- THE DANGEROUS CLASSES.
Haw Tbey Ar " Composed and What
Tbey Threaten la the United Stats.
Thb'-two dangerous classes in the
United States today are the men who
buy votes and-the men who sell them.
It is a custom, shameful though it may
be, to bny and sell votes at election
time.." This statement is neither colored
or exaggerated..
It sends a dagger into cue's heart to
tven contemplate it
Laboring men see no light ahead. ,
It is all class legislation in favor of
the rich against the poor.
And then the devil steps in with
twenty-five dollars in hand and says.
"Take this money and cast your vote for
this or that canuidate.
More than two-thirds of the people of
the United States are without a home
and a man without a home is without
patriotism. What matters it to him
what becomes of his country? If bis
country affords him no home why should
he love or defend his country? If. in the
bitterness of his heart, he says, as did
Philip Nolan, "Damn tho United States!"
who shall blame him?
Without home, without property,
without a country, without honor, with
out principle, they fall easy victims to
the political panderers who offer them
money for their votes.
It is, indeed, a dark picture, a horrible
picture.
It makes one heartsick to think of it.
And the worst is yet to come.
In a short time the same men who are
now buying votes will some, day saize
the government and put muskets into
the hands of the men whose votes they
are now buying, and at the point of the
bayonet suppress free speech, free press
and even the ballot box.
The few will plunder and rob the peo
ple, and then with the plunder thus
gained maintain an army to protect
themselves in the possession of their ill
gotten gains.
England hires Irish soldiers to crash
the people of Russia.
There has been money enough stolen
from the American people within the
last twenty years to arm and equip a
standing army large enough to keep in
subjection the people of the United
States.
And there are men enough who can be
hired, to "shoulder musk eta" for that
very purpose.
The men who bny votes aro the men
who. would usurp and overthrow the
government, and the men who sell their
votes are the men who would act as
soldiers. . - .. -
. These two classes constitute the dan
gerous classes.
They represent the extremes of so
cietythe enormously rich and the mon
strously pcor, the unprincipled aristo
crat of wealth and the depraved pauper.

nomination at the Holton convention.
placed the name of bis opponent in
nomination for congressman at large.
His speech was a taking one. He point
ed to his empty sleeve and told how he
had lost it in' the defense of the flag
which he had close at baud and pointed I
to. Then he told of tho valor of Colonel
Harris as a Confederate soldier and said
that it was time the boys who wore the
blue and the gray should shake hands
across the bloody chasm. j
- The sentiment spread like wildfire,
and old soldiers with Grand Army badges
claimed the right to second his nomina
tion. The enthusiasm spread, the stars
and stripes were waved and a motidh to
make the . nomination by acclamation
took so well that the friends of other
candidates did not oppose it. All the ex
cnioq soldiers among the delegates who
desired to second Colonel Harris nomi
nation were requested to rise and .be
counted.
; The secretary announced tho result as
SC4. Every veteran in the convention.
every old soldier in the house seemed to
want to tell his war' record and how
friendly he felt for tbe ex-Confederates.
When tbey had talked themselves out
the motion to nominate Colonel Harris
by acclamation was put. a rising vote
taken and every man in the house was
up and cheering in an instant cheering,

Ac He Also Pays' His IlcnpccU to
the Mouthpieces of the Bhylochs. '
Some time since Tbe Railway Ago
published two 'addresses, one by L. S.
tUeadmnn. and the other by ex-Governor
Gear, of Iowa, delivered before the Rail
way Employees' clnb, nt Des Moines.
We are not specially interested in what
these' gentlemen said- Cur t.isk is to
note what Tbe Railway Ago says. The
editor of The Railway Age is profound
ly interested in the farmer, bemoans his
ignorance und stupidity, his general
want of common sense, the easy way he
is bnnkoed, nnd therefore seeks, with
much ado. to persuade tho farmer that
he is and has been from the start an
easy victim of deception: that an' ordi
nary pup, beforo its eyes aro open, knows
qnite ns much about railroads, politics.
economy and legislation us the average
fanner, and that his condition never
will improve until ho listens to tho ad
vice given by such gentlemen as Messrs.
Steaduian and Gear and drills with tbe
railway employees clubs designed to
enable farmers to cut their eyeteeth.
The Railway Age editor says:
It appoint tu bo a ili.HcuIt tbinit to make the

But he has hanuwed tbe rai:uay? a ad Injured

and breuKlil dtneord and dUtruat into the best.
neaaand eeunomlc relations of the conutrv.
His efforts have been purely destructive, and
of the injury to tbe financial welfare which be
baa wrought the agricultural interests have
bad to bear at less! their share. And this is
all that the real fanner has received from tbe
granger demagogue.
It was quite unnecessary for the editor
of The Railway Age to lie so verbose.
His prolixity is a great waste of space.
He goes a roundabout way to tell the
fanner he i an egregious ass. the weak,
limp victim of charlatans, asinine to an
extent that he requires the protection of
such beuevolent and philanthropic men
as owu and operate railroads J:iv
Uould. for instance whiso great hearts
are ceaselessly yearning to rescue farm
ers from demagogues and granger poli
ticians. bunko stecrers. robbers, wily
and oily pirates, who agitate until con
great passes interstate commerce laws,
based upon the fact that pious, godly.
nbliniated railroad presidents and di
rectors et a), should cease their piracies
nnder severe peualties.
And these "demagognes and granger
politicians. these cheats and vnhjnr
tricksters, have so kept up their agita
tion that the representatives of tho peo
ple in various states have passed laws
which railroad magnates say they will
hot obey if they can help it. nnd to ac
complish their purpose they appeal to
their employees to. clnb together -for the
purpose of aidiug them to intimidate the
lawinakiug powers, and the editor of The
Railway Age applauds the proceeding.
The editor of The Railway Ago is terri
bly in earnest. He wants the farmer to
comprehend fully how great an ess he
is. anil bow that he. the editor, can res
cue him from browsing around on thorn-
hushes and thistles, with his tail fnll of
burs, and lead .him where clover and
bluegrass is knee deep. He says:
To hate the demagogue the PetTers end

certion of that community. It i-. trne. has suf
fered itMdf lo be begaued and befooled by these
noisy gentlemen. But that sect ion, coint&cd

working mass of tbe agricultural class. Is friv-
ohiojdy small and (in some states at least, and
we stuped in all) nave been habitually over
estimated. The farmers of the United States con
trol greater interests than railroad cor
porations. They know when , they are
swindled, and in choosing representa
tives they are quite as competent as the
proprietors of The Railway Age aro to
choose editors, and such representatives
will not suffer when compared with tho
men who malign them, nor is the malig
nity of the attack condoned by the flatu
lent complimentary platitudes about
farms, nor the following:
It is Idle to talk of tbe Interest of the rail
ways and the farmers as be'ng antagonistic.

have proceeded upon tbe idea that they

There'll l.o More Astonishment.
Wliou Roger j. Mills was elected to
the senate his seat in the honse tiecanie
vacant, and a xpecii'.l election tu till that
vacancy was ordered by the governor nf
Texas to be held on June 14. The re
turns of that election, just received,
show it majority of :il for E. L. An
tony, the Democratic candidate, over I.
N. Darber. the candidate of the People's
party.
That result is likely to astonish Demo
crats in nil parts of the t-onntrv. and
particularly in tho south.where the new
People's party is growing with marvel
ous rapidity.
In Mr. Mills carried his dbnrirt
by a majority of 5.S51. in ISSS by n ma
jority of S.Stto. ami in 1SSKI by a majority
of 13.240. In IS)8 the counties compris
ing the district gave Cleveland a major
ity of 13.44:1. In 1SB0 they gave the
Democratic candidate for governor a
majority of l.y.lsa.
Now the People's party runs its first
candidate in that district nud the Demo
cratic majority is only Ulo.
The leaders of the new party are
greatly encouraged by this result, anil a
still more vigorous raiiiaign will I
made later on. when a representative is
to lie elected in the fifty-third congress;
and in other districts of Texas the Peo--ple's
i-.arty will nominate its t-.-nnlittates
and tight hard for their success: anil
this will lia done uot only in Texas. Imt
in ne:irly nil of the states of the south.
Candidates for president and vice presi
dent are to le nouiiuated at Omaha le
fore long, aud these will be snptiortett
very earnestly iu several states. Tbe
People's party is very s'ronx in both
Cnroliuas, in Oeorgia. iu i'cxas. in Kan
sas, in Nebraska, in Colorado and in
Wisconsin and Jinnesota. It would 1
unwise to predict that it will not rarry
single state. It may carry two or
three, while in manv it will exert a

We ure uot sure that we know what
bill Mr. Burgess means. Tbo term "free
silver means that the government is to
take bullion nnd coin it into dollars free
and turn the result over to the party
who deposits the bullion..
This is precisely what is done for the

Where Is the lollar?
I believe that both of the parties are
afraid of Wall streot. They are not
afraid of the people. They say to me.
"Don't yon know that you can bny more
with a dollar now than you ever conld
in the history of our country?" That
may be true: but suppose you owed a
thousand dollars. Ten years ago six hun
dred bushels of wheat wonld have paid
the debt. Now it retjnircs fourteen hun
dred bushels to pay it. Suppose you
havo live dollars, how inncli more taxes
will it pay? How much more iutcrcst on
