People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 June 1895 — FEARS A POPULAR ELECTION [ARTICLE]

FEARS A POPULAR ELECTION

Read the following from the plutocratic Chicago Record, the conservative, non-partisan, hypocritical sheet, that never expresses its honest opinion on any subject, but by this paragraph it is plain to be seen where it stands on the silver question, else it would not fear the righteous indignation of the people, who are determined, despite the Anglo-American conspiracy, to restore silver: “There is reason to fear that only a small proportion of the men who will be called upon to vote on the silver question in 1896 know what it is all about. The question is one of the most difficult with which political economists have to deal and one upon which no intelligent opinion can be formed without long study. It is unfortunate that such a question will have to be settled by a popular election. ”
