1t is useless for the farmers and labor
ing men of the United States TO expect
any relief from either the republican or
democratic parties as at present consti-
tuted. There must be complete revo-
luton in both parties before either will
come to the relief OF the masses against
the favored classes who now control the
political machinery OF both parties. The
grand uprising of the people in Novem-
Der in many OF the states must be sue

nomination of men who are in favor of
such legislation as will bring relief to
the country. There is no necessity for

Was Abraham Lincoln true or false
prophet when he said: 81 see in the
near future a crisis arising which un-
nerves me and causes me to tremble FOR
the safety Of my country. As a result |
Of the war, corporations have been en-
throned, and an era Of corruption in |
high places will follow, and the money
power OF the country will endeavor TO |
prolong its reign by working upon the |
preiudices of the people until all the |
wealth is aggregated In a few hands and |
the republic is destroyed feel at this
time more anxiety for the safety of my |
country than ever before, even in the |
midst of the war. God grant that my |
fears may prove groundless. II was the |
power of Wall street which President |
Lincoln feared. But how much more |
powerful are the money manipulators |
Of New York to-day than they were in
the great war presidents time. Lincoln |
beheld Stewart taking advantage OF
the war and making his millions out OF |
It, He saw other lesser ones turning
the nations misfortune and peril to |
their private gain, taking advantage of
the nations need and purchasing gov
ernment bonds almost at their own
figures. II Lincoln could speak to-day.
would he not be able to pronounce with |
the assurance of a prophet whose pre-
dictions have in a measure came true,
and with almost a certainty that the re-
mainder Of the prophecy will be fulfill
