strike for your home and your native
land.
The demos are now engaged in
cat and dog fight for the spoils of Office
they have secured by fraud, but the
populists continue to work for the over
throw of their fraudulent system
We will hazard the opinion that
there are more thinkers among the
farmers than there are among the busi-
ness men. We mean men who have
their own original ideas on every ques-
ton. -Paola Kan Times,
How consistent for Armour, Rookie
Teller & Co to pursue a commercial
system that makes millions dependent
on philanthropy, then turn about and
bestow few of their ill-gotten dollars
on harities. Justice to all would rem
der their gifts superfuous. Fort Worth
Advance
The government will solve the rail-
road problem that Jay Gould tried to
solve, viz, to build and so consolidate
and operate as to get the greatest
amount of service with the greatest
safety from the least expenditure OF
time and money The populists have
the plan for this Fort Worth Advance.
We have law of eminent domain
in this country by which the govern
ment reserves the right to control rail-
ways But these creatures have re-
versed the procession and they now
control the government, or, at least,
enough of our lawmakers to run things
their own way-Lamar (Mo.) Indus
trial Union.
When we see some of our friends
and neighbors hanging like grim death
to the delusiOn that one of the old
parties is a friend to the producing
classes we feel sick The politicians
form the policy Of the party and the
moneyed robbers own the politicians.
So where is there any chance? Let us
feel glad that the democrats now have
a chance to show their hand; they will
certainly show it in four years. Then
the people can see which is the blacklist,
the kettle or the pot.-Robeline Ia
Battle Flag.
Farmers, now is the time to prepare
for the harvest The campaign for 1896
should begin at once, and that cam
paign should be one of education. Dur
ing the long winter evenings is the
proper time for you to acquaint your
selves with the workings of your gov
eminent and thus become posted as to
what would be for the best interests of
all the people, and then with one voice
demand equal rights to all and special
privileges to none," and follow it up
with solid march to the polls.-Clark
Is. d. Honest Dollar.
The world is moving forward to a
higher plane of morality, the central
thought of which is the universal broth
erhOod of man. The church or the sOci-
ETY. which fails to recognize this fact is
being left behind Equal and just
rights are prominent among the de-
mands of the age True worth must
rule. The decree has gone forth and all
nature is responding. Man will sit I'M
der his own vine and fig tree and eat of
his own earnings while none shall say
you must divide with me. Then shall
peace reign and natures law rule SUI
eme.-Brookfeld (Mo.) Union.
When the old whig party became
too corrupt to longer receive the sup,
port of the people the best element of
the party helped form the republican
party. Now, after the republican party
has done the work for which it was or
gained, and had become a party of
boodlers and completely controlled by
the corporations and monopolies, for
which it was repudiated by the people
at the last election, the best republic
ans are leaving the rotten old party
and filling up the ranks of the peoples
party preparatory to the grand victory
for equal and exact justice to all;
special privileges and immunities to
none" in 1896. -Shelbyville UL) Peo-
pies Paper.
An important feature in the indus
trial development of the age, is the ad-
vanced stage of combination, which cap
ital has reached, while labor is still
struggling in the letters of the COM
petitive wage system. Combined cap
ital has forced its way into the legisla
tive halls Of the nation, and by means of
its corrupting power has succeeded in
entrenching itself behind bulwark of
legal enactments, which renders its DO
sltlon almost impregnable. Labor COM
6inatlons cannot cope with it. because
1t has the sanction of law, and the DOW
ers OF government are enlisted in its de-
Tense. How, then, shall labor escape
The answer is simple By the co-opera-
ton of all wage earners at the ballot
box -Salina Union.
