so one brief year of autocracy and mis-.

sure reversal OF that vote, which the
people gave in 1892, under their mis-.

This is upon the assumption that the
black clouds now lowering over the
Union may not grow into anarchy,
and civil war, under the continuance
OF the desolation, poverty and starya-
tlon which has been so ruthlessly cast
upon our people by this administra-
tiOn.
It is scarcely possible-short of abso-
lutte revolution by the masses and the

Mr.. Cleveland will permit the passage
of relief bills by Congress during the
term Providence has suffered him, as
scourge to misgovern and to flood tue
Union with disaster.
The defeat Of the Wilson tariff will
accomplish very little, except to pre-
vent greater additional shutting of
the work shops. The root of the evil
lies dceper-the black stream of dis.
tress flows from the wells Of avarice,
which were dug by Cleveland and his
allieS-to sink down the money Of the
world, and so to constitute themselves
the enemies of mankind. -
The circulation in the hand Of the
people today does not equal $500, ,006,-
900, and to bring back prosperity to
our people, such as we had after the
close of the war. or in 1890-l2, we re-
Quire more money for our 10000 coo Of
population, than the most prospe rous
nation of the world. France, which
now uses for her $4,000, 900 Of people

We will not get it, nor anything else
that could relieve our pros ira tion,
during the administration of Grover
Cleveland. "Object lessons" claimed
to be sent by autocrats are not
chance creations of man, but are per-
mitted by Providence for some wise,
though mysterious purpose.
t has been apparent for twenty
years that the Republican party could
not be destroyed so long as the Demo
cratic organization remained vigorous
enough to keep in constant irritation
the partisanShipo the other SO far as
faithleSsness to pledges and duty go,
it was six Of one and a half dozen Of
the other by the leaders, who con-
trolled and guided the great political
battles. The destruction of one of
these machines has been the cOndi
tion precedent to obliteration of the
other. Democratic principles, as
formulated by true, patriotic men,
will live forever: and it seemed two
years ago as if the Republican party
organization would be the first to die.
But Mr.. Cleveland will go down in
hstory-apart from the Obloquy and
condemnation of his administrative
acts-as the assassin and butcher Of
the grand party which had lived
proudly and honorably through the
vicissitudeS of a century.
There is a fixed intent in the public
mind today, not to make any mis-
take in utterly defeating the Demo
cratic adm iniStration leaders. To ac-
complish this there will be rush to
the support of the Republican candi-
dates everywhere.
That does not mean long life to that
organization, for when the people
have given their verdict as to this adj
miniStration. there will be an imme-
diate, stern, implacablc war made up
on the other organization, which is
credited with its full share in the evils
shoWered upon the country today.
with US revolutions are rapid, and this
decade will witness the phenomena Of
wiping out of existence two great and
powerful organizations: and the peO-
pie at last taking charge OF their own
affairs, and placing servants in trust
ed positions who will be honest, fai TIL
full, watchful, and never charged with
venality, treachery or betrayal of
duty.
The Peoples party. in its brief
| career, has had as signal evidence OF
perjury and treason as either of the
others. And this will continue until
the old rule is again enforced of let
! ting "the office seek the man.
Yours truly,
