Buying Supplies for the Isthmus.

The isthmian canal commission has

purchases of one or more articles when
the need becomes apparent, but 1t is in
tended hereafter to purchase a six
month or a years supply of STANDARD
articles. 1t is believed that by this
means lower prices can be secured. as the
quantities will be much larger than here

THE BRYANITE PLATFORM.

The so-called Democratic platform starts
ont with a declaration that they are in favor
Of equal rights to all, and special privileges
to none" That is good. Every true man be-
lieves it ought to be carried into effect, and
the sooner the better Unfortunately, the So
called Democratic platforms do not intend
to carry that declaration out They put that
in there to catch the old Alliance men; that
was their intention. When they get to money
they declare in favor of the government issu-
ing all the money and loaning it to the banks
on approved" security; just what the Vree-
land-Aldrich bill provides-the most infam-
Gus money legislation this country has ever
had, and the so-called Democrat. Bryan, APP

the right of citizen Of the United States to

If, therefore, the fathers of the aforesaid

children Of their brain, suggest another
amendment to the constitution wiping out the

Dear .Sir-I am enclosing you letter adj

the statement made over and over again, that
the Peoples Party is dead and that the indie
pendence Party is willing to champion our
principles and lead us to victory.
We had our cause championed by the able
Bryan in 1896 and the victory we won
both ON the side Of principles and party organ
ization, was certainly enough to satisfy the
fusion spirit for some time to come
We could not make greater mistake now
than to listen to the oily tongues of these adj
venturers, IF they love principles, we
were on the ground first and staked it out
and we will stay this time, at least every true

But that is not all. Bryan wants the peo-
pie to be taxed on their deposits to raise a
fund to insure their deposits. All know some
banks will fail, but Bryan, the Peerless One,
is going to protect the depositors by taxing
all of them on their deposits. Then they say
if this cannot be done, they are in favor Of
government savings banks. Now, government
savings banks is a Peoples Party principle,
and everybody knows they can't fail. Don It
need any insurance.
Is it not strange that such a wise donkey
as the so-called Democratic donkey is, will so
contradict itself?
