widespread calamities and this general
distress we scout the Presidents pill tor
panics, more initiation, more subsidies,
more balloonipg, and we point the coun.
try to the true remedy and cure In tried
and historic principles Of the old Democ'
racy, applicable throughout our national,
State and municipal lite, which limit and
localize most Ze. .lously the powers en-.
trusted to public servants, which intorce
honesty and trugslity in public and pri'
vate affairs, which prescribe equal taxa.

the farmers Of the United States
the right hand Of hearty fellowship In
their Just resistance to the actions OF mo
nopollsts, and their just demands for these
great reforms. !
