ecntive.

The money power cUOIes the
House, making it a tail to the SEN

to tyranny, the destroyer OF civil
cation.
The money power is treacherous.

press.
The money power has crept into
the Church aud is besliming that
Eden OF hope.
The money power accomplishes
its ends by deceit.
The money power apes the truth
to establish sin.
With God on the lip, its heart Is
Satan's seat.
With public honor as its shibbo-
leth. it passes laws which libel all
honor"
With .spublic credit on its banner,
it has bankrupted the country.
The money power abets every
mean act known to the catalogue,
under the guise Of truth.
And turns the truth into lie to
deceive and ruin the people.
The money power for twenty years
has shouted, This must be done for
the good OF the people,"
The good of the people has been
its promise, the ruin OF the people
its cork.
The money power has the soul OF
a ghoul. and the greed Of q vampire.
The money power lives but to

poorer.
The money power knows no law

Not till there is a party formed
outside of both these parties and not
controlled by the money power, will

Be warned.
The cry Of the siren is already
heard.
Like the jackal, who, before at
lacking its prey, proclaims its peace
full habits, SO do these gregarious
jackals, who hunt in packs, proclaim
their love for the people,"
Their love is that OF the hyena
for the lamb.
Their warning is the hiss Of the
serpent as it fastens its fangs In your
flesh.
.Look out for betrayal
1.-THE lurid heavens declare it ev-
erywhere."
The republican Pilates and demo.
cratic Herods are now In the temple
planning the crucitixion Of another
Christ of humanity.
The House is full OF good promises,
big speeches and wind.
The Senate, where every trust has
been betrayed. every truth sacritic-
ed and the people sold, there is a
tempest.
The broad sword is unsheathed'-
And yon would think, If words in
that body meant anything, then,
Heavens come down our souls to greet,
And glory crowns the mercy seat.
But this is the song of Delilah, to
put you to sleep, SO that in your
dreams you may be shorn OF your
locks.
The Senate has denounced every
attempted wrong against the people
since the war;
Then enacted that acrOng into lac.
Let the good men in that body get
out OF it. Tor they are as much out Of
place in it as an innocent girl Is in q
Turkish harem.
A master, whose pictures shall last
az long as time, has drawn these ty-
rants, who promise "bread" but give
stone
1.-THE policies that result in cruelty
and the laws that Cypress in their
execution, are the policies OF deceit
AMI the enactments Of treachery."
The promoters Of such policies are
hypocrites and the authors OF such
laws are traitors. And this Is not
paradoxicai, for the advocates of vile
policies and the champions OF bad
laws have always proclaimed them
selves defenders Of the people.
Indeed. they have declared, with
almost infinite impudence. that what
they did was injurious to them, but
of the highest importance to the PEG.
pie.
These abnegating gentlemen are
aptly epitomized by the proverb:-

honey tongue, a heart Of gall
daniel Webster in 1888. How truly
the wenty years legislation from
the end OF the war to 1884, can be
set down as a honey tongue, a hear
Of gall!
On the 18th OF February, 1862, the
money power demanded two excep.

The infamous demand was de.

That act is as anti-American. is a:
