prejudice with portion of the Republican
party is as strong today as 1t was at the
close of the war, and it is still engendered
and kept alive by the sons of veterans who
will use it to the same advantage as their
sires have done.
Now, there is only one thing possible that
is the entire disbandment of the Democratic
party, for If the Democratic party lives
muc ch longer the Republican party must die.
The money power has used it to defeat all
the reform org anizations that have been

the old greenback party, the union labor
party, and recent history shows what it
has done for us and w. ]. Bryan.
Now, friends, there is only one course,
think by commencing to organize at once,
these Democrats are SO disgusted that they
will break ranks and ccme to us and 1t
should be done at once.
l am in favor of a state meeting some time
in January, and have a general all-arOund
talk to organize and invite these poor, hon
est, but deluded fusonists back. 1 think
they will be all right from this time on, for
they have tried fusion and found 1t a fiat

Let them strike as much as they like,
To us it's a perfect boon,
Merrily high the prices fly
In monopoly's big balloon.
Though they starve by bits in the inky pits,
Though their children cry for bread,
The end of the game must be the same
King Capital keeps ahead.
Good pay? Absurd. Upon my word.
What more can men require?
You speak Of the poor-what they endure,
Deprived of their bit of fire.
II we who control the price of coal
Reduced at this time of year,
Our dividends, my worthy friends,
Would rapidly disappear.
I'm willing to add that the work is bad
And dangerous, too, to face:
But when one stops and reels and drops,
There's another ta take his place.
Supply and demand throughout the land,
BY that we stano or fall
We're dealing in Goals, but bodies and souls
Are not in our line at all.

DEMOCRACY IS DEAD
Come Back, FusiOnists, and Help the
Peoples Party Do the Work 1t
Started to Do in. 1892.

Ed. Shoals, Ind, Referendum:
While our vote throughout the state was
extremely small, it seems as though every
county in the state had the semblance of an
organization. My county (Rusk) comes to
the front with just six votes. While it looks
exceeding small it only shows that we are
al the bottom in numbers, but credit
is sustained and our party machinery is in
good hands for the next campaign. The
poor, ignorant fusiOnists, with his entangl-
ing alliance, is lead-dead even way out
in Nebraska, where Vincent hung on Bry-
ans coat tail after the election We find
Vincent, Bryan and coat tail are all gone.
Let the recent election in the West warn
all fusionists not to monkey with the Dem
ocratic party, for it has proven a traitor to
every cause 1t has ever espoused, and the
prejudice Is so great against the Democratic
party that, while it looks like it had the
numbers it never has the majority on
election day.
1t never has been successful as an Or
ganiZation since the war. 1t elected GroV ,r
Cleveland twice. but it was done at the in
stigation of the Republican party. And 1
think the Republican party owns and con-
trolls the Democratic machinery
Take the western states for example.
The state of Kansas was one of the strong
est Republican states in the union till 1890,
and the Democratic PARTY has been its op-
position from the last great civil war. 1t
never could break the ranks of the Repub-
iican party, but just one year before it went
Populist 1900, it gave a Republican ma
jority of $1,000. And it was the same with
Nebraska, the Dakotas and every single
state in the west that was snatched from
the Republican column was done by the
Pcpulist party. And every state south that
was taken from the Bourbon Democrats
was taken by the Populist rarty.
In fact, through the Populist party is the
only way by which the Republican party
can be dethroned. The Democratic party Is
not an honest opposition party. 1t never
has been since the war of the rebellion.

FLASHES OF RED LIGHT.

What Share Has the Producer in the
Products of His Labor.
Our carpenters build magnificent man
siOns, with pillared walls and mosaic
floors, and as soon as their work is done
they pick up their tools and leave, and
never go there any more.
Our mechanics make electric lights
and use filthy kerosene at home; they
build carriages and go afoot; they man
ufacture pianos and do not own a tin
whistle.
Our miners dig up gold and die poor;
they live in treacherous coal mines,
and lack coal in December.
Our farmers raise grain and lack
food; export wool and cotton, and lack
Overcoats in winter sell cattle to pay
off the mortgage, and lack meat.
Hundreds of the men who helped to
build our railroads are now counting
the ties from San Francisco to New
York.
Hundreds of young men whose parents
were those hardy Western pioneers who
transformed a wilderness into civiliza-
ton, are today without foot of land
and without hope.
Our marvellous inventions have been
monopolized SO that, in spite of the
daily miracles of our machinery, the
hungry still lack food and the homeless
wander through the streets
Every recent change in legislation has
been to protect property and to disfran-
chise men.
Already in the evolution of the world
many plants and animals and profess
sions have become extinct We no longer
have the stage-driver, the handweaver
the lamp-lighter, the chimneysweep,
the lantern bearer, the slave-dealer, the
pirate, the publican, the scribe, the ar
morbearer or the courier; they have
passed away like the mastodon and buff
falo.
Will the universe fall apart if we add
to this list the banker, the broker, the
usurer, the landlord and the monopo-
list?
What remains when you rob slave of
his chains? His liberty. What remains

Fashion Notes.

Hungry faces and ragged clothes do
not go out of fashion.
Expensive hats are no longer worn by
women who woAA 10 hours day, nor by
the wives of wage slaves anywhere.
1t is not fashionable for men who own
banks to wear overalls, but they do lots
of dirty work just the same.
The style of prosperity enjoyed by the
working class remains the same.
1t is still stylish for the honest WORKER
to have a wrinkled face and bent back.
His master looks slick and fat and dress
es like prince.
Steady jobs for workingmen are going
out of fashion

numbers of people to hunt for employ
ment.

Assuming that the value of the annual

which has been denied coinage at the

End. The suspension of the free COIN
age of silver in 1873 was NOT the pri-
mary cause of the continued fall in
prices and of the industrial and financial
distress of the United States.
Says Senator Jones, of Nevada, in the
same speech already quoted: Ten mil
lions of a population that had not been
using the money Of the union were ad-
ded in April, 1865, to the "a millions
population of the northern states without
a dollar of money being added with
which to do their business. That fact
alone was equivalent to an enormous
contraction of the currency =
Instead of prices rising or even remain
ing firm-instead of the country becom-
ing more prosperous, as was to be ex-
pected when these enormous armies were
disbanded, times began to grow harder,
as every man now living who was then
of age can remember. At the close of
the war private debt among the people
was less PER CAPITA than at any other
period in the history of the country BY
1873 THE WHOLE FRAMEWORK OF
BUSINESS WAS HONEY-COMBED
WITH DEBT. PROPERTY IN EVERY
DIRECTION WAS MORTGAGED. AS if
the contraction l have referred to was
not enough, Secretary Mccullough, Sec
retary of the treasury under Johnsons
administration, commenced in 1866 de-
stroying the money, upon whose volume
the prices Of all commodities and prop
erty depended"
Says Mr.. Bryan in his hand book on
currency, chapter " page SO:
"At the close of the war the North had
nine hundred and eighty-five million dol
lars and "a millions population; this was
