Chicago has a bicycle rider who
fcan scoot along backward as well
as he can forward. He must be a
modern democrat.
It is said that “every dog has its
day.” Then what dog’s day is
this? This must belong to the
purp that wears the gold collar.
“More than 1,000,000men,” says
the New York Mail and Express,
“have volunteered for military
service since the beginning of the
present controversy with Spain.”
While the fool people are wild
for war and determined to read or
talk nothing else, the bank? are
working to secure the most infa¬
mous currency system the world
has ever had.
The Cuban people have the
heartfelt sympathy of every pa-
friolic citizen ih their struggle for
liberty, and should be given every
possible aid in their efforts to
throw off the yoke of Spanish tyr-
ahny, but don't fail to remember
this: There are more hungry
people every day in two cities of
bur own country than there are on
the island of Cuba.
If thd people knew’ enough to
demand that all war expenses lie
paid with paper money, receivable
for all dues, there wouldn’t bo a
single column of war news in any
oaily paper In flie United States.
The whole business is manipulated
by Wall street to make more bonds,
more debt, more inforhst and pro¬
vide some way to dispose of the
restless, unemployed people who
are homeless \vanderors in a pre-
tended land of liberty.
When Mr Bryail refers to the
address lately issued by Mary Ann
Bnfler contemporaneously with
the addresses of Chairman Jones
and Town's, as an expression of
the views of the populist national
committee, he cannot fail to know
that ho is stating what is untrue
The populist national committee
issued no such address, nor advis¬
ed Mr. Butler to issue any such
address. They were not even con¬
sulted about it. Mr. Butler and
his fusion allies in Washington
promulgated that document, and
are alone responsible for its con¬
tents. If Mr. Bryan has that re¬
gard for truth and consistency
which his friends claim for him he
will not be guilty of sue! a state¬
ment again.
WHAT IT COSTS TO BE IG-1
NORANT.
Had tho people been wise they
would have selected wise rulers.
But ignorance always selects its j
kind. Had wise rule$| Keen in j
power north and south in-I860,
there would have been no war.
There were a few wise and good
men on both sides, but they were
hound, nverwhelmned by ignor¬
ance and vonality. Wo say if wise
men'llnd been in office, the ques-
tion of chattol slavery would have
been settled without a drop
blood or Heartburning, and the
ranks of tho blue and grey, citi-
zens and brothers of one common
country, would have been engaged
in works of peace and love, instead
of destroying each other like beasts
of prey.
The wealth destroyed and the
labor of the armies, properiy di¬
rected, would have built more rail¬
roads and telegraph lines than the
country has today; would have
built homes for the homeless, food
for the hungry.
Had wise men been in control
there would be no dead or dying,
no ill-feeling, and just laws gov¬
erning tho nation would soon edu¬
cate the masses into a knowledge
of love and truth, and the ce-op-
erative coihmon wealth—even
blighter than Bellamy’s dream of
“on earth as it is in heaven,’’
would long ago have been arealiza-
tion.
There would be no enforced idle¬
ness, no want, no misery, no tene¬
ment hells, no labor question, no
monopoly question today.
Someday these nightmares will
fade away, and the people of the
future will wonder at the stupidi¬
ty of their forefathers in so long
enduring conditions whose fruits
were anarchy and crime.
But ignorance is so expensive,
so tenacious, and will have no
ruler except those like themselves
—and the invisible money power
makes use of all these forces to en¬
throne itself on the shoulders of
the toiling, patient beasts of bur¬
den.
Just stop a minute and then ask
yourself this question : Why, af¬
ter farmers raise food to feed the
nation, and laborers manufacture
goods, tools, furniture and all ar¬
ticles of luxury, it is necessary to
stand idle until a few grains of
worthless sand can be dug out of
the bowels of the earth to be used
as a medium of exchange?
DID YOU NOTICE IT?
What?
When you talk of paper money,
the bankers and their dupes raise
their hands in holy horror at the
idea of starting printing presses to
work grinding out money.
It would be so awfully absurd,
it would, ye know.
But we notice that all the print¬
ing presses will be put to work
grinding out bastard bank notes
for the banks.
When they feel the need of more
money they always have a conve¬
nient law to print money for them,
but the weak, irresponsible gov¬
ernment could not print money.
O, noil The rich bankers get
money printed and given to them
on a bond, but the poor man who
has a deed to his homo cannot get
money printed by depositing his
bond. Yet his propertv is the
basis for all tho value of the bond.
This shows that the-bankers
have been busy \vith their lobbies
at Washington city w’.i’.e the pro¬
ducers were busy making a living
for them.
Every bond issued by this na¬
tion has been a crime, and their
issue was instigated by criminals,
Are we putting it plain enough?
Every bond issued means less
food and clothing for the many,
ami more lascivious luxury for the
rotten aristocracy,
But going baev to the text, you
know it is very absurd about start-
jug printing presses making mon-
ey ! Tumble, you mud-sill?
“SaV'P your money and buy a
gun.” That’s the way the mes¬
sage run; but here’s a hint, the
merest nudge: save your money
and buy a (supreme) judge.
What’s the matter with Sam
Jones? He hasn’t shot off his lip
in several weeks. Sammy must
be indisposod.
The big life insurance compa¬
nies are releasing tho policy hold¬
ers from the clause which carries
a forfeiture of the policy in case
the insured enters the army. •
NOTICE, POPULISTS!
Agreeable to a call issued by
the state executive committee, it
is necessary for us to elect other
delegates to the state convention
which meets in Atlanta May 18.
Therefore the populists of Haral¬
son are hereby called to meet at
the court house, in Rnchanan, on
toe first Saturday in May for that
purpose, and attend to otiier'lmsi-
ness that may come before the con¬
vention. Let us have a full al-
tendance. J. H. Mize, Ch’m.
W. R. Hutcheson, Sec’y.
TWO.CENT FARE IN OHIO.
There is a bill pending in the
legislature of Ohio fixing the pas¬
senger rate over railroads i:i that
state at two cents per mile. The
railroad men have combined to
thwart it. They declare tlu-t they
cannot stand the cut; that even a
three-cont fare doesn’t pay on
most roads. The public will be
slow to believe all that the rail¬
road men say on this subject.
People may not strongly doubt
that the 2-cent rate would not
pay, the traffic remaining the
same, but they think that a great
increase in traffic would follow the
reduction.
The people know’ that electric
cars carry passengers for much
less than 2 cents per mile, and
make gigantic fortunes, withal.
Why, then, cannot ilie steam roads
stand an equally low rate, at least
in the more densely populated
states?—New r Time.
We are requested to announce
that T. A. Hutcheson will sing at
Pleasant Grove church Sunday
morning oefore preaching.
Don’t fool yourself about the
populists “going back” to the dem¬
ocratic party! They’ve been “go¬
ing tack” long enough, and are
going forward in a vigorous march
to progress and reform. Just
watch ’em keep step.—Record.

THE PROMISED PROSPERITY.
McKinley has in ten months
pardoned ninety-eight, bank wreck-
ers and bank swindlers, which is
four times the total number of
pardons granted by any one of hie
predecessors. This is the way to

It is said that a war tax of three
cents a pound is to be put on cof-
fee. How long since the bigeofiee
trusts were apprised of this, and
how' large a stock did they lay in
on tho strength of this informa¬
tion? A w ar tax should be levied
on incomes. Let each citizen pay
his pro rata share -h the
cost of the common defense in
proportion to his ability to pay,
and don't make the poor people
pay the entire cost of the war.—
