Don't be a “yellow dog." There are lots o< calamity howlers now. Money makes the elephant (g. o. p.) dance. The republican party is no longer republican. This is the year to vote for Katie and the babies. The policy of the republican party is to please England. Every gunholder ought to vote against the bondholder. Hobart is the man who has the bar’l. Mark Hanna has one also. McKinley ought to be advertised as the advance agent of poverty. The republican party cowardly bows to the British system of finance. McKinleyism was repudiated in 1892. Will the people swallow it now? Nothing can be plainer than that McKinley is Wall street’s candidate. As long as banks control the currency we will have periods of depression. The abolition of interest would soon free the world of debt and debt slavery. The democratic party is divided against itself and cannot give us fret silver. The republican party is goldbug all the way through; it even had a Jew to pray for it. Paper money bottomed on taxes is the safest and most convenient money for the people. The trouble with the democrats is that they are better reformers out of office than in office. ■ The democratic party has attracted attention to itself chiefly by the blunders it has committed. About the only enthusiasm in the old parties now is from the fellows %ho draw the salaries—or expect to. According to old party logic God made the earth and the good things thereof for a few human hogs to enjoy. The constitution denies to the states the right to issue money. Then why should the privilege be granted to the banks? Have you the names of the populists who tried to steer the democratic con vention at Chicago? Put them down for future reference. The record of the democratic part. Is against free silver,, and tlv;'r prcro i es have been violated so often the they amount to nothing. A party that has thrown up its owr promises eleven times can hardly enroot the populists to swallow the prom i3es. party and all, at one gulp. The political pot boiled over a li"! a St. Louis—and it is getting f ‘he time. T},p.re»a e-c'-t r ..... old party potatoes get burned h:s r .'l

The gold power is gr-isoing, u• pulous, and will hesitT* n- - continue its clu s ch upon the throat o’ labor. When you vote with either o'J party you vote with it. There is no longer hny doubt as to the republicans being in favor of a gold standard. .There is no Lincoln renublicanism in this. Now le»- the true republicans come on 1 of that party. According to rfpnUUcan logic it is perfectly proper to print paper money to pay men to shoot other men. but it would be all wrong to print it to pay n '" n for constructing public highways. Nice logic, that! Where is the democrat who said four years ago that if his party got a chance to relieve the people and did not do it he would never vote the ticket again? Most of them are eating their words and chewing a free silver cud. The success of the anti-gold standard men would of course result in a panic as Jackson’s veto of the United States bank bill did—but that would only prove the power and unscrupulousness of the banks and the necessity of their abolition. * When you hear a democrat trying to lay the blame on Cleveland for his party not passing a free silver measure just remind him that a democratic congress never gave Cleveland a free coinage bill to sign. That knocks the wind out of them. Besides that, the democratic party gave jis Cleveland. Three years ago the goldbug bankers raised the cry that it was the Sherman law and the compulsory coinage of silver that was driving gold out of the country. The law was repealed and silver coinage stopped, but since that time gold 'has oontinued to leave the country as rapidly as ever, and bonds have been issued to the amount of 1262,000,000, and the end is not yet. Now, to every sensible man who is not as blind as a bat, politically, it i s evident that the goldbugs either lied or did not know what they were talking about. The preponderance of evidence ft that they lied and that they are still lyln*.
