ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM. Bntered as second class matter at the post office in Rensselaer. Ind. The democratic party, so-called, is a total wreck. Education is the John the Baptist of political salvation. The people’s party is growing more rapidly than ever before. The workingman could be master of the situation if he would. To be a good citizen is better than to own a whole political party. There are not many Democrats boasting of the vote they cast in 1892. Of what use is the man or woman who don’t earn their own living? Democratic success comes pretty high, but it don’t take much to do us. A good man can accomplish nothing as long as he remains in a corrupt party. The ablest defenders of the democratic record are the men who want the offices the most. It is now a question whether Cuba ■will be recognized first by Spain or the United States. It is rumored that Anna Gould’s husband, for whom she paid 12,000,000, is not much a (c) count. What are you complaining about? The great daily papers all report that “prosperity is restored.” Coxey appears to be drawing bigger crowds in Ohio than both of the old party candidates together. Only one-fifth of the families in St. Louis attend the church, but nearly all of them vote the old party tickets. Victory for party is not the end. The solution of one problem only prepares the way for solving another. Now is the time for Populists to work •—before the party whooper and campaign band begin to stampede the people. Great Britain’s attitude toward an international conference is: “We own the earth, and there is nothing to arbitrate.” The free silver party may prove to be a “flank movement” on the two old parties, and in that way help the people’s party. Every little helps. Convert somebody in your township. If everybody does this the national movement will take care of itself. There never was a time when the people’s party did not make the money question the paramount issue. This is no one man’s policy. As it appears now the ratification of the Democratic victory in 1892, was the ratification of the panic, low prices, and a failure all round. The leading Democrats of Kentucky are Republicans—and the followers are men without a party, and without the courage of their convictions. The most prominent candidate now being boomed by the republican papers for president is Mr. “Dark Horse." Others so far mentioned are too light. There will be many contests for seats in the fifty-fourth congress—but the most interesting will be that of Tom Watson and J. C. Black, of Georgia. « There are over eight hundred million dollars locked up in the United States treasury, which Secretary Carlisle figures as a part of the money in circulation. Ex-President Harrison is the first prominent candidate for the presidency to recognize the “new woman.” He is writing a series of articles on politics for the Ladies’ Home Journal. It only requires a change of one little space to make “the masses” read “them asses,” and it only requires a little more such voting as we have been having to make the change appropriate and fitting. Cleveland and Carlisle can give a foreign syndicate 110,000,000 dollars in a financial deal, but Coxey can’t walk on Uncle Sam’s grass. This is equal rights for a few and special privileges for a fewer. Nearly every daily newspaper in the country editorially denounces pugilism—yet they continue to publish in their news columns such details as are calculated to gratify the morbid craving, of the public for such barbarism. If they would ignore such bullies as Corbett and Fftssimmons the notoriety <rf these thugs would soon die out.
