Populism, will come to the surface
Steady there. boys! Help it over the
rough places, and stick this roll of
greenbacks into its pockSts!"
In 1896 there was a chance for reform
to win. Democracy could not carry a
state in the union; and the Populists
had p0lled nearly two million votes.
But they resurrected the sinking corpse
Of Democracy; our own leaders betray-
ed us; they strapped the cadaver on our
backs and we trotted forward to cer-
tain defeat.
And now they are in worse mess
than ever. They have not even any
patronage to dangle before the noses Of
our weaklings; they cannot promise our
fusionists even a ghost of a chance OF
plunder; and they will go into the next
contest as bare as a Highlandman with
out breeks.
They can no longer hold the body of
Populism before them, like q shield, to
take the arrows and spears of the
enemy; they must live on their own
ghastly record-and God help them.

We have no legal right to divert the

originally given, without the authority

THE END OF WEAVER.

Gen.: ]. B. Weaver, of Iowa, is an able
man. He has. twice been the candidate
of minority parties for the presidency.
He has a good brain, but there is a
worm-hole fn4>ft- t--called- fusion,
He would try to get into heaven by
fusing with the devil. Like 8. M. Owen,
he thinks there Is no difference between
light and darkness. because there is
twilight.
He has ruined reform in the great
state of Iowa; Ae has moved from one
congressional district to another in vain
efforts to go to congress-. He would
emfgrate to the North Pole tomorrow if
promised a nomination, and fuse with
the.seals and grizzly bears to be elected.
But the last~election has, we hope,
finished him. rAe Republicans carried

KENTUCKY POPULISTS SOLID ANTI
BRYAN.

BRYAN.
On our front page appears an article
from the pen Of our Kentucky friend
and co-worker, 10 A. Parker, that
should be carefully considered by every
Populist supporter of w. J. Bryan.
Mr.. Parker writes us personal let
ter in which he further states that the
election returns in Kentucky are no in
dication of Populist strength there, that
there are, in fact, more POpulists in
Kentucky than ever before, but that the
dangers from the infamous Goebel elec-
ton law compelled them to vote the
Republican ticket; and the language of
Mr.. Parker, cool and temperate as it is,
indicates clearly that IN 1900 if North
ern Populists insist on supporting Bry-
an, that Northern and Southern Pop
ulists will at that point cease to longer
act as one party.
In 1896, it is we'll known, Southern
Populists yielded to Bryan's candidacy
most unwillingly and under strong pro-
test, and that they did so from the most
patriotic purpose of preserving the
grand old Populist party unbroken.
Southern Populists have done their
full share towards preserving party
unity, and we wish to say that South
ern Populists have a right to regard as
their worst enemy w. ]. Bryan, when
that partisan politician enters their ter
ritory and tries to forever disfranchise
them by the establishment of the Goe-
bel election law. Read this front page
article, try to realize what Bryan has
tried to do for the Populists of Ken
lucky, and then If conscience permits
you to vote for any man who would dis
franchise half the people, it will be in
line to support w. ]. Bryan in 1900.

ALL KINGS LOOK ALIKE TO ME.


Morgan and the capitalists are openly
advocating monarchy. Americans
cannot study too carefully the char
acteristics common to all monarchies.
An American money king will soon
be just as odious to the common peo-
pie of this country as was old King
George.
Rudyard Kipling has recognized in
these great captains of industry their
true character. He has discovered in
these men the essential and distinguish
Ing characteristics of kings, and ex-
presses his ideas most beautifully in the
following verse:
All we have of Freedom-all we use or
know
This our fathers bought for us, long and
long ago.
Ancient right unnoticed as the breath we
draw
Leave to die by no mans leave underneath
the law.
So they bought us Freedom-not at little
Wherefore must we watch the King, lest
our game be lost!
Over all things certain this is sure indeed,
Suffer not the old King, for we know the
breed
Howso' great their clamor, whatsoe'er their
claim,
Suffer not the old King under any name!
Here is naught unproven, here is naught
to learn.
1t is written what shall fall IL the King
return.
Cruel in the shadow. crafty in the sun,
Far beyond his borders shall his teaching
run.
Bloven, sullen, savage, secret uncontrolled
Laying on a new land evil of the old,
hid;
Step by step and word by word-so the
old Kings did;
Step by step and word by word, who is
ruled may read.
Suffer not the old Kings, for we know the
breed.
All the right they promise, all the wrong
they bring
Stewards of the Judgment, suffer not this
King!
The time is fast approaching when
we shall all, with Kipling, see that street
car magnates, coal barons and captains
OF industry, so called, can appropriately
be classed under the common appelation
of kings, and reform will take a long
step ahead when the whole body of
American toilers paraphrase a we'll
known song and join as one man in a
grand and inspiring chorus, "All Kings
Look Alike to Me-" E. A. T.

OUR PREMIUMS.

Readers of this paper will be richly
rewarded if they will read carefully
our great premium offers found on an

Many people will exclaim, at first
thought, "Oh, l can't get subscriptions

Right here it is proper to offer a word
in argument. It is easy to sell what
people want, even at big price, It is
easy to sell what people are not SO anx-

enough and offer inducements.
We are offering these other induce
ments. If you meet a neighbor and
talk to him of argument you have seen
in the Representative, of the cartoons
that have provoked laugh, of the bar
gains you noticed in the ads of T.

good things you have found on the

without urging him to subscribe, IL you
