Some have no respect for truth,

Every breach Of good iaith- everyJ1
litical crime known to the category OF
modern politics-has been committed
under the name Of fusion-each faction
claiming innocence and trying to shift
the responsibility upon the others.
When the campaign Of 1896 was over
and Mr.. Bryan was defeated, true Pop
ulists hoped that the days Of fusion
and confusion were over, but it did not
SO happen. Mr.. Bryan's political am
bition had not been satisfied, and the
ties entered into between the Populist
and Democratic leaders in Washington
in 1895 were strengthened and continued
and hypocrisy. falsehood, deceit, double
dealing, bigotry and intolerance have
increased in like ratio.
For four years every effort OF our
leaders has been to exalt the Democratic
party and to crush Populism.
For four years Weaver Butler, Pat
terson & Co. have kept the trail hot,
travelling from state to state, attending
POpulist conventions, and using all their
eloQuence in an effort to deliver the
Populist party over to the Democrats,
as per the original scheme" entered in
to at, Washington in 1895, and it has
largely been due to the influence Of
these men that the fuso-crats made fools
of themselves at Sioux Falls and asses
of themselves at Kansas City.
Populists refused to vote for Sewall
in 1896, but in 1897 saw almost the last
straight Populist paper in Nebraska
and the Northwest crushed out. The
fusion papers have gagged free speech,
prevented facts and suppressed truth
the people have been misinformed and
misled-and now Populists are asked
to vote for Cleveland's old political ad-
wiser. Stevenson, in the name of liberty
and reform.
Fusion has been blessing to the
leaders who have held the Offices and
drawn the salaries, but what has be-
come of the reforms they promised?
What has become of the Populist or
ganization?
What has become of Populist prin-
ciples? .,+.~
What hope is there for reform in the
Democratic party?
Won't some Demo-fuso-cratic dupe
please tell us?-The Populist, Broken
Bow.

What is the right price for goods? +?
On what should it be based? If one
half cent pound is paid for the actual
labor of making pound of sugar, what
ought the consumer to pay? When is the
price turned into extortion. How many
middlemen should be allowed to take
toll out of it, and how much should
each be permitted to extract? If the
more midd1emen employed the better,
why not put all the idle people into mid
dlemen and not allow any goods 70
reach the consumer until they have
passed through the hands of all the mid

thing, why not employ all at something
useful instead Of having them simply
handle the goods without adding any
values? II two stores in a place are

They Are Humbug Issues,

Bryan in his speech here said that
the Republicans wanted a large army
and the Democrats wanted a small
army. According to their record in
congress, both of the old parties seem
to want good sized army. When the
bill was passed providing for the pres
ent army in the Philippines only 20
votes were cast against the bill in the
house and only 13 in the senate. It was
understood that this army was being
provided for the purpose OF fighting the
F1lipinos. Then the Democrats were
for sending an army over and cleaning
the blasted" Filipinos out. Now they
claim to be wonderful friends of the
Filipinos, but 1t is only In the play.
They wanted an excuse to throw over
the financial issue. and they sprung this
anti-militarism anti-expansion and
anti-imperialism issue. They did it for
the purpose of side-tracking the real
issues. But Populists refuse to be side
tracked and they will vote against both

The fusion conspiracy-fOr such 1t
has proven to be-has been wrong and
criminally wrong in every fibre. It
had its origin In a star chamber caucus
of fusionist Office holders and Demo-
cratic manipulators in Washington, D.
c., early in the summer of 1896. It
was first introduced in Nebraska, Dec.
Is, 1895, at another star chamber meet
ing Of 30 Of Ex-Governor Holcomb's
state house appointees, who launched
what they termed the "Non-Partisan
Silver league" with Bryan, Holcomb,
Hardy and Laws as the head political
manipulators. The object of this Mon
Partisan Silver league" was to kill the
Populist party, as will be seen by the
following address, issued under the fol-
lowing headlines:
"To organize every county-important
meeting of the Nebraska Silver league
plans made to send recruits from
Democratic, Republican, Populist and
Prohibition parties"
THE executive committee of the Ne
braska Silver league desires to appoint
one Silver Republican, one Silver Popu
list, one Silver Democrat and one Silver
Prohibitionist in each county as an
executive committee, for the organiza-
ton of the county and for the dis
tribution of literature. All persons in
