wife and myself are both old, she

some get-up about me yet. When |

some clubs, and will from this good
day do all I can. | saw two men to-
day, both agreed to help me work up
some clubs. This plan you have
stated is the right one, and will work
better than any other l have seen
suggested. 1t begins at the bottom
and works up. It gives the people
the ruling genuine Democ-
racy. My idea is to visit the Farm
ers Unions and plead with them to
unite with the Peoples party as
political party, be they Denis, Reps,
or fool Socialists, or any other politi-
cal party; then, as the Farmers I'm
ion, they are not in party politics,
they can enjoy all the advantages of
the farmers interest and, at the same
time, build up the Peoples party, and
through it get their rights as they
can in no other political party in
existence, and the Populist party
is the only true Democratic par
ty in the country today on the
lines of Jefferson, Jackson, Ben
ton, ct al. Your advice to the peo-
pie about destroying the greenbacks
and destroying the coming of silver,
etc., is simply the beginning move to
the creation of another panic to in
crease the value of their already ill
gotten wealth.
Excuse this long letter, and may
the true and living God bless, pre-
serve and prosper the grand efforts
you are making for downtrodden
creators of the wealth of the coun-
try, and give you long life and the
fruits of your labors in behalf of the
