safe place to deposit money u national
bank hundreds Of which have gone into
bankruptcy during the past year.
! =. Don't You think that any man who
can give ample security, has as good q
right to obtain q loan from the United
States, at one per cent as a national bank
err?
3. Don't you think 1t would be wise for
the United States to coin its own silver
product instead Of selling it to England tor
90 cents per ounce and permit her to coin
each ounce into $1.43, the profit OF which
enables her to hold commercial supremacy
In all the silver using nations OF the globe.
4. Don't you see that England's golden
opportunity Is made manifest in the fact
that In proportion as our silver bullion de-
clines In price. her profit resulting from
coming it enables her to purchase wheat.
cotton. in fact. the worlds products at
prices which rules US out Of the markets
Of the world?
5. Don't you think it would be wise to
foreclose the mortgages, $226, O0O, 900, which
the government holds against the Pacific
railroads, upon which, said roads have
never paid one penny OF interest?
.. Don't you see that II either Of the
OLD political parties rules as they have
done In the past, that those Pacific rail-
road debts will be again funded and never
paid, and that all the other monopoly
privileges will be maintained and increased
until all the wealth Of this continent will
pass into the hands Of the millionaires.
I. AS you love God. and hope for eternal
happiness. as you love your kindred and
the inalienable rights of man. rally at
once around the standard Of the People,
party, and with a united ballot strike
down despotism, and restore the liberties
Of our fathers
tnls country pays less wages than in Great
Britain?
DO you know that 80 years ago labor
received SO per cent Of what it produced !?
DO you know that it now receives but
II per cent?
from every individual in this nation since
1865? A total of $11 612, O6O 900. Have you or
anybody had that much expended in their
interest? Do you know that crime has in
creased 800 per cent in thirty years? Su-
iclde lo7 per cent and pauperism from very
few to about 100000?
Do you know that business failures in
1866 were 800, representing little over ST.
OO0,OO0, increased in 1893 to over Is 00O repre-
senting over $1,000, 100000?
Do you know that our jails, prisons,
asylums and homes for poor are all too
small?
Do you know that there are over 2,0OO, 900
tramps in this country?
DO you know that thirty years ago
tramps were a thing unheard Of?
Do you know that 100000 mortgaged
homes now make it the rule, while thirty
years ago it was the exception?
Do you know that debt to the amount of
1900, 600 is saddled upon labor in this
country? Do you know that foreigners
hold third Of this vast obligation?
Do you know that insanity has doubled
In the last thirty years?
Do you know that the practice of usury
is the cause of these conditions? Do you
know that one dollar at one per cent COM
pound usury for 100 years amounts to 81 75
and at "a per cent compound usury will
amount to over two billions Of dollars? Do
you know that labor pays all usury? Do
you know that peace cannot reign till usury
is abolished?
II you do not know these things you may
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
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 few persons
possess the wealth Of the country and use It
to deprive the industrial millions of the op-
portunities 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 slave.
The men who will follow the footsteps Of
the Benedict Arnolds, who are leading their
parties today are only fit to be kicked Oft
the capital steps at Washington and fed in
SOUP houses.
