New YORK, Nov. 4.-As the campaign
will soon end it is right and necessary
that we should say few words to you.
There is no man. woman or child in the
United States who ia not affected by tariff
laws. Since 1865 less than a thousand
men by means of individual or COR
porate wealth have become masters of
our tariff system. Their power is sufficient
to enforce the continuance and increase in
time of peace of taxes on the necsssaries of
life originally imposed in time of war and
only because of the actual needs of the gov
ernment. Wealth, which, under former
laws, was distributed among all classes en-
gagged in industrial life, is conferred in the
hands of few. The masses of people, who
gain bread by the labor of their brains and
hands. are struggling on wearily, looking to
your united action for relief. The feeling
is strong in your breasts to-day, the con-
| viction is in each of your minds, that every
man and woman amongyo is forced to pay
a price for the very necessarieso of life which
ought not be paid, and great
proportion of which does not go to the
government but to small number of
favored people who control the govern
ment. You know this GLASS controls and
uses the government. 1t is a band OF
moneyed men combined for sordid pur-
poses and actually ruling the republican
party. Federal otficeholders are part Of its
machinery. II succeeded in 1888 in defeat
ing Grover Cleveland by the intimidation
of workmen and the corrupt use of money
before you became aware of the danger.
| a5a are mot now ignorant of the peril In
no country in the whole world in which
the people have right to vote, has the pur-
pose to carry the election by the use of
money been more plainly shown. You will
not remain passive spectators to this scene @.
| The people of New York. rememb boring the
high character of the public services of
Grover Cleveland, knowing his election will
| certainly guarantee q Wlsei. purer and bet
ter government, will rally to his support.
Many republicans in the state of New York
who love their country and despise the
men now controlling their party will come
to his aid and he will win an overwhelming
victory in we'll approved style.
The farmers of Indiana will show that a
thousand benefciaries of federal legislation
cannot again by fraud, knavery and pur-
chase. obtain the electoral vote of that
state. The substantial yeomanry of New
Jersey will teach contributors on the day OF
the presidential election lesson they will
never forget. The farmers and working
mon of Connecticut will remember their
wrongs at the polls in November. and the
people OF Delaware and West Virginia will
follow their example.
Bear in mind that you owe to the men
who maintain the present corrupting and
iniqaitous tar iff the initiation and continu-
ing threat of force bill, a measure intro
duced for turthering republican partisan
schemes. Failing in their nefarious plans,
they again put their hands into their pock.
cts and raised campain fund which &
government under force bill would have
supplied them with. President Harrison i,
in favor of any method of earring federal
elections which that dangerous bill sup
plies. The silence of the republican leaders
on the subject does not, we are sure, de
ceive you. You must on the eighth day o.
November, make a choice which will vitality
affect the intere of the country. The i'll
dlvidual vote of each one of you is of su
preme importance. Under Grover Cleve
land as president the controllin'
CREATES greatest i humber and S PUB public u ofiio f
will be sacredly regarded as a public trust
Civil SO vice will not be dragged agains
will through the mire of nominating con-
, ventions but laws regulating it will b.
honestly enforced. Agriculture and com
mer6e are growing steadily but under wise
laws will greatly increase national pros
perity. The individual working man viii
, find his wants more taksn into account ant
reasonable demands will be more readily
, listened to.
No combination will be able to dictate
laws to Grover Cleveland or to the demo
cratic majority in congress. We ask every
one of you to labor without ceasing 10
Cleveland and Stevenson aud for good gov
ernment under a democratic administra
tion. On election day lay aside all dutie
except the duties of that day, protect you
respective polls against bribery. fraud o
intimidation. No authority can emplo,
any man to interfere with the lawful cast
ing of your rightful ballots.
Right is withlus and We are certain o
victory. Make it an overwhelming triumph
