To populists. -You are urged to be present at the Central Committee rooms on Saturday, March 5th, at 1:30 p. m. sharp. Your presence is needed and desired.

A reorganization will be made. Come and help. COMMITTEE. A HAY trust is being formed in Chicago. How will that effect the fellows who raise hay? WHEN you see a statement of an advance in wages, look around and yon'll also see an advance in labor's product.

Who gets the difference! THAT financial question has made a good many people ridiculous. For instance, some of the soldiers kicked against free coinage because it would put up the price of wheat, they said, and make bread dear and curtail their pension money Free silver didn't come, high -pried wheat has, and flour has advanced, but the pensioner isn't -Wichita Eagle. THE republican press havs made all manner of fun at the populist legislatiors but their laws are held to be constitutional in the higher courts and are in demand elsewhere, evidenced by this dispatch from Topeka under a recent date. It says: "Kansas is acquiring great reputation abroad for the character of the laws it put upon its statute books last winter. Representative Ray, of Iowa, will present in the legislature of that state for adoption the Kansas text book law and will arrive here in a few days to gather information in support of it.

A letter was received from the state department of Mississippi today requesting a copy of the law, with an explanatory note which indicated that the legislature of that state would adopt a bill along the same lines. Ohio representatives have also written for a copy of the law and Texas already adopted it. Every legislature now in session in the United States has written to Kansas for one or more of its 1897 laws." -Newton Journal. WAGEWORKERS and SLAVERY When the New York World says that the condition of the New Bed. ford cotton spinners is worse than was the condition of negro slaves, it brings a fearful indictment against those responsible for this state of affairs.

But the World is not satisfied with the mere statement. It proves it. It demonstrates the truth of its assertion by interviews with a former slave and with a man who once owned slaves, and in an editorial commeat says: say that the negro slave better fed, better housed, more lightly worked and better cared for than these mill hands are, besides the certainty he had that in old age or illness he would be fed, clothed, housed, doctored and nursed, where the mill hand has only charity to depend upon for these benefits. "So both the ex-slave and ex-slave owner conclude that the conditions at New Bedford are "worse than slavery." And yet New England was the loudest and fiercest protestant against the system which made the ownership of human chattels possible. There is a problem presented to the philanthropic and intelligent people of New England which demands their earnest attention.

Indeed, the problem is not one alone for the east to consider. It is as broad as the whole country. However, the discussion of this question is forced on New England by the events of today. When of her citizens are struggling for the maintaining of a miserable wage of $6 a week, and her rich manufacturers are fighting to cut that wage down by a 10 per cent. reduction, the matter will not down.

nor can its consideration be thrust aside. Freedom is a noble thing. It is the thing for which the founders of this republic fought and died. but are not the owners of money making the word freedom meaningless? The philanthropists of New England and the starving wage workers should get together and discuss the question. Dispatch.

SLEEPING ON THE VOLCANO. The human race has often slept peacefully and serenely over 8 volcano. History shows too, that the ones who were long. headed enough to see the crisis ahead were ridiculed, vilified and not believed. Our own country furnishes good illustrations of this fact.

During antirevolutionary days when the storm was gathering and Adams, Henry, Otis and others were warning the pecple they were abused and mistreated. Their lives were in danger. Again, before the civil war, the people would not believe that they were soon to be plunged into a conflict that would threaten the life of the nation and would require. the llves of 500,000 men to settle. To day, the people witness the aggressions of powerful trusts, the buying of seats in legislative halls, laws made for the few, their rights bartered away for political advantage and only a few raise their voices in opposition.

Others cry, Calamity, disturbers etc, but the storm is coming nevertheless. What is needed these days, is some emergency that will arouse a sleeping people. When such an emergency comes, it will be too late, for the people will awaken to the sound of instruments of war. The time for intelligent and patriotic, action is now. We would that it were possible to avert the storm which is surely coming, but our interpretation of human nature and history tells us that it is not.

The best we can do is to prepare as many as possible for the shock, when it does come. WHAT THE TARIFF DOES? Gradually the people are beginning to find out why the tariff law was passed. It was not passed to secure revenue nor was it passed to improve the condition of the wageworkers. It was passed to protect trusts. Its operations have increased the profits of all the great combines of this country and have caused a vast number of new combines to be formed, At the same time, and as a consequence, the cost of living has been increased.

the trusts being placed in a position to charge consumers more for the necessities of life. That little differential on sugar alone costs the American people 000,000 a year. The treasury does not get one cent out of this vast tax on the consumer. The workingmen see their wages reduced and the trust puts the $20,000,000 in its pocket and insolently demands: "What are you going to do about it Such opposition cannot go on forever. It was made possible by fraud, intimidation and misrepresentation.

All these forces are now recognized by the masses, and there is going to be such a revolution in 1900 that the trusts will have. no occasion to ask: "What are you going to do about it This question will be answered at the ballot box by an outraged and indignant people.
