The People’s Refuge.
Heretofore the choice in politics has always been between evils. Of course a small minority has steadily refused to accept either, but their numbers were too small even to make a vigorous protest But the political alignment has changed, and in the future the choice will be between the right of the people to retain and enjoy the wealth which they create by their labor and the right of corporations, tirasts, combines and moneyed syndicates to absorb that wealth in the shape of interest, rent, profit, etc. This choice between right and wrong will henceforth be submitted to the people, the great mass of whom are engaged in productive labor and legitimate business, and the decision in favor of the right cannot be regarded as doubtful. Those who expected any great measure of reform will be disappointed, and there will be nd place for them to go except into the people’s party, which proposes to abolish the system by which plutocracy has been permitted to rob the people. The issues of the future will be sharply defined between the man and the dollar, and the man will rule.—Alma (Kam) News
