GROWING TOMATOES IN TIL
SHADE.

AJAA4AAS4-4s
In my country tomatoes are grown
very freely. Thousands Of acres each
year are produced for the canning fac.
tories. For extra early tomatoes,
recommend making a hotbed of each
hill and putting on a cover as soon as
the plant is set, For a medium crop
to rip2n in July or a little later, set
the plant in the ordinary way, and put
on the cover The effect of this is to
break the cold, raw winds. and pro
tect from rain, sleet and light frosts.
while at the same time the injury
from insects is prevented. These COW
ers cost 10 cents each.
Taking q plant out of the hotbed and
setting it in the open causes a serious
check. Tomatoes, as well as L'any
other plants, cannot stand raw winds.
They may exist, but they do not grow
rapidly, and are usually improbable.
The covers should be removed during
the warm days and the plants given
all the sunshine possible, for tomatoes
delight in a warm situation. When the
first frost comes In the fall pull up the
tomatoes by the roots and transfer to
the cellar, hanging them up on the
walls, and the green tomatoes will
ripen nicely. By means Of this treat.

say this because, believing that per-
sOnal sacrifice was indeed necessary,
wrote to the state chairmen Offer
ing my services for simply my ex-
penses, and no one has accepted the
offer. Strange to say, every other re-
form movement has organizers In the
field; but our people won't even stand
the speakers expense. How, then,
can we agitate and organize? How
to get our people to support their
faith by contributions to campaign
funds, is the question of questions.
The st. Louis meeting has great
responsibility and great problem to
solve. Personally, know the pop
ulist principles are farther advanced
in the nation today than ever before.
Populism is in the air; and to crystal
lie and place before the people q
declaration comprehending the REM
edy for the great evils that affiict the
nation, Is our first concern. The next
problem to solve is to reorganize our
whole organization. And last, but not
least, provide for campaign fund.
This we must do; for our speakers,
our newspapers and literature must
get to the people.
Should the st. Louis conference
prove success, and lay our plans
along harmonious lines, and our ma
tional convention indorse and provide
for the successful accomplishment Of
the three above suggestions, then,
Bro. Charles @. De France, the camp
fires Of 1892 will light up the heavens,
and all the powers of darkness cannot
resist our onward march to victory!
Here, then, lies our whole problem
as a political factor in American poll
tics.
Permit me in conclusion to say that
the populist holds the stragetic point,
and that we must either advance or
surrender~it. To surrender Is Grim
inal cowardice. am very hopeful OF
our st. Louis meeting, and am look
ing for an old-fashioned populist re-
vival. Comrades, let us pull together.
and come up smiling, determined to
push the battle on to victory.

Editor Independent: If the demo-
cratic party comes out for public own
ership, as | believe it will, then we
can do nothing but support it and
lose out as usual. If the democrats
do not do that, then we will either
have to organize new party for sin
gle tax, greenbacks, direct legislation
and government ownership, or go over
to the socialists.
AS for myself, | believe the time
has come for single tax party, for
in very few years the people will be
forced into just two parties-one
standing for Individualism and the
other for Socialism. The world must
soon recognize this fact. Single tax
stands for Individualism. Socialism
for itself.
The republican party will go right
on In the same old way. with the bad
element of the democrats to help them
In every emergency to keep the party
In power.
Whether the peoples party will
come again depends much upon what
the democrats do, but at present we
are dead.
The only thing that can be done, Is
TO send out speakers through each
state to lecture, take subscribers for
reform papers. and prepare for Inn
mediate action. for the organization OF
new party. II we had a paper In
each state like The Independent and
one of'more In each county we would
stand some show OF reorganlzlng the
peoples party.
We are now al the mercy of tho
democrats and socialists. As n party
we are dead. provided that democrats
come out for public ownership. our
position Is a contingent one. and bad.
A new party would make a more
rapid growth than the peoples party
did should like to aee the populIsts

could, by its inherent characteristics
and natural forces, produce such mag
niflcent results in the interests OF,
and for the general welfare of the
great majority Of all the peoples in
this world, as could and would be pro-
duced by the operations of wise and
patriotic and humanitarian financial
system, coupled with a groad gauge
system of equitable taxation.
The middle class are slowly begin
ming to perceive that "the golden calf
and its prOtotype-gold cOin-has
cursed the world of humanity from
the wanderings of the children OF Is
rael in the wilderness until the pres
ent date, and also will continue to so
curse the world of humanity until a
lofty intelligence shall provide wiser
and better financial system.
We cannot afford to turn back now.
We must move on with the current
which God Almighty has set in mo-
tion. The mad greed of the money
lords is helping our movement more
than we are helping ourselves.
The crushing powers of financial
catastrophe Is not far distant, which
will by the intelligence OF the people
be laid at the front door of the Brit
ish money power of the world when it
comes, as come it will. Then the
people will awake to full realizing
sense of the just powers of the people
by the lawful methods of the ballot
With it will also come a clear knowl-
edge Of the right remedies to be ap-
piled, with the clear courage to apply
them instantly.
Keep the movement alive, and call
a national nominating convention at
an early date; and pledge each dele
gate and each candidate to the sub
stantial terms of the Omaha platform;
then move on, and on, and on. The
final victory is certain, as God Is God.

INDIANA.

I Editor Independent: Yours Of the
23d inst. received My judgment Of
the future must largely be based upon
what | know of conaitions, past and
present, in Indiana. The effects pro-
duced upon our people by what has
occurred outside the state, and by the
position taken by some of our ma
tional leaders, make the outlook for
next year discouraging.
1t is about as certain as anything
of this kind in the future can be that
Roosevelt will be nominated. Moth
ing can be expected from the republi
can party except continuation of its
abject submission to Wall street.
There is, however, a growing discon-
tent among the rank and file Of the
party. What will be done by the dem
ocratic convention is not SO easy to
predict. | do not believe that the
financial interests are satisfied with
Roosevelt, although he appears to
have been entirely subservient to
their wishes. He is too erratic, too
headstrong, has too many flashes OF
sentiment to make them feel secure.
AT present he Is restrained by his am
bition to be nominated and elected,
but the men who represent these in
terests are too shrewd not to know
that, If elected, the restraints will be
removed For this reason among 9TH
ers, | believe an effort greater than
usual will be made 10 control the next

effort to control their party.
Under such circumstances, it can
hardly be doubted that Wall street
and the bank influences will control
the delegation from this state to the
next national convention with more
certainty than they did to the last. If
| judge other states by this, cannot
avoid the conclusion that this influ-
eice will control the next national
convention and dictate the nominee.
There is no organization Of the pco-
pies party in this state. 1t is worse
than foolish to assert that there is.
There are many who are populists in
principle, but lnere is no organization
to which they care to attach them
selves. The address issued by the con-
ference of September 28 expresses the
views Of large number in this state,
but they have no organization, and, SO
far as I can see, are not likely to have.
All that l can see that can be done by
most of us is to plant ourselves
squarely upon principle and wait for
developments and opportunity.

Editor Independent: All true re-
formers knew that defeat was in store
for them wherever they had hand in
the campaign just ended; not that
their propaganda was wrong, but be-
cause the plutocratic element within
the party openly and silently knitted
the candidates. In some cases the
men nominated were not In accord
with the platforms.
The populists can never accomplish
much nationally by forcing the domi-
nant party to 90 into partnership with
them. An occasional dash In state
or county can be and has been sue
cessful, but in the long run will result
and has resulted in the stronger or
ganization dominating. Thus true re-
form is side-tracked, practically, al
though the platforms may contain
planks urging reform measures.
A galaxy of canu4uates for presi-
dent will appear next year. The dem
ocratic nominee will be man that
supported Bryan in one or both cam
paigns, although opposed to Bryan on
the money question. 1t is possible that
the reorganizers may take the bull by
the horns and crowd out the Bryan
ties and name clean-cut Cleveland
man or Mr.. Cleveland himself out
right. The latter | honestly believe
will occur.
We cannot look to the socialist par
ty. 1t is undemocratic; it is tyranni-
cal. Individual liberty would be
crushed under socialism. The only
shelter we have is populism, under the
name of the peoples party, and to this
clean standard retormers can rally.
The Denver conference of July 20,
1903, leads the way.
1t matters not who the nominee of
the peoples party may be: the true
reformers next year will vote for him.
The Bryanites may revolt; but Bryan
will not lead revolt.
One program next year will be:
Throw down the reorganizers, at the
election, and then Organism will call
on Bryan. This Is an idle dream: the
showing OF the reorganizers will be
so satisfactory that Cleveland, Cor
man & Co. will be retained as man
ayers. In the meantime the peoples
party will have rehalllitated itself.
On with the St. Louis conference.
