clearly defined in the above definition
and that we are today in favor of
those propositions, with others, as
thoroughly as in the beginning.
The trusts, a cancerous growth, un-
healthy, and menace to society, are
in my judgment largely indebted for
their phenomenal growth to the fav-
oritism and aid of the railroads in the
way of discriminating rates, against
which the smaller competitor cannot
succeed. With government ownership
OF railways unhealthy participation in
public affairs on the part of the cor
porations would disappear, and anx-
lety on the part of the public would be
allayed. The public mind would be
at rest, and all would have the same
rights and privileges in the matter Of
shipments and communication.
l have never felt the necessity of
eliminating any of the fundamental
principles heretofore set forth in our
various national and state platforms
and see no reason for it now. be-
lieve that there is place in national
affairs for the populist party and the
principles upon which it was organ
lied; and it should be maintained.
Organism is all right, and we can
offer no apology for having been
found in harmonious relationship with
1t in the past. But when the shadow
OF Clevelandism, and the galvanized
cohorts who stabbed their party and
assisted the enemy in former cam
paigns, begins to loom up SO ominous-
ly it is time for prudent ones to begin
making inquiries about cyclone insur-
ance. We, as populists, have always
placed principle above party, but
am one OF those who believe that while
the menace of extreme conservatism is
upon us, we should keep our party
intact as a city and place OF refuge.

unsparingly to the "old corpse of the

print Of which is given in The Inde-
pendent of June 16, it would seem to

Editor Pyne styles it-ready to give
one-at least, vigorous, life-like kick,
to refute this calumny from the old
Nutmeg state. And let this be done
with will" at Springfield, July 4.
There can be no more fitting time or
place.
The "galvanizing into life of the
corpse which Editor Pyne so pathet-
ically illustrates by his story of the
horse and the rotten bridge that once
let him down, and, though well re-
paired afterwards, he would never
take to it again, is rather contrari-
wise and inapt illustration as it fits
nothing in the case. But let that story
pass. We prefer to hope that ION to

which at the worst will not rob us Of
our faith in mankind"
Parties in their struggle for the
mastery-if they keep their end up
have little time to stop and talk about
losing faith in mankind" Let ey-
cry populist stand up bravely. and be
counted. The impetus and encourage
ment OF such course is immense,-

Conner Gable Lightning Rods.

| One or the busiest places III Lincoln
now is Shinn's Copper Cable Lightning
| Rod Factory, where they are rushed
to their full capacity, turning out o.
| 900 feet of lightning rod per day. No
| doubt some people think there are not
many lightning rods put up, but there
is an average of about is buildings
being rodded with Shinns Copper Ca
Bile Lightning Rod every day. This is
a business that has been established
and developed on merit. Putting
lightning rods on building is a
scientific proposition, and should be
done by men who have been properly
instructed
Mr.. Shinn realizes the necessity of
every building being rodded properly
and has several men travelling over the
state, continually schooling the deal
ers who handle this business in their
locality how to rod different kinds of
buildings. His system of rodding is
unanimously indorsed by all the .nsur-
ance companies as well as the Ma
tional Insurance association.
No doubt some unprincipled men
will try to convince the people that
cheap iron rod is just as good as this
copper cable, but every person knows
that iron will rust in the ground, and
that rust is non-conductor. That
copper cable Is indestructible, and will
last as long as the building stands.
All authorities teach that there should
be at least two ground rods on every
building rodded The man who would
offer TO put only one ground rod is
either ignorant or irresponsible, and
perhaps both.
We notice that the state u.sscrsity
here Is rodded with SHINE Copper
Gable Lightning Rods, which Is ample
proof of It's value. The professors of
this institution should be competent

kind OF lightning rod To use.

hold up the flag OF equity and justice,

Editor Independent: The advisable
ity or necessity for keeping up the
party OF the people is imperative. If
the principles laid down by that party
are not enacted into law, sooner or
later our republic, which is now tot
tering, will fall without doubt.
Whether it is possible to keep up the
organization depends upon the people
themselves. Will they heed our warn
ing now? They have not, in sufficient
number, in the past, in spite of our
strenuous exertions for them.

Editor Independent: The outlook
for populism, SO far as success in the
coming election is concerned, is not
encouraging, as l view the situation.
The people are not yet ready to en-
brace the truth, politically. Party pre-
JUDGE is yet too strong with maS
jority of men to permit them to use
the reasoning faculties with which the
good Lord endowed them The cry
of the full dinner pail" expansion"
protection" and an honest dollar"
will have more weight with them than
all the facts and logic that can be
crowded into a six months campaign.
There are thousands of men who are
thinking and studying upon the in
dnstrial problems. but there are mil
lions who are saying: LET well
enough alone" and will be satisfied so
long as their stomachs are full and
while there seems to be no immediate
danger of starvation. They worship
the flag without stopping to think
what the flag should stand for and en-
dure severe attacks of hysteria under
the unfortunate delusion that their af-
Fiction is patriotic.
These are the conditions that con-
front us and we might as well look
the facts squarely in the face and not
deceive ourselves. The time is not
ripe for political revolution, though
there was never a time when it was
needed more. However, it will not be
ever thus. The time will come, per-
haps sooner than we think, when the
people will awaken to a realization of
the true situation, and when they do
the mills OF the Gods will do some fine
grinding. "The refuge of lies shall
be swept away and the hiding place of
falsehood shall be uncovered JUS
tice travels with a leaden heel but
strikes with an iron hand. The hearts
OF the masses are right and their heads
will get right If we give them time.
1t is unfortunate that they move so
slowly, but let us not become discour-
aged. Every true populist will con-
tinue in the good work, trusting in
the Righteousness of his cause to
eventually bring good results. We
should stand by our principles and
maintain our organization without
pursuing policy that is narrow and
selfish.
II the democratic party will stand
by its last two national platforms and
nominate candidates who are known
IL be in full sympathy with those
principles, we should give them all the
encouragement We can. Let it not be
said of us that we refused to encour-
age or accept needed reforms because
we could not get them through our
party, or because we were unable to
secure all the reforms we wanted. We
have repeatedly and justly charged
members of the two old parties with
confusing craftsmanship with patriot
ism. Let us not be guilty of the same
CHense
