Our next President, Uncle Sam,
having cleaned out the Rings, and re.
duced the taxation from sixteen tC
eight millions in New York, will dc
the same good thing for the Nation al
large. rsg
Workingmen, hard times come upon
you because your servants were steal.
ing your money instead of wisely and
economically managing your affairs.
Workingmen, the Republican ad.
i mlnistration has so managed your az.
fairs that your furnaces aud workshops
have been closed, and in every county
and State the Sheriff has been busy
selling out the farmer, the merchant,
and the mechanic.
Workingmen, while poverty has
come to you, the great army of Office
holders raised up by the Republican
party has grown rich. That is where
all the money is gone. They go into
Office poor men, and then they spend
more money in single week than their
years salary amounts to. a.a
Workingmen, unless there is some
thing in the principle of a party, why
should you 60 to the polls at the bid
ding of any set of men to vote the tick
ct they make. The Republican declar-
alton of principles at Cincinnati en-
dorses and approves Of Grant and the
Grant administration.
Workingmen, the party that APP
proves OF Grantism means to continue
Grantism and its reign of rings and its
robbery of the people, if it gets the
chance. TO vote the Republican ticket
next November will be to vote your
self out of work, to vote for poverty
for your family, and an increase of
riches to the eighty thousand Office
holders the Republican party has set
up to rule over you.
Workingmen, the hope of the poor
man is in Tilden. As he drove the
robbers out of New York he will drive
them out of power in all the States of
the Union.
Uncle SAM the Reformed Candi-
date for Presidency, told the people at
Cooper Institute, New York, in 1871
that he would stand by them, and this
was his pledge:
BY the blessing of God according
to the strength that is given to me, II
you will not grow weary and faint, and
falter on the way, will stand by your
side until only civil government shall
be reformed in the city of New York,
but until the State of New York shall
once more have pure and irreproach-
able judiciary, and until the example
of this great State shall set up to be
followed by all the other States.
Workingmen, you know that Samu-
ell j. Tilden nobly redeemed his pledge.
Demagogues and Office seekers and
party journalists may say what they
will, though they belle him every hour
| in the day between now and next No
vember, and circulate tons of pam
phlets defaming the fearless, honest
Reformer, they cannot wipe out the
fact that he drove the thieves out Of
power in New York, and has made the
taxes Just now half what they were
when he became Governor.
WorkinQmeu, Samuel j. Tilden is
the man to restore prosperity to the
country. to replace extravaganza by
economy and for a den of thieves to
give us an Honest Government.
Workingmen, consider these facts.
Mr.. Hayes is at best a negative man.
He is the candidate of platform
which endorses and approves of the
Grant administration. There can be
no hope of Reform under man, nota-
bly, friend and admirer of Grant,
who stands upon platform which ap-
proves of Grantism.
Workingmen, SamuelJ Tilden says
to you, BY the blessing of God, ae-
cording to the strength that is given
unto me, If you will not grow weary
and faint and falter on the way, 1 will
stand by your side until the Govern
ment Of the United States is Reform
ed, until it is economically and honest
ly administered, and until the rogues
who have robbed you and have impoy-
erished the country are punished for
the crimes they have committed.
Workingmen, don't work in this
election contest to keep pliticians in
Office who care nothing for you. Work
for your own benefit and that Of your
families, that your taxes may be light.
er and our industries be prosperous
through the election of the peoples
candidate, our Uncle SAM
