ed : government issue and control of mon
ey, land, transportation and communica
tion. All of these questions are vital.
They belong to the present and,must be
settled in the near future or government by
and of the people will be a failure. When
the populists abandoned their vital ques
tions and fused with democracy on free sil
ver, 16 to 1, they abandoned every claim of
a progressive party. They joined the forces
of retrogression. They turned their faces
from the light. They cried for the good old
times past and never to return again Is it
any wonder that defeat was the result?
The republican party presents to us the
principle of centralization, of order and
system. It is the creature of trusts and
corporations—in fact they arc the govern
ment. It is not necessary to produce any
proof to sustain this assertion. Every in
telligent man knows.’this to be true. They
furnished the twenty million corruption
fund to bribe, coerce and corrupt the
voters.
The people in their unorganized capacity
must learn from the corporations the pow
er of centralization, of order, system and
precision,
It is a fact in economic science that the
whole control of an article of production
can be carried on with less expense to the
producer , and consumer.
Our trusts and corporations give us a
splendid objeot lesson. The coal oil, su
gar, leather and money trusts, and some
three hundred more or less in the United
States are operating on this principle. Ten
thousand individuals separately engaged
in the'eoal oil manufactory could not pro
duce coal oil as cheap as John Rockefeller.
If they . could the jioal oil trust would be
broken up. But thu.trust operates with
less expense and destroys all small com
petitors. All other corporations and large
combinations' of capital operate on this
principle. The merchants of our towns
will in the near future be treated to a dose
of centralization. Department stores in
every.town will do'the business and weed
out the small seller of goods. The day of
small things is past, the era of large com
binations is at hand. Will the people heed
this lesson? The late success of the repub
lican party has accelerated this day, and
competition within the next four years
will be almost destroyed.
The R ecord calls the attention of
the voters of Jackson county to
the promises of the populist party
before election. A reduction in the sal
aries of our officials wae demanded, so they
would correspond more equally with the
price of labor and the products of the farm
Of course all this is forgotten now. Politic
al parties have need only for a platform to
btantj on till after election.
When their expectations are realized they
consider the promises of the platform glit
tering generalities, an “irridescent dream”
and drop into “inocuous desuetude." I
have come to the conclusion that so long as
the present commercial system is in exist
ence, which has for its motto, “Everybody
for himself and the devil take the hider-
most,” which makes existence a struggle
and the future uncertain, mankind will
strain their conscience to get bold of the
root of all eyil, for a rainy day. So long as
this strife continues political parties will be
permeated with this condition.
Republican, democratic and populist
parties are subject to this condition, no
matter what promises their platforms con
tain, consequently I look with charity on
the unfulfilled promises of the populist
party.

In the last 22 mouths Spain has sent
to Cuba 180,060 troops. She always has
about 20,000 soldiers regularly station
ed there. All the Cubans she could get
held of have bee.u forced into tho Span
ish army. It is not possible to ascertain
the number of these, but beyond a doubt
Spain has had at her command as many
as 210,000 soldiers to suppress a rebel
lion in an island with a population of
cd I j 2,000,000. She has failed to get a
foreign lean. Her prime minister has
turned to the p< epic of Spain, saying
Xhat ho must and will squeeze out of
them the millions y et necessary toerush
the rebellion. Iu 1896 the recruits sent
to Cuba have been obtained only by con
scription. Next year it will be worse.
There will he few rchliersand no money
at all, for the impoverished inhabitants
of Spain can furnish no money where
there is nona. The rebellion in tha Phil
ippines is not yet extinguished. Miser
able, indeed, is the proud eld monarchy.
The Cuban patriots meanwhile have
been growing only Strenger. Without
money in the 1c.ginning, they have as
much now’ as they bad then. They have
also thousands cf stimus of arias and
guns that they h;d i.i t then. The popu
lation of the island outride of Havana
is warmly with the rtlcl leaders. If
more soldiers are uieded than are wil
ling to volunteer in the patriot army,
they can bo had in plenty by drafting
them.
The wife of Mr. Leonard Wells, of
East Brimfield, Mass., bad been suffering
from neuralgia for two days, not being
able to sleep or hardly keep still, when
Mr. Holden, the merchant there, sent
her a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm,
and asked that she give it a thorough
trial. On meeting Mr. Wells the next
day he was told that she was all right,
the pain had left her within two hours,
and that the bottle of Pain Balm was
worth $5.00 if it could not be had for less
