open up great possibilities to capitalists.
After condensing machines costing $20,

only be another step to secure titles to
portions of the atmosphere, and, as
argon is as necessary to preserve life as
oxygen and nitrogen, the drawing off of
considerable quantities of the new ele
ment in certain territories will leave the
people at the mercy of manufacturers.
Monopolization of air is not at all im
probable. Exchange.

anything that would make the veriest,

party papers would defend it! How ele
gantly they would demonstrate that the
right of property in the argon was high
er than mere human life. And how the
soldiers would march out, gasping for
breath, to defend with their lives, the
ck-shop. And how the courts would
y to the rescue; while the people would

POLITICAL REFORM
A Call For a National Confereuot
We, the undersigned, advocates ot po
litical reform, representing various viewt
and various methods of procedure, units
in a Call for a National Conference to be
held in the University Temple, Pro Inhi
bition Park, Staten Island, June 28th to
July 4th. .
The object of the Conference is to be an
interchange of views on the following
leading questions:
1. No manufacture or sale of alcoholic
liquor for medical or other use except by
the State and Federal Government; total
Prohibition for beveraize purposes.
2. The details of the Tariff regulated
bv a National Bureau.
3. No monopolies or Trusts dealing in
the necessities of life and preventing fair
competition. 2
4. The ownership by the Government
Federal, State or Municipal oi ran
roAda. telephones and telegraphs.
5. Civil Service Reform rigidly applied
to non-political offices.
6. Woman Suffrage.
7. Tax Reform.
8, Bi-Metalism. Monometalism.
Free Coinage of Silver and Gold. The
demonetization of both gold ana silver.
9. A National Currency issued by the
Federal Government only, exchangeable
in gold and silver bullion at the option
of the Government; in gold bullion at the
rate of 25.8 grains (standard) to the
dollar, and in silver bullion of an equiva
lent market value.
10. The election, by direct vote, of
United (states Senators.
11. The system of proportional repre
sentation. '
The discussion shall be open alike to
those who are friendly or hostile to these
various views, believing that the way to
reach a closer union is through freespeech
and a clearer understanding ot the views
held by all. If possible, without a viola
tion of principle, the friends ot political
reform should enter the next Presidential
campaign united. No harm can come
from a frank talk along these lines.
The Conference will be a representative
one, all political reform organizations
being invited to participate; as. the Pro
hibition Party, People's Party, Socialist
Labor party, organizations that advo
cate civil service reform, single tax, ai
rect tax. Sunday observance, and all

Resolutions adopted at a mass-meeting
of the People's Independent party of
Sheridan county Nebraska, held at Kush-
villeMay 11, 1895:
whereas; The representatives of the
People's Independent party assembled at
Omaha, Nebraska, in national conven

clearly and -unmistakably formulated a
platform; and
Whereas; The purposes of that plat

necessary expenses of the government;
therefore, be it
Resolved; That it is the senBe of this
meeting that the Omaha platform sets
forth the principles of the People's Inde

from or adding to that platform except
through the reconvened representatives
of the people. Be it further
Resolved; That the coquetting, or fu
sion of any person or persons, with any
party or persons not of the People's In

that such person or persons are danger
ous enemies of our cause.

A Letter From Senator Allen
Editor Wealth Makers:
la The Wealth Makers of the 6th of
December, 1894, ; you took occasion,
among other things, to say, in an editor
ial that was evidently designed to infill.
ence the Governor in his appointments:
"Senator Allen and Gen. Weaver hare
both urged our people to fuse with the
Democrats, and in a published interview
the former advised Populist to vote for
Democratic candidates for the legisla
ture. The fusion deal planned In Wash
ington and exposed by Chairman Tau
beneck was an actual fact, and not all of
it was told. Senator Allen did his best
to carry it out here in Nebraska: first, to
get Judge Robinson, Democrat, nomina
ted by the Populists of the Third district;
second, to get Devine pulled off or to
withdraw to appease the Democrats;
third, to get Populists to help elect Bry
an-Democrats to the legislature. Devine
was not approached and asked to with
draw, but the telegrams sent after him
(too numerously signed) to get him to
come to Omaha at the time of the Demo
cratic convention, were not a credit to
those who inspired them."
This screed induced J. A. Grimison in
your issue of the 20th of December, to
repeat, in substance, the same thing. He
said:
"It is to be feared that some of onr
nominees for office went further than the
record would warrant them In commit
ting the party to such course, and it is
to be feared that they got some very un
wise counsel from Senator Allen, to whom
they very naturally looked for guidance,
and it may be that be led them into it
without them asking for counsel.
When the Chairman of our
central committee advised someof our
people to vote for the other fellows.nomi-
nee, we thought ita new and peculiar oeai;
but we were somewhat relieved when he
announced that the bright idea was
evolved after consultation with Senator
Allen. And, while this inquiry is pro-
fressing we would like to ask how the
opulist party became sponsors at the
baptism of that hybrid off-spring, the
Wilson-Uorman edition of tne mck.ui ley
bill, minus 11 per cent, and not enough
revenue without taxing sugar? and how
many of our people beard Senator Allen
point with apparent pride to this child
of Populist production? Yes, it is about
time we took some note as to where we
are. We do know that we did not get
lost in the whirl; but we got badly broken
up. Men and brethren, we must have
better leadership or we must go it alone,
Speak out!"
Although I have never met you but
three times in my life, and not to exceed
five minutes at any time, and never to
converse with you, I have been the re
cipient of more or less unfavorable criti
cism at your hands through your paper.
I do not have the slightest objection to
just criticism, or that kind of criticism
that is based upon anything that I may
have said or done; but I do most strenu
ously object to your putting words in my
mouth to which I have nevergiven utter
ance, and predicating criticism upon
them.
In the first place I never at any time
"urged our people to fuse with the Dem-
crats," and while it is true that in a pub
lished interview last fall, I said that in
my judgment Populists should, under
certain circumstances, vote for Demo
cratic candidates for the legislature, it
was with the important condition at
tached that they should doso in districts
where there was no possibility of electing
a Populist, and where not to vote for
them, would result in the election of a
Republican. This condition you did not
notice or comment on in your editorial.
It is entirely proper for me to say to
you once and for all time that there was
no fusion planned in Washington to
which I was a party or to which any
Populist member of congress, of which I
have any knowledge, was a party. I did
not at any time converse with Mr. Tau
beneck or Mr. Bryan on the subject,
but at all times studiously refrained from
saying any thing, believing that it was
for the Populist state convention in Ne
braska to pursue such a course as it
should see fit, untrammelled by any ex
pression of opinion by me.
In a letter signed by my colleagues of
the house, Messrs. McKeighan and Kem,
and myself, July 10,1894, and published
in the World-Herald, we took occasion
to say:
"The Populist delegation in congress
from Nebraska have studiously refrained
from doing or saying anything having
the least appearance of 'Bossism' be
lieving that it is for the party in its state
convention, unprejudiced or uninfluenced
by anything that we may say or do, to
determiue what course should be pursued
this fall. We have at no tune supposed
that we had a right to participate in or
suggest fusion, or prescribe the course to
be pursued by the party. And this is
made more manifest to you when it is re
membered that we have ben removed
for so many months from our friends in
Nebraska as to be unable to form a cor
rect judgment of the situation there and
the course that ought to be adopted."
You said "not all of it was told." But
I say that not only all of it was told, but
everything that "was told" on the sub
ject, which in the slightest degree con
neeted me with any fusion scheme in
Washington or elsewhere, was inexcus
ably false, and I believe you knew 'it to
be false when you published it. You fur
ther said that "Senator Allen did his
best to carry it out here in Nebraska,
by getting "Judge Robinson, Democrat,
nominated by the Populists ot the Third
district." I said before the conventions
were Held in the Third district, of which
I think I possessed fully as accurate in
formation as you did, that in the three
cornered fight the Populists could not be
electeej. 1 call your attention to my
language appearing in a printed inter
view is the World-Herald, September 15,
1894:
"In the Third district where Hive I cer
tainly trust that there will be a coming
together of Populists and free-silver
Democrats, sufficient to elect a free-silver
successor to Meiklejobn. In this
distriet, if both Mr. Devine and Mr,
Thomas remain in the congressional race.
Mr. Msikleiohn will be re-elected. There
should be by all means a consolidation ot
tne opposition vote to defeat him.'
; I stand by this statement now; it was
true then and it is true now. It was
political suicide not to make some honest
effort to unite the opposing elements of
tne Third district. Tne election of 1892
showed the strength of thedifferentpolit
ical parties in the Third district to be Re
publican, Democrat and Populist, in the
order named. Mr. Devine was defeated
by over 2,000 more votes than Mr.
Poynter.
. I believe that the sensible thing to have
doue would have been to have united the
Populists and the silver Democrats on
some man who could have been elected,
and in saying this I do not utter one
word against Mr. Devine for whom I held
high esteem.
I have no hesitancy in sayingalso, that
I believe that Judge Robinson could have
been fleeced with the united strength
which - should have been given him.
Judge Robinson is as complete and perfect
a Populist as you are; there is no doctrine
that is advocated by tne fopulist partv.
as a party, in which he does not believe
as fully as you belfeve; and that being
the district in which 1 have lived lor a
great many years, and with which 1 am
reasonably familiar, and knowing that
it was the expressed purpose of the
American Bi-metallic League, as told me
by Mr. JDevine, its then secretary, to sup
port silver men for. congress, whether
Republicans, Democrats, or Populists, I
thought it was wise aud I still think it
would have been wise, to have united on
Judge Robinson or some other man who
could have been elected. I so expressed
myself, and still think so. I have not the
slightest apology to offer to you or any
other man for my belief, or the expres
sion of my opinion.
iou speak of my endeavoring to get
"Devine pulled off or withdrawn to ap
pease the Democrats." This statement
is incorrect. I did joiu in a telegram
with others to J. A. Grimison with a view
of getting Mr. Devine to go to Omaha to
see what could be done in the way of
uniting the anti-monopoly strength ol
the Third district on one man. I think I
was altogether right in doing so; there
was not the slightest thing in what I said
or did that will not bear the light of hon
est criticism or theclosest scrutiny.' And
just why this was not creditable to me,
or to any one else participating in it, I
do not know, nor do you say. 1 certain
ly regard it as eminently creditable
whether you do or not.
In reading your editorial through,
from which I have quoted, I am impressed
with the thought that its chief purpose
was to induce the governor to violate
his moral obligation to that part of the
Democratic party which rendered us
loyal support in the late campaign.
With the patronage of this state I have
nothing to do. It is within the exclusive
power of the governor, and I have no
doubt that he has, thus far, exercised it
wisely, and will continue to do so until
every position is filled. His is a trying
position, and he should receive the loyal
support of all Populists. But you will
permit me to say, so that you may criti
cise my views ifyou desire todo so, that in
my judgment the governor would not dis
charge his duty if he failed to recognize
in his appointments, to some extent at
least, the honorable silver-Democrats
who stood by and worked for the success
of our party from the beginning to the
closing of the campaign. Political obli
gations are as sacred as business obliga
tions and should be maintained with as
much fidelity. If I were in the place of
the governor I would go still further; I
would recognize that portion of the Re
publican party also that made it possi
ble for us to succeed.
Regarding Mr. Grimison's communica
tion I have but little to say. It is a
tissue of misstatements from beginning
to ending, in so fur as it refers to me,
and it seems to be devoted chiefly to me.
During the campaign I was assigned to
speak at Schuyler by the State Central
Committee, without my solicitation or
knowledge, but at the solicitation, as I
am informed, of many Populists residing
in Colfax county. Schuyler is the borne
of Mr. Grimison. As chairman of the
Populist party of that county, it was I
his duty to see that the meeting was
properly advertised. When I reached
(Continued on 3d page,)
. Tainted Leadership
Senator Edward Murphy, Jun., has ex
pressed the characteristic sentiment that
Senator Gorman ought to conduct ths
next national campaign for the Demo
cratic party. There is a certain grim
bnmor in this announcement, and at the
same time it has a serious side, which
most impress not only decent Democrats
bnt good citizens ot all parties. It is
grotesquely humorous that the men
whose misconduct in the Senate brought
overwhelming defeat on the Democrats
six months ago should now be talking of
the leadership of their betrayed associa
tes as if it were for them to bestow and
to claim. And yet Murphy has the un
doubted right to advise, and Gorman
has the right to expect the leadership of
the organization that has not banished
him.
These two men, as much as any two in
the country, were the objects of popular
indignation in the uprising of 1894.
Murphy whs the head of the machine
which made Hill the candidate for gov
ernor, and denied to every Democrat in
the State of New York who had an inde
pendent mind and a conscience the right
to participate in the nomination of can
didates for office. He is the man who
led the Democratic faction which held
the "snap convention" of 1892 for the
purpose of helping Hill and defeating
Cleveland, and he was defeated by the
Anti-snappers. lie predicted that Mr.
Cleveland could not carry New York, and
the people of that state stamped his pre
diction as a falsehood. He made Hill
the candidate for governor, and the
voters elected a Republican governor by
a plurality of lou.uuu and a Republican
legislature. As a Senator he has distin
guished himself by preventing the carry
ing out of his party s tariff pledges in
the interest of the manufacturers of
collars ana cuns. uuring the present
session of the legislature of New York
the majority of an investigating com
mittee, speaking with a moderation that
induces belief in its, report, has found
that the "Murphy machine" of the city
of Troy is guilty of nearly every conceiv
able offence against the elective franchise
that it has robbed citizens of their votes,
and thecommunity of its right to govern
itself, by the lowest and most brutal acts
known to the ruffians of our cities; and
that, as a crowning infamy, it is respon
sible tor the murder of a citizen who was
trying to protect the ballot-box from
pollution. This is the man and his
atmosphere the man who announces hi
favorite Democratic leader for the Presi
dential campaign of 1896; the man whom
the Democrats of the State and of the
country permit to speak with the voice
of authority.
The leader of his choice is worthy of
him. It is not many years ago when Mr.
Gorman was the local leaderin Maryland
of as vile a machine as that to which the
uarne of Murphy has been given in the
city of Troy. Between the time of hie
appearance in national politics and the
present he has been a malign iufluence in
three national campaigns. He has been
a protectionist, a truckler to bad money
sentiment, a believer in the old corrupt
practices by means of which decent Dem
ocrats in Maryland and New York have
been driven out of politics. Democrati
accused bim of treason to Mr. Cleveland
in 1888, and while such an accusation
may be unjust, there are few who believi
that he regretted the defeat of the head
of the ticket in that year. He was double-faced
in the extraordinary session of
1893, and while pretending to support
the administration, he was really for a
compromise, and very nearly caused the
defeat of the bill for unconditional repeal
of the Sherman act. He has confessed
that he made a bargain with the Louisi
ana sugar interests in the campaign of
J sua, and his devotion to that bargain
and to the Sugar Trust compelled the
wrecking of the tariff bill that went from
the House of Representatives, and which
embodied the smallest measure of reform
that the Democratic party, in view ot its
profusion of promises, owed to the
country. Both of these men' represent
the bad politicians and the bad polities
against which the country has been pro
testing with almost unprecedented ma
jorities in nearly every election, national
state or local, that has been held since
the fall of 1893. Many Democrats are so
much opposed to men like Gorman and
Murphy that they have refused to vote,
while some have manifested their dis
pleasure with the Senators who dragged
their party through the mire of the sugar
scandal by helping to elect Republican
candidates. But now these representa
cives of the kind of politics that makes
possible sugar scandals, trades with
Populists, violations of promises, Tam
many Hall, and the "Murphy machine,"
are consulting as to the leadership of a
party a majority of whose voters doubt-
ess detest them.
And yet, as we have said. Murphy and
Gorman have the right to talk of leader
ship and to expect it. Their party has
not displaced them. So strong is Murphy
in his own city of Troy that Speaker Fish,
a Republican, helps him to prevent the
reform of his corrupt police force. Not
only are Murphy, Croker and Piatt so
wholly oblivious of the verdict of the
voters of the State in the last election
that they are conspiring together to
make it come to naught, but the body of
the Democratic party has made no move
to discredit Murphy's prominence. Gor
man has been denounced in resolutions
by one Democratic convention after
another, from Massachusetts to the
west. Mass-meetings of Democratic
voters have been held in his own State in
NO. 50
which he has been condemned for what is
known in conventfon parlance as "trea
son to the party." And yet he is a mem
ber -of the Democratic National Com
mittee, and no concerted or authorita
tive effort has been made to take away
his representative character. And so
long as Murphy and Gorman have the
right to speak as representatives ot the
party, so long will the party be judged
by them. It has set up its own standard.
If it is not the true standard, it ia within
its power to change it. If it continnea to
leave to Murphy the right to recommend
Gorman tor its leader, it will remain a
Murphy and Gorman party, for which
David B. Hill, or Croker, or Gorman him
self, will be the fitting candidate in 1896.
If decent Democrats endure this leader
ship it is because they have no hope of,
obtaining anything better: and vet
decency is in the majority in the Demo
cratic party, as It is in every party in
this country, and the want of hone of
deliverance from Gorman aud Murphy
means simply supineness and indolence.
Of this the Democratic party may rest
assured, that so long as its guides and
advisers are such men as Edward Mur
phy, Jun., and Senator Gorman, so long
will disaster and defeat be its lot. Politi
cal prophecy is usually dangerous, but it
is quite safe to predict that Senator Gor
man will never again lead a party to
victory in the nation, or Senator Murphy
again conduct a successlul campaign in
the Stateof New York.-Uarper's Weekly.
Fusion the Ally or the Money Power
Shelton, Neb., May, 1895.
Editor Wealth Makers;
We endorse everything in The Wealth
Makers said by J. V. Wolfe, Senator .
Stewart, Mefferd and others regarding
the Democratic opponents of our so-called
Populist governor; and we ' would
especially commend the management of
The Wealth Makers for the noble stand
taken for principle, the people and hu
manity. Yon will surely be sustained by
all the men of principle in our party.
For the last four years the Democratic
party has systematically pursued the
same course with the Populists ot Nebr
aska t hat the Democrats of Michigan did
in 1878 with the old greenback party.
The fusion scheme has been all under-,
handed, a dark lantern performance.
In the coming convention the fusion
element in the Populist ranks will begin
the weeding out process that is, in
county and other conventions of the
Populist party tne Demo-fusion element
will undertake to see that only those
Populists are nominated who were
formerly Democrats. Then after the con
ventions the old mossback Democrat
without brains or principles enough to
conduct a campaign would say, "The
Populists are now the same as the Dem
ocrats: that is a good enough Democratic
ticket for me." The Republican stump
orator would only have to denounce fu
sion. What would be the result?
The active fighting Populists, men of '
principle, would cease work, stay at
home on election day, while many others
(raw recruits) would return to the cor-
rupt'parties of their first love; and ths
result would be, that the Republicans of
Nebraska would have their old time ma
jority. This is all coming, unless the
dark lantern performances . can ba
brought to a close.
The fusion "demo-pop" is the best ally
the money power has, the money power
will use its ally to down the two per cent
loan plank of the Omaha platform. On
free coinage 16 to 1 the middle-of-the-
road Populist seems to be on top. so
effectually has the Populist party advo
cated the free coinage of silver that the
old parties seem to be tumbling over
each other to enact that principle of the
Omaha platform into law. Surely on the
silver question the Populists have won a
good tight.
We notice a waver, though, among
some of the advocates of free coinage 10
to 1, that seems to indicate that in a
hoe down fight for free coinage a com
promise that would suit the money
power might be accepted say a ratio ot
25 or 30 of silver to 1 of gold and we
fully expect to see the howling free silver
16 to 1 Republicans and Democrats com
promise on a ratio that win suit tne
money power. In that case all legisla
tion on the finance question for the bene
fit of the people would still depend wholly
on the middle of the road Populists.
Gentlemen, stay by your colors; tight
against fusion and for two per cent gov
ernment loans to the eud. Warl war!
eternal war on those who would strike
the two per cent loan plank of the Oma
ha platform. John Stebbins.
Still Being Heard From
Bromfield, Neb., May 10, 1895.
Editor Wealth Makers:
I am a little slow in putting in my
opinion of the Bryant resolutions but
will say you can count on me asfavoring ,
them first, last and all the time, and
most of my neighbors are of the same
opinion. J. w.iiowEN.
Mr. W. A. Reese, formerly of Shenan
doah, Iowa, has been for some time pro
prietor of the Windsor stables in this city.
Mr. Reese is a very agreeable gentleman
and a good Populist.
In the short time he has owned the
Windsor stables, he has, by his own
efforts, worked up an excellent business.
We bespeak for him a liberal patronage
from "our boys" and assure them they
will be treated right.
Call on bim at 10X4 L street. i
