Dear Sir and Brother: Your kind let

be pleased to receive your speech, which
none of the democratic papers seem will
ing to print, but they have yet about as
much abuse for you as when you pitch

I am sorry to hear you say that mo

OF democracy in one part OF your letter
and praise it in another.
If the populist party is not born already
to live and defend the truth on all the
issues that go to make up the liberty
OF great people, no such party ever will
be born.

ialism Added to the Chicago Plat
form in 1900.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 13, 'oo.-N. H.
Motsinger, Shoals, Ind.-Dear Sir.-I
have your letter OF Feb. 9. l will send
you a pamphlet copy of my speech as
soon as it is printed 1t is said that ''the
darkest hour is just before the dawn -
and that must be the consolation OF those
who feel discouraged at the present out
look. The plutocracy is rushing madly
on, feeling that it will never be called
to an accounting. The increase in the
regular army demanded by the Hull bill
is more with view to sustaining capi-
talists and trusts than of holding our new
island possessions You are too impa-
tient. Large bodies move slowly and it
takes the masses a long time to under
stand that they are being hoodwinked by
the newspaper organs of our enemies,
and, in truth, I almost grow hopeless Of
their being led to understand what asses
they are and how they vote to perpetuate
their own wrongs and to aid in their own
robbery.
No third party can live in the United
States now, unless the democracy prove
recreant, and to that have no fears. The
Chicago platform will be reaffirmed. And
a new issue, imperialism, may be added
and must be added, unless Mckinley re-
volts from the dictation OF the commercial
classes and draws back. In my opinion,
the war in the Philippines will be more
deadly and more costly than the Spanish
war, and it will prove a veritable BOOM
erang to those whose policy has brought
it on. I do not know what course the
gentlemen you mention will follow, but
l imagine that they will be found in line
with the reform democracy, because it
is idle to talk about organizing another
national party under conditions now ex-
listing. The ''man on horseback" with
out chance, will come, as you say, in
evitably, but there must be one or two
more battles of the ballots at the polls
before the conditions of misery and
wrong will provoke civil war. Let us
hope that the people may come to their
sense and relieve themselves peacefully
of the burdens self-imposed. Let me
know what you think of my speech when
you read it in full Very truly,
Ben R. Tillman.
