Mr.. EDITOR am glad TO be able
to inform you that while YOU do not
hear from Roderick very often, that
he is yet living, thinking and o5sery-
ing. Notwithstanding the Demo
Gratis promised us last fall if We
would elect Mr.. Cleveland that the
prices of cotton, tnrpentine. &c.
would advance, Roderick yet sees cot
ton sell for 7 cents per pound and
tnrpentine for $l.6O per barrel.
| What does all this mean: We can't
| understand il. Do you tell me that
the GREAT and GLORIOUS Democra-
tic party has violated its SACRED
promise:
Democrats tell us that they are
not responsible for the bad laws
from which We are suffering. Have
they not had charge of this govern
ment since the 4th day of last March
and have they not had time to have
repealed every bad law that oppress-
ed the people?
Tell Us, oh, do tell lis, which way
that wave OF prosperity that the
Democrats told us last fall would
follow the election of Mr.. Cleveland,
has gone.
Dear voters, what have the Demo
Gratis been telling you was keeping
down the price of your cotton: Did
they not tell you that 1t was the tar
iff? Did they not tel you if you
would elect them that they would re-
peal the tariff? Patient voters, W hat
are they doing on that line now:
The great Democratic leader of
New York, (Mr. Cockran), says that
the Democrats will repeal the Me-
kinley bill, hut will copy one from
it and pass it. Fellow citizens, what
diffele ence does the name make?
Wher- are those speakers who
told the people last fall that the dem
ocratic party was in favor of free
silver? Were they mistaken or try
ing to fool the people?
democratic editors are now saying
that Cleveland has deceived the peo-
pie. Kind friends, do you not re-
member how the followers of the
Populist party were prosecuted last
fall because they dared to tell the
people that Cleveland would fool
them if elected? Has Cleveland
alone deceived you? No, my friends,
the democratic party has deceived
you; for the majority of the demo-
cratic party is believing and acting
with Mr.. Cleveland.
Are you in favor of free silver? If
you are, why don't you unite with
party that is in favor of it: Why re-
main the defenseless tail end of the
democratic party when you see that
the policy of the controlling part of
that party is opposed to silver:
Remember, kind voters, that every
Populist congressman has stood like
a stone wall in defense of silver and
the people; while majority of dem
ocratic congressman have sought to
slay silver and the best interest of
the people.
Listen to the exhortation that so
many Southern editors are giving to
congressman. They say give us free
silver or the Populists will carry the
next election. Why don't they say
give us silver because it is right?
Dear Editor, why do you try to
scare your congressman with the Pop
ulist party? Do you think these
measures are right? If you do, why
don't you join in with a party that is
in favor of enacting them into law?
Why do you try to frighten the peo-
Pile away from a party that you in
directly acknowledge Will give them
Justice?
Voters, watch the democratic cdi-
tors that have recently been so clam
orous for free silver and see if low
