Ac honest man votes for principle. The conflict is between manhood and I money. Capital is forcing the irrepressible j conflict. - Does Billy Bryan belong to a gold bug party? The “popular loan” will be taken by unpopular people. Get into line in every state and work for victory this year. j Where is prosperity? She was billed to reach here before this. Our great American statesmen (?) have got things in a nice shape. —* “The war scare has subsided,” says an exchange. Who was scared? “I was invited to Washington for a conference”—J. Pierpont Morgan. Down, with the salaries in proportion to the fall in prices of farm products. Most of the speeches now being made in Congress are for campaign purposes only. The bankers are the only set of men who ever questioned the credit of the government. The bankers don’t want the government to loan money to any of the people, but themselves. Yes, we will meet the traitors at Phillipi in November, just as Governor Waite said we would. Nothing but gold and gold certificates will buy the new bonds, and the bankers have about all of them. No party on earth can steal the populist party. It will absorb the best of all parties before November. Philadelphia is moving to own her own street railways. The logic of events is solving the problem of human rights. - The most important meeting of the year will be that of the National Reform Press Association at Dallas, Feb. 22 Keep your eyes on the man who wants office. He'll do to watch. If he advocates trimming the platform bounce him. As no one will father the tariff bill sent from the house to the senate there is a growing suspicion that it is a bastard measure. Texas polls more Populist votes than any other state in the Union,. j|nd they didn't win them by fusion or platform trimming, either. All the people on earth combined, except one man, have no right to dispossess that one man of any of his natural opportunities. All the Spanish and Cuban generals were killed again this week. The Spanish have the Cubans on the run—the Spanish soldiers in the lead. Senator “'eller, having decided that there is no hope for free silver in either of the old parties, ought now to attach himself to a party that is in favor of free silver The free silver inside-the-party Democrats and Republicans evidently think the best way to get free silver is to vote against it, and with a party that is opposed to it. Senator Allen introduced a bill in the senate making it a misdemeanor for a lobbyist to enter the capitol building. As this would cut off the revenues of some of our Solons of course it will not pass. : Now that the national committee has met, it is time for all Populists to go to work. The making of the platform will take place at the convention, and it will be made by delegates elected by the people. There are some men who would rather vote to uphold a system that is impoverishing themselves than to leave theii party. There is no heroism about this; it is abject servility of the first magnitude. There is a law that punishes the train wrecker, but the railroad wrecker escapes. There is also a law that punishes the man that robs the bank, but the bank can rob the people and it is called business. ' I The Populists will nominate the only free silver man that will be in the presidential race this year. Every free silver man will be perfectly free to vote for him, and if every free silver man does vote for him he will be elected. National bankers collect interest on their debts, and Cleveland recommends that more banks be established, and the privileges of the ones we now have be enlarged. That’s the kind of a democrat the democratic party has nominated three times and elected twice.' And now they want another chance. Excuse us, please. Say, by the way, how can the United States of America settle this Venezuelan dispute without the consent of England and other European nations? If we do get 4nto a war with England we ought to consult her as to what kind of weapons we would be allowed to use. It wouldn’t do to have a weapon that wasn’t “good In Yurruo.”
