lie wanted "Irotcclion," aud that is
the kind ol Perfection the people want.
They want better shelter and protection
for their homes aud families. They want
their clulhng aud all the nccessarcs ol
life "ptoleclcd" from the "dulies" ot II
large hord Of ''middlemcn" who neither
toll nor spin Except lic) but come be-
tween the toilers aud producers Of the raw
material and manufactured article for
"spoils" aud spells only, 10 create n "sur-
| plus" TO debauch the men whom we elect
to make national laws for us and create
this revenue from the actual necessares
Of life to debauch themselves with and
debauch your State law maker with in
the purchase Of their seats in that august
body commonly called the United States
| Senate.
The people wan protection from the
pernicious influence of the liquor traffic
upon the growing up youth Of the land,
and local, Stale and National legislation.
They want Protection from the insults
| =. 4 4 st. ~.
ing friends from that class Of Statesmen
who advertise for public office at their
annual memorial services and then claim
the voles OF the living comrade for such
service. They want protection for the
"surplus' of secret socielies TO prevent il
from being squandcred in banquets To
advertise Statesmen for Office, and held as
n sacred trust to be used for the afflicted
members in sickness, ETC., as was originally
designed.
They want every man, woman and child,
without regard 10 color or previous con.
tilion, to have free access to the PosioiliGes
of tins country, whether ON ST. Valentines
day, for love, or business purposes, (rhiS
IL what we tailed to secure nnder n Repub
lican Storm" Of government-which j.
why we "rIse to remark" and try to make
"our language plain" that we are AN ad
vocaie Of ProtecliUn.)
Our people wan, Protection from the
law makers that make laws to rob the
people instead Of laws TO protect them,
and protection against that class of pOliti-
clans who select law makers for tins spe-
cinl purpose.
Our people want Protection against the
Executors OF these laws, from Justice OF
the Peace up 10 the Supreme Court, and
dem and that the robbery of widows aud
cease. Aud demand that these officials
shall be selected with view TO dispense
the legitimate business that comes before
them for adjudication with Il view OF
reaching Justice and promoting harmony
and peace and protection TO the community,
instead of being selecied TO manufacture
business with view 10 robbery.
Our people want and are sadly in need
Of Protection from the political hessia M
, who reward with Office and emoluments out
OF the peoples treasury those only who are
willing 10 do the diity work for politi-
cal party-men whom nobody would trust
for moment in connection with their
own private business. They want the
Chinese bill amended so as to give these,
as we'll rs professional boomers, safe
passport and free transportation lowell,
that Is as far rs we wish 10 pursue them.
They want Protection against the po.
litical organs-misnRmed newspapers
whose only mission is TO manufacture lies
mislead tile people, cover up fraud and
divide the plunder with plundererS.
, Our people want and are much in need
and WILL sEcURE-if there is any virtue
or manhood leit-the Rights Of a citizen
, as guaranteed by our forei~thers who
, framed the Constitution of Ohio IN 1851
r and who guaranteed in the very first mr.,
icle and frat section of that document
under the pill OF rights, as folows:
SECTION l. All men are, by nature
free ~ and independent, and have GER
tain inalienable rights, among which nrt
those OF enjoying and defending (2) life
and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and
protecting property, (3) and seekiag and
r obtaining happiness and safety"
Here you have your rights clearly de-
fined. Anticipating, probably, that the
bottom to honesty and patriotism might
corrade and drop oul they still further
provided in the fourth feetion of the
same document how 10 project those
rights, as follOwS:
! "SEcTIoN 4. The people'have the right
i, to bear arms for their defen se and Sc
curity but standing armies, in time oi
peace. are dangerous tn liberty, and shall
not be kept up; and the military shall be
In strict subotdination 10 the civil pow
er."
The people want these political hes
sions who feel that their mission on
Garth is TO acquire wealth from the treas
ure OF that secured by the labor of other
brows to examine into their own con-
atiiutions and hv-lawR, and see about how
far they are of their base and in direct
conflict with the Constitution of OHIO.
This Constitution Of OHIO does not con-
ilict with the constitution Of 1902, nor the
National Constitution nor that OF the
higher law, which provides that ye shall
eat bread earned by the sweat Of your own
buws. You nust moi continue 10 sweat
under the harness to secure the bread earn
ed by other brows. 1t is unconstitutional.
This is why the people don't want 10
swap horses while crossing stream. 1t is
why they want Grover Cleveland, the man
OF destiny for this Republic at this crisis,
TO Protect them, for iour years more-a
man whose steadlast and honest purpose
, and pure administration has surrounded
him with ioriifcation 30 slrongSthat the
Doodle element in his own party crumbled
and disappeared every time illcnme in con-
