brains in Misrepresentation, and yet
the opposition papers are full OF
abuse and Misrepresentation. Peo-
pie are more or less sincere in their
devotion to parties, and this is par
ticularly true of the common people.
An unreasoning prejudice is gener-
ally the product of misrepresenta-
tion, and for this reason prejudices
are purposely created and kept
alive. The opposition are constant
ly setting up men of straw, and
then knocking them over, knowing
full well that the credulity Of the
unsuspecting will enable them to
pass off their men of straw as real
men. No argument as yet has been
submitted to the people, opposing
the land loan and sub-treasury
measures of the Peoples party, that
does not contain a large number of
"men of straw" Now the con-
cIusion is fairly justified that either
the opposition cannot, or are unwil-
ling to, discuss principles of the
Peoples party on their merits. If
the principles of the Peoples party
are wrong, they ought not to sue
cesd. If right, every candid and
right-minded citizen will admit that
they ought to succeed, and if the
Peoples party principles are right,
the principles of other parties in
opposition are wrong.
