country is upon us.
How will you meet 1t -,
The question. in O nut shell, which every
man must answer, is
Shall the dollar rule the people, or shall the
people govern the dollar
What answer have you 10 this question from
the Republican party and from the Demo
cratic party r.
The verdict Of the Republican party for
twenty-seyen years has been that the dollar
shall rule the people.
The Democratic party has for years prom
ised that the people should govern the dollar,
but how have they voted Always the other
way. ,-, -
Can you and will you longer imperil your
liberty. and even your right TO exist as free
men. upon their future promises!
The people in their innocence and lgno-
rance always thought that q majority ruled
in the lower house of Congress. but they ma
now that il is controlled absolutely by small
minority
On that great and vital question Of money.
both parties have proved 10 the country by
their o, II acts that there is no difference be-
tween Democrat and Republican
Come, then, and unite with US on that
strong and broas declaration of our prlncl-
pies as embodied In the ST. Louis platform.
This means action for the good OF all and
| injury 10 no one.
This destroys the combination now existing
among the money kings and monopollsts;
| This gives TO each person in this broad lana
! an equal and even chance IN the battle OF
/ life
If you love your homes and your country,
| if you would save for your children the pleas
ant heritage won by your fathers. then you
will Join the grand army Of patriots which Is
everywhere enrolling for the redemption OF
| our people from the heel of the oppressor.
Now il no time TO stand idly by. Duty calls
every man who has the spirit Of man and
manhood will triumph.
Let us Join hearts and hands in this glorious
cause and the God of mercy and justice will
! smile upon our efforts.
