Pull Together as One Man.

rrOU thc St. LOUIS DlalhtCn.
Voters, arouse! The issues of the cam
paign have been presented to you. You
have had ample opportunity to study and
know them ALTO enable you to under
stand the difference between the prnci
pies of the two old spoils parties and the
National party which represents the peo-
| ple-and at the same time your indivld-
ual, and the country best interests.
The lines have been drawn and the pos
ition of all parties clearly defined. So far
as the Republican and Democratic parties
are concerned, in national view there is
no difference upon the great question of
the hour finance. They are both hard
money. So the issue virtually is, on one
side the labOrer, the farmer, the mechanic,
the conscientious business man and manu-
facturer, while on the other, which both of
the old parties coalesce with and represent,
are the bankers, the bond holders and
the moneyed power of this country as well
as imperial Europe.
For years the hard-fsted ''sons of toll
have not deposited their ballots for their
own interests-not at all, but fOrthe inter-
ests of, and at the dictation of the ma.
bobs, the moneyed aristocracy, of the
| land. They have voted the bread out of
their own mOuths-the mouths of their
families, their wives and children, to build
up and enhance the value of money of the
banker and bonds holder and which cOnse-
quently only fastened the chains of servi-
tude more firmly about their own limbs,
with the tendency moreover, not to elevate
but to degrade labor.
Nationals, Greenbackers, labOring men,
you who earn your living by the 'sweat of
your brow" do you propose at the coming
election to vote for your own, your cOun-
try's interest, or for the interests and at
the dictatiOn OF the wealtly monOpol,ts
of the land? 1t would seem that grand
chorus of voices from al. the mills and
work Shops-from the mines and the farms,
would through the ballot box on the 18th
of November, with one accord, say mo,
never
Be warned! The old party leaders are
adrOit-they are cunning-thcy are cx-
pericnced-they are selfish. while the
great mass of voters are meducated in
that direction-unsuspecting The OPP
position have wealth and leisure to con-
splre against your interest, and for them
selves, while you toll for bare existence.
So if You expect to triumph to overcome
Il power that seeks wealth and ease at the
cost of your labor, economy and hard life,
you must work together; You must pull
together as one man.
Yes, pool your issues, allow no little
or petty prejudice to prevent you from
voting the National Cirecnback labor ticket
not for the candidate specially, though
he may be unobjectionablr, but vote for
principle; vote for your own individual
interest, vote for your family, which the
capitalists, represented by both the Dem
ocratlc and Republican leaders. are, by Il
false line Of policy, trying to starve-yotc
the National Greenback Labor ticket, and
you will at the same time vote for your
manhood, your honor, justice and right.
Follow this admonitiOn; and when the
sun goes down on the evening of the 18th
of November, aside from the satisfaction
of knowing you did your duty, you vii
receive the hearty thanks and congratula-
tions of tens of thousands of people out Of
employment, deprived of the means of
making living and on the verge of star
vation, as the result of Il financial policy
which for five years has eliminated in
making the rich richer and the poor
poorer made bankruptS out Of debtors;
bcggars out of the labOrers
