l. AS you love God and hope for eternal

party, and with a united ballot strike

Of our, fathers

received 90 per cent of what it produced?
DO you know that it now receives but
II per cent?
10 you know that $500 has been filched
from from every individual in this nation since
1900! A total of Sill ,612, O6O OOO Have YOU or
anypody mad that much expended in their
interest? Do you know that crime has in
creased 800 per cent in thirty years? Su-
lclde l67 per cent, and pauperism from very
rev to about 100000?
DO you know that business failures in
d aooo We're 500, representing a little over ST.
oOO,OOO increased in 1893 to over rs 600 repre
sentlng over 500 900 900?
DO you know that our tails prisons
asylums and homes for poor are all too
small?
Do you know that there are over 1000 600
tramps in this country?
DO you know that thirty years ago
tramps were thing unheard of?
DO you know that 100000 mortgaged
MONIES now make it the rule, while thirty
years ago it was the exception?
DO you know that debt to the amount of
$oo,oooOO,O00 is saddled upon labor in this
country? Do you know that foreigners
mold a third of this vast obligation?
Do you know that insanity has doublei
in the last thirty years?
10 you know that the practice of usury
is the cause of these conditions? Do Won
hhoW tnat one dollar at one per cent COM
fO,.
ana at "A per cent compound usury will
amount to over two billions of dollars? Do

think times are prosperous. Do you think
they are? If they are not what do you
think is the reason?
DO you think that either of the old par
ties will remedy these conditions? If you
do, you are deluded. The only hope of the
people is in the new party-the PEOPLES
Party. Fall into line!
The universal picture of despair written
upon nearly every countenance we meet de-
notes the inward consciousness of the hope
less struggle to provide for human needs
in the face of the fact that a few persons
possess the wealth of the country and use it
to deprive the industrial millions of the OPP
portunlties which the creator provided for
ALL
The rich, who toll not, have stolen the
wealth created by toll, through class laws,
enacted by Republicans and Democrats
Can't you see that the army of idlers is in
creasing daily under the operation of those
laws? The man who will vote to continue
either of those parties in power is only fit
to be a slave.
The men who will follow the footsteps of
the Benedict Arnolds who are leading their
parties today, only fit to be kicked off
the capital steps al Washington and fed in
soup houses.
