the EFFORTS made by the Democrats of
the entire South to disfranchise Popu-
lists.
1t may be that the Populists of the
Northwest are treated with some degree
OF courtesy and fairness by the Demo-
Gratis, but this is only because of the
fact that without the assistance of the
Populists. Democrats can not hold Office.
and because Populists are strong enough
to dictate terms to Democrats. but in
the South but one alternative is pre-
sented, and that is to disband our or
ganization, surrender our principles, be-
come yellow dog Democrats and indorse
all that is done by the machine. This
we can never do as honest and self
respecting men; and we most seriously
object to being traded of by Populists
OF the Northwest to our worst political
enemies, In exchange for few county
or state Offices for themselves.
Mr.. Towne Is, possibly, good man,
and he may merit all the nice things
you say about him, but I am exceed
1ngly sorry he is caught in bad COM
pany, and / hope his fate may not be
that of Old Tray. / believe that 1t is
written in the books that he is to be
thrown down at the convention at Kan
sas City. know that the Democrats of
the South are unanimous for his de-
feat, and for the nomination OF some
man who will conciliate the some time
boilers of the East In that case,
what will the Populists of the North
west do? Will they assert their inde-
pendence as formerly, or will they SUI
pinely surrender and fall into the rear
OF the Democratic procession, and by
that confess that their only object was
to hold. on. to the state and country
offices in their own states?
No. Bro. Edmisten, l can not help
you in this work There Is but one
thing for us to do in this state, and
that is to destroy the desperate politi-
cal machine which has been built by
Democrats for the disfranchisement of
the voters.
l have not written this in any spirit
OF rancor or controversy, but for the
purpose of laying the situation in this
state before you as it is. Please let me
hear from you; and II you can give a
single good reason why Kentucky Popu-
lists should support the Democrats this
fall. l shall be very glad to have it.

The Representative:
hasten to inquire what arrange
ments the committee have made for the
referendum ballots for the several con-
gressional districts. The time has come
when we must organize. The First dis
trict wants ballots, and has thought
best for the Representative to get them
up in blank form then each district can
for the county one to be done in the
same way. Let us know the probable
cost for said tickets and l will remit
for the First district.
Let every county in the First dis
trict report to me for ballots. Send in
the name of Peoples party men from
your county and from every township,
that we may get ballots to every voter.
We have placed candidates in the field
and now 1t is our duty to elect them
II it stands in our power. All authority
says there will be no reform until the
farmer gives it. Is the council of the
farmer the pOllcy OF the ADMINISTRATOR!
When the farmer furnishes u per cent
Of the soldiers why not cast Y per cent
of the ballots for their own homes, life
and prosperity? Our government is in
a dying condition, and the policy Of
the old parties is the disease to cure.
We must change the party to change
the policy. Place the Peoples party in
power Wharton Barker and Ignatius
Donnelly at the head of the government
and they will administer a balm for the
disease and our nation will live, be free
from war and debt at home and abroad.
Enclosed please find s. to help start
the getting out of the ballots. Yours

This question, raised three years ago
when President E. Benjamin Andrews
was forced out of Brown university
was revived few weeks ago by the
enforced resignation of President Henry
Wade Rogers of Northwestern. The
gold bug press has shown disposition
to pooh-pooh the idea that the political
opinion of these gentlemen had any
thing to do with their removal. But
on the subject in the same quarter,
Here are some newspaper clippings on
DR.. Andrews removal cited by Prof
Thomas Elmer Will, late president OF
Kansas State Agricultural college, in a
recent address at Chicago:
There can be no doubt that an advo-
cate of the unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 is not valuable

closing years Of the nineteenth century,

The trustees had, indeed, a right to
expect him to shape his teachings in

campaign illustrate the growth of in

In Virginia the Democratic candidate

Georgia Bryan lost $4,000 of the Cleve-

Louisiana gave Bryan 10000 less vote

That which nation soweth, that shall

No human power can stay the arm of
Jehovah, God, as His word declares it

standard, the greatest curse the world
has ever known, seven of the world 8
greatest civilized Christian nations, by
international agreement, seek by the
power OF private gold to subjugate all
wealth producers to its oppressive
power by concentrating all wealth in the
hands Of the few.
The conQuests of gold, owned by indi-
viduals, and made the measure OF all
values, has in 80 years been greater
than all armies and navies in the world
in 100 years, by its unequaled power
over money and property as medium
Of exchange for all wealth. Forty-one

and distribution in these seven great
nations, dictate all messages from en-

From the Republican party -conven-

forth by King Hanna to all the inhabi-

The reason the people of the South
are going to the Republican party is
exactly the same as that for which the
people of the Northwest look with ex-
pectations upon fusion. Each section
is tired Of the continued rule OF a party
they know to be corrupt and OF no
benefit to the people. AS a result they
have swapped to another party, just as
bad, but with whose methods they are
not familiar, thinking it more virtuous
than the dominant one in the section.
Ere long the public will realize that
both the Republican and Democratic
parties are to all intents and purposes
Identical. They declare for everything
but do nothing to benefit the working
man. The Peoples party is the place
for all but millionaires and bondhold-
ers.

of private gold over all labor and all
wealth. There can be but one real
money or honest money. and that is ex-
change for products or labor, without
value. Gold is a commodity owned by
a few individuals, and has a commodity
value only; and yet, by the most op-
pressive and dishonest legislation ever
enacted, it fixes it's own price in money
and, by that standard fixes the price of
every other commodity and labor also.
There never was one soumarkee of
money in gold bullion, it represents

stamp of money is placed upon it. AS
bullion it is valuless compared with one
bushel of wheat that will make bread.

commodities, it steals everything in

medicine, food or care; steals the bread
from blind children, enslaves the masses
