The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1876-10-05

neapolis, and many Of them, as St. Paul
republicans have told me, will vote
against DR.. Stewart, as they did against
King.
With the help Of King. and his office
holders, the Doctor was nominated for
Congress. In noirespect does he pos
sess the qualifications. which q con-
gresham ought to have, especially at
this time, and no mere party purpose en-
titles him to support, He is the candi>
date of Bill King and his office>holders,
and not of honest Independent voters Of
the republican party,
The other candidate put IN nomlna>
ton for congress, is Mr.. McNair. From
what I know about him, and hear from
others, who know him better than myself
l think we cannot do better for the inter,
ests of all the honest people of this dis
trict than to support him, and insure his
election. The greenback men can make
this certain. He is first class man, as
all who know him acknowledge. In
point Of ability he has no superior, in the
district. His integrity is unquestionable.
He is conscientious, hard working man
in the performance Of every trust and
duty. He has never been, like DR.. Stew
art an office seeker, or machine politi>
clan. Under the circumstances, we can
not afford to put him aside and elect any
such candidate as DR.. Stewart.
This is the way the Independent men
of all parties look upon this question.
In Hennepin county, whore Mr.. McNair
is best known,ihe will get not only the
support of the greenback men, but also
the votes of hundreds OF supporters of
Hayes and Wheeler.
l think, whatever may be our individ-
ual party feelings, that our true policy
is to vote for Mr.. McNair for congress
He has said openly, in the most positive
language, before myself and others,
that, if elected, he will work and vote
to secure the repeal Of the resumption
law land the repeal ofthe law which abol>
ished silver money, as q legal tender for
the payment of debts. These two laws
alone are enough to ruin all the debtor
class of this country. These two laws
cut the vitals out Of our honest industry,
and hand over the people of honest
work and regular business, as manacled
slaves, into the hands Of the money len>
ders who hold the immense weight Of
national, state and municipal bonds, and
bonds and mortgages upon individual
property, over the heads OF distressed
people and by these laws, this frightful
weight of debt WILL BE DOUBLED, and
whenlit falls, as it surely will, it these
laws be not repealed, the property and
substance of the people will be squeezed
into the strong boxes OF the capitalists of
the world. These greedy capitalists are
the cormorants who bought up congress
men like cattle, to pass these laws. Shall
we send the same sort of men to con-
gress any longer, to petpetuate such Laws,
because they call themselves republic
cans? Shall we longer march like
slaves to our misery, under the lash o.
office-holders? Just think for momen
what these laws were made for and
what they mean. They were made t.
enable the greedy millionaires whe
hold the bonds and mortgages, to exac
from the debtors, payment in coin. Fol
this, they abolish no. only all the green
backs. but all silver money, Except TO-
small change). and make gold the onl,
legal money TO pay debts. Just think o
it; few millionaires OF New York. cal
with these laws in force, make - cor
ner'' on the gold of this country which
will treble our debts. There are halt :
dozen millionaires, who can combine an,
make corner" on all the gold coin ir
the commercial world. Consequently
when these men strike the impendin,
blow, which they are sure to do, unles
these laws be repealed,-our condition
will be worse than that OF galley slaves
Anarchy and despotism. and militar
government may follow. but what car
these men who bought up congress t
: pass these laws. With the immense for
, tunes thereby accumulated. they ca
make the Republic an empire, and pur
chase patents of nobility and mar
tain . Standing armies to crush out 4
resistance, and then it viii be too late I
. lament our party madness and lost or
, portunities. Think OF this; think Of i
before it is too late!
