TWENTY THOUSAND rRAMPs TO EVERY
MILLIONAIRE.

MILLIONAIRE.
What an absurd proposition. This would
make one fifth of our people tramps. 1t
is an insult to our country. But speaking
about tranps, the greenback party from
Gen. Weaver down, is . set of political
desd beats and tramps.
Tie greenbacS party started out with
fat money in 1878. Any man Who will
read the speech Of Judge Rice and the
platform of The greenback party in 1880,
will at once observe that they have shifted
their base until Judge Rice writes himself
down rs in favor Of single standard. and
that of gold. This is but pre.ext and
trey do not expect to accomplish any such
foolisnness as they claim.
lam in favor OF . system of laws that
will protect all classes and am opposed to
all laws VII Oh will cripple one industry
to build up another.
The national banking system, the pres
ent tariff system, and land grants and sub
sides are all the creations Of the republi-
can party.

1t is not necessary for me to solicit re-
publican votes in this campaign, but j
would advise all republicans that if they
cannot vote for me to refrain from voting
at all. and thus take the measure OF the
greenback party in this canvass, and ascer-

They are more like pack of coyotes than
anything kow Of. One makes more noise

point the speaker related an appropriate
and humorous anecdOte. Continuing, he
said that they made more foolish asser-
tons. based on sheer nonsense, than any
people he had ever known. In proof OF
This he read an eA;rac, from Captain ALL
dredge's recent speech at Green Ridge on
the national bank question. All that the
greenbackers want is Office, and they are
ready to combine with either democrats or
republicans to attain this end. Here in
Pettis county they have combined with
the republicans, while in Hickory county
they are allied with the democrats, thus
being perfectly anfagonistic.
Capt Alldredge tells you that he is a
farmer. He has not done two days work
in four years. shook hands with him on
entering upon this canvass. and his hands
are as soft as a wOman's. do not ask you
to vote for me because am or am not a
farmer. Any man who will attempt to
