Where is justice? i Rush along your prosperity. Debs is in jail and the people are thinking. The People’s party is the anti-mo-nopoly party. The plutes are going to Europe to spend their “prosperity.” A majority of the governments in the world own their own railroads. The bankers in this country have caused more suffering than anything else. The British ought to be made to evacuate New York and Washington city. The more the democrats try to settle the silver question the more unsettled it becomes. Anything declared by government to be a legal tender in payment of debts is money. The bankers and money-shavers are the “men who control” democratic politics in Kentucky. Free silver will not drive the British out of this country, nor will it restore to the people their rights. The democrats rotten-egged Ralph Beaumont in Texas. This is on a “parity” with the party. Educate the masses on the money question, and don’t allow the silver issue to obscure everything else. There will be no silver lining in the next National Democratic platform: it will be a gold bug affair or a straddle. The bankers think it an imposition to have to pay one per cent for the money they loan to the people at ten per cent.

The Memphis silver convention was composed principally of democrats who* are clamoring for free silver inside of the party. The free silver democrats in Kentucky will have an opportunity to vote for free silver candidates only in the People’s party. There are some questions which laws and courts won’t settle.. Chattel slavery was one of them and debt slavery may be another. Cleveland never loses an opportunity to appoint a corporation lawyer to a position where the interests of corporations can be served. The republicans are indorsing Cleveland’s administration by adopting his policy in their platforms. The democrats in Kentucky have followed suit. The men who want free silver “inside the Democratic party” are the same fellows who wanted it three years ago and voted for Grover Cleveland. This year the western and southern democrats are telling us what great tyrants and usurers the gold bugs are —but next year they will be voting with them. The democrats are passing free silver resolutions this year, and next year they will be voting for gold bug candidates. This shows that the party is not to be trusted. There were many genuine friends of free silver at the Memphis convention, but the majority of delegates who attended will vote for a gold bug if he is nominated by their party.

Democrats and republicans who are still harping on getting free silver inside of the party, are only lackey-boy for the gold bugs. They will vote for the gold bugs when nominated. What the silver democrats ought to do is to sue for a divorce from the gold bug wing of the party and let that element join the republicans. It would push out the honest voters in the republican party. The bond syndicate is still taking care of the reserve $100,000,000. Their contract for protecting it expires October Ist. but it is thought that a new deal will be made with them by another issue of bonds. It is ho credit to the courts to say that they are the most popular with that class of people who have amassed their wealth by methods which would be called stealing if it was not legalized by special legislation. . Olney, a corporation lawyer, at the liead of the president’s cabinet, and and Debs, the friend of the people, in jail. This is the kind of government the people are submitting to. The democrats gave it to us this time. The democrats of Texas are resorting to rotten eggs for argument. It is as respectable as any kind they Can. offer,'fully as pure as the cause J they represent, but on account of the ’ disgusting smell, they should not be used in the presence of ladies. the democrats would pass resolung themselves to vote for did not favor the free and inage of silver at the ratio >d then a resolution pledg-es-to stick to that pledge be some sense in holding
