Votesa
Votes, gentlemen, votes. This is the one thing
the vote Of patriot! How damning is the vote. Of
q fool! Have you votes to SELL? Apply 10 the Sc
cret bureau Of the party. Votes are rising in the
market every day. Be sure you do not sell too
cheap. When you sell your birthright when you
sell your country, when you sell the blood of he
roes slain on the field of strife when you sell the
liberties Of your children, be sure you do not sell
too cheap.
Do you love your friend more than the rights Of
the people? Vote for your friend and violate the
people. Do you love your party moro thnn good
COVER nment? Vote for y0nr party and down good

Industrial Union has spoken, and its voice is the
voice Of The people. No other spokesman have
they. 1t speaks in no uncertain words, down
whom yon will serve WIN you serve tie e. people,
will you servo the plutocracy If you are going
to selyour vote to the plutocracy do not sell too
cheap: Cleveland. Carlyle and Mills will tell you
Sherman will tell you what to do for tho other
side of plutocracy and the oigarchy. If you obey
either, You obey the oligarchy. The people have
spoken. More than three millions have spoken
and they speak for the remainder. II you obey
them, you obey the Republic. If you obey the
republic, you obey your rights, truth and your
More than ten thousand pumps situated in
every village and hamlet in this country are busily
engaged day and night in pumping IN garbage,
slime and lies to besmirch the peoples movement
No other love they know than that of the party.
No other laws they obey than those of plutocracy.
BY this they live, breathe and have their being.
Great is Diana Of the Ephesians Don't speak q
word against these gas-blowers and stump-suckers.
Their bread and butter is dependent on their call
fnn nil frnn Int
them Worship their little gods and heroes. Let
them howl for their great Diana, for if this Diana
be lost where, oh, where will they look for gain
Tens and tens 81 Of thousands with long quills are
are looking on with longing expectancy. You tap
their god and the howl will be repeated. Great is
Diana Of the Ephesians. Let them alone. Through
many trials and hardshlps they have succeeded In
gain. Who would blight q fond hope realized, or a
yanlting ambition cherished? Let them alone.
They are joined to their idols. Let them all 20
along together. Let them 60 with those who sell
the gas blowers and stump suckers who pump up
day and night filth reeking garbage to befou
those who do not bow to their idols. Let the vote
% in unity Very lifting Companions @ in this world World
and in the world to come. The plutocracy has
need for them. These are the instruments Of her
own choosing, and she will pay them we'll.
Come now, let us pass over the sea. We will find
the plutocracy on tho other shore. Sixteen thous-
and left America last week. 1t is hob-nobbing
with the aristoCrats and tyrants Of Europe. They
want to double the wealth Of the rich and halve
still sits in Washington afraid to speak word in
truth In behalf Of an oppressed people. A wink
from the money changers suffceth them. The
Government belongs to tho plutocracy, and the
tablished and they arc satisfied and gone to Europe
to voluputuato among the nobility there. They
carried millions Of solid gold with them, gift Of
the oligarchy. They will see fine time, and learn
much M, religion. They have passed over tho sea.
Sometimes beautiful American girl, noted for
her wealth, succeeds in capturing an impecunious
lord: Are you not proud of that7 Don't you
want America to raise young lords7 Sometimes
one of our millionaires captures an impeounious
actress. Are you not proud Of that? Don't you
want America to raise young actresses We have
more mtllionaires and more tramps than any other
nation under the sun. Is rot this something to be
proud Of? We have near fifty milllonaires in
Congress, thirteen farmers, one hundred and fifty
bankers, twenty-five partisan plutocrats Hero
we have something to strike the American dcyo-
ye poor and needy. Fall down on your knees and
implore the blessings Of the olgarchy before 1t
crushes you as milestone crushes gnat. Make
your peace and election sure, for you know not
gigantic power; BY robbery it has attained to this
high emi2ence. They nave robbed the people of
their inheritance, the power behind the throne.
They have robbed the people Of their substance BY
Dor of the poor, and doubling their burdens.
This oligarchy Is o gigantic. consolidated power.
On the party machine It rolls aud crushes all op-
position. The voice Of tho people is hushed Tic
or be forever fallen. There is manifested in some
parts of this empire factious opposition to the
rule Of the oligarchy.: Blind fools, don't you
know you are too weak and ignorant? DON'T you
know when these master lords shake their little
fingers at you you will shrink away in shame and
confusion. Break party ranks you had just as
we'll go and break your necks. It Is against the
laws Haye I not your m masters mustered u you in,
thousand potent engines loaded to the muzze to
drenoh In c0ntumely and disgrace all who do not
obey orders? Out With such desperation. Stick
who have gone to Europe. To your party belong
the grand moguls and oligarchs in Washington.
To your party belong the millionaires and the
newspapers. Stick to your party. Down with
this Is, iactious opposition to the oligarchy.
What audocity? What assumed rights hnye they
there? They should blush and 60 homo They arc
out of place. Apoor farmer in such fine company
Shame! where is thy blush. Go home and tell your
companions that they arc no longer worthy to be
the people who speak through the peoples ?rgani-
zntions are perfectly Insignificant, and what they
may wish done in their Ignorance is perfectly un-
constitution Il and absurd. Tho bankers, who have
studied transportation; the politicians who have
studied economics and the acience Of government,
are the only men capable of running the machine.
AL others would make botch Of the business.
Suppose, for instance, you should listen to the
voice Of ur-1fths of the people, and pass some
thing like the Sub-treasury bill. Would not that
tear up the whole government by the roots? We
srs; we must suppress the voice Of the people. It
would be perfectly ruinous to let the people run
the peoples government: We know more about
that than they do: We will run the thing to their
best interests If they will let alone and stick to
their parties. That is all We ask. That Is all we
want. Now let me tell you . little aecret
right here, # the people don't attend to their
hill out Of an ant hole, bring on foreign war, or
play thunder in some shape But this Is sort Of d
secret.
Votes. gentlemen. yopcs; your precious votes
first and last has cost the life blood of human
victim. Like the souls Of men, tits the price of
blood. Sell your votes to the oligarchy, aud you
oruoify fallen hero. To vote right requires
moral courage Covards and slaves easily follow
the current. They learn nothing. They dare
nothing. Think you tits IN easy matter to vote
right2 Have, you ever stood pn the trembling
ground amidst the. laundering artillery, tho
.whstling ball and the screaming sholl playing
havoc with tho capering Of death Well, you are
soldier. But 1t takes soldier twice as brave to
vote mis- convictions. It takes soldier twice as
brave to.part with his friends his party, his indi-
.vidual interests, and-voto for the peoples good.
But if you help to reestablish the people in their
lost inheritance you will help win noble victory
war; The people are coltending for the control
Of this Government. Their opponents. who have
possession, are the plutocracy. They have changed
the Republic to an oligarehy. Both sides want
