklisting sys-
tenn. BY it's use corporations
not only unjustly punish dis
charged employees but they
coerce and intimidate those
who remain in their employ
ment as we'll. The Populist
Legislature of Kansas passed
a law prohibiting this evil,
and.every state ought to fol
low. The idea that a man,
simply because he is employ
ed by another, must submit
to abuses and bad treatment
is vicious and barbarous ard
ought not be tolerated by a
race that processes enlighten-
ment.

SCIENTISTS say that the possibilities
of liquid air are almost beyond limita-
the place OF steam, electricity and
also of one half of the laboring
population. Prof. TIipler, who is it's
original inventor, claims that it is self
productive and of very little cost and
the time is net very far distant when it
will furnish the motive power of the
age. Inventions are always blessing
If they are used for the benefit of all,
but when they are monopoliZed in the
hands of few they Cypress the human
family. But let them come; the sooner
tie masses are forced to protect them
selves, the better.

Our republican friends will
no doubt be glad to learn that
William Waldorf Astor has
just escaped from paying $780,
600 taxes in this country be-
cause he lives in England.
You can always depend on
the courts to come to the res
cue of the capitalists. AS a
result the masses will be tax
ed so much harded to raise
the necessary $4,000.

Topeka is roaring because
her small factories have been
"gobbled" up by larger east,
ern concerns. We hope the
corporations will absorb ev-
rything in sight so that the
people will vote for govern
ment ownership through alb
solute necessity. The average
man will defend a thief until
he himself is held up in
broad day light face to face
with his aggressor. Then
he'll get his eyes open and be-
gin to roar. When literature
fails to educate a man there
is only one thing in which to
place reliance. That's exper-
fence.

THE question as to whether
theWestern Union Telegraph
Company is greater than the
state of Kansas, will be de-
termined by the supreme
court soon. By an act passed
by the legislature, introduced
by Senator Titus, telegraph
rates we're reduced to a point
where the company can still
realize great profits but where
it does not rob a transmitter
of a message outright every
time he sends a message over
the wire. The company re-
fused to comply with the law
and numerous suits have
been brought to compel COM
pliance. Whether or not the
law will be sustained is a mat
ter of speculation. In COM
mon justice it ought to be
sustained. Government own
however, is the only
ultimate remedy.

1HE fact that country's wealth is
great does not make 1t prosperous
Rome, Greece and Persia were nations
of great wealth when they collapsed.
The trouble was that the wealth was
centralized SO that there was stagna-
ton among the masses. Show us a
country in which the wealth is equally
and generally distributed, and We will
show you prosperous, healthy govern
ment; but show us a country in which
the wealth is centralized, and we will
show You government pregnant with
revolution, strife, misery and impend-
ing peril. The results are as natural
as the eternal laws of the Omnipotent.

The man who does not man
ifest an interest in political
affairs is making the same
grave mistake that he does
when he neglects his own pri-
vate affairs. Remember when
you go to pay your taxes and
find that they are from three
to five times as high as they
should be, it is because the
greater per cent of the people
are not interested in politics.
If you are a producer and
your products do not sell for
more than the mere cost
of production, it is because of
a lack Of interest in politics.
The laborer who is ground
down to hand-to-mouth and
sometimes without life's ne
cessities, can charge it all up
to Indifference to politics.
And when the masses pay
taxes to monopolists by pay
ing dividends in the way Of
outrageous prices for food
products, it is all due to the
fact that they allow this class
of people to run the govern
ment. Politics is nothing
more nor less than a simple
pie business proposition and
when you neglect it, you are
as foolish as when you neg
lect to cultivate your crops
or feed your stock. There is
no disgrace in politics except
as you permit it with your
vote.

WHEN Funston was pro-
NOTED to Brigadier- General,
military custom demanded
the promotion of Ed. Little
to the colonelcy, but Gov.
Stanley ignored Mr.. Little
and appointed Maj. Metcalf
who was below Little in both
rank and ability. Little is
also a Populist. Who says
politics is not a big factor in
war?

INDICATIONS at present are
that the two wings of the
democracy will soon be to-
gether. At a meeting of the
eastern and western elements
recently it was decided that
Bryan should become the
presidential candidate and
Belmont the vice,presidential
candidate, in 1900; the silver
question will be left in the
background and the party
will pretend to oppose trusts.
If this agreement should be
finally ratified by the nation
al democratic convention, fus-
ion between the democratic
and Populist parties will be
at an end, excepting, perhaps,
locally. This is the only So
luton. Two parties and two
creeds will not succeed per-
manently and where there is
temporary success it is not
satisfactory to either party
because the official elected
does not know whom to serve.

"IHE people who own this country
propose to run it, said prominent
vice president Of large railroad COM
pany recently. When Intercepted AS
to what he meant by 1.-The people who
own this country, ''he explained that he
meant the people who own the greater
portion of the wealth. There are more
than seventy millions of people IN this
country and less than three millions
own more than 60 per cent of the entire
wealth, who, according to this eminent
capitalist, are going to run this coun-
try Nor were his words idle or with
out a purpose. What re said is true.
The middle classes and the poor havs
now only partial voice in public affairs
and time will surely come when they
will be entirely disfranchised unless
they wake up and institute radical
change. AS it now Is, the masses have
very little to say in legislative affairs
but wealth is represented everywhere
with strong lobby and the demands
of the wealth owner are Invariably for
mulated into law. But you answer that
it will ever be thus and cannot he oy-
ercome. In that you are wrong. The
people are always supreme if they will
exercise their supremacy. Direct legis-
lation is the remedy because it gives
the people leverage by which they can
make their own laws, and is one of the
few things wealth cannot defeat. When
that principle of freedom is once put
into force, the people who live IN this
country, instead of 1.-The people who
own this country" will run it.

If the whole people owned and oper-
ated all industries, liquid air would
benefit every soul in the nation. by in
creasing the amount of wealth they
could receive for a given amount Of la
Dor, or if they had all the good things
they wanted, it would lessen the time
they need to labor. As it is, it Will
