day before the people, are the tariff and
silver questions, and on these the
Democracy is true TO the people. In
the labor world the various trusts and
combinations have cOnSpire6 to rob the
laoorer OF the results OF his toll, until
capital and labor has been taught to
consider each the enemy Of the other.
la 1892 the people con-
demned this ruinOus policy
by millions of votes as against the best
interests OF allsthe people. But this
was only the preliminary skirmish.
The battle is again upon US, and there
never was time in the history Of tue
Democratic party when it should be
more in earnest nor more true TO the
teachings OF its friends and when ii
should take a determined stand for the
rights OF the people"
