The intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1887-1891, 1890-11-01
VOTE FOR MR. TARSNEY.

AS we have frequently pointed out
II 10 natural and easy indeed inevitable,
that Mr.. Tarsney should materially
agree with the farmers and laborers'
union. Just as natural and easy as it
is unnatural and difficult Tor Mr..
Twitchell to do 80, for the reason that
Mr.. Tarsney's party Is in accord with
the farmers and laborers' union while
Mr.. Twitchell's party is in antagonism
thereto.
Mr.. Tarsney's party opposes national
banks, favors an increase of the
amount OF money, favors free coinage
of silver, favors lover federal taxes
and economy in public expenditures.
Mr.. Twitchell's party is responsible
for the exiptence of the national banks,
and continues to defend them as neces-
sary for the future when to do SO
involves the principle that a public
| debt is a public blessing; 1t Is opposed
to any expansion OF the circulating
medium, because 1t is q tool OF concen-
tra,ed wealth, which desires that
money shall be scarce and dear; 1t is
opposed to tree coinage Of silver, which
IL has twice netized, first in 1878,
and again in 1890; it Ia the champion
of high taxes, which, despite the
protests of Mr.. Blaine, the Globe Dem.
ocrat, Mr.. Plumb and a few other
of It's more rational leaders, 1t again
raised in 1890, unnecessarily, and when
Il had inst come into power with all
overlooking treasury, money sayed 10
the people by democratic care and
thrift; it is a party of reckless and
wauton extra, agance, as is u~ndeniably
proven by the fact that coming into
power q few months ago with u sur
plus in the treasury Of n hundred
million dollars it is already facing
deficit, which it cannot avoid except
by eating into sacred funds which II
has no right to touch.
Weigh the two parties well, voters
of Lafayette county: Contrast Cleve'
lands proposed tariff with the exorbi-
taut one made by Mr.. Mckinley; con
trast Cleveland's frugalitY- 800 ,OOO,'
900 90 surplus-with the Harrison
Reed--McKinley result OF deficit
contrast Cleveland, bigger than the
politicians, q fearless, Independent
executive, with the poor, puny ,insignifi
cant creature who has succeeded him
and who is the laughing stock OF th'
| able men Of his own party. Asi
Yourself whether II 10 more burden
that you need, or relief from those yo'
have, and if It il the latter 60 to tn
polls next Tuesday and vote for job
G. Tarsney, even though you neve
Q voted q democratic ticket before.
: 1t is time for you to be a man; I
: shake of the preIudices OF the pas
They tell you to vote as you shot, som
of you, but they fail to point out I
Il you that yop are being shot In th
back by the monopolists and polite,
> money thugs, whose rapacity and ras
cally means of retaining power are
greater menac to free governmer
to-day than all the anarchists an
communists from the Penobscot TO th
Golden Gate-the money thugs, VIII
as MI. Schurz points out, are making
our country rich and rotten. Th
= Roman citizen was once as prouI
OF his republic as we are OF ours. Hi
y tory tells us how 1t fell-it became ric
" and rotten. The money of the aris.o
e Gratis corrupted first themselves an
q then the ~plebeians. Now we have q
n aristocracy of wealth, created by Ii
: class legislation of the republican part!
which unblushingly buys the success
of that organization from the SAL
% culoaes and canaiue which are alway
ic tor sale, and which in 30 many place
b hold the balance of power, especial
10 In the slums and dives OF the citiel
where they are known. and sough
10 and bought by such men as Filley oil
Dudley.
Ia The p~erpetuity OF republican institr
N lions depends upon the rebuke OF Il
II party of the rich and rotten. Nj
n Twitchell represents it; Mr.. Tarsn'
opposes It. Vote for Mr.. Tarsney.
