desire to give their children an eman-
cipated republic give them better
opportunities than they ever enjoyed,
E and to settle for all time that foreign
dictation must end.
Why even in the days of Jackson,
the foreign money lords owned stock in
the United States bank and sent their
agents to lobby in Congress. Now with
the nation under their heel and nearly
1000 United States banks, to do their
bidding, it will take giant struggle to
save the temple of liberty. They are
endeavoring to purchase both houses of
Congress, they already have the Pres
ident and Cabinet and if Congress sells
The birth rights Of the people, it is time
for political revolution. The panic
we are passing through was made to
order, to force the people to petition
for the repeal of the Sherman act.
Every petition that has gone forward
has been secured by loan agents or
bankers and the deluge showered on
Cleveland, for an immediate session of
Congress, was all arranged by orders
sent to financial institutions in every
state.
This panic has been an object lesson
to tens of thousands and we must have
a Legion in every town to be constantly
doing missionary work. If our people
will not organize now, they will be
enslaved 1t is the deliverance of mil
lions and yet we stand waiting and not
rallying in solid ranks, shoulder to
shoulder. in readiness to meet the
common enemy.
Some wait to see if the Alliance will
rally; some tear pet theories will not
have full sway; some would rather
quarrel and rend each other; some are
disappointed some with the enemy's
gold in their hands, some that desire to
make merchandise of the peoples vote
fear organization, Yet there are
thousands who ever rally on the
skirmish line, that have established the
out posts and are confronting the
} treacherous enemy.
