diplomacy to the elbow. China will
be dismembered. We shall make mad
haste to do our brave butchers part in
what Roosevelt calls 1.-The worlds work"
Our promise will be broken to Cuba, as
Beveridge has advised. Military pro-
scription will become an institution. We
shall have the glamor of social dis
tinctions and the tinsel nobility of the
soldier shall jostle obsequious home
spun from the sidewalk. The springs
of public motive and private character
will be poisoned with the subtitle virus
of materialism, commercialism and sell
fishness. Little by little the old Americ-
anism will disappear and the nation will
enter upon the cycle of plutocracy de-
scribed by Aristotle and so graphically
exhibited by Froude in his history of
Julius Caesar.
These and whole wilderness of SINH
lar things are inevitable, as it seems 10
me, unless the coming panic, which can
not well be delayed beyond another year
or two, shall upset the full dinner pail'
in time to permit reversal of judgment
before industrial despotism shall have
become too firmly seated to be deposed
This is not very cheerful horoscope.
Fortunately for my own peace of mind
it does not, in my opinion, represent a
final condition. This world has seen
many eddies in the stream of progress
but the waters have moved onward after
each delay. If, after all, the great re-
public is, unhappily, not fated to realize
the hopes that millions have dared to
indulge for her, as the worlds final lib
Grafton from social, industrial and po-
litical tyrannies, yet her very failure,
after so many glorious achievements,
would clothe with firmer purpose and
inspire with nobler hope the next at

divinely appointed mission

ERYAN DEMOCRACY A
THING OF THE PAST
OLNEY AND CLEVELAND PREPARING.
TO CAPTURE THE SHAT
TERED PARTY,
Don M. DfckfnsOn Will Address an
Open Letter to All Democrats to
Get Them Together.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. S.-Ex-Post-
master General Don M. Dickinson said
that even before the votes wer4 counted
meeting was held in New York ut
which plans were decided upon for the
reorganization Of the Democratic party.
Within two weeks call will be spread
broadcast appealing to all Democrats,
silver and gold, to unite upon declara-
ton Of principles upon which the party
can win four years hence. Signatures
of prominent Democrats in every state
will be attached to the call and among
the names will be those Of Grover Cleve-
land, William C. Whitney and "A. S.
Hewitt, Of New York. While the call
has not yet been fully formulated, the
contents will practically be:
'The reorganization Of the Democratic
party is thing to be desired by the ele-
ments Of the Democratic party, the sill
yer and gold men.
1T was only through Bryan's defeat
that the desired reorganization could be
brought about; hence it was that this
year the gold men gave their strength to
Mckinley instead of setting up change
as in 1896.
Nov that they have unloaded Bryan,
they will bid adieu to their temporary
allies, the Republican party, and don the
sword and buckles Of the old-fashioned
Democratic type."-Populist Journal.

cate the country from It's present unfor-
tunate position cannot be hastily formu-
lated.
What plan shall be proposed for the
reorganization Of the party in order that
its real strength may be effectively ex-
erted, is a question which it seems to
me ought to be considered and decided
by conference composed Of conserva-
tive Democrats representing both ele-
ments Of the party as it has existed
during the last four years.
"All are equally interested In the
success Of the party on a sound and
patriotic platform Of principles, and
therefore all should be consulted both
as to the plan of reorganization and
policies to be announced.
"An immediate return to the conserv-
alive and patriotic position occupied by
the party before it was demoralized by
Populism and free silver Republicanism
in 1896, will invite all true Democrats
in an active opposition to the objection
able policies Of the administration, in
sure the success of our Northern friends
in state and local contests and prepare
the way for great national victory in
1904.

REPRESENTATIVE EXPRESSION RE-
BY JOHN G. CARLISLE

DETROIT, Nov. 9.-Ex-Postmaster
General Dickinson declares that before
the votes were counted in the presi-
Dental election, a meeting was held
in New York at which plans were dis
cussed and decided on for the reor-
ganization Of the Democratic party.
Within two weeks call will be spread
broadcast throughout the land appeal
ing to all Democrats, silver and gold,
to unite on declaration of principles
on which the party can be assured OF
victory four years hence. Regarding
the movement many expressions from
prominent leaders Of the party have been
heard, representative among which IS
the following by Hon. John G. Carlisle:
I'm order to achieve success or to
become beneficial to the country as an
opposition party, the Democracy must
abandon all dead issues, free itself from
all demoralizing alliance and return to
the true principles and policies of the
party. The new questions precipitated
upon the country by the conduct of the
present administration and the declara-
tions Of it's supporters must be met in
a broad spirit of justice and sincere re-
spect for the mandates of the constitu-
ton and the liberal principles upon
which our institutions are founded. We
have drifted into situation which
makes the correct solution Of these
questions exceedingly difficult, and the
party should give them most careful
consideration In all their aspects before
committing itself to any specific plan uf
adjustment. Upon the general prin-
cip!es involved there will probably be
measures to be adopted in order to cxtri-

An Able RejO1nder.

The Chicago American makes the
charge that Jo'A Parker was acting for
the Republican party in using his efforts
to re-establish the Peoples party. Mr..
Parker, after denying each and every
allegation, says:
II am Populist. I am not a Demo-
crat, and wish this to be distinctly un-
derstood. l have no choice between the
old parties, nor would turn my hand
to elect Bryan or Mckinley. Both the
old parties are defenders of the capital
istic system, and l had as soon be rob-
bed under Republican administration
as to be robbed under q Democratic
one.
"As Populist and as the official head
of that party, it is my duty to see that
there is ticket in every state, and in
every district. This l have fulfilled to
the best of my ability, and with limited
resources. l am making the best fight
l can with these tickets, wherever they
may be. If this is not doing my duty,
my whole duty, would like to know
why.
With your close connection with Dem
ocratic headquarters you cannot help
to know certain ex-Populists are being
literally supplied with money to turn
the Populist vote into the Democratic
party. Hence, repeat. that IL any
Populist Is taking assistance from the
Republican party to prevent the whole
sale delivery OF our vote to the organized
K Democracy. I"wou1d consider him a
much better Populist than he who is
taking Democratic money to deliver his
party associates to another party, thus
destroying the party If this be treason,
make the most OF it.
am in possession of correspondence
showing that men nigh in the ranks Of
the Democratic party have offered to
buy the influence of POpulist leaders
with the promises of Office and emOlu-
ments. That consider much more dis
honorable than the donation by a Re-
publican or Democrat Of money to
help Populist carry on the work Of
advancing his party. This consider 4
plain, open proposal of bribery, yet these
offers come from the very inner cir
cles.

T. H. Tibbles, editor Of the Nebras-
ka Independent, in recent issue said:
"The fusion forces have ever had
but one purpose: That of electing w. J.
Bryan president Of the United States" s.
In 1884 Tibbles was Washington
correspondent of the Nonconformist,
then published at Indianapolis as a Mid
dle-of the-Roa Populist paper. We
have some choice extracts from Tibbles'
pen in those days, which will make
rich reading now although the campaign
is over. Tibbles was such hot Mid
dle-of- -the-Roader then that he sought
interviews from leading men, who ex
hausted the history of the ages to prove
that no reform could possibly come
through an old and corrupt political or
ganization. Among other great men
Tibbles interviewed, April IA, 1894, Sen
ator Stewart, Of Nevada, on the subject
of fusion, and here is what the senator
said about it.:
"It requires the two old parties to de-
feat the people and prevent the suprem-
acy of third party; and it also requires
the two parties to furnish enough men,
bers Of congress and an executive to 40
the bidding of Wall street. The adop-
tion of the gold standard by the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act, which was the only law on our
statute books which provided for an in
crease of the circulating medium, could
not have been accomplished without the
use of both parties. The Democrats
furnished the president and enough
votes in the two houses of congress to
give the Republicans majority. Next
time, if the Cleveland Sherman program
is carried out, the Republicans will fur
nish the president and the Democrats
will furnish enough votes in congress to
assure majority Of gold men. ~~~-
'The third party is the only party,
which can liberate the country. from,
the rule of the money power. 1t is the
only party which is opposed to the
control of the government by Wall and
Lombard streets. The old parties are
organized to betray the people, and they
have served the purpose of their organ
ization most effectively. A fusion with
either of the old parties by honest Pop
ulists is a surrender Of principle. 1t Is
an admission that the old parties are
not guilty Of producing the distress and
misery which extend to the homes of all
laborers and producers. 1t is an admis-
sion that to associate with the organized
tools of extortion is not contamination.

ciples. and is opposed to the rule Of gold

test for the eternal right Don't get
excited. II there is to be new party,
let the old parties organize it. Let's not
do as they want us to do. Divide our
forces and pave the way to abandon a

treasure to organize

monopoly, whether it be called Demo-
cratic or Republican, it must keep aloof
from all entangling alliances. Ten Pop
ulists in state are nucleus of more
value than thousands doing battle under
the flag of either enemy. The fusion
of a party with honest principles with
the enemies of the people is an uncon-
ditional surrender Of principle. No man
is true Populist who does not prefer
defeat to dishonor. 4
Every successful reform known in
history was inaugurated by men who
would not compromise with wrong. It
was the incorporating faith and in
dependent action Of the early Christians
that converted Europe and all it's de-
pendencies. 1t was the Independent
action of Martin Lather and all his fol-
lowers which created the Reformation.
It was the uncompromising demands of
the mobiles of Great Britain that extort-
ed from King John the Magma Charta.
1t was the unyielding frmness of the
commons of England that revolutionized
the empire and extorted from monarchy
the constitution of Great Britain It
was the Independent action of the faith
ers of the revolution that gave us in
dependence and constitutional govern
ment. 1t was not until the cuckoos of
the crown were discarded and denounced
as tories and traitors that any progress
could be made in securing the rights,
much less gaining tho independence, OF
the colonies. 1t was An unyielding per-
ststence Of small band Of Abolitionists
in this country that resulted in the de-
struction of chattel slavery. II bond
slavery, through gold oligarchy is to
be destroyed, it.can .only be accomplish
ed by heroic independsnt action. Cuck-
oos in every age have been the most ef-
fective agency in eqslaving the human
race.
