win Not ROciprocdte.

In two successive presidential cam
paigns the populists have followed the
Bryan banner, putting aside their own
leaders on the ground OF principle,
protesting to believe that they would
secure through the election OF Mr..
Bryan almost as many OF the peculiar
reforms upon their program as they
would by the election OF one OF their
own number They insisted that Bry-
an was as good a populist as any one
of them and that they would as soon
see him in the White house as any
self-styled populist.
But Mr.. Bryan is not manifesting
anything like the same sort OF recipro-
cal devotion that the populists paid
to him. This year seems to have
brought him the opportunity to pay
back past favors by enrolling himself
among the supporters of Watson and
Tibbles. II Watson was good enough
to run for vice president on the same
ticket with him in 1896, and to vote
and work for him in 1896 and 1900,
he ought to be good enough to re-
ceive the support of Mr.. Bryan in
1904. If, as he has been constantly
telling us in unfolding fusion in this
state, it is principles rather than men
and policies rather than craftsmanship
that should claim the good citizens
allegiance. then the ticket promulgated
by the populists at Springfield should
offer Mr.. Bryan more in common with
his ideas of national government than
the ticket nominated at ST. Louis
Omaha Bee.

complaint-.sit is more blessed to give
than to receive"
Why should populists demand public
utilities? Well, it isn't altruism that
inspires the demand, but desire to be
rid of the robbery which is inevitable
whenever private persons are per-
mitted to exercise sovereign powers.
Every populist wants scientific money
and public railroads primarily because
he will be the gamer; he will be en-
abled to retain unto himself cOnSid-
cradle wealth which is now Wrenched
from him because these things are con-
trolled by private persons for private
gain.
Populism is conservative, however,
and contains none of the aggressive
features, for example, well typified in
the demand for protective tariff. "
The self-interest of populism is de-
fensive, and not offensive, in its char
acter. But it is self-interest, just the
same; and whenever men allow them
selves to be carried away in wave of
aEruism, which they fondly believe is
synonymous with populism, they are
sooner or later sure to reach the frame

Editor Independent: like the way
you define your position on fusion
this year. Our party lost thousands Of
votes in this state through our ue-up
with Bryan democracy. and TO now

put the party out of action.

harmony reminds me OF the man that

perialism. We repudiate the st. Louis
platform and the candidate nominated
upon that platform"
THE money power now has absolute
control of both democratic and repub-
lican parties The voters are now left
to choice of men, but not of princi-
pies. So long as the national democ-
racy adhered to democratic principles,
there was no need of third party:
now it has become an absolute neces-
sity"
Can you give space for one more
paragraph?
Bryan said he had fought good
tight and his course might be finished,
but no one would say he had not kept
the faith. With an admiration second
to on one for the great man who has
at last surrendered to the money DOW
er, for the sake of harmony and slav-
cry, we challenge the keeping of that
faith in which 100000 intelligent
voters found comfort and assured sue
cess, if God rules and the republic of
the United States is to endure
The populists of Kansas will never
again fight under any banner but their
own, nor will they ever again be the
third party in the race. 1t is exhil-
Grating to enter once more upon cam
paign i'll which we have no apologies
to make for either our party, its prin-
ciples, or it's candidates.

A New York Bolt,

Editor Independent: The st. Louis
platform is glazing inconsistent
fraud, great disappointment, and
humiliating surrender to the pluto
Gratis who wrecked the party in 1896.
There is not line OF progressive DEM
ocracy in it and its own creators adj
NIT that it was made to get in on.
If either Roosevelt or Parker Is
elected the trusts, banks, and rail-
roads will get anything they want in
the way of special privileges.
Although both old parties claim the
money question is settled, because the
gold standard is established, before
the end of another administration the
banks will attempt to force an asset
currency bill of some kind through
congress.
| have voted the straight democratic
ticket for twenty years. Since lS30,
like thousands of other democrats, |
have looked upon Mr.. Bryan as the
savior and redeemer of the party that
once stood for the rights OF the COM
mon people, but pure democracy con-
sists of something more than partisan
insanity, victory at the polls, or a
scramble for Office (party leaders to
the contrary Notwithstanding and
shall not vote for Judge Parker.
The Springfield platform is sound

of old Bunker Hill and Yorktown. 1t

1t stands for a higher and better civ

An UItimatum.

Editor Independent: l am IS years
old; voted the republican ticket IS
years; left that party in 1896, after the
st. Louis convention, when they
showed beyond doubt that they be-
longed to the money power, by adopt
ing the gold standard, which could be
OF no possible benefit to any one but
the money power.
then thought our first and best
chance lay in combined effort on Mr..
Bryan. So | supported him with
tongue and vote. And now, as his
party has committed suicide at St.
Louis, am again compelled to hunt a
new home And as | am still OF the
opinion that pure democracy is the
best form of government that can be
established and maintained among
men, | must join the populist party
as the only hope of a return to politi-
cal liberty.
now, therefore, pledge the remain
der of my life, my fortune, and my
sacred honor, to the establishment of
the principles set forth in the plat
form adopted at Springfield, Ill. am
now ready to go to work at any time,
anywhere, that I am needed. l now
offer my services to the national COM
mittee to work anywhere they want
me. rendering congratulations and

The Japanese seem to be able to
manufacture anything, from a cambria
needle to modern battleship with all
its intricate machinery. The Japanese
run great banks, but no failure was
ever reported and no charge Of defal-
cation ever made.
The republican papers are lending
their earnest aid to bring about fu-
sion of Parker democrats and Watson
populists. And well they may, for it
would be the greatest snap they
could ask. On every hand the fusion
candidates would be harrassed and
embarrassed by the most annoying
questions. "Are you for Parker and
sound money, or Watson and green
backs?' would be asked ten thousand
times. And ali the poor devil OF q
candidate could say would be, Il m
for the Office, because | need The
money!"
The communication from |. w.
Zornes, Mountain Grove, Mo-, on an
other page, undoubtedly expresses the
determination of thousands who sup
ported Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900.
No other man in the history of Ameri-
ca ever had such following as Mr..
Bryan. His great power lay in the
universal belief in his honesty, SINGER
ity, and integrity-but his followers
were for the most part men with
minds of their own, and with all his
powers he cannot lead them into the
Parker camp. They still believe in
Mr. Bryan's honesty-but believe he
has allowed love of party to Oversha-
dow love of the principles he con-
tends for.

The War Department has put into effect
an act passed at the last session of Con-
gress providing for the issue Of new medals
of honor to those who now hold the old
medals which are to be destroyed. This
was done by the issue of a circular calling
the attention of the public to the act. and
requesting the holders of medals of honor
issued under the acts of 1862 and 1863 to
forward the medals and bow knots by reg
istered mail to the military secretary. who
will replace them by medals and rosettes OF
new design. Hereafter all new medals will
be issued from the military secretary's Of
flee on due proof of the identity OF the per-
sons in whose behalf the medals are APP
