About Fusion.

II Populists will stop to think little
about this fusion business they can't
help but condemn it. In the first place,
every leading fusionist is either an
Office holder or an Office seeker. He is
riding In the Democratic bandwagon.
n he Is q candidate for congress. he can,
and perhaps does, say to himself: s.Fu-
sion means q salary OF 5000 to me.
Without it could not get that" And
so with every man who runs for Office,
even down to that which yields salary
OF 5000 a year. It is human nature
for men to yield to that kind of persua-
sion. Let every Populist draw on his
own experience and observation. Let
him take note of the conventions he has
read or attended. Every leading ad-
vocate Of fusion has been an Office
seeker. or Office holder seeking re-elec-
ton. Allen, Butler, Simpson, Weaver
and others of less note, all have sought
Office, or held office along the fusion
route. They have made money out Of
it. But the "boys in the trenches who
were expected to follow along behind
the bandwagon and yell until their
throats we're sore, have not been bene-
fitted by It, On the other hand, we
have paid dear for 1t. Our party has
been demoralized and disorganized
Estrangement has grown up between
the Southern Populists and those in the
Northwest. Where there was union
there is now dissension and factions
And all for the purpose of electing a
few men to Office. All for fight for
spoils instead Of principles. Great credit
is due those who have stood firm for
Populist principles and candidates Had
it not been for them there would be no
Peoples party today. And they stand
now with open arms, ready to forget
and forgive the past, and march shoul-
der to shoulder with those who were
led by the glamOr Of fusion 20 near
the lines Of the Democratic camp. Let
no one be misled by the false light of
Importation which the Democrats are
flashing for the sole purpose Of uniting
their own party and catching Popu1ist
votes. If there is danger of imperial
ism, there is as much danger through
the Democratic party as there Is through
tho Republican party.-Buzz Saw.

A combination or trust for the pur-
pose of maintaining monopoly in the
manufacture of necessity of life is not

recently asked of Gen. r. A. Alger, Of

they may be deprecated and however
hard they may try to down them"

TO BELIEVERS IN P0PULIsM

First. The Democratic party, through
its platforms and presidential candi-
date, emphatically declares itself for
a paper money that shall be redeemable
In coin. That, as all know, is not Green
backism.
Standing publicly pledged to "coin re-
demption," as the Democratic party does,
defending the doctrine of "coin redemp-
tion" on the stump and in the newspa-
pers; soliciting and obtaining votes of
bankers, capitalists and business men
throughout the country on the specific
issue of "coin redemption" who can
say that the Democratic party is not
really in favor of "coin redemption?'
think that the Democratic party, II sue
cessful in the coming election, will not
in all its policies and legislative acts,
carry out and enforce it's "coin redemp-
ton" demand? How then can any one
who believes in the greenback idea, and
who is utterly opposed to "coin redemp-
tion," have the faintest hope for the sue
cess of Greenbackism through the Dem
ocratic party? Is not a vote in favor Of
"cOin redemption" "coin redemption"
vote? It you want "coin redemption"
vote for either of the old parties. They
are both publicly pledged to the enforce
ment of that idea. If you are opposed
to that idea, and believe in greenbacks,
must you not, as men Of sense. vote in
favor of the progressive Peoples party
candidates, who stand pledged to the
Greenback policy?
Second. The Democratic party de-
mands the enlargement of the powers
Of the Interstate commerce commits
sion," thus declaring beyond all doubt
that it favors the continuance of the
present vicious system of private own
ership, by railroad kings, Of all the rail-
roads In the country; a system under
which American farmers are entirely
unable to protect themselves against the
mighty railroad robbery that each year,
for more than 30 years past. has taken
from them full quarter Of the value OF
all their productA
How. then, can the Democratic poll
ticians Except by the basest betrayal OF
those who own the railroads, and who
are furnishing Mr.. Bryan the elegant
private car in which he is riding all
over the country to ask the people tor
their votes) ever do anything whatever
to help the people own the railroads and
operate them at cost?
Third.-The Republican party Is op-
posed to tho principle Of direct legisia-
ton. The Democratic party favos
those principles whenever practicable, I"
which means that the Democrats favor
them In platform declarations only, new
er as a means of allowing the people 10
either initiate new laws. or to adopt or
reject any proposed legislation.
The greatest thief shut up in the pent-
tentiary, the worst murderer unhung,
even Mark Hanna, the horned devil of
Democratic dreams, may all assert that
they believe in the divine teachings Of
the Sermon on the Mount, and in the
virtue and correctness Of The Ten Com

mandments, whenever practicable" but
when an opportunity for stealing comes.
when murder Is to be committed or po-
litical job is to be rushed through, it
will always be found that neither the
thief, the murderer nor the politician
practicable"
If you favor direct legislation, do you
think you are likely to get it from a
party that thinks the principles of di-
rect legislation unapplicable as gener-
al rule. and that proposes to apply them
only when ''practicable?"
In Missouri, did not the same Demo-
cratic politicians who are now candi-
didates for state offices, secure the en-
actment Of nominating laws that pre-
vented the nomination by the Populists
the same Democratic law prevent the
nomination of Populist county officers
in 30 counties of; the state? Is this not
practical disfralchisement? Was not
this done by the Democratic party to
keep the Populists from voting as they
desired to vote? Was not this done
try to force the Populists to vote for the
Democratic party7 When do you think
party that will do as the Democratic
party has done right here in our own
state, will think 1t practicable" to rele-
gate the politicians to the rear and al
low the people Of the state to initiate
new laws or repeal old ones? If you
you hope to seq ic come? Can you hope
to see it CONC through the Democratic
party? tg
Fourth. Tha Democratic party is now
pretending opposition to the national
banking system. But is it not true that
the national platforms Of that party for
80 years had nothing in them against ma
tional banks? Is it not true that Sena-
tor Jones, the chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, only five
years ago, introduced a bill destroying
greenbacks. substituting national bank
currency for them, and providing for the
issue Of $500, 100000 untaxed coin bonds
as basis for national bank circulation?
1t is not true that all the Democratic
Office holders Of tho larger size are fav-
orable to the hanks, and daily profit
from their national bank investments? :?
In the Eastern and Middle states is
there Democratic congressman OF SEN

Among the many war relics, there is a
Springfield rifle Which was used by a
Tagal soldier. Two mess pans w.ich look
like tin bucket covers and are ~iade to
fit together in pairs. A Filipino soldier
would fill these pans full of rice and
then put them together and this would
be all the rations he ever carried.
There is also a Spanish uniform which
was found on a battlefield. The only
uniforms that the Filipinos had were the
ones they captured from the Spanish ar
senals. The trousers of these uniforms
are very baggy and only come to the
ankles The blouses are shell packets and
fit tight. This uniform and straw hat
completed the Filipino soldiers attire.
When they beat one of their famous has

hats and Mr. Barton said that sometimes
the fight of an army could BE traced by
the straw hats scattered along the way.
