The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-10-29
A LAST APPEAL.

A LAST APPEAL.
This is the last issue that will reach
our subscribers before the election.
The conclusions you arrive at after
election will be Of no consequence to
yourselves or the world for another
year. Only the ballot counts.
If we have not converted you before
this time, we can hardly hope to do so
now.
We believe that the Anti.Monopolist
will sweep the State on Tuesday next.
All our advices lead us to that conclu-
sion. We would like your aid.
That you suffer wrong and injustice
no man doubts. That you have suffer-
ed wrong and injustice for years dur
ing the regime of the Republican party,
is conceded. That the Republican
party has not done, or honestly attempt
ed, any thing for your relief is apparent,
to all.
Why then trust again to their broken
promises! Why tie your hands for six
years to come by again trusting them,
for your vote may decide Ramsey's de-
feat or his return to the Senate!
What do men do in desperate extrem-
tiles! They try new remedies. Who
is he that will let his house burn rather
than summon his neighbors, lest they
might rob him !?
ssThou would'st shun bear
But if thy path lay toward the raging sea
Thou DIST meet the bear i the mouth"
They tell US that if we don't submit
to Republican rule even at the cost Of
universal corruption and robbery, that
the South will rise in rebellion. If it
be so, is not the ruin o.
the North as much to US
as the ruin of the South But thu
charge is false. If you send Anti
Monopolists to Congress they will dc
what Minnesota wants, not what tn,
South wants. No politician willingly
commits political suicide.
And what will it profit us if, while
we leave the South to the mercy Of tn
thieves, we lose our own liberties TIL
signs Of the coming Empire multiply al
around US. The St. Paul Press of Oct
2oth quotes, without word of disap
proval, this utterance OF the Chicag
Times
in one way the gable on this subject viii
do no good; it will, in the end, enabl
} everybody to understand that for Presi
dent of the United States to stand for thir
term, or a fourth, fifth, sixth, or any. Othe
DRY and meaning OF our political constitu
ton, and that no rational or sensible objec
r ton can be urged against it.
And the Press also quotes this fron
the Louisville Courier-Journal
But if we are to act on a different line, Il
us act together, forcing the North to con
quer us and give US military government
2 or else do us justice. The government "
, have is farce. The .chole South prefer
! an empire, KING therefore, let us, if "
t are not going to be governed by peaceft
suggestions, compel the North BIZ A STAT
OF WAR which its whole energies will be N
:, CURED to suppress, TO CHANGE ITS FOR
y OF GOVERNMENT. toFhold the South as
}, vanquished province, to relinquish tt
{ revenues drawn from our prosperity, an
to turn us over to the negroes, bag and pas
gage, body and breaches. Let us crush OIL
the miserable lie which radicalism has keI
:. before the country and the world-that th
e is free country.
. Can We afford by misgovernmen
eonfiscation, destruction and univers
robbery, to drive the whole South
. this state Of feeling, to crush out libel
: ty and the love Of republican instit'
; tons: and to leave that section in Il
hands of despot, willing instrume1
to destroy our own liberties!
