1t seems to be the rule when one
opposes any particular thing to give
it wrong name. Plutocratic apollo
gists use Unfortunately the terms
anarchy, populism, socialism, democ .
racy, etc. A populist is dubbed So
cialist; a socialist is called an an
archist; a Bryan democrat is termed
populist, and so on.
Richard l.. Metcalfe's open letter to
Norman e. Mack has stirred up hor-
nets nest all along the line and the
comments are numerous and various.
The Chicago Chronicle seems to be
one paper that makes no mistake in
it's view of the democratic situation
except that it gets it's names badly
mixed. The democratic party which
nominated Bryan in 1896 and 1900 is
by no means populist party; and the
so-called democratic party which
nominated Palmer and Buckner in
1896 is nothing but plutocratic party
even more plutocratic than the re-
publican party itself. But, aside from
being tangled up in it's names, the
Chronicle is correct. There are two
parties. Bryan is the leader of one:

Chronicle says:
TWO PARTIES, NOT ONE.
The Omaha newspaper editor who
is said to have been put forward by
MIR. Bryan for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning the grounds upon which the
Cleveland and Bryan wings of the
democratic party can cooperate is not
a man well fitted to act the part Of
peacemaker.
Like many other people who speak
with inspiration from Lincoln, Neb.,
he is mistaken in the assumption that
there are two wings OF the democratic
party. There is democratic party
and there is popuist party. They
cannot be reconciled to each other
They never have been and they neve.
will be.
The Omaha mouthpiece of Mr. Bry~
an is populist to whom democratic
doctrine is necessarily offensive. He
cannot even discuss that doctrine in
coherent and rational words. He Is
so thoroughly welded to the debased
money, reputation, socialism and
populism that he uses the jargon of
the advocates of these anti-democratia
factions when he addresses democrats
in the pretended interest of harmony.
Only one duty presents itself to real
democrats, and that is to extricate
their party from the slough of popui-
ism. This cannot be done by compro-
mise or by concessions. The issue
between democrats and popuiists at
the next national convention of the
democratic party should be clear and
emphatic.
If the organization is to be pnpul-
istic and socialistic we'll and good
Democrats will govern themselves ac-
cordingly. If it is to be democratic
well and good. Populists and social
lists may govern themselves accord
ingly.

President Roosevelt is at work
among voters who stand nearest to

and another thing privately to Wall
street. We are still Lincoln repub.
lican, but not Mark Hanna or Pier

mas Dinner for the Needy.

Following its custom established sew
eral years ago. the local Salvation
Army Will make an effort to provide as
many of the poor as Is possible with
good things for a Christmas dinner.
just how many are fed depends upon
the liberality OF the public. which will
be asked to donate the yiands for the
dinner. AS was done last Christmas
the dinners will be put up in baskets.
and either will be delivered by mem
bers OF the corps or will be called for
at the barracks on South First avenue.
Those who can not call at the hall will
have basket taken to their home.
This effort on the part Of the Salvation
Army is most commendable one. for
by it little cheer is brought to homes
which otherwise might not know OF the
universal day of happiness and good
will. The work of collecting eatables
and money for this dinner has al

stood that the wages obtained by or
gained labor as the result of its on
slaught upon the law and order are
paid not by ca pital but by organized
labor But such is the case and so far as
capital is concerned the only effect on
the unions is to disturb business con-
ditions and to restrict industry. Capt.
tai refuses to allow labor to make IN
roads upon it. If the wage advances
cannot be charged up to the consumer
in the form of higher prices for the
commodities produced then the men
with the capital Will go out of business.
If the consumer can be made to pay
however. he Will continue to employ
men so long as he obtains a fair profit
and no longer. Now the raising of
prices compels some people to go with
out the commodities produced who
were formally able to purchase the
same. and the ability Of those who do
purchase to buy other commodities is
diminished. Thus 1t is readily seen that
| it Is the consumer, In other words the
unorganized laborer and the farmer
| who is robbed by his fellow toilers In
| the unions. Even the members or
| the unions themselves must ultimately
| suffer by reason of the harm they work
| to industrial development. Increase IN
| the cost of production must necessarily
mean decrease in output and the

| eral shrinkage of output occasioned by
organized labor in the last year Is

II Is to the interest of the farmer
also that the domestic prices for man
