Touch shoulders and press forward, for this is our day. Force the fighting on every side, scatter our literature and the battle is ours. How is the “character” of your money now, and how is your stomach? Guess it's empty. If youthink the “character of your money’’ is placed above question, it would be well to heed the demands of your- stomach and back. Who is it that is too lazy to work and insist that they be supported by the earnings of others? The bankers. High move ain’t it? This is the day of industrial invalidism.—Cal Brice. This is the day of d—d scoundrel ism. and Cal Brice is one of the leading scoundrels. The government can break the panic in thirty days, put every idle man to work, start every i lie man to work, start every wheel and spindle in the land. Suppose in an evil moment the government should give ear to the demands of corporations and tire on peaceable citizens, who can tell where it would end. ■VNUMBBaamMBanaaBBa What does the Republican party stand for? Answer, for a high protective tariff, the British system of finance—the gold standard—and paper money issued upon a bonded debt, the uncontrolled exercise of corporate privileges and the revenues collected largely from the necessities of the people. Is that stated correctly, Brother Marshall?

It Is Natural.

In commenting on the Coxey march, the Chicago News Record says: It is unfortunate that our people should, in their distress look to Congress for help instead of depending on themselves. Let us see how this thing is upon which this great daily- wastes its owlish wisdom. Poverty, want, destitution, hunger and need of employment caused the inception of the Coxey idea. Who caused the poverty? Not the people, for the national increase of wealth has been great, and that proves the industry of the people. Why do people want in the midst of plenty, and there is plenty of food, clothing, fuel and shelter, for the News and other such sheets have said there was an over production of all the necessaries of life and that caused the trouble. It is not because of war or pestilence, for we have had neither. It is not the fault of nature, for she has been most generous for the past twenty years, blessing the husbandman in basket and store. If the fault is not chargeable to nature nor cannot be found in the people. and we know it can’t, for they have worked and are willing to work, then is it unfortunate or unreasonable that they should turn to their government. We think not regardless of what the News has said or may say. Especially do we regard it as a most natural thing for the people to do so, inasmuch as they have seen the government take up one after another the most indolent, useless and vicious of all the classes that go to make up our body politic, nurse, foster and coddle them till they all grew rich. Why, look at them, the land thieves, the government has aided them to steal our public domain. See the railroad, subsidized and protected by the government until they have amassed fortunes, such as the world never saw before. See the national banking system, the most useless, unnecessary, and the most cunningly devised system of robbery ever constructed, and all done by the government under the cover of law, a system devised especially to enable one class to live in ease and grow rich at the expense of labor. Consider our bonded debt, not created by the exigencies of the war or to carry on the war, but created during and after the war, almost entirely after the war, created solely to aid thieves and scoundrels to plunder the people. That whole system of bond indebtedness was never called for by any national necessity, but was conceived in the brain of scoundrels, planted in the hotbed of congressional folly, fertilized by villainous legislation till it has extracted four billions of dollars from the pockets of labor and the end is not yet. Seeipg that the government has given away the land, protected the railroads till they have almost ruined agriculture, made the bankers and manufacturers rich, it in both natural and fortunate that the people turn to their government for help. They will not get it from this congress, but they can demand it and demonstrate more clearly, if possible, that Congress works solely in the interest of the robber classes. Make that plain to the common people and then they will elect a Congress, not Democrats or Republicans, tout a People’s Party Congress, and, mind you, that Congress will do good work for the people. No, Mr. News, you may lie, misreprepresent and deplore the way the people are looking, it will do no good, for the people are now looking in the right direction, to Congress, and if they don’t come to their relief (and they won’t) a congress will be elected that will. So howl on News and gnash your teeth, it will do no good. The procession has started and all h— can’t stop it.

WE believe the present congress to be the most worthless aggregation that ever cursed or disgraced this planet. If David B. Hill stands for anything that is democratic, he should anchor a whistling buoy over it. Otherwise it will never be found.—Kokomo Dispatch. Who are they that so bitterly denounce the march of labor to the national capital? Answer, those who have been there and stolen everything that was loose except the morals of our congressmen. Cal Brice, (the scoundrel), says the present distress is consequent upon the re-adjustment of values to the gold standard. The villain, he and his party claimed the repeal bill would appreciate values. Suppose the Republican party is returned to power you will have the gold standard, a high protective tariff and corporate robbery. Well haven’t we had that for thirty years and things have steadily grown worse. Have railroad rates, express charges, incomes on loans, official salaries and insurance rates been cut down so as to correspond with the condition and earnings of productive industry? We answer no nor will they be till people elect men in sympathy with themselves.

Dan Voorhees (hold your noses), says Indiana Democratic editors have vindicated him. Now who will vindicate the Indiana Democratic editors? Big job for somebody, and a nasty one, too. The Populist theory of money is sanctioned by the Constitution, Supreme Court, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Calhoun and Lincoln, and opposed by John Sherman, Cleveland and Wall street. Where do you stand, voter? In view of all the ruin and distress caused by our financial system, if John Sherman, the old hellion, possessed one thousandth part of the manhood that Judas Iscariot did, he would go out and hang himself, and be quick about it. At last we are happy to say we see some indication of a revival business. The sign that gives us hope is that so many Democratic congressmen are declining renomination on account of their business affairs demanding so much of their time. The spirit of true democracy is in the west. Cut loose from the gold-bug-protectionist wing in the east and all will be well, but if we follow their lead we might as well all go over to the republicans and make the thing unanimous. Spencer (Ind.) Democrat.

The Republican legislature of New York passed a vote of thanks to Senator Hill for his speech against tho tariff bill, and the Minnesota Democrats, in their state platform denounce as traitors twelve Democratic senators. While the Indianapolis Sentinel says, “The Democracy is rapidly learning who the traitors are. The information is not pleasing but it is valuable. ” When the traitors are all found out which -will constitute the party, the Benedicts or the other fellows? Two years ago the Populists elected one officer in Jasper county and came near electine all. We have had two years more to educate the people, and two years more has been given to demonstrate the inability of the old parties to rightfully gcvern the country. We now propose to move on the enemy’s works, capture the government and make it serve the interests of the whole people, so stand aside fogies and mossbacks. Class legislation must cease.

Gems of Populism.

Following are extracts from the speech of Mrs. Lease delivered in New York: “We fill God’s blue heavens with spires and domes while his children wander the cold earth without an attic in which to sleep. “Christ taught the equality of men. If the plutocrats are to rule the world it would seem to need in place of the humble carpenter of Nazareth, a Christ who wears a stovepipe hat and smokes twenty-five cent cigars. “As political shepherds, the two old political parties have had but one though for their flock, the people—not how that flock might best be tended, but how often and how closely it might be shorn. “Every child that dies of hunger furnishes incontrovertible evidence of a murder done for money. ‘.‘The mighty giant of labor is at last aroused. He is shaking the pillars of the capitalistic temple. In his eyes is the light of justice. He is breaking the fetters that have for ages bound him to the rock of ignorance, and is demanding exact justice for all and special privileges for none.

“Men will not starve in the sight of plenty, and when a votary of fashion gives a birthday party, consisting of game pie, chicken and ice cream, to her pet poodle, there is no reason why men should starve. “We are burning corn in Kansas for fuel, while the coal miners of Pennsylvania are starving, and all because the government does not own the railroads. “The aristocracy of your great city may well be startled as it thinks of the French revoluiton. The Republican of last week made a statement that the Populists were almost extinct in Colorado as late election results show* a decided falling off from that party. Of course it is well for the Republican newspapers to make such statements, they wouldn’t be keeping up appearances if they didn’t. When Mr. Marshall made that statement he forgot to give his authority for it, or to even show how the results actually were. For his benefit, as well as other readers, we append the following official result of the recent election in Colorado. Populists carried 17 towns. Citizens Ticket carried 22 “ Republicans carried ... 13 “ High License “ .... 6 “ Mixed Results “ .... 5 “ Democrats “ .... 1 “ Prohibitionists'* .... 1 “ This is not discouraging to the People’s Party, especially when we consider that a Citizens’ Ticket is, in reality a Populist victory. Almost every legislative official, court official, political thug and scoundrel, and nearly the whole brood of stinking jackleg lawyers, for thirty years have had their pockets stuffed with passes, and have been riding in grand railroad style, while honest toil has footed the bills. That was all right, (in their eyes) but when honest but starving laborers, few in number, asked for one similar . favor, it was denied them, and they were threatened with death if they attempted to get aboard; nor would they allow them to ride when the governor of lowa offered to pay for their transportation. Is this the United States or Russia? There is a God in Israel.

Let us know who favor and who oppose an income tax; who favor and who oppose paying tribute toOthe sugar trust; who favor and who oppose taxing whiskey for the benefit of the trust; who favor and who oppose free iron ore; who favor and who oppose each and every attempt to tax the many for the benefit of the few.—Terre Haute Gazette.
