election of Thomas Henley, Democrat by
the following vote: Henley 1873, Towers 1919,

on the last than OH any other ballot
The democracy has only 10 adhersnts

brought about by trade between Norton

Towers's, but Mr.. Towers stood ready no

Here. then. is the wage-earners'

system denies this right to myriads of

greater part of the products 0. indus

has increased during the past quarter

The demand of the people who Gre
ate the wealth, to own what their
handiwork and energy has produced.

from Jehovah. But 1.-The gods help

you. But you must do it. Not by
croaking and bemoaning; but by
standing upright. as man, and fight
ing straight from the shoulder. un-
daunted and irrepresslble with no
such word as fail in your lexicon.
Men are needed. Brave men, capable

If he should die. and the complications
OF the management OF the estate of a

that this man should desire and vote

Would 1t not be fair to give him
credit for some intelligence, for some
love of his dear ones for some hope
and aspiration for better results from
his labor, and that he will have the
manhood to act in consonance with
such purpose? In short is it not
better to deal with him justly. ad-
dress him kindly and labor some for
the promotion of his welfare? Does
not the party owe him something for
his fealty and his devotion? Ought it
not do something in his interest and
for his relief? Do syndicates, COM
blnes and trusts possess such an over
shadowing influence that this farmer
should be placed at their mercy and

ter how much sorrow. suffering or

! ditions among the people demand that
nothing produced by labor should be
| cheap. Cheap products mean cheap

mean hunger nakedness and distress.
That nothing is cheap to one producer
that is made cheap at the expense of
another producer is an economic prop
| Osition which can not be refuted.
What is most needed at present to
make the people prosperous and happy
is cheap dollar and dear DAVIS
work. They have been contending
with dear dollar and cheap days
work until debt and financial destruc-
ton is seen on every hand. Now they
ask for change and from the out
look are going to have it.
Perhaps some will say they can buy
more with dollar now than ever
before; this is no doubt true, and
herein lies the difficulty. There are
hundreds of thousands OF good citi-
zens eager for an opportunity to earn
the dollar but can find no employ
ment Besides what will the dollar
purchase more of? Absolutely moth
ing but the fruits of some other mans
labor.
Others will say that days work
will buy as much of the necessaries of
life now as ever before; grant that
this may be true, yet there are thou
sands who can not find the days labor
to perform; and if found. it will only
buy the products of some other DAYS
labor as cheaply. This idea of cheap
ness. as now understood, means the
product of one set of laborers COM
peting against the products of anoth-
er. set of laborers while money is
feasting and enriching itself on their
disasters.
The true test for this great question
is how many dollars will days work
purchase or how much interest or
principal will its products buy? If
it will purchase less dollars to-day
than one year ago. or if Its products
will pay less interest or debt princi-
pal then labor has decreased in value
or money has increased. This test
never fails. Try it.

This shows that the man who owns

miles has an immense advantage
against the savage Or pauper, who
pays 5000 for the privilege of carry =

doing like that ignorant savage or
pauper working at great disad-
vantage and a great loss against
heavy odds in favor of those who
own railways and steamships. That
shows why the rich grow richer and
the poor grow poorer. why railways
multiply millionaires and the farms
produce multiplying paupers in Amer

Often the papers report the fact
that fools go to gambling houses bet
against what are called banking
games, which have great odds in favor
OF the dealer or owner of the game,
and that fools nearly always lose.
But no fool can be found who ever
did or ever will bet against a gam
bler's banking game that has 10, $50
chances in favor of the dealer to one
in favor of the fool. yet that is Just
what tie farmer and every other
citizen does who permits a man or
corporation to own and operate the
peoples highways. The only way a
fool ever beat banking game was to
buy 1t out and become the dealer then
the chances all work in his favor and
not against him. The farmers have
been playing the FOOLS part long
enough. let them now buy out the
great banking game OF transportation
lines and become the dealers and have
all the chances in their favor by vot-
ing to have the people own all rail
ways and the national government
operate them. at cost for the benefit
of the common people and not for
favored few. The receipts of the rail-
ways in the United States in one year
now are enough to pay for building
every mile in existence. for labor. iron
and material are all worth less now
than they were When most of our
roads were built.
