To every sovereign of the grand
old volunteer state we call attention
to a clipping from the Chicago Daily
Press, a dispatch from Wnll street;
dated March 21, 18J2, in which they
instruct their cohorts and henchmen
in the following language, Wall
street's edict: '
We must proceed with caution
and guard well every move made, for
the lower , orders of the people are
already showing signs of restless
commotion. Prudence will therefore
dictate a policy of apparent yielding
to the popular will until all of our
plans are so far consummated that we
can declare our designs without fear
of any organized resistance.
"The Farmers Alliance and Knights
of Labor organizations in the United
States should be carefully watched by
our trusted men. and we must take
immediate steps to either control these
organizations in our interest or dis
rupt them at the Omaha convention
on July 4th. Our men must attend
and direct it 3 movements, else there
will be set on foot such an antagon
ism to our designs as may require
force to overcome; this at the present
time would be premature, we are not
yet ready for such a crisis, capital
must protect itself in every possible
manner through combination and leg
islation, the courts must bo called to
our aid, debts must be collected, bonds
and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly
as possible, when through process of
law the common people have lost
their homes they will be more tract
able and easily governed."
This clipping says again, ' History
repeats itself, in regular circles this
is truth. It is well known among bur
principle men now engaged In form
ing an imperialism of capital to gov
ern the world. While they are doing
this the people must bo kept in a con
dition of political antagonism." The
question of tariff reform must be
Urged through the organization
known as the Democratic party, and
questions of protection with reciproci
ty must be forced to public view
through the Republican party. By
thus dividing the voters we can get
them to expend their energies in
fighting each other over questions of
no importance except as tethers to
lead the common herd. Thus by dis
creet action we can secure all that
has been so generously planned and
thus far successfully accomplished."
Now, Brother Reformer of Tenn-;
essce, writes George V. I-'rey in the
Toiler, what do you think as a free
born American citizen? It makes the
blood run chill in my veins and draws
out every fiber of my manhood and
patriotism to its utmost tension. It
calls to my mind the prophesy of Lin
coln and makes me bolicve with Jef
ferson that f banking corporations are
more dangerous and a greater menace
to American free institutions than
standing armies.
With the legal element fighting us
as a unit, with hardly a Democrat or
Republican in congress or the senate
but represents some gigantic corpora
tion, hounded down by European aris
tocracy, bound with relentless man
acles to a single gold standard, im
ported bibles taxed ICO per cent with
playing cards free of duty, Cleveland,
the stuffed prophet of Wall street and
avowed enemy to free silver fired at
j Pete Turney lease ring and rail
road hack line politician. But you
can't vote, Mr. Allianceman. unless
you pledge yourself to support the
nominee. All this is Democracy.

Then brethren, what is the duty of
the hour in this latter part of the lSth
century! . . .
I cast my lot with the People's
party. Live or die. sinic or swim, I

Johnsons, Lin coin from the pine
clad hills of frigid Maine to the t.'oral
shores of torrid Florida the gladsome
cry is heard that 'the dead is alive
and the lost is found,' and prodigals
are coming home to the People's
party.
. let us then be up and doing, with a
heart for any fate, still achieving,
still pursuing, learn to labor and to
wait. When the ides of November
approach let us rally as one man to
the standard of justice, and reiolve,
come what may. to cast our ballot for
home and fireside; for God and human
ity, for our cherished liberties, bought
with the price of patriot's blooJ, and
transmitted to us a sacred trust.
Thus imbued with that humanitarian
spirit of Patrick Henry, give me lib
erty or give me death.
Remember our ancestors waded
blood to secure to us the blessings of
liberty. If we have not manhood to
go where duty calls against a world
in arms wo ought to be slaves.
That'll What's Iho Matter.
The money of the rich will buy
more than twice as much of the
necessities of life as it would twenty
five years ago. The products of the
labor of the poor will not sell for one
half as much money as they would
then. This is the inequality, the
burden of which the people aro complaining.
People's Party Paper: The one
thing that harrows the souls of the
plates, is the heaven inspired truth
declared in the platform of the Omaha
convention that, "If any will not
work noither shall he eat. " The
justice of this declaration U so appar
ent and so much in conformity with
the decree of Gol, "In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat bread." that
it is frightening the soft-handed
plutes out of their wits. Let us stick
to the text.
HORSES.
Some Peculiarities Connected With One of
the Noblest of Animals.
In that portion of Genesis which
tells the story of Joseph, the famine,
etc., we find the first historical alius -ion
to the horse, and further on in
Holy Writ we read of the horses of tho
great and wise Solomon, which num
bered 40, 000 that is if the 40,000
stalls for horses are to be taken as a
criterion. Prior to 1066 the horses of
England were never shod, William
the Conquerer being the person who
is given the credit of introducing
horseshoeing into the British Isles.
The high state officials and the rich
people of Egypt have a peculiar aver
sion to riding the horse, their favorite
mount being a species of white ass,
which is held as being a semi-sacred
animal. Fine specimens of those
6now-white creatures are seldom sold
for what would bo less than $1, 000 in
United States currency.
Tho Tartars have a species of hair
less horses, which all have beautifully
6triped white-and-brown hoofs and
"glass eyes. " Pliny the Elder men
tions a breed of horses 'from a land
far to tho north of Lybia" which was
distinguished on account of a woolly
mane which oxtondod from between
tho ears to tho root of the tail!
Henry VIII. put a stop to tho rais
ing of inferior horses in England by
having all slaughtered that were un
der 13 hands high at the age of 5
years.
In Japan the man of quality"
never forces his stoed out of a walk;
if the errand is one which demands
speed the, rider dismounts, ties the
fore logs of his animal together anJ
etrikes off at a brisk gallop on foot.
