A KANGAROO TICKET.

The Flambeau Club at keokuk at
its recent Jolification had the names
Cleveland and Boies conspicuous on
one of its banners. Ii Cleveland's
name is to be on the ticket the order
should be reversed and candidate
named who is in sympathy with mel
who labor. The Democratic heart of
the country is in full sympathy with
Horace Boies. 1t was this, and the
unmistakable utterances of the Dem
ocratic p latform for the free coinage
Of silver; on the transportation ques-
ton; on the Australian ballot and the
outlawry of trusts and combinations
that rendered the third party practi-
cally unnecessary, and won for Boies
the popular support he received. To
surrender these policies in behalf of
candidate who is in opposition to
them is to proclaim to the farmers
and laboring men Of Iowa that they
have been deluded and deceived in
voting the Democratic ticket. The
great dalies Of the cities, almost with
out exception, favor capital at the ex-
pense and enslavement of labor. The
st. Paul Globes accession to the
cause of Wall Street, hard times and
the gold standard is a surprise and q
sad mistake. The free coinage of
silver was all right enough for the
money lords of the country SO long as
the quantity produced was made
quate to the public demand for
money, enabling the capitalists to
supplement it with their own notes
based upon coin, one dollar Of coin tc
fifty or more of their promises to pay
But when the supply of silver wa,
adequate to meet the public demand
for money, the demonstration Of sill
yer was the means taken to continu.
labor in the tolls of usurcrs. TIL,
discovery of Gold in 1916 it wa
thought would make that metal TOT
abundant for use as money and thu
men who now favor it as the onl!
coin were considering steps fol- it
characterization, soon thereafter.
Through the influence of socalled
financiers but two classes of peopl,
can obtain money in any other wa.
than borrowing from individuals o
corporations. The exceptions are
LIST: To owners OF gold or silve
bullion to whom coin certificates ar
issued as money without interest OF
deposit of bullion as security.
end: To owners of government
bonds, to whom national bank note
are issued for banking purposes OF
deposit of bonds as security.
The constitution gives congress ex
elusive control of the coinage or crea
ton of money to be issued for tn.
use and benefit of all the people; but
spectators by controlling the
national congress, through re
stricted supply are enabled to fix the
price upon all the products of labor
and upon labor. thus making even 4
low rate OF interest an oppressiy.
burden. The evils of our present fl
nancial system are the result of law
enacted by the republican party
establishing financial policy detri
mental to the masses. The laborint
men of the country had a right to be-
lieve that with the triumph of Mr..
Cleveland in 1884 change in these
policies would be recommended, blu,
instead, even before his inauguration
he wrote letter to the democrati,
congressman endorsing the republi
can policy by asking for the suspen
OF silver coinage.
The country was disappointed. TX
place him in nomination with Boie
would make a Kangaroo ticket-the
strength all in the hind part. Boie.
is good enough to head the ticket ant
is in full sympathy with the excellen
platform On which he was nominated
