particulars before 81 can pass the House.

advise people to vote for Goebel, but
never came to Mississippi to advise
democrats to divide the electoral tick
ct with the populists. Furthermore, he
never accepted the nomination of the
peoples party.
Mr.. Bryan holds out that the demo-
cratic party is the party that advo-
Gates human liberty. Oh, Lord! If
he will but criticise the primary elec-
ton laws of Mississippi from an inn
partial standpoint and render an hon.
est decision, / think he would go a
little slow on the party of liberty and
justice. II you want copy of the
primary election laws of Mississippi,
will furnish them free. Any man
who has ever affiliated with any other
party and shall vote IN democratic
primaries is liable to indictment with
penal punishment.
The constitution and laws of Mis-
sissippi are SO framed and construed
as to disfranchise thousands of worthy
white men, even old confederate SOL
diers who fought four years, are dis
franchised, all for the purpose of putt
ting the control of elections and the
holding of Office into the hands of a
few politicians and henchmen.
Let us keep the door of populism
open for liberty y-loving men in 1904,
when Bryanism shall have been
showed under by Clevelandism. Money
will surely shelve Bryan and his fol-
lowing. The Rothschilds have got
us where they have had all Europe
for century; nothing short of po-
litical revolution can save the people
Of this and other countries-and it
may take bullets to settle it.

TEXAS PoPUlIsTs
Mr.. jackson Says They are More Numer.
Gus Than Ever Before

Editor Independent: There are as
many populists here as ever there
were, and in fact more. Locally they
nearly all go into democratic primar'
les to vote for local offices. And they
will wait to see just what democrats
do nationally. If the reorganizers
capture the national convention and
put out plutocrat, such as German,
or a platform that can be construed to
mean any old thing, then in that event
the populists will be heard from, and
can be organized with plenty of lead
ers with but little trouble. But until
some such thing occurs, / think 1T
would be folly to try to build up the
party organization in this state, be-
cause it is believed that the Bryan
element will favor a great part of the
ropulist ideas. see that our United
States senator, Bailey, has announced
in favor of Mr.. German, but it is we'll
known that this Joseph will do al
most anything that there is cash in.
People are reading more and think
ing more than ever before in this
country and they will be heard from
some OF these days.
The 100 copies (Henry George Edi-
tion) | got have been distributed in
FIVE different counties, and / know
some day will bear good fruit. Folks
of all kinds are anxious to read The
Independent; while the Appeal to
Reason is not wanted. Just as soon
as the farmers understand what col
lective ownership means, they want
no more of it.
But populism is growing as it never
did before-the money, transportation
and referendum ideas. You cant
meet man in the road that isn't In
favor of public ownership of rail-
reads. So I believe, after all, bet
ter day is coming for the old pop to
see. G. J. JACKSON.
