when we, the farming people, can
hesitate no longer. The highest in.
terests of our grand country demand
that we awake and lie sleeping no
longer. The enemies of justice and the
advocates of high taxation are holding
the forts of our glorious country and
our freedom is az their mercy. The
republican party and its leaders are
preparing to tramp'e under foot the
last feeble spark OF hope. / appeal to
all liberty-loving citizens of these
United STATES, who are laboring for
the best interest Of their country !!
When the time comes for them to cast
their votes upon the altar of their
country, they should cast it in behalf
of justice, and every ballot cast with
a clear conscience may be key to un-
lock the heavy weight of injustice that
to-day hangs over the industrial and
agricultural classes of our country. /
do not write these lines to g in noto-
riety or to ease my political prejudice,
but merely to give a few of the
thoughts that to-day agitate the minds
OF the rising generation. The rising
generation is tired of the old "bloody
shirt" being hoisted in every congress
and upon every political stump
throughout the land of the free and
the home of the brave, for the poet
has written long ago.
son flames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
Add glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead"
So, then, let our future representa-
t'ves win their political honors by
some other way than the greater
number of them have in the last quar-.
ter of a century. Let al prejudice
of North and South die. Let the
pages of history record the facts that
once disgraced our glorious and free
country. We have already two dark
blots upon the face of our civilized
country that can never be erased.
Thfy are our treatment of the Indians
and the importation of the negro by
yankee slave traders. So let not the
third one come now-the oppression
of the masses by monopolies.
A word to democrats The time is
not far distant, only one year, when
the leader of the democratic party
must be chosen to fight the greatest
political battle that has ever been
fought, and as ] am a democrat 1
would like to see a ticket nominated
and put in the field that would lead
to glorious victory. Here is my
choice, and all the republicans and
mumwumps in this world, and in the
world to come, cannot defeat it: Hill,
of New York. for president and
Boies, of Iowa, for vice-president.
Harrison may make his swing around
the United States, bnt the year '93
will swing him out OF the White
House.
james G.. Blaine is a monster in
the republican party. Should he BE-
the nominee of the republicans he vi |
be hard M IN to defeat. i am sorry
to say this, but nevertheless it is my
opinion. Blaine has proven himself a
great statesman in the late squabbie
with Italy.
A word Of warning to the Farmers
Alliance, or the prospective Peoples
party! Fellow farmers, do you want
to make worse slaves out of yourselves?
Are not your products poor enough,
and are not the Decessaries of life high |
enough? eyes," you all answer in |
one voice. Then why do you want to |
pull away from the democratic party |
and go into party of your own Do
you think that you can elect presi-
dent in '92 or go? Do you think |
that you could ever get farmer con-
gress? You must not think that we
we can control everything. We are
a great power, without doubt, but
because there IL ono aenator from
Kansas and one from Dakota elected
by the farmers, we must not think we
can get everything. Ii was anything
to beat the republicans by the ALI
ancs in those states. So, then, would
it not be dangerous undertaking to
have a ticket in the field in '92? Did
not the NatioBal Farmers Alliance,
at Ocala, Fla. demsnd the same as the
party of the present day,
with the exception of the sub-treasury
bill, which is dangerous step towards
socialism Why not cling to the old
party that was founded by the immor-l
tai Thomas jefferson The republic
cans will cling together. They will
not even join the Alliance to-day. nor
will one of them vote the Alliance
ticket in '92.
Why not work in harmony with the
democratic party, party whose de-
