sire. In plain language, tee that
favors direct legislation, the referen-
dum and the imperative mandate.
Brother McKnight, of Sheridan,
Wyoming, criticises the Mercury for
"advertising and recommending" the
Nebraska Independent "as a Populist
newspaper." We no more recommend a
newspaper when we advertise it In
the ordinary way of business than we
recommend anything elso we adver-
tise. We draw the line on advertising
at something that is a fraud on its
face. We have bitterly opposed the In-
dependent, but there is no reason to
refuse to advertise in tho way we do.
In a lecture at New Haven, Mar 11,
the Rev. Broerkhinzen, Oom Paul's for-
mer pastor at Pretoria, denied all the
newspaper reports about the progress
of an early peace. He declared that he
had recent news Indicating that there
was no truth in the rumors of sur-
render by the Boers. He condemned
Cecil Rhodes and said that Methuen's
life was saved because he had proved
the best commissary the Boers had.
Delarey'^ last report to Kruger, he
said, was that he would fight to the
bitter end.
There are certain laws of nature that
arc even more sacred and higher than
human laws and the person or persons
who violate them for reasons of per-
sonal gain are not much better than
the anarchists who seek to destroy all
government.
j The one seeks to destroy the happi-
ness of the people and the other to de-
stroy the government. What does It
benefit a man if he saves the govern-
ment. from the anarchists and he him-
self is reduced to pauperdom by the
grinding down methods of the trusts?
—Houston Herald (Conservative.)
The advertising agencies have taken
the cue from t.he insurance men who
employed a "distinguished divine" to
preach on the Christian duty of life in-
surance. Mr. Herbert L. Wiliett, Dean
of the Disciples' Divinity House at
Rockefeller's Chicago Swill Barrel, Is
now proving that the "teachings of
Jesus countenance advertising." The
poker players and crap shooters can
make out a stronger case than either
to bring their avocations under the
sanction of the holy name of Jesus.
We frequently read of "oasting lots,"
under divine command, which is only
one form of gambling.

Few papers of the size and influence
of the Mercury dare to champion the
cause of the common people. Most of
the so-called Populist, and reform pa-
pers are so mild and conservative io
their utterances that it is difficult to
determine what side of any proposition
they are on.

The Methodists have only one uni-

buildings and grounds, valued at six
hnndred thousand dollars, and its
scientific equipment valued at one hun-
dred and fifty thousand dolars. and an
endowment of one million two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, Is a worthy
monument to its founder and bene-
factors.

thodox brand whose representatives
are now In session in this city, are In
distress because this great central lum-
inary, the Vanderbilt, Is teaching her-

Texas Farmer talks the right stuff
and speaks the heart conviction of Mr.
Bryan's followers when he says:
It would be better for t.he country
to remain under Republican rule than
change to that of men who deserted

! open foe than an enemy disguised tui a
friend."
The People's Party Club of Hamilton
county, Precinct No. 1, on May 5th,
passed the folowing resolution relative
to the Allied People's party, which
echoes the sentiments of the whole
People's party of Texas:
"Be It. resolved, that we heartily en-
dorse the platform of the Allied Peo-
ple's party of promulgating it and that
we commend to the public the spirit of
liberty breathed In It and promised by
its ultimate success."
The resolution, is only one among
many of similar tenor which have come
to our notice during past week. There
is no dissension among Texas Popu-
lism. They are in line for the fray;
their guns are trained on the enemy
:and the fight, will begin in earnest
I when the State convention Is held.
Until men of experience and ability
take tho places of the sleek-faced
liudes and cymling-headod young law-
yers in our State legislature, little
can be expected in the way of whole-
some legislation.
Don't be deceived by the promises of
the two old parties. If there is a sin-
gle instance when they have kept
faith with the people, we are unable to
call it to mind. Their life depends
■upon deceiving the people.

The Mercury is in receipt of an invi-
tation to attend the commencement ex-
crclses of Washington College of Law,
Washington, D. C., May 20. 1902.
Among the distinguished graduates
we note the name of Miss Bessie Agnes
Dwyer, of San Antonio, Texas. Many
of the old members of the Farmers'
Alliance of Texas will remember Miss
Btssie as one of the most active work-
ers in the movement when It was at
its zenith. She had a position on the
staff of the National Economist when
it was one of the most widely circu-
lated journals of the country. After
its demise she remained In Washington
and devoted her time and energies to
fitting herself to more successfully
fight the battle of life. With the dis-
tinction of being a Bachelor of Law
by authority of one of the leading col-
leges In the country, coupled with her
untiring energy and brilliant accom-
plishments, we predict for her a hl#h
position In her chosen profession. The
Mercury extends its congratulations.
Gonzales County Populists will hold

"THE SOUTH'S SHAME."
Under this caption Mrs. Irene Shelby
Macfayden, the tireless worker in la-
bor's cause, whose name is linked with
tho effort to suppress child labor iu
the factories and mills, writes of con-
ditions prevailing in the Southern
States, where the "worklngman's
party" (the Bourbon Democracy)
makes the laws and regulates condi-
tions. Mrs. Macfayden gives a splen-
did illustration of three of the little
victims of this modern slavery, and
writes:
"Here are three of them—throe of
the little slaves of capital, typical of
the 20,000 children under 14, now toil-
ing out their lives in the textile mills
of the South. Mattie, the little ono
standing beside me, is i! years old. She
is a spinner. Inside the cotton mill
for twelve hours a day she stands in
tho 4-foot passage-way between tho
spinning frames where the cotton is
spun from coarser into line threads.
As t comes down from the roping
abo.c, now and then it breaks, at somo
part of the long frame, and her baby
fingers join the thread and sot tho
bobbin moving again. From daylight
to dark she is in the midst of the cease-
less racket of machinery. When I first
met. her it was Christmas Eve.
"The eve of the children's festival
when tho whole of Christendom cele-
brates the birth of tho Child whose
coming was to bring freedom to man-
kind, not to speak of freedom to chil-
dren. She was crying, and when I
asked tho reason, said between her
sobs, that she wanted a doll that
would o?ron and shut its eyes. 'When
would you play with it?" I asked tho
little toiler, whose weary eyelids wore
ready to close over her tired eyes di-
rectly the long day's work was over.
" 'I should have time a-plenty on
Sunday,' replied the little slave whoso
dally wage of 10 cents helped to .swell
the family income. There are thou-
sands like her in the South.
"Little Sallie is only ! . Look into
her worn face—not r trace of child-
hood's glad insouci ice about it. it
never changes from that fixed expres-
sion save when a * i smile crosses It
in pitiful response o a kind word.
For three years she lias done the same
thing that little Mattie is only begin-
ning. A few weeks before this picture
was taken she broke down completely
with nervous collapse. Continuous
work, the hot, unhealthy mill atmos-
phere, proved too much for her child-
ish brain. She could neither stand nor
speak, and her little limbs were shaken
by convulsive movements. When this
picture was taken she was slowly re-
gaining a feeble kind of health, and in
a week or two more would be back at
her endless toll. Tuoro are thous;i#.ds
like her in the South.
"I do not know how old Jack is. He
does not know himself. He does not.
know anything except that, lie has
worked since he can remember. I think
he may be about 11.
"The only sign of interest, in life he
over exhibits is shown when an or-
ange Is offered to him. There are thou-
sands like him in the South.
"That the horror and wrong which
Is hidden behind the cold, printed
words—Child Labor Legislation.
"These are American children drag-
ged into the mills when scarcely out of
their babyhood, without education,
without opportunity, being robbed of
health morally and physically, forced
to labor as In the days of negro slavery
npgro children never were. With their
baby hands these little slaves are un-
dermining tho liberties of the future,
not only of the cotton operatives of
the South, but of the American work-
ing people; not only of the working
people, but of the community in which
they for good or evil are to play so
large a part.
"And what is the universal reply to
your question, 'Why are they there?' "
"They are, It |s said, 'to attract
Northern capital,' a scathing comment
on both those who sell and those who
ask the sale. The Southern States of
America are the only section of the
world where the crime of infant, labor
Is permitted, a crime which If not,
quickly wiped out will write itself
large on economic and Industrial His-
tory, to the everlasting shame of the
people of America.
"Take the number of children em-
ployed! Statistics are very difficult to
obtain. In quoting figures It Is to be
remembered that we are not dealing
with the denser population of the
North and East. The whole popula-
tion of Alabama, more than one-third
of which Is negro, and does not count,
in this connection, Is only about the
Rame as tho city of Chicago.
"There is but one of the Southern
States in which there Is a Labor Com-
mission—North Carolina. Mr. It. R.
Lacey, as Labor Commissioner, gives
in his last, report. 7,005 children under
14 employed in 261 mills. Taking this
as a general average would give at.
least 20,000 children under 14 In the
textile mills of the South.
"The Cincinnati Post recently sent a
correspondent through the South to in-
vestigate the subject of child labor,
simply as a matter of news, and partic-
ularly cautioned him not to exagger-
ate. Out of at least 1,000 children em-
ployed In five mills In Columbia, S.
he estimates 400 to be under 12 ye;irs
of age. Applying this proportion to
the above figures, would give at the
vory lowest computation 8,000 little
children, infants between G and 12, as
operatives. He spoke personally to
a number of children who said they
were 7 and 8, and others who were bo
little they did not know their own
ago*.
"In Alabama they estimate that there
are at least 1,200 children, or between
and 7 per cent, of all the operatives.
In Georgia, from compared estimates
and actual counts, the proportion of
children under 12 to fcrown operatives
appears as between 14 and IB .per cent,
while In South Carolina II Is at least |
9 per cent.
"The Associated Press reported the
president of the Whitney mill* as stat-
in* before the Iscialatura t_,st 30 per
cent, of his operatives were under 12
years of age, which percentage he says
referred only to the spinning room, but
that is startling enough. Jauics K.
Orr stated that 2 5per cent, of his ma-
chinery was run by children under 12
years. These cold percentact a do not
give an adequate expression )t their
meaning. To the horrified visitor the
mills appear to bo swarming with lit-
tle children. The light and easy work
of which the managers speak Is to
stand on their feet all day before a
spinning frame, where tho threads
may break at one end or tho other or
in the middle at any moment, and
when the thread breaks tho spool stops
and tho thread is to be rejoined and
the spool started again.
"A baby has one frame to attend io,
but most have two, many have three
and some have four or five. Tho boys
are generally doffers or sweepers, that
is, they have to change the bobbins on
tho frames as they become full and sub-
stitute empty ones. In tho exercise of
their work they often run sixteen or
seventeen miles a day with their
trucks. The little sweeper piles a
broom bigger than himself to perform
these actions, trivial In themselves, un-
interruptedly for twelve hours a day
on the average, with only one half-hour
for rest and food. We all remember
how Lord Shaftesbury obtained power-
ful backing for his child labor law by
Inducing a gentleman in high place to
repeat for fifteen minutes the very ac-
tion required of tho child. At. the end
of that time he was willing to vote for
anything to put a stop to such bar-
barity.
"Without regulation of hours there
is no reason to prevent the mills work-
ing at night, and when they can do so
profitably they avail themselves of this
permission. I have talked with a little
boy of 7 years, who worked lor forty
nights in Alabama, and another child
not!) years old, who at 0 years old hail
been on I lie night shift for eleven
months.
"A clerk In a cotton mill told mo
that little boys turned out. at 2 o'clock
In the morning for some trivial fault,
afraid to go home, would beg hint to
allow them to go to sleep on tho olllco
iloor.
"In Georgia it is a common sight to
see the children of cotton operatives
stretched on the bed dressed as they
came, from the mills in the morning,
too weary to do anything but fling
themselves down to rest.
"In South Carolina Miss Jano Ad-
ams of Chicago found a child of 5 years
working at night In tho fine, large,
new mills. Only a few weeks ago I
stood at 10:30 at night in a mill In
Columbia, S. C., controlled and owned
by Northern capital, where children
who did not know their own ages were
working from C p. in. to 6 a. m. without
a moment for rest or food or a single
cessation of the maddening racket of
the machinery, In an atmosphere un-
sanitary and clouded with humidity
and lint." •
These facts should awaken every
true-hearted man or woman In the
South who values the honor of our fa-
vored section.
If Mrs. Macfayden should come to
Dallas she would find little children
(! years old working long hours for a
pittance, and kept awako by whip-
ping.
Organized labor, united with the
votes of good Christian Democrats and
Republicans, and tho Populists in t.he
Allied People's Party this fall, can re-
deem Texas and liberate the little
white slaves.
Will you help, brother, or allow
your hidebound prejudice to keep you
in line with the old party which allows
the terrible state of affairs set forth
above to exist, in this sunny Southland?
THE PEOPLE MUST UNITE.
I am In receipt of a rupy of Southern
Mercury and h;ivo read It carefully, and
highly appreciate Its contents. The
paper ought to be In the lianJa of ev-
ery patriotic voter In the United
States.
The time has fully come for the peo-
ple to wake up and heed the truth—
that the people should govern, and not
llm money power. Our United Slates
constitution was certainly founded on
the principles of a government by the
people and for the people.
Our people should understand and
know that money Is not wealth, only a
tool to transact, business. Tho prod-
uct. of labor, such as food, clothing and
shelter, I" true wealth. The time has
fully come for all honest patriots to
unite In this great reform movement
and el« ct a congress and president, who
will advocate ;i government by the peo-
ple and for the people.
There Is a gt' .i! work for all patri-
otic men and worn' n to do. The light
is on between Kiglit and Wrong. We
ought, to be on the right side, as w<
have reason to believe that God Is on
the right side.
Now, lot the people all over these
United Htat<• lay aside political preju-
dice and come together In bonds of love
ami union, and work for the welfare of
all, and overthrow monarchy, monop-
oly and the great money power at the
ballot box. Let us stand on the prin-
ciple of self government as set up by
our fathers. Let us heed the teachings
and examples pet by our Lord and Sav-
ior. Jesus Christ, and have the love for
each other we ought to have, and do
unto others as we would be done by.
With the advancement of science and
improvement, in machinery, with the
great natural resources of our magnifi-
cent country, our honest laboring men
and women could lie bountifully sup-
plied with one-half the labor now per-
formed If they could get their rights.
The signs of the times are showing
very plainly that the handwriting Is
on the wall, that the days of the plu-
tocrats and monopolists are numbered.
Let all who believe iu the principles of
right unite for honest government.—

In the year most women have to suffer for a week. At the best this
sufferinR interferes with household activities and social enjoyments.
At the worst it shuts the woman in a darkened room or confines her
to bed. Most womeu can be completely cured of irregularity by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It regulates the
periods, stops enfeebling drains and cures female weakness. It gives
vigor and vitality to the womanly organs, and tones up the ex-
hausted system.
" Favorite Frescription " is not a stimulant but a strengthening
medicine. It contains no alcohol and is free from opium, cocaine and
all other narcotics. Its benefits are not temporary but permanent.
Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. There
is no motive to offer you a substitute except to enable the dealer to
make the larger profit, which can be made on less responsible wares.
Insist on "Favorite Prescription" for self protection.
"AH praise is due to you for your wonderful ' Favorite Prescription,' " writes Mr.
Joliu W. Coffman, Rilisburg, Casey Co., Ky. "My wife suffered with female irregu-
larity; was confined to tied every three weeks. After using two bottles of Dr.
Pieroo'a Favorite Prescription was cured, and has not suffered any derangement
since. Your 'Favorite Prescription' is a boon for delicate women."
