Vote the guns oat of plutocracy’s hands. ■—■i——— Give the republicans a chance. Of course.' The trouble with the democratic party is, it can’t be democratic. Another fool has been found in congress who says God made money. The democratic party has had its j chance and now it has its record. The boss financiers are talking of | calling another international farce. The idea of people petitioning, whore they have a right to demand —absurd The gold standard don’t appear to | restore “parity,” “confidence” nor pros- : perky. I The democratic party committed sui- : cide —and, of course, the whisky trust ; busted. Congress has turned it all over to Grover, and he will “soak” the country to Rothschild. That man Sovereign of the Knights of Labor is a fighter. Success to him and his followers. Let us abolish bank government, and institute government banking and a people’s government. S The currency question can be made the leading issue without abandoning the Omaha platform. He who says the greenback is not good money is not a good man, nor a good American citizen. Why not issue some more bonds? Go deeper in debt and save our credit. Where is the foolkiller? King Grover is despondent. His house of lords and sleight-of-hand performers refuse to perform. President Cleveland’s . patriotism seems to be of the same brand as democratic prosperity—non est.

Government ownership of railways is foolish unless private ownership of government be first abolished. Wonder if Rothschild gold will stay in the treasury any longer than any other brand of the cowardly stuff. The present gang of rulers in”thii country w r ould have the national financial policy dictated by Rothschilds. Coxey’s plan is better than any or all of the currency plans proposed by the bankers and their tools in congress. Suppose that machines performed all the w’ork and capitalists pocketed all the profits—then what would workmen do? When free silver men want to vote with a free silver party there is only one way to do it —that is to vote with the People’s party. All money held solely for speculative and lending purposes, is in enemy of and a constant drain on all the useful people of the nation. The enormous sum of $2,500,000,000 worth of personal property, owned by residents of the state of New York, annually escapes taxation. The process of starvation always makes a man feel like fighting. It’s a dangerous thing to have thousands of men in a rich country in a fighting humor. You said you would give them a chance and if they did not do something you would never vote the ticket again. Were you lying or were you in earnest?

If it is true, as the learned oracle of Yale College announces, that “th* social classes owe each other nothing," why not abolish the law and have a reign of "dog eat dog ” Just think of Bill McKinley making a speech in commemoration of Abraham Lincoln. That is just what he did at Albany, N. Y., on Lincoln’s birthday, Feb. 12. What a mockery. The manufactures have met together ,at Cincinnati and organized for the express purpose of fighting labor organizations, acording to their own statement. Laborers should prepare for defense. Tom Reed wants the republican nomination for President in 1896, and he has just put himself on record by voting for gold boi'c’3. The Populists are in favor of hia nomination and everlasting defeat. Duke Pullman seems to have a supreme contempt of court, notwithstanding the services it has rendered him in the evasion of justice. He refuses to appear as a witness and should be sentenced to jail. The Knights of Labor, notwithstanding their defeat in an attempt to enjoin the treasurer from issuing bonds, are still on deck, and have employed eminent legal talent to test the validity of bonds already issued. Whoge Fault Wag It? Working men! let us as>: you a question: Who beat you in the Brooklyn strike ? Was it the militia or was it your own kind of people who took the places of tb,e strikers? Think this out and then tell us you are not a set of idiots. Why don’t you all get together and vote together? Don’t you know corporations will continue to be on top so long as the ranks of labor are divided? There is no better way to keep labor divided than on union and nonunion lines. —Denver Road.
