POINTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

The peoples independent party Is
the anti-monopoly party. The old par
ties are the legislative tools of the
monopolies. Which will you support:
The only strike that can win is the
strike at the ballot box, and the only
boycott that will help the laboring
classes is the boycott of the two old
| parties.
There is one bigger fool than the
man who hopes to get relief from pres
ent conditions by voting the democratic
ticket-and that is the man who thinks
he can do it by voting the republican
ticket Star and Kansan.
IF it is better to let private corpora
tions conduct the telegraph and tele-
phone business. why not turn over the
mail business also and let them put it
on the same basis ''all the tariff will
bear?"-Chicago Express.
The people are oppressed on every
hand; the one cry for relief is heard at
every turn, and every law the
statue books is there by one or the
other of the old parties. Will the peo-
pie never find out the cause of their
misery?-Industrial Union.
What next fool thing is in the
way of prosperity? Confidence has
been restored, the tariff is out of the
way, and Gen. Miles has busted" the
strike! Oh, we forgot Grover hasn't
got that issue of $500. 900, 900 and Wall
street won't be satisfied until it gets
them.-Chicago Free Trader.
There is no earthly need of the old
parties making platforms. Their
records in congress prove them to be
in favor of the corporations and against
the great plain people in all things.
Let their platforms be: I'VE point
with pride to our past record as tools
Of corporate monopoly" and let it go
at that.-Chicago Free Trader
Those who helped to place the pres
ent administration in power under
the impression that true demo-
cratic principles would prevail because
their tickets read democratic" can
certainly see to what ends their devo-
ton to party name has led them. 1t
has, to use the language of Mr. Cleve-
land, been great object lesson. =
Missouri World
Democrats tell us that as soon as
the new tariff gets in good working
order times will begin to get better at
once. and we will begin to see the
beauty of their policy. Very few peo-
pie are green enough to pay any atten-
ton to this; they told us the same
story when they had committed the in
famous act of repeating the Sherman
law, when they knew it would ruin the
poor people of the country, Industrial
Union
When your old party leaders and
their followers hear you are about To.
or have thrown off, the party collar
they will try all sorts OF plans to brine
You back, and among other things will
SAY: Nov. | always supposed Won had
too much sense To 20 off after strange
gods. Then tell them that ii is be-
cause you have sense and found that
you can no longer stay with the blind
who are led by corrupt and heartless
leaders -Nonconformist
The New York Sun wants the two
Old parties TO get together TO crush
ont the populists," Itwould he bless
I'M If the two old reprobates would
join forces, Decent people would then
sec where we are at" and get into the
peoples party. The two old parties
have been one in thought ana action
for years, and have only been kept up
In order 10 keep the people divided.
while the plutes lick the platter
clean. "-Chicago Free Trader.
The peoples party Of South Dakota
declares: That since the coal beneath
the ground is rs much the inheritance
Of humanity as sunlight and air, there +
fore the government OF the United
States should by the right OF eminent
domain take possession Of all coal lands /
within its boundaries, paying the true
Falue of such lands as the pretended
owners may have acquired and that
The menes shall be operated By the gov
eminent in the interest of the people"
That's the stutf"-Exchange
