This is an important event in the
history of the nation and the civilized
man-there has been no precedent for
it in any of the last ages. The produc-
ing classes have hitherto remained i'm
poverished in the midst of the plenty
which they created. The producing
classes of the United States are the
nation-all others simply live by the
tolls imposed by the industry of the
workers We make no war upon the
nonproducers as such Some of them
render the people n full equivalent of
services for all they receive; others are
robbers and plundcrers who, through the
imperfection of our laws. strip toll of
its possessions and do not go to the
penitentiary.

alarm the continual advance of condi-
tons which every day have carried us

clples and traditions of the founders of
the republic and nearer and nearer to
an abyss in which we can see only the
separation of a crushing oligarchy or
the dreadful alternative of revolution
and anarchy. 1t is for the pun pose of
saving free institutions, by the peace

Before the close of the election of 1899 /
we expect to see the two old parties, |
with all their banners and war-cries, |
marching and hurrahing together in
defense of the iniquities which have
covered the land with mortgages and
driven the republic to the verge of
destruction. Already the asperities of
the past have ceased between them and
their campaigns have become the sweet
Interchange of courtesies between
lovers rather than the fierce onslaught
Of warriors contending for opposing
principles.
And so under the auspicious circum-
stances cheered by an abiding faith in
our triumph of 1892 at the ballot-box.
