People's Pilot, Volume 5, Number 39, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 April 1896 — Page 4 Advertisements Column 1 [ADVERTISEMENT]

The Pilot to June loth for 10 cents. r subscribers only. Trial subscriptions stop when out. Where is uoi. Bill Morrison’s boom? The national dish, after the conventions, will be crow. Direct legislation is the worm rail of a union reform fence. All class legislation in this country 18 in favoi of the rich. A vote for either old party is a vote to Indorse its past record. Old party financiering—improve your credit by,going deeper in debt. Why do bankers want to issue the ■ioney, if there is no profit in it for them? Not the form, but the manner of administration is what makes good government. The “protective” tariff is paternalism —-yet republicans protest against paternalism. All agree that times are hard, but Grover has managed to squeeze out several million dollars. We could spare a few lawyers and bankers out of congress, but the two old parties don’t seem to think it. When the people have a direct vote It will be Impossible for C. P. Huntington, or any other thief, to buy legislation. In the month of February the government coined 1,500,000 cheap, 50cent silver dollars —for campaign purposes, no doubt. It is an old saying that “children and fools tell the truth.” Surely the papers that are denouncing Tillman will at least admit that he told the truth. The corporations and trusts are spending thousands of dollars booming McKinley. This is enough to prove that he is not a friend of the people. The Kansas republicans take no stand on the money question; they simply declare their willingness to take anything that comes from the national convention. What is our civilization coming to when the “lovers of Jesus” teach the military science of murder in the theological schools and even in the Sunday schools? It seems as though nearly every prominent Texas democrat Is bidding farewell to his party and joining the populists. They are also coming from everywhere. The anti-option bill was killed by the republican vote in the house. This is equivalent to saying that the board of trade and bucket shops can go on with their gambling. There are plenty of men in the two old parties who have principle and honesty enough to get out of them, but they haven’t got the courage. They are apparently waiting to be kicked out. All the monopolists, national bankers, railroad kings, coal and iron barons, trusts and combines are in the two old parties. Are you in there, too, voting with them? If so, isn’t it about time you were getting out?
