the Alliance widen first started - it wras
simply an association of farmers to pro
tect farmers" against I combines and
trusts, i The orfianizjation originated
with and among Democrats, and, 60
Democrats felt no hesijtancy about join
ing. Most all of the early members
were Democrats.
And I will tell you, thy daughter, and I
want you to read the -si-hole of this let
ter (especially this part of it) to your
mothei, how I happened to join tha Al
liance. r It-was during the' campaign
some six or eight yers ago -that .Col.
Polk, then a prominent Alhance man',
came into our county to make a Dem
ocratic speech. He took up the various
questions that so deeply concerned the
farmers, and discussed them from the
Alliance stand-point, saying as he would
close up on each topic !r "These are the
principles for which the Farmer's "Alli
ance is contending. And every one
present joined in the! applause which
followed. Finally, after he discussed
every question upon which the people
were at all interested, j TSe stopped just
long enough" to secure perfect silence
and undivided attention. Then in that
emphatic and heroic manner, for which
the Colonelwas so noted Z- in his ad
dresses, he said: "Fellow citizens, I
have discussed, from Ihe Farmer s Al
liance stand-point, all . the questions
which so vitally concern you, and; you
hare liberally applauded every state
ment that I have made, thereby mani
festing your approbation of what I have
said. Now, fellow citizens, justice de
mands that I should say, that, these
views-which I have presented as being
sold out, .therefore we are slaves. , .
Benedict Arnold failed in his attempt
to be a traitor. The plot discovered antl
and Washington and his brave men saved
from the horrors that Would have re
spited, if treason had been successful. I
Those who had oommand of our
brave army of reformers were more sue
cessful than was Benedict Arnold.' They
consummated the trade sold us out,
and , turned us over . horse, foot and

We, the rank and file, get nothing to
our share ; and daily our new masters,
here in the Legislature, are " becoming
more and more tyranical and domineer
ing toward its, and insolent in their de
mands. ' - : '
A few years ago they called us broth
ers, and. said we were a brotherhood of
reformers. Now," they do not hesitate
to sneer at us, and tell us that we Popu
lists are nobody ; 4hat our party is
'busted" in the nation and, inasmuch
as we have forfeited the confidence and
esteem of our old party associates, the
Democrats, and are like dogs without
homes or masters, that we will be
obliged to stay where we are, make the
best We can of our condition, take our
and dp the voting and the dirty ..work

That is the way things are now, and
I feel just as .mean as if I were in the
penitentiary for robbing a grave. I am
obliged to do just what the caucus says,
and the caucus has to do just what the
five bosses say. And so it is.' That is
why'-I voted for the Fred Douglass busi
ness, and why I attended the funeral
and shed tears over the old negro mis-,
cegenationist. Had to do it.

Doctor said that picture must have had
something to do with bringing oh the
attack, and asked for the paper,! - After
looking at it for a moment he nodded
his head and slid : "Here it is," at
the same- time pointing to the picture
representing the members-of the Legis

The Morning Advertiser is in receipt
of the following query;- the answer to
which may interest others besides the
person who propounds it : .
Editor Morning Advertiser : ... ;v .
Will you kindly inform L whether in
your opinion Populism tends to Social
ism. An answer would put me under
obhgations to you. 4 - V i 8. E. M. -.
New York, Feb. 2S.; "-
Popuhsm not only "tends" to Social
ism i but is Socialism. . Socialism,
broadly speaking, looks t6 the collective
ownership - and; management r of V all
branchs of production and exchange,
and all methods of transportation and
communication', -' The application of
this principle, however, takes various
forms.'; Some Socialists insist upon the
total abolition of private property,; and
individual rights, while others less rev
olutionary are not ready yet for such an
extreme. . . ---v ... l-";r vv;
An idea of the character of Popuhsm
is afforded by the platform adopted last
year by the Wisconsin Populists. That
platform embodies the following ..de
mands: Municipal ownership of - street
cars and gas and electric plants, the na
tionalism of telegraphs, telephones, rail"
roads and mines, the collective owner
ship by the people of all means of ,' pro
duction and distribution known as cor
porations and trusts, the exemption of
improvements on land from taxation,
and the furnishing Of employment by
the public "at reasonable wages" to all
who need it. These demandVin , some
Western States : are supplemented by
others equally fantastic,, such, for ex
ample, as the issuing of paper money
by. the Government on the deposit of
aer cultural products. "S. E. M." can
judge for himself to what grade of So
cialism such mad proposals belong.
Populism,' it is not amiss to point out,
israaicaiiy at war with American prin
ciples. It assumes and declares virtu
ally that poverty ana mistortune are
due to the government, and "therefore
the government owes every man a living
It looks upon the possession or wealth
as a crime, and by confiscation and
taxation would punish men who by in
dustry, sobriety, skill : and frugality
have succeeded in rising above their
fellows in material advantages. Popu
lism, in brief, is the gospel of class ra
pacity and discontent, and every good
citizen will treat it as the foe of justice

I lay there and -listened to her that you j the principles of the Farmer's Alhance,
Jiever had heard of the Farmers Alu-j and which you have approved by your
luce and of the People's Party but that J applause, are the pnniciples pf the great
you were just like you used to be before I democratic party."
When he said that! all the Kepubhv
cans got up and left the house. Seeing
that I concluded to join at once think
ing that, as Republicans didn t hke it,
because, its principles were those of De
mocracy, it' must ihdeed be a good
thing. And I joined it to help tight
the trusts which had 'grown up in the j
country, under Republican rule and to
help rescue that poorj, hard-worked and
impoverished class called farmers, from
tha clutches of the combines and mono
polies, which Republican legislation, and
rascality had allowed and fostered ; . for
I knew then, and we jail know now, that
the Democratic partjf was,, directly or
indirectly, responsible for a single one of
the thousand evils which perplexed and
impoverished the people. I knew then
and we all know now1 that the Republi
can party is a high tariff party, and a
gold standard party nd that it never
was the friend of the ; poorer classes. o,
my daughter, I joined the Alhance to
fight the Republican! party-,, and I want
you to tell your mother that I did.
- When I joined we said we would
never quit the fight so long as there was
a- Republican party, ircith its gold stand,
ard, high tariff and combines to meas
ure lances with ours.) it was to be a
fieht to the death or to victory, on our
part, and we were sure of victory. But,
alas, for the irony ot!f ate.
Our fine army, which we. organized
and marched into the field, with flying
banner,, and beating drums, and ghs
toning bayonets, is no more.
We have lowered Our banners, thrown
down our arms, surrendered our princi
ples every principle for which we once
contended, and unconditionally surren
dered to the party which brought upon
the country all the evils of which we
ever complained. And we, who, a few
years ago. were so full of hope and en
thusiasm; so full of manhood and - pa
triotic pride are prisoners in the camp
of our old enemy, working side by side
with negroes, hewers of wood and
drawers of water, foi our masters.
I never thought that I, who loved Zeb
Vance as a father, would, in so short
time after his death; be doing the -dirty
work of that party which both feared
and hated "Old Zeb," because he had
the boldness to hit a mean thing, and
the manhood to champion the cause of
the poor, against th6 oppressions of that
which brought ruin and poverty upon
the country. I .' ..
But, such is the fact, my daughter.
The Farmers' Alliance which made such
bold demands, and I the People s party
which promised to Champion those de
mands, are prisoners of war, being at
the mercy of our captors the Republi
cans--and are kept within prison
bounds, by the five big Sentinels who
sit on the watch-tower to oversee us;
We are not allowed any privileges, but
must do as we are icommanded. That
accounts for my not coming home last

Chicago Tribune. , .. . .. ,;,
-A. rather amusing Btory Is told on a
young society matron.- The daughter
of wealthy and indulgent parents, she
had never known a care until ishe as
sumed the responsibility of housekeeping
at the time of her marriage a few years
ago. She is now a mother. Her young
sister was seen recently in a street car
with a child in her arms. :.! J
. "Whose baby is that ?" inquired a
friend, who was rather astonished to see
the young lady taking care of a child.
' ' "O, it is sister's," she replied. . "She
was at our house last night, and ; when
she left for home forgot the baby. I
am taking it to her now."" -
"Biit how did she forget the baby ?"
inquired the surprised friend.
'She knew she was forgetting some
thing when-'she left, but could not think
what it was." 1

Hooi's Sarsaparilla has achieved . great
success in WBrding off sickness, which,
if allowed to progress.would have under
mined the whole system and given dis
ease a strong foothold to, cause -much
suffering " and even threaten j death.
Hood's Sarsaparilla has done all this
and even mre. It has taken in .thou
sands of cases which were though to be
incurable, and after a fast trial has ef
fected wonderful cures, bringing health,
strength and joy to the afnicted. An
other important point about Hood s
Sarsaparilla is that itsl cure are perma

foundation of purified, vitalized and en

as'to financial legislation, but why was
it ? The Democratic pajrty has always
taught that the first duty of a Senator or
Representative was to represent his
constituents. Well, that is precisely
what the Democrats in the Senate and
House of the Fifty-third -Congress did,
and that is why there was no financial
legislation. President Cleveland realized
this, and he has no "word of abuse for
Congressmen who stood by. the
of their constituents, although he has
not hesitatea to express tne opmion
that those views - were wrong and that
time would convince those who held
them of the fact.

of Congress was that Senator Chandler,

of other Senators. It may have been
unparliamentary for Senator Hfil, who
gave "Little Billy" a terrible tongue
thrashing, to refer to him as a "hyena,"
but its aptness excused its use in that
particular case. Senator Martin after
saying that he had heard it said that if
Chandler had his deserts he .: would be
in the penitentiary instead of the Senate,
referred to Chandler as a "buzzard,"
who sat in the nest5 of an eagle and
"vomited forth its filth on every oc
casion.". While a dispute was going
on as to whether. Senator Martin's
words should be taken down he said
that he woulfl withdraw the objectiona
