Iu6 larger part or the taxes to pay"
The Alliance and those who advocate
financial reform have given the subject
careful consideration, and they know
h Treasury or something better
will give the needed relief. These re
formers are the only ones who have
studied the question and understand
the situation and advocate a remedy
Tor existing depression. The refOrmers
know the remedy proposed will give
n needed relief and bring prosperity.
The writer referred to would saddle
that fraud tariff reform upon the peO-
pie. Mr.. Plutocrat, you cannot fool
financial refOrmers any longer. This
howl about the tariff has been going on
for three fOurths of a century, and is
no nearer a solution than when it be-
gun. The financial reformers will ad-
just n tariff so as to give relief to all.
we had a taste Of your method of
tariff reform in ~1S57-4737, and it cost
the people three thousand millions of
dollars. It took the coin out of the
country and compelled us to compete
with pauper labor of other countries to
get it back. 1t deprecated prices and
brought woe and misery to the wealth,
producers. The Republican financial
policy and your tariff policy works in
the same direction; it eQueezos more of
the necessaries and luxuriea of life into
the goldite's dollar. The plan proposed
by the Farmers Alliance, the business
men will not face panics, for this plan
will eliminate all the conditions that
is class legislation" Glass legislation
is legislation for one class at the ex-
pense Of another. When each class re
ceives corresponding benefit there is
no class legislation. If the cotton
planter sells his cotton for IA cents per
pound, won't he be better able to pay
his debts, doctor bills, buy more of the
merchants, and won't the factories use
more and labor be better paid? Will
pay any of tho sc p~lutocrats $50 if they
will disapprove this in THE Progress
sIvE FARMER. Who opposes this move
ment for financial relief?
Bankers, money powers, spectators
and the gamblers in the necessaries of
life, and all who are engaged in rob
bling the peOp e.. The office seekers
who hope for office that have grown in
value by this robber system two to
four hundred per cent. in twenty five
years.
There is an immense bowling about
class legislation by the kickers as to
financial reform, but they have not one
word tosay against lOaningth national
banks the peoples credit at | per cent
and Compelling them to borrow it back
at 6 to 40 per cent. to get into circula-
ton. Every paper and all politicians
who o2pOse financial reform are the
champions of all the mOnopOlists that
now Cypress the people. There is
neither sense or common honesty in
this CRY of class legislation, and those
who are engaged in it are doing it for
office. Ask one of those hOwlers for q
bill of particulars and they are as dumb
as an oyster. The farmers and laborers
intend to place themselves where they
can fix a price on all they have to sell
and on their labor, and when they have
done this they will be where the fac
tories are,
Republican politician.-"Haven't we
given you protection Of % cents per
bushel on wheat and other things in
the same ratiO?'
What does your tariff of % cents per
bushel amount to when the price of
wheat Is fixed in Liverpool? You know
the price in Manitoba is the same as in
Northern Dakota, and the farmers
must compete with Russia and India
and sell at the same price. You knew
| Will W lCN1Ou OLlIO ~ Ill ~ OlA1 L4OO
add one cent to the price of a million
bushels of wheat. You levied this
tariff to deceive the farmers. You
gave the farmers protection with pro
lection left out. You left the finance
of this country in a shape so the money
devil in England could fix a price on
his wheat, When the farmers ask you
to give them a financial system that
will enable them to fix a price on their
wheat, you turn up your eyes In hypo-
critical horror and cry "uncOnstitu-
tional," fiat idiots, - crazy lunatics, "
you will ruin the country by disturb
ing the finance. 1--WE must MAINTAIN
an honest dollar to protect the poor
lab bring man" Yes, you demOnetized
silver so you could furnish England
silver for 80 cents to make an India
dollar worth in India n hundred
cents. You have shaped finance so
England can buy ten-cent cotton for
seven cents, and one dollars worth of
wheat for seventy cents, You compel
the farmers of this country to compete
with paupered labor in India and Egypt
that work for four to six cents a day.
The Republican robbers and the Demo
Gratis Iegislate for England for English
gold and Office.
The people are going to protect them
selves by assuming the refns of govern
ment and establishing sub treasures
and issuing $50 per capita of legal ten
der United States notes and put them
into circulation without anyone
interfering. They will form q
trust and fix a price on all
they have to sell, and get it. They will
do for themselves that which you have
done for the factories, Uice, reserve to
themselves the exclusive control OF
their home market, and when foreign
countries have consumed their surplus
they propose to make them pay a Ilv-
