Will labor tamely

submit2
The Walnut Valley Sentinel, of
Ness City, Kan, puts it thus
If wealth is to be placed above
worth if property is to be placed
over humanity; If the power to rob
community is what is to determine a
mans standing in this American re-
public, then let us change our form
of government and elect the wealth
lest man in the nation as president,
the next as vice-president, and so on
down through the senate, house and
all the offices. An aristocracy Of
wealth is far more hateful than one
of blood, and despotism of dollars
is far more degrading to the masses
than is one of the sword. The lat
ter is maintained by personal PROV
ess, which is, in certain sense,
commendable; the former is main
tanned through the very meanest
propensities of the human heart,
those of greed and spoilation.
The Workman, Of Minden, Neb.,
says:
The election of Harrison and Reid
means continuation Of the present
financial and industrial systems. This
cannot be denied. Then we are to
have strikes, lockouts, riots, mobs
and all other sorts Of local disturb
ances. Now, in all candor is it pos
eible that labor IS always wrong, and
capital always right? Can't you at
least concede that labor is right part
Of the time, and can't you further
concede that the administration has
at least something to do with it? In
the last ten years there has been a
great many local conflicts between
tabor and capital and invariably the
press and leaders Of the dominant
party sympathize with capital. Cap
ital has ruled for thirty years and dis
turbances multiply. A disastrous
and CORY conflict is possible under
the present state Of affairs; why not
change it? Let labor rule a short
time and note the results.
The Leadvllle (Col) Star exhorts:
Don't be deceived; the Omaha
nominees are the only ones supporting
and advocating free and unlimited
coinage of silver. Vote for the PEG
pies party who are working not only
for those now living but generations
yet unborn who may bless or curse
our work. Get in line, stand with
the populists vote for the national
and state candidates of the Peoples
party, and let the goldbug go to hades
The Rossville (Ind.) Journal says :
From many parts Of the state come
the reports OF immense mass meetings
by the people. Our leaders are hew-
ing to the line, and our voters rejoice.
Accessions are reported everywhere,
1t is to be hoped our central com
mittee will make arrangements at the
meeting tomorrow to have public
demonstration in this county. Let
every one up and at them boys, and
victory will perch upon our banner.
The Newton (Iowa) Herald says
We have but two real parties: The
party Of monopoly and the Peoples
patry. What was the real cause of
the trouble and b|oodshed at Home
stead? The relentless and cruel
greed of corporate power. Corpora
tons are greater robbers Of earnings
than ever was chattle slavery
Abolish all corporations for pecuniary
profit.
The Acorn, Marshall, Ill, says:
-Four years ago Cleveland carried
Alabama by q majority of over 81, 900
Have you read the result of last
Mondays election in that State
One great fact before the American
people with respect to Gen. Weaver's
candidacy is this: He is a safe
man-one who has on all occasions
proved himself trustworthy aud able
to defend the rights of all the people
If elected he will be Chief Executive
Of all the people.
Farmers Tribune, Das Milne 5
Iowa
The man who PERSISTS in trying to
urge himself into the belief that the
Peoples party stands no show for
success in the coming election, is
simply wasting time. This is peo-
pies movement, and the people are
going to walk up to the polls and
vote in their own inserests. Don't
stop to ask what Colorado and Mont
ana and Georgia and the Carolinas,
and Kansas and other states will do !
I GU know their electoral votes will
be cast for Weaver. But what will
your township and your county do !?
You can carry them-of course you
