The Poor Mans Ballet Must Go.

The policy OF the republican party
as explained by Kasson in the North
American Review for September and
endorsed by the leading organ Of
that party in Iowa, is arousing the
people from their long sleep. The
majority OF republican voters had
not dreamed that the real purpose
of this party was to disfranchisc the
poor, but now it is all out. It cam
not be explained await is printed
in black and white. The plan is to
Austrianize America. Begin with
the cities. where our most dangerous
monopolies all head, disfranchise the
poor, that will take away their only
powers OF defense and give all the
monopolies ten times their present
power for evil. What next? OF
course the same argument that would
disfranchise the poor in our cities
would do the same for the poor ev-
erywhere, and the job once begun
could be carried out with bribery
and the army, until no poor man in
America could vote. A thousand
thanks to Kasson and the Register
for tearing off their mask, for ex-
planning the real purpose OF the par
ty to the people.
This article preceded Kasson's trip
to New York to raise money to help
Allison through.
The Register said it was timely"
Mr.. Kasson can now point Wander
bilt, Gould and others to that article
and the endorsement OF the Register,
and say, Here, gentlemen, is our
plan, you can trust Allison and all
the rest OF us now upon this issue.
We are with you gentlemen for the
Acknowledgement of the poor, now
give us some fundsl"
Very timely, Mr.. Register. It is
now expected that abundant money
will come from eastern monopolies
to pull Allison through.
Allison must be desperate when
his tools find it necessary to advocate
DISTINGUISHING the poor.

lison and the Register, should be

Moines. His name should be Missed
and groaned whenever heard by all
men who believe in the Declaration
OF Independence and the constitution
OF the Urited States. He should find
the atmosphere OF free Iowa too hot
for him in the future. His motto is
down with the poor.
