We receive dozens of such let

I The following, taken from a

times has come to that nation
also:
I It is often suspected that the
(complaints of shopkeepers con
cerning the bad condition of
'trade are not genuine, but this
year such complaints are known
to be sadly true. The outlook
l'or improvement in any branch
)f trade is exceedingly gloomy.
Commercial and financial cir
cles alike take a pessimistic
view of the situation, and
"croakers' ' who at one time
would have received scant atten
tion are now listened to as if
the' were oracles. Operators
6n the .Bourse have lost their
usual daring and now enter in
fo speculations with a' timidity
that is foreign to their natures.

TALK QF OLD PAIH V FUSION.
In Nebraska, an arrangement
between Democrats and Popu
lists would result in a control of
the Legislature and of the elec
tion of a Senator.
The Democrats, however, are
openly advised by the Party
Bosses to vote for a Republican
rather than a Populist. In oth
er words, they will fu&e with
the Republicans and select a
Republican Senator rather than
to elect a member of the Peo
ple's party.
In Kansas a fusion between
Republicans and Populists
would control.
The Republican Bosses ad
vise their men to fuse with the
Democrats, and to elect a Dem
ocratic Senator rather than a
member of the People's party.
This action of the two old par
ties is most significant. Each
knows that the other is neces
sary to its own existance. Each
knows that when one of them
goes down, the other is bound
to follow. The frauds, hum
bugs, class interests, and cam
paign boodle contributed by
Protected Industries, which are
necessary to one of these old
parties, are necessary to. the
other.
Hence each prefers that the
other shall have the Senator
ship rather than for Populists
to get it.
These two old parties are on
ly enemies in a professional
sense. They understand each
other well and are drawing more
closely together every day.
ACTUAL FUSION IN NEBRASKA
IN THE SENATE.
The Democrats in the Sen
ate of Nebraska have fused with
the Republicans, and have or
ganized the Senate on that ba
sis. The Democratic Farmer in
Georgia, who ran away from
us last summer on account of
Democratic accusations that the
Republicans were going to fuse
with us, will please put ashes
on the chunk, invite the house
dog out at the door, wind up
the clock and go to bed. May
he sleep the sleep of the just
man who has been profoundly
humbugged and yet wants
more. If he is an "Ocala Dem
ocrat" he will probably talk in
his sleep. T. E. W.

From our Washington Correspondent,
Editor Caucasian:
- Hfe have been in the capital
of the great American Republic
for thirty days, with an active
reportorial nose. We have
searched its great area, its pub
lic buildings, its poor quarters
and its palatial section for
the designs ot the founders of
the Republic. It was not dis
coveredthe chaste beauty of
its marble plinths and splendid
architraves were speechless. It
is lost.
It is lost amid overgrowths
of flnnkeyism. Man's image is
liveried into apery, and delights
itself." Washington is a wonder
ful mausoleum, with win ted
sepulc ire of an Pternal winter,
cevering the dead spirit of Col
onial Simplicity.
Washington is a city, is a
vast and beautiful overgrown
village, like theCushan palaces
of Persia, builded by patient
slaves who expect to "level 11 p
the race'' with a party v odoo
worship. They sustain a breed
of aristocrats with the money
that ought to semd the children
of twenty millions of.our pop
ulatk n to school levelling up
the sewer-scraper's ragamuffin
to be the peer of a goose-down
darling; patient slaves who, in
mine and forge and field, warm
the dunghills of the dead patri
otism of '76, and mistake the
livid resurrection ot ghastly
poverty and feverish greed
for the cross of a new Christ
for humanity glorified! This is
Washington. It is beautiful.
Like St. Augustine, the dream
city of Florida, it is beautiful.
One was glassed, and marbled,
and orientalized by the serfs of
the Standard Oil infamy the
other by the hip-hurrahs of par
tisan worship.
The very air in mid-winter is
hot and luminous with parched
and parboiled pride with nei
ther age nor heroic deed to sanc
tify the painted cheek. The
palace of the President is not
good enough for him now ! And
thus gulfed to unknown
depths the mighty chasm be
tween the snob aristocracy, and
the toil, tailed to support it,
grows apace. The imperian liu
compoops flaunt their purpel
and fine linen and the ragged
Caesrrs of future crime can
scarcely write their names.
Think of this: A lady whose
two daughters righteously
enough have to work for a liv
ing for.all, told us this story:
"The ladies of the cabinet
cannot of course return the
calls to all who leave cards at
the receptions. A vife of one
of the Secretaries did not un
derstand this, and drove around
to return all the calls. And what
do you think? At one place she
drove up in her phaeton and
horrors! just think of it! She
found the 'lady' a woman out
in front of the house ..washing
the windows! What a place for
a Secretary's wife to call; the
receptions should not be so
open!"
This was no time to be silent,
ancTwe replied :
"Madame, think of the great
disgrace of that Sercetary's wife
receiving her granduer from
taxes drawn from the window
washers!"
Oh, -but but"
"But what? Was the Repub
lic constructed for the slobber
ation of snobs or the elevation
of window washers to the
Queenship of honest' women?"
"But in refinement "
"Madame, if in one hundred
years" a republic does not edu
cate the toiler's offspring to the
level of the purple spawn, when
will it? That woinan ate hon

The Situation Last Week.
In Congress as seen by an
Allianceman.
We cull the following from a
letter just received from a
prominent Allianceman who is
now in Washington:
There is now an intense but
silent and good-natured war
fare going on between the two
old parties in regard to legisla
tion. The result is, nothing
important is done. The Re
publicans will shirk every
thing, and laugh about it. The j
Democrats are cowardly pro
crastinating. This is really
the truth.
The tariff issue is dead in
congress! Actually dead, and
kpt dead by the Democrats. !
You can t galvanize the corpse.
You don't hear any complaints
from the dems on "high tariff."
There is not a solitary word
heard. You can't draw them
out on the question. Wall
Street is a unit against relief.
There is no high tariff lobby
here. Somehow, there seems
tobea distinct understanding j
that the next Congress will not j
take up the matter. It is the
most singular thing I have ever
known this absolute death of
the issue.
In regard to jobs: a job most
joo most j
actively worked now, under
Republican development is the
lake-cruiser job, under the plea
that Great Britain is building
war vessels on the lakes. -
There are no private advices.,
as to policies developed this ,
early in the work, unless it is
to head off this everlasting ap
propriation business for war
preparation and spot that hor
rible Nicaragua steal. The N.
P. Ry will soon have to have a
settlement.
The feeling throughout the
country, as to our cause, is
splendid very much better
than expected.

republicans and democrats and

and governor. This shows the
rascally falsehoods of tin asso
ciated press up to date. Now
for a populist senator.
(The Associated Press has
since "given down' a few of the
above facts, but mingled with
misrepresentation.)
Congressman McLaurin (6th
dist. b. Car. re-elected) says he
was sant as a democrat, but
that he is an Allianceman, and
when the democrats don't stand
on the Ocala demands they will
miss him!
Reformers in congress are
not crushed with a grin to-day.
We sat beside a laboring man in
the gallery this week and made
a remark to that effect. He re
plied, 'That's right Glory halle
lujah!" It was Tom Watson's
little foot that smashed the more-bond-issuing

Florida claims bill came up
and it w as John Davis, of Kan

Silver is looming up as the
mightiest issue of this age. It
has become the very vestibule of
a financial issue which will shake
he world iand may summon
armies. It may yet be a conflict
between Wall Street and the
civilized world. In the folds of
the silver issue stnd. the fiat
money question. The Sherman
law may be repealed. Silver
men regard it as an infamy any-
, finncial battIe on a square is

preme Court as to the consitu
tionalitv of demonetization has
been advanced on the calendar.
Wall St. princes are almost stag

ABSURD AND FALSE.
The malignity of the partisan
press is shown in the publication
throMghout the country of - the
positive statement as a declara
tion from them, that Senators
Pcffcr atid Kyle had agrcixi to
unite with the democrat to or
gn'ue she Senate, and as nav
were to receive an assistant Scr-
gennt at Arm. And that thr
very man wan selected an old
stalwart democrat etc , etc. The
whole thing is a fabrication and
a lie.
This congress t now talking
itelf to deathat least smi far a
the Senate h concerned it it
doing to stave off the anti-option
bill. It wi'uld pas on a vote.
Stewart ?:dd, in Ins speech of
Jan. 4th imt. :
"The financial structure of the
civilized world in tottering on it
base, and every financial institu
tion in Europe and America is
making desperate efforts to cur
tail credit, increase tu reserves
and maintain solvency!"
Congress is afraid to do any
thing, and it does not -xecpt to
spend eight million dollars for
the Cherokee strip of land. The
Rep blicans will leave every
problem for the Democrats and
the Democra t are frightened
nearly to death you can ce it.
Xot one of them can be hired to
talk tariff low or high. 'Wait,
says the 4Give-us-a-chancet
democracy! "Wait, and let our
changes be so gradual that you
wont now of any changes!"
All this time the two parties are
jolly with good fellowship to
each other. They bargain be
forehand whether thy will let
a bill pass or wont and then
act accordingly.
No hope for 'measures of re
lief to the people this session.
Rut a mighty undertow is mov
ing in the hearts of men.
The Xicaraugua Canal bond
Credit Mobiler Steal is forging
ahead quietly. Rut it will
scarcely get through this ses
sion. The Democrats are in hot
water on the tariff and silver
issues. We tried to interview
three Democratic Congressman
on the McKinley bill. Their
mouths were shut at once. They
are now betwixt twi millstones
-constituents and Wall street.
There will be two months more
of a Republican President and
Senate and a Democratic House,
after whieh the Democrats will
have full power for the first
time in thirty-two years. In that
time they have had at the same
time the House and Senate; also
the President and the House;
but at no time in that period have
they had President, Senate and
House at tbe same time. We ask
ail our Democratic friends who
are with us in principle, but who
had faith in their party and wan
ted to give it a chance, to watch
lor the passage of a free silver
bill, for a bill abolishing the loan
in: of monevlto national banks
by the government at. one per
cent; for the passage of a bill
taxi g incomes; for the adoption
of a law increasing the greenback
currency until the money volume
reaches $50 per capita.
In any state where the Repub
licans cannot elect a Senator,
they should help to beat a popu
list by co-operating with the Dem
ocrats. Globe-Democrat, Dec.
18, 1892.
The Globe-Democrat, the lea
ding Republican .paper, of St.
Louis, Mo., has the above ad
vice to give to Republicans
through the land, showing that
the poprdists are the thorn in the
side of the g. o. p. Anything to
kill the reform movement is their
motto. The plutocrat and gold
bug, whether f n the Democratic
or Republican camp, , will un
sheathe the sword to down the
common enemy, reform for the
masses. Great West.
