We’ve got ’em —statesmen (?). Education will rapidly follow organ- ( ization The people may be goaded to repu- ' illation. Capital, or property, is only crystallized labor. Where is Bland? He’s not at the “forks of the road." If you have “that tired feeling” take a little more of the gold cure. Every family ought to have a bond, but the majority have bondage. Bonds mean bondage, but Grover says we can buy prosperity with them. The platform “trimmer” is as bad as the platform “loader.” Watch them both. The popular sentiment was too strong against the bond- syndicate and it dissolved. It makes us tired to hear a man talk free silver while he remains in a goldbug party. All the gold in the world would not pay the interest on the world’s debts for one year. John Sherman and Grover Cleveland are two of the most despised men in the nation. If there are any democratic candidates for president, they haven’t come out of the woods yet. If you think this country is run by money, why don’t you have the manhood to protest against it? Keep it before the people that a majority of congressmen of both old parties voted to demonetize silver. The meeting of the National Democratic committee at Washington was more like a funeral than anything else. Oh, yes, the bankers know all about the money business! They now have the money and the people the experience. The gold wing of the Democratic party won the first fight by dictating the place for holding the National convention. Cursing Grover Cleveland won’t save the democracy or win a victory for the Populists. What we need is work and organization. C(hrist said. “Feed my lambs,” but the plutocrats are fleecing them and the church doesn’t seem to be doing much to prevent it. Let the free silver party organize; when we can see the size and color of the hoss it is plenty of time to talk about swapping. The delegates to the next People’s party National convention will make the platform; therefore look to choosing the delegates. It is costing a good deal to make our money “good in Europe," but then when we undertake to act the fool why not do it on h grand scale? Not one official out of a hundred who assists in robbing the people is punished for it, and all because we want harmony in the party, you know. Notwithstanding the daily assertions of the plutocratic papers that the silver agitation is dead, it is today about the, liveliest question in American politics
