V Last Saturday National Chairman Butler, of (bo People's party, gave out the follow lug; ''To tho pooplo of tho United States: "In tho remarkablo campaign just closed, (bo People's party was the only party that supported solidly and unitedly tho great Ja 8U03 represented In tho candidacy of Mr. liry. an. This was natural, for tho People's party came hit v exlstenco to Wring to tho front and to prees to victory tho principles of Lincoln and Jefferson, already discarded by the two old parties. The money power, fooling reas onably sure of its control and domination of the leaders and the controlling influences in tho Republican party In 1802, gave itssupport to (ho candidacy of Urovor Cleveland for tho ospecial pur|>0?0 of having him, through tho use of patronage and otherwise, crush out tho silver sentiment lu tho South, and make tho londvts In that party a-? completely subservient as those lu tho Republican party. To aocom pl.hthis purpose, four ca'iutt ministers were selected from tho Houth and an units ualiy largo amount of patronage used to that political end, It will ho remembered that Mr. Cleveland demanded that lemocratio Sena tors and Congressmen givo a decisive vote in tho interests of tho gold standard before he would Oven give out postofllees. "This dncp-lald plan might h&ve succoodod had not tho People's party, at iliis juncture, sprung Into existence, exposed tho plot, stood in tho breach ami appealeJ to the pa triotic hoste of both parties to check tho Bchomo of tho jlCoplc's deppoilers and rally to the common detancu ? -Tljus tho People's party forccd tho Democratic organization to repudiate Clovelandism and return to tho correct fundamental principles. Not only this, tho People's parly then forccd tho He publican party to ceaso hedging dud strad dling for tho purpose of deceiving the poo dle, and drove them to tako a stand on one sldo or (bo other of tho vital issues at Btako. Tho Issue how bolng eqiTarety Joined, It was ovidout that thoso influences in tho Demo cratic party, which had dominated and de bauched the party for a quarter of a contury, would bo driven to tin ? upport of tho parry that took a position on the sldoof trusts, mo nopolies and money gamblers. While, on iho other hand, It is evident thalovon a larg er per cent, of tho Republican party favored Ilia principles now souarely forced to tho front, yet only a small per cent, would in this campaign. support thom because they found them urfdbr the Democratic bauner. Had It not tjpen for tho protestatiou against tho Democratic name, as well as a want of confidence in Democrat!** promises, for which it must bo frankly admitted, past experience furuishosn ground, a majority of tho voters of the country, in spite of tho trcmendious and unparalleled forces put forward by tho Republican managors, would have cast their votofor financial reform and American inde pendence. 'I he People's part y, with a high j patriotism and uu unselfish devotion to principle, greater than ever before exhibited by any party, stopped outside of itsorgauizu tion to throw its two million votes solidly for Mr. Brvao. Iiadnot more than this number of thoso who called themselves Dofoofirats in 1892 given their support to McKinlcy, tho cause of tho pooDlo and American principles would have triumphed' this year. This class of Democrats will surely support tho party of monopolies and trusts In future. Tlu-ir places In the ranks of tho reform hosts must be taken by patriotic Republicans.

I cannot believe otherwise, for I hnvo not less confidence in tbo patriotism of this claps of Republicans than tbo rank and file of tho Dcm(K)ratic party has already demonstrated. Thcroforon largo per cent who, though n6t fooled by the spocious pleas of ' -honest money" and promised prosperity, jci who would not in this campaign flgbt under tho Democratic banner will surely jQi;i_hauda? with the ma- 2 ,'jorlty of tho American voters outside of iho gold'partlos to overthrow a government of trusts and monopolies run in tho interest of foreign capitalists.

If, as nowse?m? not unlikely, tho cotton crop is reduced in amount by 500,000 or GO ',000 bales, tho sales oi India co'.ton may bo roducod by that amount, this leading to an increased demand with better prices for American coltoii.

Jn.stead of talking mysteriously about "sound money" and an "hoim?l dollar," they mutjt now elaborate and defend a financial system.
