Short crops and low prices are ruining
our people financially, but strength-
ening them in the populist faith.
Chairman Bradley has just spent two
weeks in our county (Karnes) and awa-
kened many of the indifferent and sloth-
ful. We are hopeful for a great growth
for populism in this section, and are ar-
ranging to get organized thoroughly.
Runge, Tex. A. V. Rodgers.
Angelina county populists are still firm
> in the faith, though not so active in po-
litical work. We are husbanding our
crops and as soon as work on our farms
is dispatched, we hope to round up our
people politically and get them to work
ior the cause. Our chances are better
than ever before. The democrats are al-
ready at work, and candidates are an-
nouncing themselves this early. We will
watch their curves and keep up with
them this time. J. M. Bower.
Keltys, Tex.
Populists in this section are strong in
the faith, and show no signs of weaken-
ing; while many democrats say they are
done with such democracy as they were
forced to accept last year. Our town is
dead; two fine mill plants here have
been shut down six or eight months, and
no prospect of starting up again soon.
Prosperity of the late type is worying our
people greatly. W. J. Collins.
Warren, Tex.
The bitterest pill I ever swallowed was
the Bryan pill last year, and you may
count me out on that line next year. I
will never vote for any man who does not
declare himself fully on our side. Wilson
county populists are all firm and making
fair progress. We will organize the
county on the club plan at an early day,
and put ourselves in shape for the ap-
proaching contest Money is scarce, and
our crops are shorter this year than ever
before. J. A. Wilson.
Stockdale, Tex.
The shooting of the defenseless miners
by order of the judge who issued that in-
junction; the damage suit agains the
Mercury company; the mob that attacted
Brann; the railroad compromise swindle,
and other like happenings, are all pro-
ductions of ring rule.
The rings are doing all in their pow er
to stamp out free speech, free press and
the rights and liberties of the people.
People in this part of the country are
getting very much worrried over present
conditions, and wish to put a stop to ring
rule.
People here think the damage suit
againist the Mercury comf any was insti-
gated by the Austin and other rings, and
that these rings contributed freely to the
support of these suits.
Many of our democratic friends and
neighbors are getting quite sick of pres-
ent condition?, and the frauds apd cie-
ception of the political and money rings.
Scales are foiling from their eyes.
Iredell, Tex. D. P. Brand.
Nothing pleases me more, than to read
in the Mercury, those encouraging letters
and iron clad, strict middle of the road
resolutions, which come from all over
our broad land.
Supposing, and believing that all true
populists are as much pleased to hear
cheering news as I-am, I will direct a
few lines.
From my knowledge of Llano county's
political status I conclude that just about
one-half of the voters are popoulists, with
futures in our favor.
And as far as I am able to learn, pop-
ulists of Llano county are a unit on Oma-
ha principles, without one iota of triming,
with the initiative and referendum ad-
ded-
We had a meeting in Llano in June
last, and adopted resolutions covering
the middle of the road all the way up,
trom Omaha to Nashville inclusive.
Our secretary at said meeting was in-
structed to furnish the Mercury with a
copy for publication, but I do not think
it ever appeared in its columns.
Long live the Mercury,
Cap Mountain, Tex. J. D. C ady.
The enemies of reform having failed
in their efforts to buiy populism, are now
seeking to accomplish it by throttling our
reform press. The damage suit by Buck
Walton is inspired by that idea. If they
can destroy our papers and press they
will have made a great advance in that
direction. In this effort they will never
succeed. The thousends of honest re-
formers all over Texas will rally as one
man to the rescue. The issue is not
against the Mercury alone, but against
every man who dares oppose ring rule
and machine domination.
Blanton, Tex. E. D. Word.
In regard to Walton s damage suit, we
are at your service, and stand ready to
substantiate your alligations.
Troupe, Tex. W. R. Mitchell.
We all love the Mercury, and hope
you will come out on top in that libel
suit We are still middle of the roaders
and will stand by the principle through
defeat or victory. No fusion, no back-
ing down. We favor union, but it must
be on the line laid down at Omaha, St.
Louis and Nashville. J. J. Waldrip.
San Marcos, Tex.
The old guard in Limestone are still
firm, and will do all they can for the
cause. We are gaining converts to the
ranks of reform constantly. Our crops
are short and half the formers will not
be able to pay out this year.
Croesbeck, Texas. L G. Aspley.
Now then read the Mercury, and keep
with the signs of the times.-

GOOD NEWS FOR THE AFFL'CTgD.
IN less than three year "5 DROPS" haspurely on its own merit become recognized as the one sure
specific for ail rheumatic and nervous affections. It cannot fail. The secret of this unqualified suc-
cess is told in a few words. When you are cured by "c DROPS" you stay cured. The Whyf is also
explained. "5 DROPS" cures by eradicating the cause, ft is a positive antidote to the rheumatic pois-
on. It acts directly on the blood. It is not affected by the stomach acids, and therefore the result is
as certain as the fact that night will follow day. The letters printed in full below tell their own story.
Cured Where Everything Else Failed, Rheumatltm lor Thirty-two Years
Dear Sirs:—We have used one bottle of your "5 Gentlemen:—I am glad to say that 1 feel so much
DROPS." and must say it has done wonders. My bette. since 1 began taking your medicine that I

already tried everything that came under our notice have been down with Rheumatism for the last 3a
for her, but failed to obtain relief until we read one years. The plaster that you sent with my medicine

gave up all hopes to try "5 DROPS." How glad only myself that has been benefited by your medi-
we were that we tried it cannot be expressed in cine, but everybody else that I know of who has used

.Helena, Neb. (Box 6 .) One Leg Withering, «.aún
Dear Sirs:—I want to write you what wonderful
"5 DROPS" has done.for my friend, Mr D R Dun*
away, of Coppenhagen. N Y. For six year*, on ac-
count of muscular and nervous Rheumatism,
he had not been able to walk without a crutch and
cane and suffered so much pain that he had to take
morphine to obtain any rest whatever. He was ter-
ribly thin and one leg was withering away. 1 gave
him a bottle of'*5 DROPS" which he has not yet
entirely finished, but to-day he is without pain or
ache of any sort. He hat thrown away both bis
crutch and his cane and says he has not felt so well
in to vears. Everybody who hat used "5 DROPS"
in this neighborhood reportt at favorably of it. It
it the most wonderful remedy in the world.
Yours very respectfully, Geo. Kkiskk,

Neuralgia.
Dear Sirs:—The medicine that you sent me has
proved to be a blessing to my muther. She had Neu-
ralgia for 15 years, and look
kill ner. The doctors could not relieve her suffering
two or three
one minute. She took "5 DROPS'
days, and she has not felt it tince. She is more
grateful to you than words can express. Very truly
yours, W. A. Jaknagin,

A Severe Case of Asthma.
Gentlemen:—I can recommend "5 DROPS" to be
the best remedy for Asthma I ever tried. I tried ev-
everything that people said would give relief, but
nothing seemed to help me. At timet the attacks
would nearly kill me; 1 could not lie down, and I
could get my breath only by putting my hands on
my knees. The agony I suffered was great, and my
mother finally sent me a bottle of "5 DROPS" trom
Freemont, Neb. 1 used it according to directions,
and to-day I feel like another person. I know of
eight people who have Asthma, and seeing how your
medicine cured me, they are going to sena for some, cure until she tried
Catarrh and Hay Fever.
I find the bottle of "5 DROPS" to be very good
and just what you claim. My wife hat been auf
fering with Catarrh and Hay Fever over 16 years.
