TWENTY GOOD REASONS.

Wh; W«rZ»'tusf §ls*?nld vote with the Pcotfit’j. Parly. F. G. R. Gordon, secretary of i the People's party State commil-l-tee of Xe w lln vn nsh ire. has I-issued a circular giving the fol- ■ lowing twenty reasons why r working men should vote with I the People's party: If It is the only party that stands I for the true interests of the I wealth producers. I After twenty five years of I democratic, and republican rule, two have a debt of *32.000,000,000. I with 9,000.000 mortgaged homes I and 4,000.000 out of employment. I with 1.014,701 tent, ant farmers land 2,000,000 tramps.* During I these twenty-five years the two lold parties have given the rich I railroad coporations land enough I to give us all a farm. I In 1860 the farmers and wage I workers owned 73 per cent of I the wealth of the country. To--1 day they own less than 25 per I cent.

In the last ten years ourfarm|ers and toilers increased our national wealth 822,000,009,000, land every dollar of it has gone into the hands of plutocracy. Both the old parties are controlled by Wall Street, in the interest of banks, corporations and trusts. [Neither of the old parties offer a remedy.. History does not record a single case of an old party reforming itself. I tip: people's pauty demand: Government ownership of railrroads, telegraph and telephones, [express lines, mines, and all [other nateral monopolies. A currency, safe, sound, and [flexible, issued by the general [government only; [ Postal savings batiks for the [safe deposit of the savings of the [people; I Free and unlimited coinage of [gold and silver, at the ratio of 16 Ito 1; | A graduated income tax; | That the school ago be raised land child labor prohibited; [That hours of labor for men and [women bo reduced by legislation- | The iniative and referendum [system for city and state; I U. S. Senators and President [be elected by a direct vote; [ Municipal ownership of natur lal monopolies such as water [works, gas and electric lighting, [surface and elevated railroads; | Public lands reserved for act|ual settlers; | Money enough to do business [on a casli basis; | Abolition of interest bearing [bonds; [ A government of, by and for [the People, based upon the [Principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence.

■ TO WORKINGMAN. ■ You would like steady work, fcut you vote yourself out of a Bob. I You would like eight, hours per ■day, but you vote for ten. I You would like higher wages, ■>ut you vote for a reduction. I You would like to travel at a ■third of a cent a mile, but you ■vote to pay three cents (average.) I You would like to buy coal at fc1.40 a ton, but you vote to pay P 7.00. I You would like to buy oil at ■three cents a gallon, but you ■rate to pay ten cents. ■ Free trade England has a ■terrible panic. I High protection Germany has ■a terrible panic. I High protection United States liad a terrible panic in 1873. ■The tariff has nothing to do with fcanics. Don't be fooled with ■tariff talk. ■ The two old parties propose to ■trown the outcries of a plundered people with the uproar of a Kham battle over the tariff, so ■hat. capitalists, corporations, ■national banks, rings, trusts, ■watered stock, the demonetization of silver and the oppressions pf the usurers may all be lost ■light of. II The U. S. Census shows that

each ablebodied worker produces 810.50 in wealth per day. Under Democratic and Republican rule they got less than $1.05 each per day. The $9.45 goes to railroads, corporations, trusts, Shylocks and robbing syndicates. The People’s Party is founded on justice; composed of men from the common walks of life. We invite all who way be in favor of our principles to unite with the Peoples Party in their effort to secure a just Government. For further information and People’s Party Literature address. F. G.
