Prodigality. recklessnesS and theft. Great
! God the good have fallen. We groar under
the ponderOuS burden. The Last feather
has been laid on the poor farmers back
Can we endure it, Will we stand il longer
No. no, no. in thunder tones, we say 40
We can't stand il longer. Our homes cry
no-our wives in tatterS. with hollow
checks and sunken eyes, say no. Our
ragged children, growing up in ignorance
cry pitifuliy. say no, pa.
There are other acts of wickedness that
aided i'll bringing ABOUT our present stale OF
woe. All the gold ana silver that industry
and energy could dig up was coined int
/ money. How now In 1873 there was 4
great rare committed upon the silver pro
duction of the United States. II was tie
monetiZed by veuality and dire raSca.ity.
Bonds that were to be paid IN the currency
of the country. could only ne paid in gold.
Bonds that were worth % cents on the doi-
lar We're swelled 10 sl.40. We were swim
died out OF money enough 10 nay OF the
present public debt. Oh, miserable man,
that would aid drty OF sUrh evil mon
str0stieS.
A man that would leave the Democratic
party now ought to be put in the calaboOse
10 keep him from injurinG his feilowman
We have taken the outer trenches OF the
enemy everywhere. Some of his strong
holds are i'll our hands Now let us Dul'llSn
our arInor, marshal our hosts IN one grand
Democratic phalanX, and in 1892 capture his
citadel, tear up his camp and free the peo-
pie Glorious liberty, for when our
fathers died Now, how can we DO this.
Let YOUR minds revert back again. The
same causes will produce the same effects.
\ low tariff and free coinage caused the
people to be happy from ls4i 10 1860 Why
again? a rule that will solve problem to-
day will solve the same problem fifty wears
hence. The Appian way that led to Rome
2000 years ago leads to Rome 'o-day.
The sane solution of Euclid's problems
in the days of the great mathematician are
used to-day, for they were correct. Right
will always prevail, and it was right TO tax
the people lightly, as III the good era-from
1S4s to ls60-aud il was right TO
coin all the gold and silver for the use Of
the people as was done from 1S4i to 1850
Right will prevail! When the wicked rule
the people mourn.
Equal justice TO all, exclusive privileges
to ncnei
We don't ask protection. but we ask not
to be robbed. Take SS3 from every family
in Fort Worth. and what would De the
result One-half of them would o. bank
rupted and the other half financially
crippled.
Take $50 from every family in Tarrant
county and StagnaJlOn and starvation would
follow sooner or later 1t was taken last year.
1t will be taken this year, but sta@natiOn
and starvation, like gallnt wolf, is now at
the door.
There are many remedies now offered as
palladium for ali our financial woes
One called the sub-treaSury plan. | will
read it for fear fail TO state it correctly.
Reads from GAZETTE of 9TH of July. Com
ment.
Some men may Join il from curiosity.
y
A young lady made a visit to the coast in
midwinter. The family all wanted TO know
what she saw. Tells the story of the pears
and the bananas
Now. don't go of after wild fantasm,
a chimera of a wild greelbacker's brain
plot coucocted by the Republican party.
No state in the North will support it. 1t is
pressed only in Democratic states.
Oh, that the people of the South could
see and avoid the ways of their worst
enemy
Let us return home resolved to teach the
truth, and TO meet any and all enemies with
the sword of truth, Democracy" What
would be the result
Let US lift the veil of futurity and look
twenty years hence.
Tariff for revenue only to run a Demo-
cratic government! Silver coined free like
gold
Taxes gathered from the rich in proper
ton to their riches, and not from the poor
as is now.
Nobody would want sub-trcasury then
nobody would have a high tariff after
they saw and lived under such a govern
ment.
Give US an internal revenue that wealth
may bear its part of the burdens of govern
ment.
The farmer would be happy, wear a plug
hat, etc.
al tic CONCLUSION Oh -1r. -hCtIau0neN
address loud calls for Tom Smith were
heard. Smith is one of the strongest ALI
ance men in the state, and is Just as
strong anti-sub-treasury. He responded
to the call with ringing speech, in which
he ripped the sub-treasury scheme from \
TO lizard. His speech, though not a lcDgthI
one, was one characterized by great power
and many telling blows straight from the
shoulder resulted.
At the conclusion of his address the CON
vention went into executive session and
then adjourned until $50 this morning
