A Dreamer And A Dreum
'We sit', in a boundless phan
tasmagcsia and dream grotto.
. but him, the unslumbering, :
vhcse work both dream and,
dreamer are, we see not except in
rare half-waking moments, sus
pect not." Thomas Carlyle in
Sartor Resartus.
Editor Independent: I have this
day read a dream which was published
to the world forty years ago, by. A. J,
Davis in a little book, entitled "The
Fountain with Jets of New Meanings."
And ray astonishment is almost be
yond bounds to know that forty years
ago it was made plain, to the world,
and yet it requires Colorado's strike
and Carlyle's death, and ? ? ? else I
don't know to open the eyes of the
dreaming so they can see the truth.
How blind is the world today a3.it
Bits in Carlyle's boundless dream
rrotto. How true it seldom "suspects''
the imKlumberinfc Creator has planned
its destiny and has also proclaimed
'the final result of that plan to the
world shall be that His children shall
be ree , -
Here is the dream:
.The dreamer happened to be awake
when he dreamed it. , . -
How many who read it here will
be "half-waking" enough to even
:' "susDect" the near accomplishment' of
the righteous decree of the brother
hood of all men. v ,
. "At present" (O, reader, that was
forty years ago) "we can behold, as a

say, the 'protoplasm,' merely of a
future great nation. (And I will add,
whose beautiful red flag shall be a
standard forever of the love and kin
ship of all peoples) The signs
of a war of races in America have
given place to premonitory symptoms
of a wondrous blending of different
physiological elements, and different
social, moral and intellectual trails
into an Americanade, which is filled to
the brim with executive inspirations
"t a compound absolutely dripping over
with infallible, prophesies of a type,
which shall bloom with perennial vir
tues, and bear the fruits of righteous
ness, progress, liberty and spiritual
ity." (And, Mr. Editor, I believe the bru
talities of the bull pen and the mas
querading of the militia are now with
in reach of our short range guns the
ballots of one day while Mr. Davis
couM only reach them with a' 40-year
pom-pom.)
- "The nationoidal condition of Amer
ica, or rather the humanoidal stage of
Anglo-Americans, will account for
much of the popular transgressions of
the laws of peace, justice, and wis
dom. The bottom laws of society are
atrociously violated by both church
and government. Native roots, the
Indians for example, are plowed up
and thrown into the sea. Christians,
so-called, commit this unrivalled in-
iouity. through the enginery of gov-
ernment . which rests upon the army
and naw. But the punishment for
such transgressions is hastening with
: lightning speed, (l orking i-inpino3

Under the dale of August 3, the fol
lowing dispatch was sent from New
wil-JYork by the Associated Press but it
was not put on the wires of the we3t
ern circuit:
J Populists from several slates met
at the St. Denis hotel tonight, and
conferred with democrats who are
opposed to Judge Parker. The meet
Jng was called by James II. Ferris of
Illinois, chairman of the popuhbt par
ty. ws attended by J. A. Kdger
n. New Jersey; George F. Wa.xh
urn l1 MaMsacnuMeus; jay w. ror

of New York; Durbln Van Vleck, It. V.
llngersoll, Gustavo W, Thomson of
Urouuiyn. ana eeverai oineis from
I New ork city and Urook.yn.
"The objwt of the meeting was to
confer with men who have acted with
the democratic party, but who are not
Inclined, to iu;;Mirt th ticket duilng
thin vampalgn. It wa aluo for the
purpoM of arranging for the i.otinra
tion cerentontea of the ropullit nom
inees It was decided that the notifi
cation fthould take place Jn t'uoptr
Union, thU city, about Re Xhtb it
August. Members of the populist par
ty met Thomas Watson, the. presiden
tial, nominee, who is nowin the city,
but hewas not ready-to fix the exact
date at present. The arrangements
will be in charge of Mr. Forrest.
"Reports were made from different
states cocerning the efforts being made
to co-operate with dissatisfied demo
crats and. it was stated that in a num
ber of communities , democrats were
willing Lo support Watson electors,
but desired to vote their own state
ticket. Mr. Van Vleck, who is presi
dent of the radical democracy, ex
plained the presence of himself and
friends."
Populism in Rhode Island
Even down in Rhode Island, owned
as' it is body and soul by the tariff
grafters and banks, they begin to fear
the populist revival. , The Evtnihu
Bulletin of Providence says;
"Although Mr. Bryan has accepted
the verdict of the convention he has
done so rather sullenly,' and it is by no
means certain that all his; followers
will do so. 'As in 18D2.-three is a
populist candidate, and It Is possible
that Watson may get as many elector
al votes as Weaver. Mr., Cleveland's
majority at that time, it is true, was
not imperilled by this "defection; but
that Judge Parker has his" strength is
a mere assumption. Generally speak
ing, the populist candidacy may bo. ex
pected to affect Judge Par kers chances
rather than Mr. Roosevelt's."
New York Populists
following is the Associated
The
Press dispatch concerning the organi
zation of the" populist party in New
York and which, was blue penciled by
every daily in the west, but. which ap
peared in all the New York and east
ern papers under the date of July 16:
"The radical and anti-Hill element
up the state are going to oppose Par
ker. The people's party in 1892 polled
more than 16,000 votes in the state of
New York for Weaver, their candi
date. In . 1896, - they fused with the
democratic . party, but polled nearly
7,000 votes for Watson, the candidate
on their ticket for vice preslderiL The
entire strength of ; the people's party
was thus x thrown to Bryan, and be
came a part of the democratic pai ty.
"It is. now well assured that this
element will break away, and in con
nection with the anti-Hill element up
the state will refuse to support Judge
Parker, The candidate of the - peo
ple's party, Thomas Watson of Geor
gia when a candidate on the . ticket
in 1896, with Bryan, polled upward
of 1,500,000 votes in tne country. The
managers of the people's 'party in the
coming election cinfidently expect this
vole will, be largely increased; ' ;
"For the . purpose of making ' an ag
gressive campaign in this state, there
by preventing-the carrying of the
state by Judge Parker the people's
party expects to inform Mr. Watson
and Mr. Tibbies, their candidates, of
their nomination at Cooper Union in
August." Arrangements1 -have been
completed by which the people's paity
candidates will appear on the, official
ballot, and a full state ticket will be
nominated. An aggressive campaign
will be waged throughout the state.
The effect of this, according to the
party's leaders, 'unquestionably will be
the defection from Judge Parker , of
many thousand votes whir:h in 1896
and 1900 were cast for Bryan."
J. A. Weatherall, Miles Station, Tox.,
writes that he is greatly pleased with
the outlook.
Tom Watson Democrats
A dispatch from Emporia state3 that
the old-line populists and democrats
of Lyon county have started an autl
Parker, or, rather, a Tom Watson,
movement In that county and the
Fourth congressional district. They
will carry the anti-Parker fight down
to county politics. It la Watson all
along the line with both democints
and populists in Lyon county. A con
grcesional convention will be called at
some time and place where Parker
democrats can not Interfere, and s
candidate for congress for the Wat
non crowd will bo named. This move
ment l likely to spread all over the
state. W. O. Charope In Kansas Agt

A Grand Oppcrtoalty
Never Ik fure In the history of Ann r
ban politic has the otirtunity been
offered to any party that U now
tended to populism to espotiK the
caune f the common people.
Klftht yran ago the popultit party
with lt bold l-a fur Jutlc? a the
bread dinner, had auiumed formidable
prwjurtlone. Tho came lt tempo
rary. collapse froman over-confiding
repose in the fatal andwitherhig em
brace of the democratic party.
But,
while stealing -populist planks, the
democratic party could not " steal.
enough populist, votes to win. '
With a vacillation and Insincerity,
capable only to the democracy, that
party has now. completely reversed
Itself, and in its haste to secure the
support of- capitalism and a large
campaign slash-fund It , out-Hannas,
the republicans, and even goes further
and lends its silent consent, to asset
currency; that - capitalistic plot to . en
slave the people as never before.
It is trying to . outbid :the reyublir
cans for plutocracy's favors. .
-We here repeat, Opportunity new
knocks at the door of populism.
Will we answer the call? Populists,
t is up to you. Let every true man
start in with an energy before un
equaled, and we will roll up a vote In
November that will shake the. old
parties from foundation to flag-staff.
For the populist party is now the
only party that stoops so low as" to
appeal to the common people. Col

What "Standard Oil" Means
There are eiehrT distinct grours of
ndividuals and corporations which go
to make up the big "Standard Oil."
First The Standard " Oil, - seller of
oil to the people, which -is" made up '
of many subcorporations by actual -
ownership or by ownership of their
stock or , bonds. Probably no person
other than Henry II. Rogers, William
tockefeller. and John D. Rockefeller
knows exactly what the assets of the
standard Oil corporation are, al
though John D. Rockefeller jr., son of
John D. Rockefeller, and William G.
Rockefeller, the able and excellent
business son of William Rockefeller
and Tthe probable future head of
'Standard Oil,' are being rapidly edu
cated o this great secret.
Second Henry II. Rogeis, William
lockefeller and John D. Rockefeller,
active heads, and included with them
their sons.
Third A large group of active cap
tains and first lieutenants, men who
conduct the affairs of the different
corporations or sections of corpora
tions in which some or all of the
"stnnrijiri nil" are interested.
Vniirth A larce group of captains
retired from active, service ., in, the
Standard Oil army, who only parti
cipate in a feneral way. in, the man
si!?ement of its affairs: and whose prin
cipal : business ' -Is " looking after their
investments. These men are each
wnrtK;from 5.000.000 or $10,000,000 to
$50,000,000 or $75,000,000. The Faynes
and the.Flaglers.are fair illustrations
of this group.
pifth The estates of deceased mem-
hPt nf this wonderful '.'Standard Oil"
family, which .are largely controlled
by. some or all of; the : prominent
Standard Oil. ' men.. . '- -
Sixth "Standard Oil" banks and
banking institutions, and the sys
tem" of national banks, trus.t com-
naniPK and insurance companies, of
which the 'Standard Oil" has by own
ership and otherwise IpractiSaliy abso
lute control. The, head of this, group
.Tames ytillman. ana u is wnen mey
are called-into play in connect'ou with
"Standard Oil" business. that he is one
of thei Standard Oil leadersJ second to
neither Mr. Rogers nor euuer i uju
Rockefellers. : " . -
Spventh The "Standard .Oil" army
nf followers, capitalists:: and workers
in all parts of theworldj, men who
never require anything more tnan me
order. "Go- i ahead," "Fun on,
Knv " "Sell." or 'Stay vhere .. you
are," to vender as absolute obedience
and enthusiastic co-operation as
thnneh thev knew to the smallest de
tail the purposes which entered into
the giving of the order. .
Elehth The countless hordes of pol
iticians, statesmen .lawmakers and
enforcers, who, at-home or as repie
sentativca of the nation abroad, go
to make up our political Btructure,
and Judges and lawyers.
All these groups of men are sup
porting Parker and they hope with
the aid of W. J. Bryan that they cau
elect him.
Hurrah for the, two
Toms Tom Watson and
Tom Tlbbles-by sending:
