UTTERANCES OF THINKERS.
CLIPPINGS FROM GREAT NEWS.
PAPERS.

National Reformer: The gold bugs
make the laws, the straddle bugs make
the platforms, and the humbugs make
the speeches. The doodle bugs in
dorse the whole thing.
Rappalee: When it becomes neces-
sary for this country to await the
pleasure of England before we can
again begin coming silver. it is about
time to hoist the English flag aver the
dome of the capitol at Washington.
The way things look so far as the old
parties are concerned, we might do so
soon.

ers will strike together, tramp togeth-
er, starve together, die together, but
they have not yet learned enough to
vote together. May our guardian an
gels hasten that day.
Kentucky Populist: Some unknown
individual has been looking up the
records relative to Jews as agitators,
and finds that the first strike on record
was led by Jewish walking delegate
named Moses, which took place in
Egypt 5000 years ago. 1t is suggested
as singular fact that his race has
furnished all the great socialists. Karl
Marx. LaSalle, Krapolkin, and Ban
kunln were all Jews; SO was Jesus, who
was so radical socialist that he
whipped the national bankers out of
the stock exchange in the Temple and
called them thieves, robbers. ETC., and
1T became necessary to suppress him
by the strong arm of the law, to pre-
vent a rising of the lower classes.
Moses was not only an agitator, and a
leader Of strikes, but he encouraged
the strikers to borrow great deal of
jewelry from the goldbugs of his day,
which was never returned to it's own
ers, and he caused the death of num-
Der OF deputy marshals and Pinker-
tons, by enticing them into a danger
Gus ford of the Red Sea.
Coming Nation, Tenn: The dan
gerous classes in this country are not
the ignorant wretches whom poverty
and dependence have made docile, as
the hireling press asserts, but the
great thieves and robbers who are
plundering people of their wealth
through infamous laws purchased of
venal and ignorant representatives OF
the people, and by trusts, combines
and monopoly. These are the enemies
of the republic. These are the real
anarchists, who recognize no law, who
raise the price of the peoples bread,
meat. coal and other neceSSaries of life,
lock them out of employment, keep
them them poor and depe ndent, and
hire all the great press of the country
to lie and deceive the people to their
undoing. This is the trouble that is
looming up in the near future and
which will not down. More naughty
than the slave driver, their fall will be
harder but they will fall or freedom is
mockery, and the people have lost all
self respect, reason or patriotism. And
the people are sound at the core today,
and will do battle for their rights more
yehementlY than ever men did before.
The nation faces the great question.
Cleveland Citizen: You can bet that
Oates will have a hard row to hoe be-
fore he can settle himself comfortabl
in the governors chair of Alabama.
Thousands of white men are swearing
to affidavits which expose the villainy
of the ballot-boX suffers. For ex-
ample. Wilcox county gives Oates a
majority of over 600. 1t will be shown
by atfidavits that not over 300 votes
were cast in the county, and that Pop
ulists secured a majority One pre-
cinct in that county returned 39l votes
for Oates and none for Kolb, when,
in fact, no election was held be-
cause the bosses knew that the popu-
lists were in the majority. Dothan
NV of To- ,l1yr
% votes for Kolb. Yet 100 white men
have sworn to affidavits that they
voted the Populist ticket in that pre-
ctnct. Lowndes county gave Oates
4,643 majority. according to the bosses
who counted. Evidence taken SO far
reduces that majority to 1914, and not
all of the voters have yet been seen.
And the above facts are fair samples
of the miserable condition of affairs
in all the so-called strongholds of
Democracy in Alabama. Yet the Re-
publican papers are as silent as grave.
Coming Nation, Tenn: With pre-
parations for war going on all around
you. with the government vleing with
the tyrants OF Europe in the number
and character of war ships, with the
generals and daily press manufacture
ing sentiment for larger standing
army, with the national armories run
ming full time on munitions of war,
with national appropriations of many
millions annually to army and navy,
with state appropriations increasing,
with regular army officers training the
militias, why is it you remain blind to
what the real import means? Every
thing is being got into readiness for an
empire, such as governed Rome-a
government of the poor by the rich.
Almost every line in the daily press
tells you this thing is coming, but you
can see it. If all those who own the
trusts and monopolies, those who live
off the people who work, were to make
affidavit that they were planning and
working to that end, would you believe
them? You feel SO secure in your Glib
erty" don't believe even that would
move you. Why don't you watch their
actions? No more evidence would be
necessary. When they have made all
their arrangements, when they have
the army with their friends in COM
mand. when they have the navy under
their faithful commodores, when they
have the munitions of war it has taken
years to create-what will your ballot
be worth then? You can outyote
them, yes, but they can laugh at your
