teachings will be remembered. The re-
suit will be that In 1904 we will not
only get all the votes we got for Weav-
er, but we will get q large part Of the
Democratic vote also. as I hava no
doubt that by that time the Democratic
party will be in the hands OF the C1eve-

ing to foster Clevelandism on IT. can.
not undertake to say what vote we Will
then Doll. but 1t will be q large one
and the Largest we have ever had
The Populists have felt a great deal
OF disgust with the Democrats, and
then the Populists and the Democrats
have been holding what might be term
ed discrimination society While the
Democratic party is drifting toward
Clevelandism we have very well defined
ideas of what the issues before this
country should be, and we propose to
put them forward.
The Democratic party has made
bulnder after blunder. When we went
into the campaign of 1896 endeavOred
to talk of free silver at Is to 1, but to
talk of the cumulative theory in regard
to money, with disregard for the
metal We are today having more gold
than we could have secured of silver
and gold In 1896, aud the Republicans
simply laugh down the free silver issue.
But this condition has very thoroughly
verified what was then claimed on the
Qudntttative theory OF money. The
medium of exchange is matter of in
difference. What we contend for is that
there shall be a certain adequate guam
tity of money to meet the wants of
commerce at all times. Had the Demo-
Gratis laid stress upon the cumulative
theory we would today be able to go be-
fore the country and convince every
voter that we are right. But bringing
forward silver as we did at 16 to 1, we
are unable to place ourselves in a cor
rect light before many people whose
knowledge of the money question is
superficial at the best.
We are coming into condition also
that viii show the importance of public
owenrship of the natural monopolies.
Yet some leading Democrats, when we
talk of government ownership of the
telegraph, quote Jefferson in saying the
least government is the best govern
ment They should quote everything
that Jefferson said in his declaration
that men should have equal opportuni-
ties. The trainers of the Constitution
took great care to see that the rivers
and the highways were kept open for
free competition. Yet when the railroad
supersedes the highway and the water
way it is privately owned. They were
careful that the postal business should
be in the hands of the government, but
when the telegraph to large extent
succeeds the postal system 1t is private
the great issues before the country.
There is bound to be a third party,
and il we do not put up a ticket some
one else will do it, The Populists VIII
poll in 1902 more votes than ever before
and it will go ahead"

$500 feet in each well before going
to another location. They would find
the gas in one we'll and show that
they had good flow and il the city
wanted any more wells drilled they
would be willing to take the contract
for the work. All they would do was
to demonstrate to the people that
there was gas and oil under Wichita
and that 1t could be found in paying
quantities. This company puts down
the we'll and allows ten days test
before it has to be accepted. Pro-
lessor Robinson's test, considered the
most rigid known, is to be used and
the gas must flow continuously for
ten days and half million cubic feet
each day before the city is required
to pay for the work.
Too bad Abilene did not get
acquainted with this company year
ago.
