! We're then. and upon these subjects
they have as much reason Fer &C oper-
alton with the democratic party to-
day as they had four years ago.
Democrats and populists alike favor
the principle of direct legislation. III
any differences exist as to the extent
to which the principle should be ap-
piled, tAese differences can be recon-
ciled by experiment.
Democrats and pOpulists agree that
Chinese and other oriental labor
should be excluded from the United
States.
Democrats and populists desire TO so
enlarge the scope of the interstate
commerce act rs TO enable the conf
mission to protect both persons and
places from discrimination. and the
public at large from excessive rail-
road rates.
The pOpulists approve the demand
set forth in the democratic platform
for labor bureau, with a cabinet Off
Ger at its head. Such an official would
keep the admins tratlOn in close tOuch

population. and go far toward secur-
pend production and fix the price of

% protect himself when he sells, is
plundered when he purchases. Can
any farmer hesitate to throw the in
ffuence of his ballot upon the side of
those who desire to protect the public
It large from the mOnOpOlies?
The fact that the trusts support the
republican party ought to be sufficient
proof that they expect protection from
it. The republican party cannot be
relied upon TO eXtinguish the trusts
so long as it draws its campaign con-
tribution from their OVERLOOKING
vaults.
