she protection Of government -irg
Ay greatest objection to the r.
publican party is that it 10.
only fosters and encourages monopo-
lies, but thA: is ffi;iol representatives.
as evidenced In Illinois. Kansas and Penn.
Eylvanis, are ever resdy to convert bY
commissions and authority private detec,
tive forces Ike Pinkertons into standir g
srnies, ready for pay to do the bidding Ct
these same monopolies. l still be-
iieve that the uesrer you get TO
ard the more you rely upon
the people for government, the better 1t
will be; and when cease to believe this
will De sgsinst all elections.
With 81 due difference to the opinions
Of others, it does seem to my mind that
this fall 8 man can't well see his way
clear to vote other than the Democratic
ticket. The Repu olicsn party is for high
taxes, big appropriations and horsepower
in the government. The Union Labor
party wants to buy all the rsil-
roads when it would take more money
than there is IN circulation to pay the an
Dusl interest on the purchase, AID when
Il would make q section boss "Pro voc
vice" bigger man than Grant ever WAS.
The Prohibition party wants to put
several constaples, male ead female, IN
every precinct whether the psopie want
them there or not.
IL does lock to me that under these
circumstance !. good citizen who lovsf
liberty mugt either vote the Democratic
ticket or take to the wo DIS.
II the farmers and lsborors oapLot keep
the Democratic party in the right track
when they compose three -f0urtas Of It's
voting Strength, what would they do
with pariy Of lhei- OWE? You would
have "5osses," "m:nipulators" sEd
rings il tins U1icn Labor party II 1t ever
go. siroDg enough to erj3y patronage.
II ica :stuirg aad lkborirg element IN
ths . mccyat:c psTty would attend Gil
It's c0,yen' Ions from precinct 10 state and
reweri t1ose zen who aspired to
pai;'icsl honGJs on political issueP, and
crush those who relied upon manipu.stion
ard corhi1stiors Ct questionable char
scter, toeTe would be no just Cause CT
complaint. The farmer ana labor!ng man
had better spend little money and time
on conventions taan to spend 1t in taxes
ard law suits. /, you can's make your
saddle sit lust RICH: on your old family
horse, tcke my word for it that 1t
won't 81. any more comfortable
on Few end f,isky colt.
The labori1g men and farmers can i'm
prove their condition by keeping the gov
eminent cor fined to It's legitimate func-
tiors, thereby circumscribing its expenses
and rendering the rate Of taxation, 60
laid as to be largely borne by them, hut
as long IS the water runs and the sun
shines, the mcde OF buying and the
amount Of tax, will only effect the cost
Of living, and not the price CT agricultural
products or rste Of wages pstd. There
sre abnormal conditions ceused
by "trus.s, nonopolies pro-
duce gambling, and sn abuse
Of governmental spoweI" tha. can AID
will be remedisd to their advantage.
When the U aion Lsbor parry proposes
TO acd to TIE already ,eaVy pension list,
ard create more duties snd Officers OF
government, 1t is preparing greater bur
dens for the people and, tightening the
reins of government. TIE further If we
get from the economy ard simplicity Of
the government as it WAS founded the
worse /. vii be for ell but favored few,
