THE WEALTH MAKERS.
Conventional Moralists Criticised
Editor Wealth Makers:
Nothing, seemingly, hurts many of our
ministers and misnamed Christian peo
ple and the men who run in a partis m
froouf s.1 mnnVi the iilatn unvarnislifd
truth.
They will shed crocks full of tears
over the misery wrought by the drunk
It ard who drives his family to hunger,
tatters, despair, and oft times crime.
V Denunciations and imprecations are
lavishly heaped on the bead of the
vendors of alcoholio liquor, while the
fallen daughters are loathed and spurn
ed by their sisters, like unto serpents,
and the laws of the communities are
invoked and compelled to clutch with
Jron fineera and fold to a chilling bosom
Khe hapless victims.
r Bu ;"ben you suggest to these same
individuals the thought, that possibly
these beings, are their creation, you at
once find yourself, in the middle of
very large, and aggressive hornets nest
and yd are very apt to find yourself, la
a brief llscussion, placed on the same
level with the drunkard, the liquor
seller, and the prostitute. Their charity
and sympathy ceates the moment you
commence to reasoa from cause to effects.
The leda that they might be more
guilty, in making the drunkard, than
the whisky seller, is of course prepos
terous, and equally so the thought that
they might be the creator of the liquor
'ieller and the prostitute.
' "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou
eat bread." Have you done it? Are
you doing it now? If not, you have
been stealing it, and are stealing it
now? ( This holds good for every healthy
able-bodied man and woman in the
realm. Have you exacted two, six,
twelve hours labor, a week's, a month's,
a year's labor, for an hour of your own
exertion, physical or mental? Ii so,
how will you justify your act, with the
inmrnonfimaninT nn nv mi vfiiir iihi l ii

and yours?

you think it would bo a Christian law?
Feed the hungry, clothe the naked,
sit the sick, &c, were duties enjoined
But to rob them first, and then give
starving, is not one of the duties or
privileges of a Christian, or even a half
civilized person, or nation.
Today, it is claimed that millions of
people are fed by Christian charity. O,
what a mockery! Men robbed by
statutes of the privilege to work, not
directly, but indlreetly, and this directly
by your ballot.
Robbed for years of the greater part
of their production, to feed non-workers

How a Farmer Assaults Hard Heads
LlaOY, Neb , March 5, 1891
Editor Wealth Makers:
, In looking over your Issue of March
1st, current series, I noticed the follow
ing: "Suggestions for Reaching the
Indifferent." We have many "old hard
heads ' here and you cannot get them
to touch or look at anything published
by a "lunatic," and they will not even
take anything of a reform natura from
the office.
My plan is as follows: 1 pick out
man, the a select what I think he wll
most likely read, if he takes it home,
send the price of whatever be may
read to any publisher of reform books
who may be nearest, with a request
that they wrap it in such a way that its
contents cannot be seen until taken
home. It will be read, and another
man is made to see his errors.
Yours for reform,
"Farmeb."
Organize! Organize!
Realizing that there, must be some
method of organizing the towns dur
ing the coming summer, and believing
that the Industrial Legion offers the
best method of effecting that result,
have consented to become recruiting
officer for Nebraska. My work will be
to appoint organizers throughout the
State and get them actively engaged
in organizing Legions. I desire that
there shall be at least one organizer in
every county in the state; and that the
name of some active worker from each
of the counties be at once reported for
that place.
The Industrial Legion is the People's
party club organization. It was start
ed by the People's party national com'
mlttoe. At the meeting of the committee
n St. Louis last month it was again
heartily endorsed. This being the
case, ioDr&sKa snouia noia back no
longer. After consulting with leading
populists from all parts of the state, I
am convinced that the Industrial
Legion furnishes the most effective
means of organizing the party, especi
ally in the towns; and having come to
that conclusion, regardless of personal
ities, I am ready to do what lies in my
power to push it forward to success.
n the last campaign those counties
which were most thoroughly organized
lato Legions, made the best showing,
The best example of this was Custer,
the banner Populist county of the state,
which was organized into Legions dur-
ng the summer of '03.
The thing for Nebraska populists to
do, is to bury all personal differesces
and push right straight forward for
the principles we advocate. Do not
run off after strange gods, but keep an
eye single to the three central ideas on
which the party was founded: Money-
Laud and Transportation. Make en-
ngling alliances with none, but in
vite men to us because our contention
is just. Any other path means daath.
This path means life, because it is
the right path.
This fall we will have the hardest
fight in our history; and we must be
organized as we never have been be
fore, if we hope to achieve any meas
ure of success.
THE GOOD POINTS OP THE LEO ION.
It costs only twenty-five cents to
oln it and only twenty-five cents per
quarter for dues. Women and minors
can join for ten cents. It is a political
organization distinctively, andr.as such
tends at once to strengthen the party.
It is an open organization, although it
may have secret meetings. Any othf-r
industrial organic it! "n may change it
self into a Lfclon by reporting Its offi
cers, subscrlblr-c to the Omaha plat
form and payin t, a oents for a char
ter. The Legion can be organized in
th town. It has been recommended
three different times by the national
populUt committee. The executive
committee of the Peoples party is the
executive committee of tht Industrial
Legion. All theie points are te be
urgd la Its favor and many more,

leaders above referred to cun conceal
Do Politics Concern Women? the fact that both are striving to accom
Politics is the science of government, pHn the same purpose, namely, the
and just as long as human society ex
ists, there mur t be politics and covern-
ment of some sort, hereiore all good
citizens should endeavor to do a share
toward perfecting the science. Gov-
ernment is the regulation of the rela-
tions of human beings to one another,
and therefore every true woman, being
affected as much ns any one by govern-
ment, should be interested in the politi-
cal welfare of her country.
If those who love liberty and justice
fall to exert their due influence upon
the government, then the government
is sure to become a terrible power in
the hands of the few to oppress the
many. The way in which women are
studying and discussing important prob-
lems of the day is proof that they are
interested in politics.
The Woman's Political Club of Den-
ver is cited In evidence. This club in-
eludes in its membership womeo f all
political opinions and tbey dwell in
harmony. The club has been hold-
ing a lerles of dtsousslons upoa the
National Bankine system and Gov rn-
ment Ownership of Railroads. Both
sides of the questions were well main-
tained, aad the deep interest manifested
indicates that the club means to under-
stand the Issues thoroughly.
Thus are the Colorado women prepar-
ing themselves fortheir newly acquired
citizenship and its responsibilities, and
it would be well if women everywhere,
even though they can not vete, would
emulate their example.
Too many women say, Oh, I am not
interested In politics, they don't con-
cern me." Hut they do. There is not
a law passed whloh does not directly or
ndlrectly affect woman and home.
Any woman can see without much
study that the law which demonetised
silver has robbed women and children
of many of the necessaries and com-
forts of life.
What woman can know that out of
twelve million homes in this nation,
nine million are mortgaged and say that
financial legislation does not concern
her? I
not see that the great trusts which
unite to control the market and run up
the price of coal, flour, sugar, coffee and
other necosaarles of life, are her direct
enemies?
Let her ask herself why these trusts
should be allowed to exist and rob her,
and why sho should not have a chanse
to help destroy them,
What woman can not see that there
is something very unjust about a system
whloh allows greedy employers to give
her much less wages than they would
have to give a man for doing th same
work? Our presidents in their inaug-
urals are much given to pouring out for
the people liberal quantities of such
soothing syrup as this: "It is always
wise and salutary to make laws and
devlte legislation for the defense of our
poorest, weakest citizens " And at the
very same time these officials are known
to be interested In the trusts and com-
bines that sap tho life blood of these
"poorest-, weakest,"womencitizens, and
over It all stands Justice personified in
the form of woman.
It is high time women were doing
tome studying and thinking on these
subjects. Tbey must realize that poll-
tloi do concern them. It Is nothing
mor uor less than selfishness for them
tt thick the whole duty of woman lies
within the four walls o.' her own home they can for the committee, by taking
when tho land Is filled with thousands up collections, giving entertainments
of human beings, her sister women, who etc. We make this request because we
have no homes. If women will but lu- believe It our duty to do so. If our

Editor Wealth Makers:
It seem) unfortunate that two men of
so much intelligence as Hon. C. D. Cas
per and th-j EJUor of The Wkalth
Maiceiis should entraoped by (he
cunning of a common enetnv, but judg
ing from the editorial page of last
week's Issue of Tn Wealth Makers
such is the cao. The criticism by Mr.
Casper of the Populist party, as quoted
from his paper, and the observations of
the editor of. The Wealth Makebs
respecting some free coinage people
now belonging to other parties shows
that the efforts of the goldbugs to drive
an entering wedge that would ultimate
ly create dissensians between the Peo
ple's party and the free coinage advo
cates of other parties, has not been en
tirely without effect. Neither one of the
- 1 emancipation of the people of this
country from the evil effects of a re-
strlctcd currency, and as the means pro
posed ny both for attaining success
teems to be the same, would it not be
much better to give less prominence lo
'Jo issues and prejudice, and as leaders
shorten up the traces and get hitched
nearer the load. If Populist speakers
811(3 writers confine themselves strictly
I to our piatiorm as adopted at Umaha
faIr minded practical men will not take
exception to it, and I believe our parly
la bIff and broai enough to say to free
allver wen of both the old parties, and
especially to such loaders as Caipor and
Bryan when you get tired of trying to
worm your ol partleson this question
coma over hundreds of thousands
ofu have already done, and we will
no yu to take a seat in the "back
kitchen" but you shall have ail that by
nature, education and experience you
Bre qualified to enjoy.
It. A, Tawney,
An Appeml to the million Populist
Voters,
Both the Democratic and Republican
parties have established head-quarters
and are today preparing millions of
campaign documents to be sent out dur
ing tl.ls campaign.
It is the opinion of the shrewdest
politicians at Washington, that if the
People's Party takes advantage of the
blunders and infamy of the present
administration, there will be no trouble
In electing Populist members enough
to hold the balance of power in the
next Congress, it is aUo admitted by
the closest observers among both the
Democratic and Rep ibllcan politicians
that the next election of president will
be thrown into the House, which will
give the Populists the power to dictate
who sball be the next president of the
United States? The election in the
state of Oregon comes off in June, and
in Alabama in August, We are al-
most absolutely sure to carry Alabama,
and wo stand an even chance with either
of the old Dartles in Ore con. To heln
I a ct sr
to carry Oregon and Alabama is to help
put life and enthusiasm in our party in
every state in the Union.
The People's Party is composed of
the great common people of the country
who are noor and honest. It has no
millionaires, bank or railroad corpora-
tions upon which to call for campaign
funds.
The National Committee haB estab-
lished head-quarters at Warihlngton
whero it can procure an unlimited
amount of campaign literature at a1
small cost. One thousand dollars used
in our party will do as much work as a
hundred thousand dollars in either of
the old parties.
After carefully considering the above
facts and the bright prospects for our
party in the coming campaign, wo feel
it our imperative duty to appeal to our
people every whero to como to the aid
of the national committee in doiug this
great work. In the last election our
party polled more than a million votes
for president.
We now earnestly appeal to 1,000 of
that numbt-r to elvo us 95 each. 10.000
to give us $1 eaoh, 20,000 CO cents each,
20,000 25 cents pach, aud the temalndrr
of the one million to give us 10 con's
and 5 oont each, W also parrR'ftly
appeal to all People's Party Clubs, Le
gtons, and Leagues to raise what funds
with whatever meant he can 'pare. To
re pood promptly and liberally means
