you are our slave aud not our ruler;
you shall rot impose upon us public
agents who will betray the people TO
serve you IN the future-to reward
them for perfdy to the people IN the

next two years, with corruption in

the people shall do so in the purity
and simplicity OF. the fathers in which
our foundations were laid.
ITO the great middle class citi-
zens of this State; You who seek
neither Offices, nor franchises, nor
plumber; who are content to live
honestly and faithfully; who love
this country and its flag; are we not
entitled to live honestly and faithful
ly::who love this country and its flag;
are we not entitled honest govern

clamor Of banks and railroads turn

name of Nebraska,
TO our best citizenship: Is it
not time you turned around and stop
ped this anarchy? What anarchy is
there so hateful, so destructive and
ruinous, as that of the banks and
railroads who corrupt our legisla-
lures and defy our laws? 1t is this
that makes the other kind of anar-
chlsts-thOse of the bomb and red
flag. Let uS down with anarchy by
making the corporations, the bank
ers, and railroads obey the laws.
Let us not give them immunity for
their crimes. They must be
made by you-the great middle,
class, the great citizenship
Of the State-to take their place
as servants at the masters ia

men to-day see their champions in
their contests with capital under in

violating laws by corporations which
daily violate the laws and defy the
courts and sap the fountains of JUS

whose ministers walk the earth as
they were its lords and kings. When
the poor man violates the law they
put him in jail with rats and vermin.
while his family sleep on the side
walk and eat the soles of their shoes
for their breakfast, their dinner, and
supper. To the rich violator of law
and despoiler of justice is given the
freedom of the earth--to his family
is brought rare food and rich raj
ment from the east and from the
west-for he has his yoke upon the
people.
This is what makes the the red
