The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1892-10-22

both principal and interest, thereby
making their bonds much more val
liable than before, or when they pur--
chased them, for these which they
had paid in gold value but little
over fifty cents 10 the dollar, now
went up to about one dollar and
twenty cents to the dollar in gold all
over this country, and thus in the
twinkling of an eye more than doub.
led their wealth.
And these rich bugs not being yet
satiated in their desire for wealth in
order TO make constitutional money,
to-wit gold and silver more valua-
BILE, by making it more scarce caused
another act OF congress to be passed
demonetizing silver; thereby leaving
nothing but gold to pay their bonds
with, and thus not only making the
peoples money worthless, but the
rich and oppulent of this goodly
land have made themselves the boast
ed aristocracy of the country.
And next, this monied class to in
crease their ill-gotten gains and to
rob the people Of the means of living
and make them pour their daily and
hourly contributions into the rich
mans Golfers, and in times of pro-
found peace, when the government
had all the money it wanted, and
much more than it could use, and
surplus of one hundred millions of
dollars it did not know what to do
with, procured congress to pass an
act known as the Mckinley bill,
placing a tariff tax Of about Sc cts.
to the dollar on nearly all the poor
people eat and wear, without giving
them any tariff ON what they sell or
earn; thus making it cost the poor
man and laborer nearly tsoice as
much to live as it did before, and
giving the rich manufacturers nearly
twice as much for their products as
they got before All this increase
in price the people the consumers
pay and never get back one cent of
it. About one-eighth Of this increas-
ed price goes into the treasury to aid
in the support of the government,
and the other seven-eighths go into
the pockets of the rich manufactur-
ers to make them richer; and is it
any wonder they get rich so fast, or
that the poor people get poorer so
fast? And this is one of the big
bones of contention between these
rich republican aristocrats and the
democratic party at the coming cleo
ton.
And now that the opulent and
grasping men and manufacturers
feel themselves pretty well fixed in
their wealth, mills, storehouses and
factories, to say nothing of their
splendid castles in Scotland and
elsewhere. their greatest anxiety
seems to be to hold on to their van
tage ground and i'll gotten riches;
and their greed and avarice makes
them fear lest if the people are left
free to cote as they please hereafter,
they may bring them to an account,
and by more just and equitable leg
islation not emily cut off their
streams of wealth.. but make them
to flow the other way and to benefit
the people
To prevent this from ever occur
ring these wealthy aristocrats are
now moving heaven and earth TO get
a congress to act in harmony with
President Harrison to pass Force
bill, by which the president can APP
point enough of his partisan friends
for life (not for good behavior) to
take possession of the polls on cleo
ton day all over the country, and
destroy all sucE ballots as they
msy not like; and thus allow no one
to vote except such as will vote to
perpetuate that usurpation at the
polls and by that means make it i'm
possible for the people to relieve
and SO fasten the door to
attack, no matter what diabolical
wrongs may be committed by the
party in power
This is the second great hone of
contention to be decided at the com
ing election All who vote the re
publican ticket vote to support and
this usurpation-this
menace to free institutions.
All who vote the democratic tick
ct vote to prevent this fearful con-
ditioD, and allow the voter to vote
free and nntrammeled as he may
wish, and at the same time to allow
the several state governments to con
troll the elective franchise of their cit
liens, as they always did since we
we're free people. The day such
force bill is born, republican govern
ment will expire. These are not idle
words, or mere declarations, but the
sober, Gods truth.
Voters of Monongalia county; we
appeal to your manhood, and ask ifI
even you have been made poor in
purse by this wicked and unequal
legislation; have you become so poor
in soul as to permit yourselves muz-
zled and bound hand and foot by
the strong arm Of greed and power,
That you and v0ur childrac ,,,,,et -.
