While Seeking to Destroy Our
Farmers, It Has Asked
For Their Votes.
It's Latest Infamous Move Is
an Insult to ALI Farmers
in Our State.
Democracy Cannot Escape the
Wrath, Aroused by Its
Treachery.
FARMERS, BE WARNED F.!

FARMERS, BE WARNED !
FARMERS OF MINNESOTA, tho
Democratic party in this State has be-
trayed itself.
1t has asked your vote for it's candi-
dates and for tho Fusion Ticket, on the
ground that it was the farmers friend
and advocated the farmers right.
Now, look for yourselves, and see to
what deep and infamous enmity against
your interests, against your very exist
ence as free and independent men. it
has confessed.
It has brought to this state Mr.. Henry
George, to advocate its cause.
He has stood on tho platform with its
candidates, at its meetings, introduced
by its officers as speaker in the cause,
applauded by its palms, as = good
enough Democrat for the party in
Minnesota.
It cannot get away from this record.
Aud ,o~ xvho !. <h;. uoo,, noo.>
and what does he stand for in the COM
mon life, and in yours2
He is q man whose whole energy has
been given to an idea that would strip
you Of your dearest possessions, take
from you the reward of years of honest
toll, deny to you the right to keep the
homes you hold and the acres you have
called back from the wilderness, and
place upon your shoulders the whole
burden Of taxation necessary to the
support of the State.
He is the bitter and unsympathetie
foe of you and your interests, and he il
preaching Democracy today to the vot
ers of Minnesota because it comes near
est to representing his beliefs, and be-
cause it is through that party alone tina
he hopes to see his wish accomplished.
Mr.. George has a right to this conf
dence.
He has been legally adopted by tn
Democratic party.
The principal work in which he set
forth his theories is progress and Pow
erty;" and the Democratic party though
80 much of it that it's members secured
the publication of the whole of it, at tn
last session of Congress, in the Congress
sional Record, by pretending to have i
inserted in their speeches.
This is what progress and Poverty
teaches: That private ownership i
land is a crime; that the whole annus
value Of the land ought to be appropri
ated by the state; that the posses
sion of the mechanic who ha
won his little home, and the farmer VIII
has earned title to his homestead ougl
to be free to anyone who should happe
to want them; and that this practices
confscation Of landed property shout
be brought about by making Ian
bear all the expenses of government, b
taxing nothing but land, and by maxim
those taxes so heavy, over and abo,
what the state might need, that me
would find it easier and cheaper to Civ
up their properties than to hold them.
This is the idea to which Mr.. Geors
has devoted his life.
This is set forth over and over agai
in all his books and speeches.
This has become good Democrat
i doctrine by the party's acceptance ,
l Mr.. George as its representative an
champion.
This has become the belief of the Pc
d pies party. because it is in close allan
/ with the Democrats, and must take i
share of responsibility for Mr.. George
help.
l. Farmers of Minnesota, how do VI
like the appeal made to you to give I
