(Mr. Hanlv's "idea" seems nrimar- lly to get a little free advertising for himself and his real estate business. Well, The Independent is independent enough to Indulge him thfs once. Mir.

Union, Union, Union Editor Independent: I am srivinar the three papers vou sent me a vrv close and interested reading. I have been talking with ex-populists, learned something of your policy. You ara on the road leading to the right track, if you will only proceed. You show up the injustice v of our present ad ministration in glaring terms. You appear to have a heart of humanity in your bosom that yearns for the re lief of suffering humanitv. Th t- populists here tell me that when thev espoused populistic ideas they looked for relief, but saw the giant, popul ism, aie. borne ot them are mourn ing and refuse to be comforted, oth ers have allied themselves with other political families. Look back and in your Imagination, see the healthy, robust, beautiful pop ulistic "babe." It grew to manhood, went to our capitol, but was theia handicapped for lack of company. Lived a few years and died. Now why try the physiological feat of re surrection? If you bring it to life it will only die again. It must starve. There is not room for such a large family of political children. There la only air enough allowed to aeriate the vital fluid in a healthjr conditioa of two parties. In your mind's eye look down into November,, 1904, and witness the large family of politicians asking admittance, knowing that only two healthy ones will be admitted. Why be so foolhardy as to struggle on to certain defeat In union ther i is strength! With republicans in the lead, then socialism followed by dem ocracy,, populism. prohibition!::,,, greenbackers, gold democrats am perhaps a few more parties that will rise up. It is plain to be seen, that the dissentions and wrangling out side of the republican, party will givo the republicans their desired victory. xou are wielding a powerful weapon for victory if you will change your tactics. Unite with the largest po litical body now that advocates the principles almost identical with yours. If you are honest in endeavoring to upbuild the human race there Is no other alternative. You have the fixed attention of thousands of ex-populisU that have never grasped the situation that be a platform ever so far-reaching toward giving the greatest gbod t the greatest number, it will never bo of effect unless sustained by the ma jority vote. You may succeed in ral lying thousands of ex-populists around the old standard, while you are da ing that, the democrats are concen trating their numbers. The socialists are drawing from the- republicans, democrats, prohibitionists and eouni ing their recruits by the thousands. With five or six political parties in the arena the republicans will havs another "walk away" equal to No vemler, 1902. I think the republican victory of the 1002 election waa attributable to the socialist migration from the dem-' ocratic party and by one. party con tinually weakening another, the stai warts will keep in power. Our past history shows us the unreliability of trusting an . elected few to make or administer laws. When the laws caa be made and administered by the voice of the people we win efficiency of legal enactments.. I can not learn by your policy that you ad vocate only a partial reform. If oth-' erwlse, why not unite fnrof with party that demands a radical reform? A government that would control the iana ana all the utilities. It can be made a more successful success nivm. erly managed than the partially auc- ceBsiiu enterprises: eapltalistkally hampered now. I have the best of eood will toward any party that advocates alleviation from the slavery and extortion that the proletariat is groaning under now. I admire the effort of reform narHowi endeavoring to peacefully secure ttif wu-given-ngnts oi the soil and its productions to supply happy homes mica, wun educated, families unre strained by selfish plutocratic oppres sion. To secure freedom by ballot too ""wise man changes his mind often, a fool never." I was once a repub lican, about forty times a democrat and all I ever received for howling was a set of sore bronchial ore-ana t am now allied to a party that his given me priceless benefits in the form of logic. I use4t in my financial af fairs, in my arguments, while visit ing, in my future prospects. The mora used the brighter and more efficacious It becomes. - - Since writing the above I received another copy of your valuable paper. I do admire the strike you are mak ing for justice. But the National Economic league has attacked its greatest foe, socialism. For the gool there i3 in socialism, you and all oth er reform parties come to the rescue. Nothing will give the league mow strength than division of the reform ers! Notice the "people's rule" in Massachusetts urging reform, but what can it do alone? It takes a very brave man to shift when he position, though won by strenuous ef fort ,appear untenable; why not all join the populists? The N. E. I would all skin their throat ing that they intimidated the social ists, une vietory they could claim. Now why not help defend th HtaHei they have attacked? Yon never wnitld . belittle yourself an atom! It would produce unspeakable consternation in the ranks of the N. E, L. to read that all reform parties had loined. n-.xf this is enough.
