The Commoner,
SOME GOOD WORK BY COMMONER READERS
,F. C. Cromwell, Belle Plaine, Kansas, I be
lieve the majority of the common people arc hon
est and will cast an honest vote if they are not led
astray by radical newspapers and dishonest poli
ticians. And in order to offset this condition, the
democrats throughout the entire country should
lose no time in organizing in every precinct and
push the campaign of education by extending the
circulation of your valuable Commoner to all con
servative republicans. If -every democrat in the
United States will endeavor to secure one repub
lican vote each there will be no doubt of a demo
cratic victory; and I believe it can bo accomplished
if each subscriber to The Commoner, after read
ing his paper, will remail it to one of his conserva
tive republican neighbors who will read it care
fully at his leisure. It will put a new light in his
political thoughts and be the means of converting
him to the party which is in favor of a govern
ment of, by and for the people. I have been re
mailing my paper to one of my republican friends
and I am confident it is bearing fruit. I have five
names as follows to whom I wish your Commoner
mailed, for which find check for $3.00. It will
only cost a small pittance for every subscriber to
have one or more, copies sent to some republican
neighbor stating that it is paid for for one year,
and we will reap our reward when they cast their
votes in 1908 for the democratic ticket. I wish you
a happy and. prosperous New .Year.
Thos. A. Frazier,t Butler, Pa. I enclose here
with a list of thirty-one subscribers for your paper
with remittance $18.60, which includes a number
of old ones, the majority, however, being new sub
scribers. The Commoner has been effective in
making converts to our party and among the list
are a number of republicans. The postoffice ad
dresses are given with the-following list. I started
out this morning and succeeded without effort in
getting this list- and will endeavor to send you
more in the future.

THINK OVER IT "UNCLE JOE"
Even the Milwaukee Sentinel sees a light.
While admitting that "a consensus of republican
opinion stands Arm for the protective principle,"
the Sentinel adds: "The consensus of republican
opinion also is that some of the present rates are
too high, and that It is time to think seriously
about revision and readjustment, as a measure not
only of good business but of good politics. The
dual tariff will remain in the cloudland of acade
mic discussion for a long time to come. The old
American system revised and brought up to date
would probably suit every occasion and aspiration
of'our business world. Standing pat on protection
is alii right, Standing pat on superannuated and'
dubious schedules is not all right. It is not the
republican revisionists, but the bigots and bour
bons,', who endanger the integrity of the American
protective .system."
The Milwaukee Sentinel is a stalwart repub
lican organ, and by some it ia called a "machine
oran." Its frank statement has given Speaker
Cannon something to think about. " .
