having said: "Acres do not govern the

of brains possessed by the money powers
and protected monopolists. Mr.. Depew

It 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 constl-
tuted. There must be a 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
ceeded in all future elections by the
nomination OF men who are in favor OF
such legislation as will bring relief to
the country. There is no necessity for
but one party in this country, and that
should be composed of all who are in
favor of an honest and economical ad-
ministration of the government in the
interest of the whole people.
