The following address was prepared

the House of Representatives of the
United States Senate, when that body
should take action on the report of the
Committee of Labor, recommending
the appointment of a congressional
committee to investigate the cause of
the present industrial and agricultural
depression:.
To the HonorabU tht 8pealtrand Mtmbtrt
of the Horns of Reprtstntativet of tht
United Slates:
In view of the pending resolution to
appoint a joint committee of the Senate
ana your nonorable body to consider
the causes walch have produced the
present depressed condition of the in
dustrial interests of this country, we
desire to submit a few facts and con
clusions by the way of urging its adop
tion. That the people of this country are in
financial distress, the increase of bust
nets failures, bankruptcies, mortgage
foreclosures, defalcations, and commer
cial wrecks, furnish ample and complete
evidence. That poverty or parsimon
ious economy has come upon them, the
ever-Increasing hosts of unemployed
worklag men and women who till our
street and thoroughfares, the vast
amount of Idle machinery seen on every
hand, and the unsold and consequently
unused products of the field and tactory
filling tne shelves of our merchants or
molding in great storehouse bear si
lent yet conclusive testimony. That
the producing classes are industrious
the volume of gross production is suffi
cient proof; and that the promises of a
kind Providence are still with them,
tbe rich and abundant harvest fully de
clares. Yet in the face of hard toil,
rigid economy and this abiding test of
God's bounty, many (altogether to.)
many of our people) stand in hunger
and in rags amid bursting granaries and
crowded warehouses.
The people are not to blame for these
unfortunate and distressing conditions.
They have as a whole performed their
part fully and well. But the more they
labor the less remuneration they re
ceive, and the more they bring to mar
ket the leKS money comes to their
pocket.
In 1867 each acre of wheat brought
128 06, in 1893 It brought only $0 15. Tn
1807 each acre of corn brought 118.87,
in 1803 it brought but $4.21. In 1887
eacn acre of oats brought 116.05, in
1893 it brought only $6.90. In 1879
4 720,000 ba.es of cotton brought 1242,
140,000; while in 1893 7,640,0)0 bales
brought only I224.400.0U0. In 1889 farm
animals in the United Stat-s vera
valued at $,507,050,043 In 1804 they
are valued at $2,170,816,754.
The wealth of the nation in January,
1893, wa estimated at 170,100,000 1 06;
since that date, however, it is also eatl
mat -d that this wealth has decreased
fully $20,000,000,000.
If this estimate ts correct, and we be
lieve it is conservative, It discloses the
further fact that the debts and money
of the country have Increised In their
"power to oppress" fu.ly 50 per cent., if
not more During this pi-rlnd there
were over 83,000 mortgage foreclosures,
and more than 50,000 commercial fail
ures, which have stagna ed all Dualizes
and laid a paraljztig hand upon all
productive industries. These conui
lions are not the creatures of a unonaun',
but the steady growth of many years.
Filled with nope, the people have bat
tled courageously to be back at this in
creasing tldrt of want, miter; and dis
tress. Now, however, In many sections of
our country, hope is waning As an
evidence of this we see lrrge bodies of
unemployed men from nm.y portions
of the country i-iarchlng to Washing tun.
We deplt re ac'lon m their part,
as we deplore ihr can.: that have
made such actio wot.. U,e. We are

A School or tbe Kingdom.
A Summer Sohool of Applied Chris
tianity will be held at Iowa College, be
ginning tbe morning of the 27th of
June and closing the evening of July 4,
under the auspices of the department
of Applied Christianity In Iowa College
and the American Institute of Chris
tian Sociology. It will be a school for
study concerning the kingdom of God,
and the ways and force for realizing
that kingdom In a Christian social
order.
The school differs from the popular
summer assembly. It alms to bring to
gether only such as are deeply and
righteously Interested, or are seeking
to be Interested, in the study and solu
tion of social and political problems in
the light of tbe gospel of. Christ. It
offers and would bavn 00 other attrao
tion than the best thoughts and divine
messages of a group of earnest men
whose llyes are dedicated to procuring
for society the righteousness of the
kingdom of G Jd. The school means to
attract only serious men and women,
who are willing to give strict and faith
ful attention to tbe lecture and confer
ence. The brevity of time, eight
days, and the number and Importance
of tbe theme discussed demand pur
pose and concentration from those who
attend It is the Idea of Its conductors
that this conference be a school of tbe
social dleclples of Jesus. Jt Is their
hope that many will come together
who believe that Jesus is tbe Redeemer
of society aod the nation. This
thought can be no more clearly ex
pressed than by the following state
ment of "Objects," taken from the con
stitution of the American Institute of
Christian So.iology.
Thaobjjctsof this Institute are tbe
following:
1. To claim for the Christian law
the ultimate authority to rule social
prac'le.
2. To study In common how to apply
the principles of CorUtlanlty to tht
social an 1 economic difficulties of the
present time.
3. To present Christ as tho Llvln
Master and King of men, and His king
uom a th cotup'eta idea) of hutrau
society, to bo realized on earth.
To all who would unite in a week of
study and prayi-r, to the end that God's
kingdom miy come and ills will be
done through Jesus Carlst, an urgent
invitation 1 given to attend this Sum
mtT School of Appllt d Christianity.

Appeal to Worklngmen,
Fellow Labobeks: You have
learned through tbe varlou paper of
large circulation how the unemployd
with Kelly and Coxey have been treat
ed tt different time and place. You
know that man; intelligent perion
who earn food and raiment for them
selves and those dependent on tbem in
Omaha and elsewhere have shown
sympathy and pity and given aid to
these forced tramp on their way to
Washington, and also how the farmer
along their route are feeding, shelter
ing, and transporting them towards
tidr destination. You also well know
hew corporations, railroads, and state
authorities are intimidating, threaten
in, and abusing these men for whom
Christ died He who said "Seek first
the klogdom of Gad and it righteous
ness, and all these things food and rai
ment shall be added unto you."
Now I wish to remind you of the com
ing election and urge you to cast your
ballots in your own interest; and that
with you lie tbe balance of power, In
tbe forthcoming Rspub'lcan and Demo
cratic convention the corporations,
railroads, eto , will be on hand in
force to nominate their tool for the
different state offioes.
The Populist convention will aim to
place men on their ticket that are fa
vorable to labor and farming lnteretts,
and men who advocate and demand
"Free Coinage of Sliver," "Government
Control of Railroads," "Government
Loans on Real Estate," and the "Aboil
ilon of the Present Banking System,"
"Taxing Incomes," "Eoforolng Labor
Laws now upon our Statute Books,"
and a "Rightful Adjusting of the Tar
iff." Boyoottlng may not always be right,
but lomelimes It 1 a good cure for ex
isting evils, and as time are herd and
money scarce I would, a a matter of
conomy, suggest that if you are a sub
scriber of the Bee, World-Herald, or
State Journal or any paper controlled
ny corporations or the money power,
tbatjou pay up arrears and then stop
ihtm, as they are undoubtedly un
trleodly to you and the farmers' Inter
s's. and will oppose any good man
ilacvdon tbe Populist ticket who Is
oval to Populist principle. Thore
re many good Populist papers (The
Wealth Makers Is one) that furnish
4:1 tho latest and best new and will
keep you posted on the true atatui of
o.ilitical and industrial affairr, and 1
urge to subscribe for and read them If
yoa can affird it. In connection with
t lis, and before closing, will say that
it has become customiry for cor:e
sp uc eat to name their choice for state
officers, I will say my say as to who, in
my judgment, are good men to place at
the hoad of our ticket:
State Senator James E. Harris for
govern )r, and Wo. A.Poynter for lieu
tenant governor, I think would be a
wUo choice. Both of these men are

Both the Democratic and Republican
partle have established bead-quarter
and are today preparing million of
campaign document to be sent out dur
ing tldls campaign.
It 1 the opinion of tht shrewdest
politician at Washington, that if the
People' Party take advantage of the
blunder and infamy of the present
administration, there will be no trouble
In electing Populist member enough
to hold the balance of power In tho
next Congrea. It i alio admitted by
the closest observer among both the
Democratic and Republican politician
that the next election of president will
be thrown into the Ilouse.'.whioh will
give, the Populist the power to dictate
who shall bo the next president of the
United States? The election la tbe
state of Oregon come off in June, and
In Alabama la August. We are al
most absolutely sure to carry Alabama,
and we stand an even chance with either
of the old parties In Oregon. To help
to carry Oregon and Alabama la to help
put life and enthusiasm In our party In
every state la the Union.
Tho People' Party 1 competed of
the great common people of the country
who are poor and honest. It has no
millionaire, bank or railroad corpora
tion upon which to call for campaign
funds.
The National Committee ha estab
lished head-quarter at Washington
where it can procure an unlimited
amount of campaign literature at a
mall coat. One thousand dollar used
in eur party will do a much work as a
hundred thousand dollar in either of
tbe old partle.
After carefully considering the above
facta and the bright prospect for our
party in the coming campaign, we feel
it our imperatlvo duty to appeal to our
people every where to eome to the aid
of the national eommltteo in doing this
great work. In the last election our
party polled more than a million vote
for president ' '
We now earnestly appeal to 1,000 of
that number to give us 15 each, 10,000
to give us $1 each, 20,000 60 cent each,
20,000 25 cent each, and the remainder
of the one million to give u 10 cent
and 5 cent each. We also earnestly
appeal to all Peoplo' Party Club, Le
gions, and League to raise what funds
they can for the committee, by taking
up collection, giving entertainment
eto. We make this request because; we
believe it our duty to do 10. If our
party ever attain success, each mem
ber of the party must contribute to that
success not only with his ballot, but
with whatever moans be can spare. To
respond promptly and liberally means
success that will blobi the nation for al.
time to como.
All contributions should be sent to
