party wants an honest dollar--one
that will stay right by the people and
the country through thick and thin.
AND 1t must be brave dollar, too;
one that will not scamper of to Eu-
rope on the first approach Of danger.
National Star: The fight OF the
Peoples party is to protect the poor
mans interest against the encroach-
ments OF the rich. 1t Is square
fight between labor and capital If
capital succeeds the great common

change again back to the free silver

Journal of the Knights of Labor
Sn spite Of the awful signs Of the
eimes there are men in our ranks
who dare assert that the Judiciary and
all other public officials recruited
exclusively from tho capitalistic class
are not rotten to the core every single
one of them; although it is notorious
that no man can be placed in public
Office before selling himself TO that
class.
National Watchman: 1t is danger

some one is certain to volunteer and
enforce his thinking for and upon us.
and when it is mind against matter
we have a master and a slave.
When we condemn railways for
collecting interest from us on
watered stock. a crime we are met
with the idiotic cry Of .'Hurrah for
America for Americans. When we
charge our government with cruel
money or tariff laws we are met
with the same cry. cry raised by
both English and American burglars.

National Economist: For fear that
the 'workingmen" might forget or
neglect to remember that this is the
most prosperous and happy nation on
earth. j. SlOat Fassett of New York
and the Republican party. remarked
on the stumps: I'VE stand before the
world to-day after thirty years OF
protection. leading all the world in
science. industry and happiness and
we are asked to turn our backs upon
the principles under which all this
great happiness has been achieved to
adopt and try the new theories. but
the workingmen who study the ques-
ton will hesitate to accept the invi-
tation."
An
journal of Agriculture: The scheme
OF those who oppose the anti-option
bill is to try to lead the farmers and
others to believe that the anti-option
bill originated with the millers' and
elevators combine. and that if en-
acted into law will injure the ones it
was intended to benefit and leave
them at the mercy of the millers'
combine. But even if grain gambling
did not abnormalize the markets and
frequently manipulate them to the
injury of the producers the practice
should be stopped on moral grounds
If on no other. This Christian land
S is in a bad condition when gambling
is necessary 10 the best interests o.

judges have become traitorous pre-
venters both of the letter and spirit O
theslaw. in their eagerness to give
lackey service to lawless and op
pressive plutocracy. Thevery founda
ton OF free and peaceful govern
ment is gone when the masses of the
people have lost all faith in the purity
of its courts and the justice of theil
rulings. Affirm who dares that this
terrible state Of affairs is not existing
in our republic TO- day! All intelligent
men know it to be the case. and i
will only be lyingly denied by the
lawyers. judges and plutocratic bene
ficiaries Of our befouled and debauchei
legal system.
