You Deserve It.

A thing is right or wrong, no matter what you believe about it. All the people in the world ’believing a wrong would not make it right. All the people once believed the earth flat, but it was a globe just the same. All of you may believe, in the “intrinsic” idea of money, but it is a fallacy just the same and as easily disproven as the physical fact of the world’s shape, if you will but investigate. You are always more positive in a statement you have never studied, can give no valid reason for. than about things you have some knowledge. If a man disputed your; method of spelling a word you’d go to some authority to prove your position, and you would be foolish if he brought you equally good authority and more of them, if you should refuse to even look at them. But you do this very thing about political questions that involve your very existence. You, therefore, deserve' ‘ your present conditions, you deserve poor pay, di* charge from employment, poverty and misery. These pressing you hard enough, will cause you to use your reason or die, and if you remain willfully blind, and by It injure not only yourself, but thousands about you, your life is not a blessing but a bane. Read up.—Coming Nation. It the free-silver Democrats have halt as much backbone as the gold gang, they will leave the party, unless the National Convention will adopt a free silver platform, 'and nominate a free silver candidate. But most of them will knuckle down and follow the dictation of their Eastern masters, who control things with their money. , The Omaha platform cc”“f« the ma . terial economic questions of the day, and no party In this country can succeed much longer without adopting them. Let the People’s party stand firm on that platform.
