The People Ignored.
All of the legislation for twenty FIVE
years has been in the interest of bankers,
corporations, railroads, manufacturers,
bondholders, and the people have moth
ing to say but to pay the tax. How does
it happen that the Goulds and the Van
decbilts and others build marble palaces
ard own all the banks, while the land
from which our bread comes, and the
people who pray, "Giye us this day our
daily bread" are poor and III
debt 1t is because the Republl-
can Congress has made friends of
the mammon of unrighteousness. Million
OF dollars go into the hands of Quay
a criminal who buys newspapers and
| floods the land with literature that tries
to teach that you are benefited by the
tariff He tries to show that the higher
tax you pay, the richer you become. In
this way out of the money of the ben
eficlaries by the tariff the people are
corrupted and elections are carried tor
the Republicans.
Another Joke.
This reminds me of the case OF the
two little negroes. One of them was
saving wood, and the first little (Peter)
| fellow said:
What are you saving wood for,
Jim?"
"For my mother" said, Jim.
Peter "What does she give you?'
| Jim-'Five cents load.
Peter-"What do you do with your
money!"
jim" Nanny keeps it for me-"
Peter-''What are you going to do
with it when you get pile?"
| Jim NANNY is going to take it and
buy new handle for this axe SO | can
cut more wood.
That is how the farmer is helped The
railroads and the tariff makers on put as
much tax as the traffic and the goods
will bear.
Ny dear friends-my unconverted
friends-let any man get IN bushel bas-
ket and see if he can lift himself over the
fence He can do it just as quickly as
he can make himself rich by taxing
himself.
Pauper Labor.
And all this is done, say these fellows,
to protect us from the pauper labor OF
Europe. And yet one half OF the fac
tories in the North are operated by men
who cannot ask for a piece of bread in
the English language. He drew !
graphic and humorous picture Of the
foreigners in America who make money
for the manufacturers, and crowd out
Ame lean wo1kingmen, appealing TO,

If two men sit down to play cards, aLC
one man vim $500 the other must lose
it. there can he no other way of win
ming it.
Another Joke.
TIE farmer has net gone to the legls
lators. He has been quiet, hoping TO
better times. It reminds me Of a negr'
in Salisbury lie was found in tie base
mont Of house and asked. "W hat ar
yon doing bere?n The reply was: 81 an

Y Unfair Distribution of Wealth.
y We have prospered greatly in Ame
ica, but the waalth has gone into tt
k hands of the few, and the pocket -bool
d of the many look like an elephant ha
e stepped on them.
. The great problem is how to distribu
wealth equltably. One hundred an
e fifty thousand people own three qua
a ters of the wealth made by "a, 900, OF
is people, and it has been the result of II
n legislation in the interest of the fe'
r. Whenever by means of law man ge
possession of dollar which he hasr
to earned from one who earned it, he IS
of robber, and the legislators who shap,
~ the laws are robbers.

ne complains that the Republican party

party, and under the statute of 43 El
