the government pulling steadily against
them. Hence, also, the absurdity Of
all other classes of middle men when
they refuse to cooperate with the
farmer in politics against the common
enemy. The only salvation for the
government is in the great middle
class; the only salvation for the middle
class is in combining in politics against
the money power and protected inter
ests on the one hand, and the anar.
chists on the other. The great mission
of such party would be to lift up the
poor with one hand, and to restrain
the rich with the other. Thus they
would defend the life of the govern.
ment, not only against the assaults of
extreme wealth, but against the as
saults of that poverty which is the re-
suit of the concentration of that
wealth in few mems hands. The
middle men have this power if only
they will exert it before it is everlast-
ingly too late. This, it would seem, is
a glorious, national, patriotic, loyal,
statesman-like mission. But if men
think it more sacred duty to continue
voting their old parties, thus boosting
the government and the country and
themselves on down to McGinnis, then
let them 60 ahead with their rat-kill-
ing. But if they thus, by ballot, ulti-
mately bring about such conditions as
that, revolution by arms will be the
only possible way out of the difficulty;
they need not then come whining
round about it. We have told them
about it in time, perhaps.
We farmers can stand a revolution if
anybody can. No one is likely to run
off with our farms, and we will try to
see to it that the reVOlutionists do not
get the drop on us or any of our folks.
Perhaps the only part we would take in
the revolution would be in defending
ourselves against being sold out on
mortgage or other indebtedness. This
we would do in the great political or
ganiZstion of middle men, since our
great purpose of that organization is to
insure that the revolutionary party is
not strengthened by recruits from the
middle classes. And / am here to tell
you that one man, recently sent down
to poverty, has more fire and brim-
stone in him than dozen who have al
ways been used to it. The great body
of middle men would not suffer so very
much from a financial war, a war car
ried on on business principles. But we
feel sad about the "north Atlantic
the money power, and NAM
moth protected interests. They will
have bit off something they do not care
to chaw. Yet, if anyone is to suffer
from war, it is only just that those who
have caused the war should shoulder
the responsibilities. And the harder
they will have made it for the people
the more difficult will the people make
it for them when the tables are turned.
This will be found true whether the
tables are turned by ballot or by "bags
net"
The money power and other govern
ment institutions have been waring on
the people for thirty years. The peo-
nle have hean lingering on through IL

Somebody Ought to Warn Them Of the
Danger.

ernment seems resolved on getting up
q revolution, and thus destroying itself,
il behooves the great body Of steady,
sensible and conservative people to
straightWay begin deVising ways and
means Of heading it off in the matter,
The difficulty that will meet the people
in this endeayor at the very outset is
in awakening the government to the
fact that there is anything wrong.
The government at Washington, by
which we mean not so much the pres
ident and members of congress, but
rather the money power and protected
interests which are legislating for the
country, don't seem to be allaliVe to
the fact that the people are becoming
a little impatient because they are not
in it. The money power and protected
interests go on legislating for them
selves, and congressman 60 on legislat-
ing solely with a view to getting back
to Washington, as though that was the
full measure Of government, and all
that could reasonably be expected of it.
They seem totally obliVious of the fact
that the people resent the affront Of
fered them when no attention is given
their interests, and the deaf-mute ear
is turned to their demands. The gov
erning power goes on legislating for
itself in the fullest confidence that all
that is wanted is to get laws enacted
and themselves reelected. But "some-
body ought to tell them" that if they
outrage the people too grossly and per-
sistently time may come when the
laws can not be enforced and there will
be no congress to go to.
The people are under no manner of
obligation to retain one form of gov
ernment if they know of another form
that they like better. There is always
under every form of government a
class Of citizens who desire its de-
struction; another class of citizens who
desire its perpetuity. If the majority
and stronger power desire its cotinu-
ance, it goes on; the greater power de-
sires its destruction, it goes by the
board. The "ins," or those who are
doing well under government, always
desire its perpetuity; the "outs," or
those who are not doing well, may de-
sire its destruction. This is especially
the case now. If we have a despOtism
it is money despOtism; if we are to
have revolution it will spring from
the same sound business principles.
If the government which is being in
terpreted to mean the money power
and protected interests, desires its con-
tinusnce only on the condition that it
legislates in their interest, and because
they are doing enormously we'll under
these benign provisions, then those
who are not doing well are likely to
will the discontinuance of the govern
ment if it legislates against them. In
deed, If the question of a revolution
comes up as it seems likely to do if the
government can not be aroused to the
danger, the query with every indiVid-
ual man will be, in which direction lies
my interests; will the temporary de-
struction of the government better my
condition or worst itp Can there be
any doubt as to the answer that will

criminated against. Every time thi
legislation sends man down to poV
erty, or even convinces him that he il
on the sure road that leads there,
reVolutionist is born. 1t is thus tina
the government is working its own de
struction, and somebody ought to tel
them about it. Common sense and {
knowledge of human nature no doub
would have told them long since if they
had not been SO thoroughly engrosse(
with their own interests and well laiC
plans. Possibly they may have thought
of it, but having so eminent opinion o1
the gullibility Of the people they may
have concluded that the masses coulC
be held in subsection by patriotism,
"loyslty," party habit and blarney
But how much patriotism" and "lOy
atty" do they manifest, and how
readily do they desert the party banner
if only their interest lie in some other
direction? The only patriotism and
loyalty they have is toward them.
selves, and toward the government in.
sOfar as it makes itself useful to them
Thia is very bad example to set the
people, and if the question of war is
not averted, the people are likely to ex.
hibit the same manner Of patriotism,
since the whole question has narrowed
down to mere matter of business, a
man scrambling for the advantage. II
the government has no nationalism, nc
patriotism, no loyalty, then you can't
expect the people to indulge
very largely in the article. And as tC
blarney, that is played. Somebody
ought to tell them about it.
You can't Judge Of the number OF
revOlutionists in the country by the
number of those who talk revolution
1t is fact in the history Of revolutions
that those men who give cause for the
revolution never realize that a reyolu
tion is threatened until it is on. In
this respect our money power and other
pets Of government seem to be as thor
oughly innocent of all knowledge OF
the temper of the people as were the
French mobiles. This can be accounted
for in two ways: They won't listen at
the calamity howlers," and the great
body Of reVolutionists don't talk out in
meeting. They scarcely realize them
selves that they are revolutionists-
perhaps, don't find it out till the thing
is initiated. These are a magazine,
silent and harmless until the match is
applied; the main line behind skir-
mishes. Herein lies the great danger
to the government of the Coxey move
ment, strikes and the like. Some such
thing may ultimately set the magazine
a-going, or bring the main line into
action. 1t is simply fearful the num-
Der of men from whom you would not
expect it, but whom you hear say since
the Coxey movement started up: 81
wish to God they would get up a war
between labor and capital" These
men want the war but they are wait
ing and hoping for "they" to get it up.
When it is up they are in it with rush.
Somebody ought to tell the govern
ment. That it does not already know
the fact and that knowledge does not
deter it from the evil of its way, is ex-

it in revolution, but not enough to
make it the instrument of oppression,
thus driving others into revolution. In
this great body of middle men resides
the salvation of the government, and
the only salvation. 1t is the only
power in the land great enough and
conservative enough to hold off the
money power and protected interests
with one arm, and the reVolutionists
with the other. In the very nature of
things this great body of middle men
are the only conserVators of the peace,
the only national party, the only body
of citizens from whom you may expect
conservatism, craftsmanship, patriot
ism and loyalty to the government.
The extreme wealthy are rerevolutionists,
as the cause; the very poor are revolu.
tionists, as the effect. Between these
two extremes the great bulwark of the
middle men who do not desire the de-
structiOn of the government because
of poverty and distress, nor work it's
destruction by the diabolical practices
Of great wealth. If the money power
and other government institutions sue
ceed in tearing down the great bull
wark, either by driving any consider
able numbers into the ranks of the
poor, or by bringing about such legis-
latiVe and financial conditions as that
middle men themselves will be indiffer-
ent as to the continuance of the gov
eminent, then the fate of the money
power and of the mammoth protected
interests will be sealed at once, or un-
sealed, as you may express it. They
will in days time lose all that in
years Of shameless and heartless in
trigueing they have gained. And the
mystery of mysteries is that they do
n OF see the point. Somebody ought to
tell them about it.
A prosperous middle class is the only
possible basis for the perpetuity of a
republican government. This does not
mean that the property of the country
should aggregate so many billion, but
that there should be comparatively an
equitable distribution of that wealth
among all classes Of citizens and with
every individual. No man can afford
to be patriotic and loyal on what other
men have; he can't live on the rattle of
the dishes while other men are eating.
The great body of middle men, to be
prosperous, every class composing it
must be prosperous. 1t is nonsense for
the farmer class to expect prosperity,
unless other classes of middle men are
prosperous; the farmer must have
somebody to sell to that has the money
to buy. 1t is equal nonsense for
other classes of middle men to expect
prosperity unless the farmer is prosper
Gus; they, too, must have somebody to
sell to that has the money to buy. And
the protected interests find, by the
present stagnation in trade, that they
cannot absorb the peoples money in
protection and then expect them to still
have it to buy their goods. And even
the money power, which seems to sup
pose itself above and independent of
all conditions and superior to all sd-
versities, finds that their money loses a
great part of its value when the peo-
