are worn out We have lived withou

years. Conservatism has changed *
retrogression. The extremes have
touched. Rsdicalism must follow retro

ment Of forces must be had. The pres
emit conditions mean death to all progress
The old order is dying hard. Il assumes
the role Of q martyr, and will die with
out conRsssing it's sins. We are In q
period OF unprecedented decay. The Rd-
ministrstion, the congress, the courts,
are devoid of the springs of intelligent
action; over all pervades an atmosphere
Of hypocrisy and imbecillty. Like Bel
shazzsr, they are feasting while the
Meads are approaching. With shame
less disregard Of the rights Of the people,
the theory and traditions Of popular
government, the rulers Of the nation
have struck off at one blow more than
half OF an already short currency fund.
This is the greatest and most unjusti-
fable public crime Of the century. A
gold standard and its incidents, a policy
OF monarchiSl government, 10 adopted
without let or leave Of the people, and
without any modification to meet the
altered conditions Of a new and free
country. A false and unsettled issue
over tariff reform is kept up in congress
which allows few "home industries" to
plunder and throw out Of employment,
q patient and long suffering people. Gov
eminent is held with it's "nozzle against
the bank" swsy from the masses, for
fear that they will get the benefits Of
OF the 'paternslism" that the gold-bugs
and home Industries" enjoy. The ma
jority must put up with "individualism"
and competition" while the minority
have the harvest fields Of "psternslism"
and monopoly" The attitude of gov
ernment in this country is no different
or better than monarchy. IL is en-
ployed to assist in the discrimination Of
the few against the many. We have in
operation the converse Of what popular
government should be. These wrongs
have not passed unnoticed and without
protest. The weak small voice is abroad
through the land. The word Of warn
ing has gone forth. IthRs been drowned
in confusion of tongues. A few true
men have spoken out In the national
council, but they have been jeered and |
mocked. Petitions Of grievance have
found their way into the waste basket. |
The people, the right, must not be heard.
This is q rule that has served absolut-
ism for centuries, but they must and
will be heard.

tition "in boots" TO congress to correct
existing abuses insofar as that body can
do 30. Nothing is asked but what con-
gress has both a legal right and moral
obligation to do. The opposition to this
army is on line with the opposition and
disregard Of the people that have actusted
the national rulers for years. It differs
now only in being direct, instead of in
direct, as heretofore. Coxey's army
more nearly represents the people in
sentiment than the rulers now in power.
A Coxeyite who would not make better

dent than Grover Cleveland, is unworthy
