Gratis
Reared as we have been ia the folds
OF the democratic party and many Of
MS having fought its battles and fol-
lowed its flag for a lifetime, we have
bCen taught ever to believe that democ-
racY was not and in its essential ma
ture could not be, incompatible with
perfect liberty Of thought and speech
Previous to this most remarkable full
mination OF Chairman Finley, we had
supposed that each individual democrat
was a freeman, having full possession
of, and control over his own conscience
Holding these views, the undersigned,
in common with many others, true and
loyal democrats, have seen fit to exam
inc and approve the principles Of what
is called the sub-treasury plan We
believe in common with the great mass
of laborers and producers that during
the past thirty years, If not ever since
its foundation, our federal government
has been administered IN the interest
of capital, 70 the prejudice of labor.
The tillers OF the soil. the producers
and property owners generally and all
other values, have submitted for many
years to a systematic robbery by the
government for the enrichment of the
capitalistic classes
Agriculture the lGaA1 D4 eAlA wealth.
and of civilization itself, has borne the
burdens of government, and those who
follow its pursuits, thus discriminating
against, have gradually become ''he W
ers of wood and drawers of water" for
the more favored classes; oppressed al
ways and successfully by the ezactions
Of money, and incapa BILE, through IN
just laws and systems Propagated by
syudicated wealth, of exercising even
the poor privilege of naming a price
for what they produce or may have TO
sell.
Anent these environments, which
threaten even the existence Of them
and their loved ones, they are looking
for some remedy. FreeboFn, thev are
not disposed forever TO wear chains
which present economic conditions
have imposed upon them and which, Ia
some respects are more CALLING than
the actual slavery once existing in our
midst They feel that they are en-
titled to equal privileges with sli other
classes in this country, and that they
have a right to demand that all dis
examinations by government against
