to make Parker's administration q
failure Now, with an due Difference
to Mr.. Bryan's patriotism, honesty and
political wisdom, which nobody denies
him, he will, by his own declaration,
play a trick on Parker which, as !. 1t
seems to me. closely resembles the
trick which Parker and his managers
played on the late democratic conven-
ton and the democratic party, accord
ing to Mr. Bryans own account.
The populists can not afford to wait
for Mr.. Bryan's new appearance as a
reformer,. no matter how much some
of them may believe in MIR. Bryan's
program. Mr.. Bryan entirely iorgets
the teaching of history which shows
us that reform has never been accom-
plished by an old party but that it
has always taken new party to bring
on and carry out reform. Mr.. Bryan is
unwilling to leave the old democratic
party, or rather it is the name de-
mocracy which keeps him spell-bound
no matter how little democracy is left
in the old hulk. Mr. Bryan has been
teaching us that we are not fighting
for men but for principles. il he
now could make up his mind that we
are not standing for names but for
principles he might be induced to be
satisfied with democratic principles
without calling the party the demo-
cratic party. He would find all his
dearly beloved principles represented
in the peoples party.
The populist party offers a home
to all the reform democrats. opens
it's arms for their reception and bids
them welcome. 1t gives the same
greeting and invitation to all republic
cans who are tired Of being robbed by
the trusts.

TOM WATSON'S BOOKS

Many readers know that Hon.
Thomas +. Watson, peoples party
candidate for president, is an author
OF the highest rank. At this time his
histories and books are especially in
teresting. His history OF France Is
the story of people, not or their
rulers only. 1t is fascinating reading
and every admirer of MI. Watson
should have copy in his library. TO
read it Is to be convinced Of the gem
uine sympathy the author has for the
welfare OF the plain people,
Mr.. Watson's treatment of history
is from new and entirely modern
point OF view. The well-known poll
ticaI leader says in his preface that
at has been his purpose to lay before
his readers "a clear narrative OF the
gradual development of great peo-
pie to note the varying forms
OF government. to trace the ancient
origins of modern laws and customs.
to marx the encroachments OF abso-
lutism upon popular rights, to de-
scribe the long continued struggle OF
the many to throw of the yoke Of the
few. to emphasize the c0rrupting In
fluence OF the union between church
and state: to illustrate once moro the
blighting effects OF superstition. ig-
norance. blind obedience. unjust laws.

Ole Pulso Of Populism
Topeka, Kan

Among the scores of friendly letters
received by The Independent every
day, there are always to be found
noble expressions of hope for the fu-
ture and courageous words in de-
tense OF the principles of populism.
All of these communications are we'll
worthy OF space, but they are un-
limited in amount while space is linn
tied. However, here are a few ex-
tracts from few of them. selected
indiscriminately:
Editor Independent: enclose or
der for $500 for payment of past dues,
and OF continuance. l am a democrat,
have always been, but | admire your
paper, especially the editorials. They
contain nothing but true democracy.
As the "reorganizers" have control of
the democratic machinery shall give
my vote for Watson and Tibbles.

A quaint and unusual character is
T. III. Tibbles, the nominee Of tie pop
ulist party for vice president Mr..
ribbles is the third citizen Of Lincoln
within the last eight years to be hon
ored with place on the national tick
ct. The other two are William ]. Bry-
an and Rev. G. T. Bentley. The lat
te.' was the candidate in 1896 OF the
free silver prohibitionists.
Mr.. Tsbbles is man Of striking
appearance. His face is cast in the
old Roman mold, and he has nose
ana chin proclaiming the frankness
and fearlessness of the man. A great
stock OF snow white hair falls about
and curl over his forehead and ears,
while iron-grey eyebrows cover his
eyes OF piercing intelligence. fi
He is the editor of weekly popu-
list newspaper of wide circulation and
wlelds most trenchant pen. His vo-
-cabulary is as picturesque as his
appearance. He is vitriolic and inn
placabie He is firmly convinced
that the country is in the grip of
the money power; that the newspa-
pers of the land, save those that
pr Zach populism, are in the pay of
plutocrats, and that they receive their
regular stipends for the les they
retail about what is going on He
Insists that the only remedy is for
the people to overthrow, at the ball
lot box, the predatory wealth of the
country and restore popular rule-To-

An Open Letter

To the Commoner: The populists in
all the states have Tor the last eight
years made common cause with the
Bryan democrats, have looked upon
them as the real democratic party and
have regarded the same as the reform
party which promised to carry out
most of the reforms which the pop
ulist party stands for. But now, since
Mr.. Bryan has declared that he is
going to vote the reorganizer ticket,
the populists will never follow him
into the Parker camp.
The cardinal points which constitute
populist principles are money, land
and transportation. None of these
three points have received any recog-
milton in the st. Louis platform. The
now celebrated telegram of Judge
Parker to the democratic convention,
and the answer by the convention ac-
cepting Parker's terms, which were
dictated by Wall street, renders the
st. Louis platform a gold platform.
The present so-called democratic party
which nominated Parker Is a demo-
cratic party without democratic princi-
pies just as the present so-called re-
publican party with no republican
principles
Both of these parties are plutocratic,
and their names are mere misnomers
The only party which stands for JEFF
fersonian democratic principles and
for Lincoln republican principles Is
the peoples party. Ii Is the only party
which today stands for and is able to
carry out reforms in economic and
political fields There could not have
been made at st. Louis nomination
more beneficial for the growth and de-
velopment OF the peoples party than
that of Parker.
Mr. Bryan so far does not make
any great effort to carry his six mil
lions followers with him. He knows,
most likely. that II In no use. and II is
my opinion that the by far larger part
OF his six millions followers will here
after be found In the ranks OF the peo-
ple's party.
The promise Of Mr. Bryan To again
work for reform mr. soon an the polls
close next November seems % me
very queer action. For the present
Mr.. bryan has jumped into the Parker
band-waEun and goes arm In arm
