How shall we obtain it? Allow

that are worth the money you pay
for them. Goods that will stand

We consider that we have one of

Deal Mr:—Vou have done more
for the laboring class of people
and tl • sufferers of Cuba the
short t ,.e you have run The (iu-
zette ti an all the democratic pa-
pers i:< the state. Vou have
shown the sufferings of Cuba
in full, which proves to the world
the populists platform of "iH'j was
right in offering to defend Cuba.
Here is the populist plauk in the
1H(.m> platform, "We believe the
time has come when the I'nited
States, the great republic of the
world, should recognize that

in their heroic struggle for liber-
ty and Independence." Therein
no man on earth but what will
sympathize for a starved and

state could, for the reason the
democrats won't read theiu. I
have t een asked by over one
hundred deniocra s if you were
