FOR CONGRESS.
ENOCH MOVES.
Come Let Us Reason Together.


We publish the Peoples party ticket in
full, as ii will appear on the election ballot
in this issue of the MIDLAND JOURNAL.
The democrat and republican tickets are
published in their party papers and are
familiar TO ALL The prohibition ticket We
have no copy of or we would publish it so
that all of the tickets would be placed be-
fore the voters before the day of election.
But the mere tickets, or lists of names
Of candidates are of minor import
ance II is the principles which underlie
them which is all important for the voters
to seriously consider. How many voters
have been seriously considering their i'm
port? We fear but few. We enclose in
the present issue an address to the voters Of
Maryland by N. A. Dunnipg, Chairman
of the Peoples Party State Committee,
which we ask every voter to carefully read
and consider; and especially farmers, whose
grievances and unjust bnrthen of taxation
are plainly and briefly stated. You are
asked 10 weigh we'll those charges which all
will admit to be true and also the party
responsible for this state Of affairs in Mary
land. You, farmers, cannot but admit the
truth and justice of this indictment against
the democrat party. The republican party
have had no show in the Stale for twenty
years, and they never expect to have.
Their organization has been carefully kept
up by the tax eaters of the party for the
federal patronage which falls to the State.
In truth the real ring politicians Of the
party are as we'll satisfied to be in a minority
as majority. Hence they haye offered
nothing better than the democrat party Of
Mary land to the voters. No man with a
grain of sense will change his vote from one
party, no matter how bad it is, 10 another
when neither principle or profit invites such
change. And The result Of the prevailing
political conditions in Maryland is that the
honest voter has been held powerless be-
tween them, the democratic political pick
pockets robbing his State and county
pockets, and the other branch Of the family,
the republican gentry, going through his
fedora. government pocket. This is about
as equitable divide as the tax eaters could
make and they have quietly settled down to
business and if not molested mean TO keep
this arrangement indefinitely. 1t all re-
mains for the honest voting geese to say
whether they are satisfied with this scientific
plucking. If they are not satisfied they will
vote the Peoples ticket-which is their
ticket-next Tuesday.
Read carefully the demands Of the Peoples
party-and you farmer, laborer and all
depending on the prosperity Of the farm for
subsistence, are of that party whether you
are willing to acknowledge it or not-and
say are they not yor demands? Do you
not desire TO see every one of those demands
enacted into law? OF course you do. Then
plain, common sense teaches you to pool
your votes for them by voting the ticket
they represent, and that represents them,
Weaver, Field and Noyes. These three
isolated names represent only three citizens,
but as nominees of political party they are
the color bearers to which the army Of
voters must gather and form on if they ex-
pect to gain any of those reforms. The two
old parties are opposed to them all. The
individual voters are not opposed to them
but the head of the parties are. The
monopoly classes who hold i'll their hands
and control the parties are, and none Of
those reforms can ever be reached through
either of these parties. That you can rely
on.
Col. Noyes, who represents the class o.
voters OF the county we have been talking
to, ought to receive heavy vote from them
Such vote would emphasize the dissatisfac-
ton felt by, almost to man, the industrial
class. No such expression can be given il
if cast for either of the old parties. The
democrat party expect to elect the member
of congress from this district and the monop
oily power which stands at the party's head
has seen to it that a political tauyer has been
put in nomination. The republicans, having
no expectation, and scarcely a wish, of elect
ing member of congress from the district
put up any man who is willing-or rather
not nnwilling-to stand. They haye beer
doing SO right along.
Cleveland will carry Maryland as a mat
ter Of course, and Harrison will not, as I
