Populist Cooperation Dilemma In Cabarrus County
A long letter from M. T. Wilder in The Progressive Farmer discusses fusion with Republicans, the Omaha Platform, and cooperation principles.

The piece endorses clear policy aims like coinage of silver at 16 to 1 and government money issuance, while calling for principled unity and caution against betrayal.
