The Economist appropriates several
columns of its space this week to the
letter of acceptance of Hou. Wharton
Barker the nominee for president of the
People’s party. This letter should be
read and reread and then preserved
for future reference. Not only should
every populist study it, but all honest
and intelligent democrats and republi
cans should do likewise. It is au able
document —full of statesmanship, pa
triotism and common sense —and will
enlighten and broaden any man who
will thoughtfully peruse it.
Every Populist in the county should
read the notice calling for a meeting of
the respective districts on Saturday,

Pohtios in Georgia will soon make

vote and according to the

Extracts from the great speech of Judge
Samuel W. Williams, of Indiana, de
livered at Cincinnati May 10, 1900.
"Very soon the campfires of the Pod
list army will be lighted on every hill
top and in every valley.
* The frnits of nine years of constant
education will be demonstrated by the
tramp, tramp, tramp, of the tens of
thousands and hundreds of thousands
of honest recruits gathering to support
the Populist banner.
‘•The public mind is being rapidly
filled with truth.
"The public conscience is being quick
ened.
"When it is demonstrated by our ac
tion here that the People’s party is
surely in the middle of the road and iu
tending to keep to its old time music,
the rapidity of our growth iu numerical
strength will astonish the natives and
enable us to land our nominees in tue
White House.
"There are now several bills pending
which I know well the majority of the
voters of the United States will aid ns
to defeat when they come to fully un
derstand the issues. I refer to Bill
McKinley, Bill Bryan and Bill Allen
and I mean no personal disrespect to
either of these gentlemen by this refer
ence.
* 'Great problems are to be discussed
with the close of the century and must
soon be settled.
‘ T hare abiding faith in the success
of the People’s party and believe that
its principles will by suffrage of the peo
ple soon be crystallized into law, for the
reason that upon these great questions
the People’s party of all the parties
stands for the rights, and I believe with
my favorite of the living American
poets that:
" ‘However the battle is ended,
Though prondlv the victor comes,
With fluttering fl igs and prancing nags
And echoing roll of drums,
Still truth proclaims this motto,
In letters of living light—
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
" ‘Though the heel of the strong oppres
sor
May grind the weak in the dnst,
And the voices of fame with one acclaim
May call him great and just,
Let those who applaud take warning
And keep this motto in sight—
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right
" ‘Let these who have failed take cour
age,
Though the enemy seem to have won,
Though his ranks are strong, if he be in
the wrong.
The battle is not yet done.
For sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of night,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
“ ‘O, man bowed down with labor,
O, woman, young, yet old,
O heart oppressed in the toiler’s breast
And crushed by the power of gold;
Keep on your weary battle
Against trinmphant might,
No question is ever settled
Uutil it is settled right.’ ”
These devoted men need your support.
Will you stand idly by and see them
wage the unequal struggle alone? This
is a campaign of personal effort and the
humblest is as great as the greatest at
the ballot box. Every vote counts one
way or the other. If you vote with
your conscience yon swell the strength
of your party and pave the way for fu
ture victory. If you vote with the trai
tors you not only deprive yourself of
your rights and your party of your obli
gated support, but you swell the major
ity of yoar enemies in both the old twin
relics of platocraoy. The great Naz
arene said: "He who is not for me is
against me,” aud the truth of this state
ment is jast as potent today as it was
1900 years ago. Think of it.
Two Bankers at Rutland, Vt., wera
sentenced the othet day to six years for
robbing tneir respective banks. They
robbed in this way hundreds of poor
families who had aided and trusted
them. If they had robbed one of these
families in the brave way of entering
their homes and taking chances on a
fight, they would have been sent up for
twenty years. It mrkes a difference
how yon rob, and the more yon get the
less the penalty. The majority of the
law makers are lawyers. Bat it is jus
tice to send a needy man to prison for a
long term for stealing in order to live,
and to be very lenient wit i the well*
fed, well-groomed, well-s irvsd class
that never do any nsefnl work and steal
from unadulterated greed. Yet we are
civilised?—Kx.

I ANSWER:

Because 1 pay the spot Cash for them.
Because I bought them before the Advance.

IF YES, then why should you go where you can only see

Dr. Frank Clark, in Chicago Record.
The day is rapidly approaching when
no great business can be carried on
without an immense capital. Today
th 9 business world is realizing that the
trust is an absolute necessity. Compe
tition is suicide. Now suppose the day
fully comes when the beef, transporta
tion, drv goods, coal and other forms of
business are absolutely controlled by
i espective trusts. Which, theD, would
be better, to allow these businesses to
remain private in their nature, and
thus capable of over-whelmingly influ
encing legislation to their advantage, or
to make their managers politi al of
ficers, directly elected by the people and
responsible to them? To call the latter
alternative “paternalism” is absurd.
Which is the greater paternalism, to
have our necessities of life controlled by
men who are in no wise responsible to
us and who have the power to oontrol
any lawmakers we may elect, or to give
the control to men whom we elect and
whom we call and will depose? The
municipalization of all kinds of busi
ness which have become great enough
to command absolutely auy form of
public necessity is simply the applica
tion of principles of democracy to our
economic life. To have snch business
in the hands of private corporations is
to continue under a state of economic
feudalism.
a
W ealth concentrated is swiftly exting
uishing wealth scattered. The condi
tion of civil liberty existing in this age
is giving free play to the great natural
law that wealth constantly tends to uni
fication. To stop this law, to prevent
the circulation of money, wonld be to
revsrt to barbarism, to undo civilization.
We need only apply the great principle
of democracy to wealth, we need only
oover all enormons wealth nnits into
the one great wealth unit of the people,
in order to make conoentration of
wealth to the medium of a 00-operative
commonwealth. We mast go on. We
oannot go baok. Th.re ie but one goal;
it is to public servant, and thus to se
cure a government “of the people, by
*he people and for the people.”
