is responsible for nearly if not all

New York Correspondence.

New York, Aug. 19.-All New York
is in a state of excitement this morn
ing over the great pcrulist meeting
held in Cooper Union last night. Wall
street had supposed that such an at
fair as that was one Of those things
that could never happen. The great
hall was packed, and long before the
hour of opening the doors arrived,
people crowded around the entrances.
When the doors were finally opeEed
the masses of the people crowded IN
and within five minutes every seat
was taken A string of policemen
stood around the walls and prevented
the aisles and corridors from filing
UP as that Is against the law in this
city. There was an overflow meeting
which was addressed by local speak
ers.
IL was a most brilliant and intelli-
gent audience ana was in full sym
pathy with the speakers from the be-
ginning To the end When Mr.. Wat
son and sIr. Tibbles appeared upon
the platform, the audience rose 10 It's

in the past Yet in free America It
has been frequently done.
s"The real anarchists are those who
uphold tyranny and counsel men to
submit to it.. 1t is entirely possible to
have respect for law and aidesire for
an unbiased judiciary at one and the
same time :
"The beef strike at Chicago and
the reign of terror in Colorado are
not dealt with in, the st. Louis plat
form as seriously as they deserve.
When it is realized that these men In
the stockyards had been earning about
81 per week and had been notified OF
reduction in that meager wage, con-
sumers of beef at high prices will have
hard work to bring themselves to SYM
pathize with the beef kings In Colo

ers, the crimes against them far ex-
ceeded their own. Military satrapS
imprisoned men in spite of orders Of
court to release them, and injunctiOns'
failed to work when launched against
bayonets.
1.-THE money question has been Is
nOred by the democratic managers,
thereby implying that it iasno longer
an issue. in spite of the fact that the
last republican congress seriously con-
templated a further surrender of tho
governmental function to issue money
and to control its volume by allowing
banks to issue notes based on their
assets, the destruction Of the legal
tender qualities of the silver dollar
and the establishment of branch
banks of issue, thus contracting the
supply of real money while increasing
the governments obligations, the in
evitable effect OF which must be the
issuing Of bonds by the government
and to still further enrich the credi-
tor class at the expense Of those who
produce the nations wealth.
THE control of the money volume is
dangerous power to be placed in pri-
vate hands. Against this kind OF
sound money real democrats will all
ways oppose themselves. The money
question is the most important of all
economic problems. and it's rightful
solution will never come from those
who deal in money as a commodity.
I'm view of these facts and of the
infdelity of the democratic party to
true democracy. many thousands of
true followers of Jefferson will support
the peoples party ticket this fall. The
peoples party has promulgated plat
form which deals with all the press
ing problems Of the hour in Jeffer-
sonian manner. and it appeals to all
true democrats. II the efforts now go
ing on are successful the party will
have an electoral ticket on the Mary
land ballot this year 1t is to be hoped
such will be the case. and that those
who desire to vote for Jeffersonian
democracy may have an opportunity Of
so doing. JEFFERS0NIAN.'

The promoters Of the meeting were
whelming success of the meeting was
chiefly due to the enthusiasm, hard
work and good judgment Of Judge
Seabury and Mr.. Pallisser of New
York city and Messrs. Forest and
Mahony of Albany
Mr.. Watson made a great speech
and was often overwhelmed for some
minutes with prolonged cheers. Mr..
Tibbles was the last and the fourth
II p. M. He did not attempt set
address and spoke for only a short
time, but it was received also with
round after round OF applause.
After the speeches there was re-
ception at the Union Square hotel.
For an hour or more Mr.. Watson and
Mr.. Tibbles stood at the back end Of
the parlor and shook hands with the
throng as they passed rapidly by.
The New York city dailies treated
the meeting with great respect and
gave fairly full reports The Hearst
papers printed Mr. Watsons speech in
full and most OF them printed cuts OF
both of the populist candidates.

What Honest Lobbying Can Do

est lobbying they forced the legislature
to pass direct legislature amendment.
1t was a hard fight and less deter
mined and tactful men would have
been beaten but Moses and Sarman
hung on; even when an adverse vote
was given and it looked as if the
amendment was finally killed. they
got it reconSidered OF course the poll
clans did all they could to emasculate
the amendment and have hugely sue
ceeded Instead of living up to their
pledge of making the percentage five
for the referendum and eight for the
initiative petition, they made them ten
for the referendum, fifteen for the in
itiative and twenty per cent for con-
stitutional amendment initiative petit
TONS Not content with this, they
made it that these percentages must
be gotten in every congressional dis
trict in the state and there are six
teen.
\ But it was the best the direct leg
iSlatiOn men could get and they took
it. Seven of the honorable members
who voted against it are either in state
prison or under indictment or in for
eign countries for their health. Now
it goes to the people for vote and
quiet but determined DR.. Hill has per-
suaded the democrats to put the fol-
lowing in their state platform:
I'VE congratulate the people OF the
state on the fulfillment of the partys
pledge made in its platform two years
ago, to submit for the voters approx
al a constitutional amendment which,
if adopted at the November election,
will always secure to the people veto
power over bad legislation, as well as
means of Initiating new measures
when desired. thus rendering ineffec-
| tive the results of corrupt methods in
mentS to the same
And then he visited the republican
convention, having previously pulled
some wires and here is the result in
the following plank from the republi-
can state platform:
I'VE condemn the insincerity of the
democratic party in proposing plan
of initiative and referendum so cum
brous as to make its operation imprac-
ticable land we are in favor of just
ard hcnest measure that shall give to
the people of this state the largest
conuol OF and participation in legis-
latlcn and government.
He has also gotten letters from the
state chairman urging their voters TO
vote for it. Thus much has persistent
honest lobbying, but back of it is
the growing sentiment of the people
which this lobbying focused on the
Legislature.
A large majority is wanted for this
amendment. If you can aid in in
creasils its vote. you will aid the di-
rect legislation movement. If you are
in another state. can not you follow
this example.

Editor Independent:
To many people the word lobbying
is as red rag to a bull. To few
people in Missouri it seemed the only
way to get any real legislation. So a
few of the faithful organized direct
legislation league some three or four
years ago and got direct legislation
amendment introduced into the leg
islature and they were able to bring
enough influence ito bear to get it to a
vote. OF course it was defeated
Then they paid small salary to one
of their number, Mr.. S. T.. Moses, and
mis- expenses. Mr. Moses Is a lawyer,
tactful, able. thoroughly devoted man.
He travelled back and forth over the
state saying they would do all they
could to kill off every man who was
renominated who had voted against
direct legislation, no matter what his
party and that they would throw all
their strength to those candidates who
would pledge themselves to direct leg
iSlation. His position was inyulner-
able He wanted no Office, job or con-
tract for himself and they could not
hurt him that way He did not openly
espouse any party though | personally
know he has strong political conyic-
lions. Some of the men he opposed
called him some rather hard names
but he smiled back and said: Come
out for direct legislation and we wont
hurt you" He did not oppose or
advocate candidates on other grounds
than direct legislation and he mainly
tried to prevent the nomination of
candidates opposed to direct legisla-
ton
He Travelled UP and down and back
and across old Missouri for year
with this singleness of purpose and
back of him was shreWd patient,
semi-invalid, DR.. VIM. P. Hill of St.
Louis and others, financing. writing
letters, pulling wiresl Toward the end,
the trade unions, under Mr.. Sarman' S
lead commenced questioning candi-
dates on direct legislation.
When the legislature was elected,
only one man who had voted against
the direct legislation amendment in
the previous legislature. was reelected
and a majority of the legislature were
pledged to vote for direct legislation
amendment that should have a 5 per
cent condition for referendum petit
ton and an per cent for the initia-
tive.
But the 1903 Missouri legislature was
the elimination of the corruption in
Missouri and rottenness in legislation.
or course the yenal politicians did not
want direct legislation and they only
pledged themselves to it because they
did not well see how they could help
it. OF course they did not intend to
keep these pledges, and their mas
tiers, the bribing corporations, did not
mean to have it either.
But Moses and Sarman, aided by
some others, camped on their trail
for three or four months and by hon.
