The sun. [volume] (Morris, Stevens County, Minn.) 1882-1895, 1892-11-03

To the voters OF Stevens county:
For the past four or five weeks you
have listened to political speakers
from both the old parties; they have
each presented to you in o mastery
manner, their side of the issue
II this political campaign; the,
country has been flooded with cam
paign literature, issued and sent out
from both the old political parties
and strewn broadcast in the land, and
now my dear reader let me ask you
candidly, have you found in any Of
their speeches Or in any Of these cam
pajgn documents, SO literally dis
5ributed, one iota, single wray Of
light, crumb of hope, or even a
solitary promise of any relief from
your present enslaved condition from
either of the old parties? In all
their speeches, in all their campaign
literature, III all their miles of torch
light professions, in all their hurrah-
ing, have they offered you any relief,
any remedy-not any. The demo
cratic speakers have simply pointed
out and shown to you how you are
being robbed and plundered by class
legislation, trusts and combinations,
protective tariff system, etc, under
republican rule. On the otLec hand
the republican speakers have pointed
out and shown to you how you would
be robbed and plundered. we're the
democratic party to come into power
again. Such has been solely the
sum and substance Of all their dis
cussions. And now then pray tell me
ST Shgss' 5 SID political parties hone
whatever. Now then let me tell you,
your only salvation is to drop back
of these Cd parties; so to the polls
next election day and cast your bal
lot for the new party--the Peoples
Party-vote the ticket straight from
top to bottom; national, state and
county. Your only hope fer freedom
from your present deplorable, en-
shaved condition can only be found
in a new order of things. BY trying
the new party, you certainly can not
do worse than by sticking to the old
parties to which you may belong.
You have tried the republican party
for years without any le'ief; they have
promised you before each election
better things. Have they como?
Have they ever fulfilled their pronis-
esq Don't be fooled by them again.
You have lived in hope, you have
toiled in vain; you have relied on
promises, promises, promises that
have never been fulfilled, until tie
agricultural classes in the Northwest
have been reduced to abiect slavery
instead of better times that you have
from time to time been promised by
these politicians of the old palt;es:
your 60 d't;oa has only steady
grown worse from one campaign to
another. If a new merchant cones
to your town, see how eagerly you
set 70. tn to find him, and how read
lily you give him your patronage,
thinking, at least, that you will get
from him better goods for less money.
Why not apply this same method to
the new political party, by giving it
your patronage and support by your
vote at the coming election? This
new party offers you inducements
not held out by either Of theold
parties. Read the Peoples Party
platform; give this now party a trial;
20. can certainly Go no worse than
by sticking to the old party. 1: you
discover, by a trial, that you have not
bettered your condition, you can
easily fall back again to your old
party; the old parties are not gling
to die right away, SO you will have
chance to fall into their ranks again
at any time, if you find that you have
not bettered yourselves by joining
the new party. This new party, like
a new merchant in your town, a new
mechanic. new lawyer or doctor,
who may have como to your town to
stay and to do business with you,
will for policy sake, if nothing
more, be honest with you and deal
fairly with you for a time to begin
with at least. Give this new party
the Peoples Party-a trial at this
coming election. You know by past
experiences that you have nothing to
hope for from either of the old parties. !
Try It'll yes, try it at this coming
election. Vote the peoples party |
