cheek by jOle with John Sherman,
(Rep.) in the effort to demonetize
silver, and to still further extend
government favOrs to national
banks. Think of Republican plu,
tOcrats heartily endorsing the Dem
Ocratic administration. Think OF
the lucid terms in which the Nc
Kinley tariff law was denounced
before the election) as the culmi.
mating atrocity of class legislation
as robbery of the great majority OF
American citizens for the benefit OF
a few. Think with what placidity
the same democratic administra.
ton permitted this atrocity to re.
main on the statute books with all
of its atrOcity, and even now the
pretended makeshift for q tariff law
is but very little better if any.
Think of the issuance of CSC, 900.
600 in interest bearing bonds in the
time of peace and when there was
S1S3, 600, 900 of gold and silver in
the United States treasury and that
these bonds were contemplated and
arranged for by the Republican
party and even the plates engraved
and the plan carried out to a letter
by the Democratic party.
Think of the determination of the
Democrats with the Republican
methods. Think of Cleveland ap.
pointing Republicans, black and
white to important positions OF
honor and trust. Think of Cleve.
land violating sacred rights of State
sovereignty, and how he has been
lauded, therefor by Republicans
aud Democrats alike. Think how
by machine politics each State that
has held o convention has been
forced to endorse the Cleveland
administration when it is q well.
known fact that the majority OF
the people regard it as the most in.
famous administration that has
been inflicted upon the people.
Think of the manner in which
the Democrats of the State of Lou
isiana denounced the high protect
i've policy of the Republican party.
Think of how the Democratic party
has been pleading with the negro
to endorse the Democratic admins
tration and to come to its support.
Think of how the Democratic party
of the fourth congressional district
rejected the proposition of the
Peoples party to finally settle the
much looted question of white SUI
premacy, and that too, after the same
Democratic party has been hopl-
ing negro domination for twenty
years or longer. The bottom Is
failing out of Democratic preterts
in a hurry, and it is all owing to
the great system of education that
is waged by the Peoples party
press, it is true, that any system of
education which has for it's object
the enlightenment of the masses o.
the people must of necessity be
slow, but it is the only sure course
to pursue, among the many eviden-
ces that we are right, is the contin-
ued renewed vigOr with which the
education of the masses are 80 per-
sistently opposed. 1t is an indis-
putable logical conclusion that if
the system of education that is now
being carried ON by the Peoples
party was not materially endanger-
ing the existence of the old pluto
cratic parties, there would not be
90 much opposition and SO many
efforts to destroy it. Now let us
say to every intelligent man in this
country that there is beyond any
question Q movement on foot to
crush out the reform movement
that is now going on, and if it is
necessary to do no, the two old par
ties will be as lambs in each others
arms. They are determined to keep
the people divided. You have evil
dence that all corporations and
trusts donate money to carry cleo
