DECATUR DEMOCRAT. ZDecatiar, Ind.. DEMOCRATIC press CO., ■ ■ Pl BEISHERS. VOTe FOR BRYAN. The day has now come when all lib. erty-loving men will look to their interests. The combined forces ot capital and its managers have caused men to halt, pause ere they are ensnared. Shall the millions who live from hand to mouth be made more miserable? Shall they and their little homes he turned into tenants and estates, paying large profits to those who are the oppressors? A man who is in the employ of coercion combinations must shudder at the thought of casting his vote for honesty or for the accumulation of wealth to his employer, is indeed in a most pitiful plight Shall he pay his compliments to those who seek to rob all vitality, prosperity and happiness, or shall he cheerfully pay his compliment that it may mean bread, butter and plenty? The money forces combined hand in hand swaying a gleaming sword of oppression, striving to make laboring humanity a profitable source of income, is indeed sadly to be regretted. Why is he who represents honest money, prosperity and happiness so harshly opposed by monied powers? Why do they spend millions to defeat him. corrupting man, the ballot box, creating depression, pauperism and suffering to infant humanity. Monied forces drive laboring humanity to the fortress of oppression. Trey bring disorder and retreat to prosperity smiles sarcastically at hungry mouths and thinly clad firms A land of bondage, alas.

used to pacify the complainig labor, to hush that wailing cry of low prices. Foreign labor. We say that the servant is worthy of bis hire. At present the boy across the pond has not hurt or crippled any of the trades common to this land. There is room for many more of those who are industrious and endeavor to build up this good and glorious land of ours. Foreign labor, as now politically applied is only a weaker defined form of overproduction. Republicans preach war with England, Old Glory is again to be deluged with human gore. They who raise an offensive hand against gold bugs and their security nests, bondholders, bond investors and their high tax grip, Wall street and ther sharps, Lombard street and its bold avarious lions seeking whom they may devour are called and classed by such as repudiators, anarchists, violent and unlawful citizens. The men thought of suoh expressions and well known words that strike terror and impart flame and destruction to this the land of the free. God forbid that any dire calamity may befall Columbia's free land. But there is an unseen power that protects us The laborer who casts his vote for a single gold measure in obevance to such coersive and influencing demands is certainly in a pitible state. A home where hungry mouths are wailing for food, and thinly clad human beings are clamoring tor shelter and clothing to protect them from the chilly blasts of a drearv winter The mechanic and his trade, the laborer and his tools, the farmer and' his farm, alike share that inevitable fate that only awaits him ere long. All’they who are heavy laden and oppressed should vote for W illiam J. Bryan, the man ofjonly a certain class of which only a very few spring up in a century. By so doing the state of affairs and matters can certainly be made any worse than those of the present day. But well, as this man replies prosperity is bound to return, the heavy load oppression w r i 11 fall at our feet, starvation will flee from the homes of plenty, hunger will cease to rap at the vitality of human beings. The homes where now the icy blasts blow through and freeze the marrow in frail bones, will then close up and a light of hospitality will radiate therefrom instead. ’Tis sad to be called an anarchist, but they that are in bond shall be free. There is no more prominent anarchist in this territorial sphere than Herr Most, who labors with earnestness and zeal for the gold standard and sound money doctrine. Free silver advocates are badly denounced, how about Herr Most and sound money? Sound money and no rival competitor. Anarchism and up scepter to check its swa’ England endeavors to grasp our laurels and we dare not resist. The bank of England with its multiplied millions dropping into its vaults annually and we dare not attempt to check it under threats of great war ships whose mighty cannons belch forth shell, fire and destruction on and against our sea ports, and they who daretotread freedom's land and pull do vn the ensign of truth and purity, the stars and stripes, because democracy seeks to rival her gold and create orospersty at home. William J. Bryan, the Paul Revere of 1896, warns us all against the crisis Seek -men to thwart it off by casting your ballot for him.
