A Vote For the Right Is Never Thrown
Away-sOmething For the People to Re.
MEMBER.
Don't throw away your vote is
what the peoples party voter will have
ding donged into his ear from now till
election day.
To the peoples party man who has
formerly been republican the repub-
lican politician will plead with him:
Don't throw away your vote; a vote
for Weaver is vote for Cleveland"
To the peoples party man who has
formerly been democrat the demo-
cratic politician will argue in this way:
"Your principles are all right. but YOU
can't possibly elect Weaver. Vote for
Cleveland and help us beat Harrison. {"
There are lots of men who believe our
principles to be right and that our can
didates are honest, intelligent, brave
and patriotic, but they will be led
astray by just such pleadings as above
quoted, and will try the old parties
lust once more"
Don't throw away your vote-but a
vote for the right is never thrown
away, though it may be in the minor
ity.
Your old party whether you have
been democrat or republican, has been
lying to you for quarter of a century,
and you know it.
1t has promised you this, that and the
other thing and its promises have not
been worth the paper written upon, and
you know it
1t has promised reform and it has not
reformed, and you know il.
! And it has made mighty little differ
ence to the monopolists which old party
was in power, and you know il.
And it has made no difference to the
people which party was in power, and
you know it
Jay Gould testified in court few
years ago that in democratic districts
he was a democrat, in republican dis
tricts he was republican-but you
may bet he was a jaw Gould man all
the time.
The public be id" no matter
which old party is in power, and you
know it.
But it would make a difference to the
monopolist if the peoples party should
get in power, and you know it.
Never, in any country on Gods green
earth, has the concentration Of wealth
into the hands of the few been SO rapid
as in this fair country of ours in the
past twenty years, and You know tiff
you have studied history.
Unless there is change what will be
the outcome? The republic itself is in
danger, and you know it
. History repeats itself. and you know
it
Yet, you are now wavering-fearing
that vote for home and native land is
a vote thrown away.
Coward! You are fit to be but a
newer of wood and drawer of water
for the monopolists all the days of your
life-but it is too bad that you should
vote Betsey and the babies into slavery
too.
Mortgages increasing on every hand
and satisfied" only by foreclosure, and
the lot of the producer getting harder
and harder year by year, and you know
it by history, by your own experience,
by evidences all around you, and yet,
You measly coward, you are afraid Of
voting for a remedy, for fear your rot
ten old political party will get beaten
by the other rotten old political party
when both are as near alike as two
peas from the same pod, and both
worm-eaten-and that it does not make
particle Of difference to you or to the
monopolists Though your interests are
widely differently which wins, and you
know it, and you realize it when you
think about it
Don't be hoodooed by the fiim-ham Of
the whang-bang noise of the campaign
There are enough men who believe
in our principles to elect our national
and every state ticket in the union-but
the fool towards are afraid Of throw
ing away their vote!"
All they lack is some of Jackson,
''by the eternal" in their veins, anc
sand in their craws.
However, there are enough of us whC
have left the monopoly camps who viii
stand up and be counted to throw the
election into the house-and II we dom
win there this time we will have enough
men in congress to forestall evil legis
lation, and our growth will encourag,
the weak kneed to come over and join
our forces and in 1895 the people vii
get control Of and make this a govern
ment Of, by and for the people as sur,
as there is God in Israel.
Stand up and be counted, or brant
yourself on your forehead, 'Coward"-
