The Political Phnrisee

Editor independent: I enclose here
with my vote as to my preference for
future political action, which is that
| am opposed to further cooperation
with democrats. The reform demo-
cratic party was good enough for eight
years for the populists to cooperate
and fuse with. but in the campaign
just closed the populists we're not good
enough for tht high priests of the re-
form element of the democratic party
to fuse with SO I think the populist
party should work independently.
would be more in favor of cooperating
with the Debs and Swallow parties,
both of which stand for something
really in the interest of the masses,
but | am not in favor of cooperating
with the advocates and supporters Of
the Wall street democratic party, and
there is no other democratic party at
present, in name, at least. The popu-
list party is democratic in principle
and if there are any democrats who
do not feel at home in Hill. Belmont
& Co.'S democratic party they can find
plenty of room in the populist party,
where I have no doubt. they will be
received into full fellowship.
In order to succeed the populist party
must be free from pharisaical domi-
nation. There must be no room in its
ranks for the modern pharisee. This
must be it's slogan or it's sincerity will
be questioned and the masses will not
come to its support.

Linn County Missouri

DR.. ]. T. Polsen of Laclede, Linn
county, Mo-. member Of the national
committee and chairman of his coun-
ty committee, in sending in some funds
to help out the national organization
work, says
I'VE have large populist sentiment
in this county, but fusion destroyed
their common sense, and many of them
voted for Parker to keep in line with
w. J. Bryan. Now since Parker has
been so badly defeated they are slowly
coming to their senses. and | think
there is a good chance to reorganize
the county. We had county ticket
in the field, thanks to myself and two
others of the faithful. We voted rs
for the county ticket, and 35' for Wat
son.
THE conviction is growing that
something must be done, and populism
seems to offer the only chance Bryan
is doing the reform movement more
harm than all other democrats COM
bifed, and many are now getting to be-
ileve him only a decoy. Democrats
are ashamed of their party, and will
not discuss the matter. Some cuss,
and one in our town actually cried
when the result was known. Yours for

Same Old Gam.

1t is affirmed and also denied in the
Washington dispatches that the presi-
dent has ordered an investigation of
the Standard Oil company from the bu-
reau Of corporations. Whether true or
false is OF little consequence. III e
Standard Oil trust has been investi-
gated more times, at the hands of
courts and legislatures and private in
quisitors, than all other trust combi-
nations in the country put together.
Further investigation from Washing
ton would signify policy of delay and
do-nothing as certainly as no investi-
cation. If the administration is going
to curb the trusts, why not proceed to
do so. Facts in ample quantity are at
hand to afford broad basis for action

On the Ma rch Again

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch presents
figures to show that total of 655, 900
working people have been thrown cut
of employment during the past few
months as follows: Railway employees,
100000; textile operatives, $4,000; pack
ing house workers, $4,000; iron and
steel workers, 10000; miners, $4,000
and estimated workers in other trades,
10000. They will probably have time
to prepare to march in full dinner
bucket parades and shout for the poll
tical idols that the capitalists have
picked out for them. And they won't
fail to do it.

Wherever county shows by its vote
lively interest in populism, or any
other ism. for that matter, it is not
difficult to trace the result to some
lew eii believers in the nrin
ciples. Often only one person is real
ly entitled to the credit for the good
showing-because If he is taken away,
the chances are that decided falling
of will be apparent at the next cleo
tion. Up In Racine, Wis, lives Louis
Elholm. show dealer. whose faith in
populism is shown by his works. He
was placed on the electoral ticket this
year for Watson and Tibbles, and, al
though the ticket was not nominated
until the last moment, and was placed
under an independent nomination"
head, Mr.. Elholm made Racine the
banner county of Wisconsin for ropu-
lism this year. Watson and Tibbles
had lat votes there. Going back to
1892, find the counties of Dunn. La
Crosse and Milwaukee each exceeding
Racine in the number of votes cast
for General Weaver-yet Racine this
year polls 1903 votes more han all three
of the counties named. Hurrah for
Louis Elhoim? He is the sort Of man
who will spread populism in the next
four years.

A Plucky Populist

Under date of December 5, L. Darling
of Sedgwick, Colo, writes headquarters
enclosing card giving the official re-
turns from his county as far as he had
then been able to learn. The vote
was: Parker, 1871; Roosevelt, 348. Wat
son, IL. The corresponding vote in
1900 was: Bryan, 1863; Mckinley, 256;
Barker, O. Last year for supreme Judge
the democrat had 81, the republican rs,
Judge Owens, the populist 5. Under
the circumstances Sedgwick Co. gave
Mr.. Watson very handsome vote.
Mr.. Darling apologies for the late
ness of his return, saying, "On Satur-
day before election I was badly hurt

not yet been able to go to county seat. =

Watson at His Home

The following is an extract from
HWatson's speech at his home, Thorn
son, Georgia
This is time for some plain
speaking, time to use our heads for
something besides hat pegs. Our
eyes ought to see and our hearts
ought to feel something besides self
ishnesS.
This is start for four years (cries,
I'VE are with you. Tom,'') and we
must start out right.
Let's see, there are eight preachers
in Thomson. How many voted for
Swallow? CA voice "one') How many
voted for Watson? (Cries of ''one.')
The other six then followed Tom
Taggart the gambling hell man. Are
you sure of that boys? We must not
make a mistake. for this is a power
ful fact (Cries, I'VE are sure of it. y
Where is the preacher Who voted or
ME? want to put him on exhibition
here today. Grew. S. A. Walker was
grasped by the arm by comrade and
taken up on the rostrum, amid loud
applause.) AN old confederate SOL
der said Mr.. Watson, and the one
who voted for Swallow was also a
confederate soldier" (Loul applause.
Let me call your attention to
another fact. During thee ampaign of
Harrison and Cleveland there was not
a single republican banner displayed
on Wall street, and in the recent cam
paign there were three great Parker
banners stretched on Wall street, and
no republican banners were to be
seen. This showed that the pluto
cratic element and beneficiaries Of
special privileges were behind the
candidacy of Parker.
On the very eve Of the election
on Tuesday, the charged that I had
made fusion with the republicans:
that was secret ally of Roose-
velts. On the next morning here came
the ballots. and. by tn ,ir own count,
Roosevelt got more votes in Georgia
than l did. If there had been a fu-
sion what would have been the case?
II Roosevelt got $4,000 votes, as they
say he did. and got $4,000 votes, as
they say did. then half of the Roose-
welt ticket and half of the Watson
ticket would have got 100000 votes
And by the democratic count. every
republican vote went in the republican
column where it belonged, and all
my votes went in my column where
they belonged. (Applause.) In other
words, they lied about it. And did
they apologize? No. Any old lie
against me goes.

Presidents Message

Editor independents: President
Roosevelt recommends that the silver
dollar be made redeemable in gold at
the option of the holder. Why it is
necessary to redeem one 100 cents in
another 100 cents is not explained (nor
ever will be logically if there is any
thing more absurd than that idea /
have never heard of it. Since 1896 or
since the gold standard was estab-
lished Tin some peoples minds) tle
fact has been pointed out to us and
by Mr.. Roosevelt times without num-
Der that every dollar was as good as
every other dollar and worth 100 cents,
of course. Every populist knows that
dollar is 100 cents and that 100 cents
make dollar. no more, no less.
often see the necessity of redeeming
dollars in bread and butter, boots and
shoes, clothing and taxes, but never
saw the need of redeeming 100 pounds
of meat or flour in another 100 pounds
of meat and flour of the same quality.

Apple P,,mace for the Cows.


Three of the state experiment sta
lions, notably that Of Vermont, have
conducted experiments with saving ap-
pie pomace in the silos and feeding it
to cows during the winter. The Yer
mont station has experimental with
this kind of silage now for several
years and always with good success.
The pulp is simply hauled from the
cider mills and shoveled into the silo
either with corn silage or alone. About
three inches of the silage on top spoils,
but this serves as a covering to pro-
tect the rest. This silage has been
fed to COWS in quantities varying from
10 to so pounds per day without any
Injurious effects on either the cows or
the quantity or quality of the milk.
This kind of si1age IS always much rel
ished by cows and eaten verv Rreedily.
