regular annual subscription prlcos

ojtur lu untu uuiiuui auuscripuons
tor tnoir own paper togetnor with
Tho Commoner,
rolativo to tho saloon intorcata spoils
what would othcrwlso boon a mas
terpiece. Tho saloon Is tho moat
potent causo of political corruption
with which tho people have to deal.
The saloon, having no morals and no
soul, has no political convictions, ox
copt to servo them who servo It. Its
life depends on its power to debauch
tho people. Tho saloon breeds moral
depravity and political honesty can
not obtain whore it is able to dictate
in the selection of our public officials.
On this question, as on all other
questions, Mr. Bryan Is everlastingly
right.
J. H. Trimble, Moore, Okla. It
Is because they vote wrong. They
do rule, and they get what they vote
for. They get It in the neck. Taft
ism, Cannonlsm and Aldrichism with
tho tariff and empty dinner pails.
G. S. Barnes, Los Angeles, Cal.
On account of selfishness in human
nature. The man with a flock of
sheep stands in with tho man with
a lemon grove; each submit to pay
ing a tax or excessive price for the
other's product. That they both may
rob tho man who has neither sheep
or lemon grove. And this is only an
illustration it may be passed down
tho -lino on all articles protected.
Whenever all men will look at these
things through unselfish eyes, viz.,
the greatest good to the greatest
number regardless of their own sel
fish interests we shall get What is
best for the whole people. But first
each must learn to be unselfish and
look to the good of the greatest
number. I never voted for but one
democrat for president, and voted for
him three times and hope for another
opportunity.
J. L. Bird, San Antonio, Texas.
The people do not rule; so therefore
it is superfluous to argue the ques
tion, "why don't they get what they
want?" It seems to me that the
real live question is, why don't the
people rule and the answer should
be, because they are divided against
themselves in a great measure by the
force of party name. If the progres
sives of all parties could be mar
shalled under one banner, and there
by induced to vote for their real in
terest, then the people would rule,
and no mistake, and the leader that
can accomplish- this will be hailed
as a Jefferson or Lincoln; but I fear
it will have to be done through a
new party, as the "interests" seem
to have a "strangle hold" on both
old parties, the people's will is
thwarted in almost every instance,
and they need but little more ex
perience and education to cause them
to leave tho power in both old
parties, that controls their policies,
without a following. The laboring
and producing masses must get to
gether before they can even hope to
rule, and thereby get what they want.
,1. H. Whitlock, Plains, Kansas.
I don't think they do, judging from
the high cost of living, for no per
son would force upon himself know
ingly and willingly conditions that
would compel him to pay double for
tho necessaries of life. Some men
vote to hold tho job they have got,
and others vote to get the job they
have been promised, and they do this
with a promise also from the agents
of the special-interests that the cost
of living will be reduced, in whicli
cose the specials have failed to keep
their promise. In fact they never
intended to. A few more years of
Itooseveltism and Taftism and Can
nonlsm, and 'the present tariff law
and tho United States government
will be ready for the junk pile. What
we need at the head of the govern
ment is-men likeW. J. Bryoni and
Henry T. Rainey and Champ Clark;
then the people would rule.
