Labor creates all wealth and pays for everything. Your head was given you for the purpose of thinking. “Harmony” is the devil’s wail against being disturbed. “The advance agent of prosperity”— that’s a good one. The man who talks about a 50 cent dollar is a demagogue. Now is the time to circulate reform literature. Let all help. We have arrived at a crisis. Put your shoulders to the wheel and work. No man is under obligations to submit tamely to a wrong in his own party. Free silver with bank control of the currency would do but little or no good. You are poor now but you will be poorer than this if we don’t win this victory. The silver question is in danger of being slaughtered in the house of its friends—talked to death. If God is our common father, then all men are brothers, and some men treat their brothers very shabbily. Self Interest is the only politics which the rich have, and they use the “yaller dog” voters to help them get richer. President Cleveland began his “civil service reform” work after he got the positions all filled with democrats. Most of the politicians who are talking so much about bolting will curl up on the floor after national convention. The coinage of the whole silver product of the United States would not be sufficient increase of the currency to keep pace with the growth of population.
