1t look Rome longer to fight its

conquer the world after the begin

acquire the first few thousand dol.

The beginning of the accumulation
of large fortunes has just begun.

The White House Syndicate, Trocha.

1t may be said that so far as it has had
time to lay the worm Of its defense trocha
the White House combination has lost
no chances. With the price of political
and official pap" it has bought the
controlling interest in the committee in
each house, which, at some stage Of the
game, may promote or delay indefinitely
a resolution of inquiry. Beyond perad-
venture, the inveStigation-seeking MEN,
Der of senate or house who next DeCem-
Der endeavors to write upon the public
bulletin board in flaming characters the
blood-money record of the White House
War Syndicate will meet opposition.
At every turn he will be confronted by
the man who has received his price.
Equiyocation and delay will meet each
lonest effort to stamp the guilt upon the
syndicate. The waste-basket and the
pigeon-hole await the resolutions asking
embarrassing questions. But the effort
to inaugurate an investigation will sue
ceed. Bold as is the syndicate, unscrup-
ulous as are the men who have directed
the administration acts to shape their
ends, all pecedents are against any
scheme to throttle the inquiry too soon.
The resolutions will have to. be referred
and reported upon without seeming bias
to hoodwink the man with vote; like
wise the man with tax receiFt. 1t is in
the progress, sCope and direction Of the
investigation where the work Of the syn
dicate may reap results. There facts can
he suppressed, conclusions shaped, and

1t is especially important that a
persons to whom the call for the pri
mary election on July 80, as found
on page s, is addressed, should read
it carefully and make preparation to
attend and urge upon Others the
importance Of doing the same. With
good vote polled, the Crawford
county system is the fairest and best
method OF nominating candidates.
With a small vote il may be the most
unfair. Where it has been tried
and failed it has been for this reason.
The ballot is secret and each per-
son expresses his individual choice.
Too much stress cannot be placed
on the importance Of attending
the primaries. This is the fountain
from which all else springs. If the
will Of the people is here expressed
there is little danger later. The de-
cision to nominate in this way was
reached by a nearly unanimous ac>
tion Of the populist county central
committee. They then invited the
democratic county central commit.
tee to join in a joint call, and to
this they agreed unanimously. The
most perfect harmony prevailed and
it only remains now for the friends
of each candidate to muster his full
strength on the Goth day Of July and
nominate the candidates to be
elected in November.
People's voice., 1899-07-13

One Of the principal plaoks IN all
populist platforms is a demand lor
the initiative and referendum; tor
the substitution Of a purely demo
cratic for a representative form o.
g government; Tor referring all lmpor'
tant questions directly to the people
Not until this is accomplished, in q
measure at least, will the other re-
forms demanded ever be realized
The nomination Of candidates for
the different county offices is ecr-
tainly an important matter. As will
be seen by the call printed elsewhere
in this paper this has been referred
to the prorIe.

From merchants in the city Of
Wellington the following facts have
been obtained: Binding twine
bought last year wholesale at 6
cents, costs 81 cents this year.
Riding plows advance So to S., and
another advance promised this
month. Nails, wholesale last year
Sl.SS, now 1894. Barb wire whole
sale last year sl.Ss, now S4.O4. Gas
pipe wholesale last year 8 cents, now
30 cents. Stoves S5 per cent ad.
vance; furniture Is per cent advance,
and so on through the list. These
advances in prices are made by the
trusts controlling each article.
Rockefeller is levying tribute today
upon every home in this land using
petroleum in any form, and almost
every home in the world. He will
soon have the business Of the world
cornered. Havemyer is levying
tribute upon every home in this
country using sugar and so on
through the list. The tax gatherers
are doing their work on a larger
scale and more effectively than were
those against which James Otis and
Samuel Adams protested, and doing
it without any form Of law and in
spite Of the protests Of their vicims.
So long as the republican party re-
mains in power trusts will continue
to grow under its fostering care as
they have in the past. So long as
dollars and not men dominate the
councils Of the party in power, so
long will trusts fatten and thrive.
The people are becoming aroused
as never before. They are prepar,
ing to hurl from power the party
which is responsible for the exist
ence Of these modern mOnstrosities.
Pretense and loud proaestations will
not avail in the day Of Judgment
soon to come. The party Of the
national bank, Of the tariff, and to
whose support all OF the greal
moneyed Interests have rallied fol
years, the party whose enormoa'
campaign funds are contributed b,

merchandise than we receive. The

peaceable means is being resorted

Nowhere is socialism so strong as in
Belgium. 1t is only question Of a
short time, if it continues to grow as
in the past, until an object lesson is
given, showing how vastly better it
is than those now in force in the

great questions now confronting it
than is generally believed. Little
