To Farmers.

For many years your votes have kept the
Republican party in power.
| The policy of that party has enriched and
protected the monopolies OF the country but
has it improved your condition?
| While the Goulds, Blaines, Dorseys, Elkins
Milcrs, Bradys, Cornells and the other mo.
nopolsts have become millionaires by the use
they have of your votes, have you, too, been
growing rich?
| While your votes have brought princely
incomes of hundreds and thousands of dol.
lars day to them, how has your daily in.
| come increased?
Four years ago you were appealed to, by
these monopolists who have captured the
Republican party, on the tariff scare, and
you were told that ruin and devastation
| would follow Democratic success, and that
prosperity and plenty would result from Re-
publican victory.
You voted for the policy of the sharks who
run the Republican party and how have you
been benefited?
Gould and Blaine and Elkins and Warner
Miller, and the monopolisis in your own vi
cinity have grown RICH but how is it with
you?
Is your farm worth more to day than it
was then?
Is it easier to meet your payments and
your interest to-day than it was then?
Do you get more for your butter, cheese,
grain, pork and other produce than then?
Do you get your clothing, groceries, tools
and what you have TO buy cheaper than
thenf
Have your taxes been reduced and expen-
ses lightened?
Does your daily toll do much more than
barely support you and your family?
Are the times good with YOU?
If not, is it not time for you to think of
your own interests and vote for your own
benefit rather than that of Mr.. Gould and
Mr.. Elkins and Mr.. Millionaire Blaine2
Your own experience ought TO prove to
you that some thing is wrong at Washing
ton. The policy of the past is at fault. Ex-
travagance and profligacy and careless meth
DDS have too long prevailed. The rich thrive
and the poor barely live A halt is necessa-
ry.
The farmers of New York know Grover
bring back the government at Washington
to simpler methods.
A poor man himself, his sympathies and
his belief lead him to enforce strict economy
in public administration
With him every dollar of taxation is
weighed as so much from the proceeds of the
toll of the people.
The farmers of New York know that when
its third city was suffering from the results
of extravaganza in its affairs, Grover Cleve-
land was called by his fellow citizens, ire
spective of party, to correct the abuse. They
know that so marked was his fidelity to that
charge that the people of the State at the
next election made him its executive by
1914 900 majority and the Republican paper at
his home said Buffalo loses the best mayor
it ever had" They know that with general
accord before he was nominated for Presi.
dent the people of this State and the newspa-
pers of all parties said cleveland is good
Governor" They know that his appoint
mcnts and his vetoes have received the praise
of all men. They know he has had the cour-
age of his convictions and his convictions
have been right. They know that every
measure promising aid to the firmer has re-
ceived his cordial support. They know that
he approved the bill to prevent the sale
of bogus butter, and that he is forcing oleo-
margarine out of competition with dairy in
terests. They know that, in every position,
he has been honest and true to the people,
and that under his guidance, the management
of affairs of the city of Buffalo was trans
formed from corruption and extravaganza to
honesty and economy, and his adminisl ration
of the great State of New York has won the
praise of all the people.-ADany Argus.
