England needs a good lickin'. Vote your principles if you have any. A ‘‘solid South” is a thing of the past. Have you got your county organised into legions? Partisan prejudice is a rich pasture for demagogues. The Monroe doctrine seems to have gone glimmering. We ought to ask England if we can celebrate the Fourth of July. The plutocrats seem to forget that there is a debtor in the premises. Nicaragua has concluded to allow England to steal $75,000 from her. A good crop of guns would not be a bad thing for patriotic Americans to raise. The banks are going to try to force the gold standard system on the country. Money is the power that rules this nation. How long will the people submit? It is only a question of how many fools the phrase “sound money” will catch. If the goldbugs win this fight nothing short of revolution will free the people. The goldbugs are now busy preparing ready-made editorials for the country press. The devil would stop that fight in the Democratic party, but he expects to get both gangs. r “Honest money” seems to consist In loaning cheap dollars and collecting back dear dollars. If this country is so rich and powerful why do we borrow money from an English syndicate? The Beef trust is doing much towards educating the people to fight all kinds of monopolies. There is no difference in the financtTi policy of the two old parties—both favor the rich capitalist. The capitalist wants bonds, the people want greenbacks—and the people are going to have them, too. The railroad corporations disobey the laws, but they go unpunished. Government ownership is the only remedy.

It will require the lifetime of this generation for the people to forget the shortcomings of the Democratic party. England will help make the next president of the United States, unless the people rebel against the old party machines. Cleveland's financial policy is that going deeper in debt improves our credit. In ordinary business it would greatly weaken it. The best that can be said of the Democratic party is, that it has placed itself where it can do but little harm for the nekt thirty years. • ' cri 4—L-U—;—_— , Dan Vbrhees is dancing around again on a free sjlver platform. Dan is altogether too unreliable to excite much confidence in his professions. Ex-Speaker Crisp has espoused the free silver cause, but he wants it through the Democratic party—which is the same as to say he is not much of a free silver man any way. The “sound money” for which the bankers are contending is a currency based on bonds, and that will draw a double rate of interest —one on the bonds and one on the currency. The cuckoos, having feasted at Grover’s pie counter, are now coming back home to roost, and declaring that they always have favored free silver. The fool people will likely re-elect some of them. . , The plutocrats seem to think that an “honest dollar” is one that will buy a great of the farmer’s product, but why the farmer should see it that way and vote for it is one of the things that are r pastfi‘nd!fifg > 6'dt. 1 1 A 1 '"V When the' Democratic party was in > power ifot'giVe u^'ThlSe'silver.
