give power of public plumber is one
thing which has a tendency to cement
the leaders OF the two old parties to-
gether, and causeth them to sleep
ppder the same blanket whenever
necessary to defeat the people.
The Economist: The man who farms
performs his labor with the hope of
reward for his toll So long as the
money power robs of the fruits of his
labor, just SO long should he devote
more talk to reform of the financial
system than discussion of how to make
more crops Not only should he talk,
but he should be ready to strike down
any man, politically. who is in the
way to the accomplishment of that re-
form.

The Bevier Appeal: Do not let your
old party prejudice keep you from
studying the subtreasury plan. Do
not let the old party politician deceive
and mislead you, and keep you from
investigating it. He knows that the
corrupt leaders of the old parties will
