Where’s your prosperity? How are you going .to vote next time? The government must be restored to the people. The “deadbeats” are still fighting the income tax. Jerry Simpson is mentioned for governor of Kansas. Why not turn the whole thing over to the bankers? We must educate for after the storm, as well as agitate for its coming. The country was “redeemed” by thq republicans in gold standard men. Finance, Land and Transportation are the trinity of industrial salvaTion. Plutocracy seems determined to have the bonds paid either in gold or blood. Workingmen have no business in the militia. Let plutocracy do its own killing. More money without more justice to the common people won’t solve the problem. . The leaders of both old parties are in rebellion against, the government of the people. • The Populists in congress stand solidly united against the golden serpent on every occasion. The union of all the working people at the ballot box is the only union that can succeed. » Populists in confess don’t vote to secure the indorsement of old and New England bankers. A single signature with a stub pen will enslave a natiou- and Grover Cleveland stands ready to sign. A labor saving machine that is not owned by the laborer himself, or the general public, is a labor starving machine. , Boys, don’t let yojir congressmen remain in ignorance of the situation among the comon people. Write them every week. What Grover and the bankers want is a perpetual debt, a means of forcing producers to support idle and useless blood suckers. The difference between the world now and the condition of the before the creation is that now it is all form —and still void. And now it develops that Liliitokalani is an anarchistess—and probably Grover knew it all the time. This is a pretty “how are you.” The republican congress is pledged to the policy of Grover Cleveland, and the whole country will be pledged to Europe with gold bonds. Populist papers should not advertise, club with, or send in subscribers to plutocratic papers, at any price, daily, weekly, monthly, or any other way. Let the millionaires handle their own killing machines. Workingmen should keep out, and be prepared to defend themselves in case of emergency. Redeemed —yes; Kansas was redeemed, by electing a banker governor and sending a railroad attorney to the senate —Colorado was redeemed and sent Wolcott. Even Breckinridge was disgusted with President Cleveland’s financial bill and voted against it. But that only proves the bill worse, and won’t, save Breckinridge. Congress has voted a half million dollars to lay a cable to Hawaii, so that an anxious public in America can always have fresh news of how the robber Spreckels is treating his victims. It is intimated by the boss financiers that the syndicate which handles the last issue of bonds will clear six million dollars, on negotiating the sale alone. Wonder how much King Grover, gets. In Nebraska, a few days since, a bank cashier attempted to go republican—that is to fail —but the inhabitants of the town in which he resided objected. He went to kingdom come, via. hemp.— Dawn. A Minnesota “roaster” by the name of Foster has “cornered” the egg market of the United States, and proposes to run the price up to 50 cents a dozen to city consumers. May he live on rot-! ten eggs the balance of his life. Every patriotic hen in America should have a peck at his eyes. Bob Ingersoll pops up and says “Populism is insanity”—and yet the sensational ass writes letters once in a while about the wrongs of the people that are thoroughly Populistic. The only sure thing about Bob is that he prefers notoriety to a consistent course of seeking the truth. The professional tramp and the idle rich belong to the same class morally—one living in the filth of beggary, the other in the corruption of dissipation. If there is any difference, it is in favor of the tramp, who does not murder and impoverish others in his selfish laziness as does the rich idler. King George and all his hired Hessians could not make our patriot forefathers pay 6 cents a pound tariff on tea to support the government, but W. W. Astor lives in Lunnon and draws $5,000,000 a year off the American people in the shape of taxes and they pay it and don’t say a word. Truly the lines of rich men have fallen in pleasant places in these modern days of asinine Americanism.—Coming Nation.
