past Is or so years, that all measures and
policies Of their adoption has been to
make millionaires. i And right here, let
me ask: Do you believe you can create
millionaires without making paupers?
Did you ever think OF that? This failing
to think for yourself and taking the ''po-
itiSal wash" of the corrupt old twins"
has bound the people of this once glorious
country hand and foot.
Wheat selling at As cents and if it aver
ages that in this section for the crop Of '9o
the farmers may congratulate themselves
that they were not compelled through
debts and the wheat ring), to sell for 20
or 80 cents. Don't believe the single
standard has anything to do with the
price of wheat and all other products and
values" eh! You don't believe the more
money in circulation the better the
times? If not why was 1t that the most
prosperous times the country ever saw fol-
lowed upon the close of the great rebel
lion? When we had a per capita of over
$50? Are you still looking for that wave
Of prosperity" that was sure to come on
the repeal of the Sherman act?" If so
you may as we'll look for shower Of dia-
monds from the sky as to look for that,
through eithey of the old parties with
gold standard.
Push the reform papers. Our only hope
| is in the education of the masses. Let
every true patriot buckle on the armor
| of reform and 60 forth a gladiator for
| God and humanity and do all in his power
to wrest this country from the moneyed
usurpers of human rights. Go out into
| the highways and byways and preach the
gospel of the lowly Nazarine as embodied
in the Omaha platform.
| GO into the fight; fear not, daily not,
but from this hour let your heart be filled
| with the divine righteousness of our
cause. And il you will thus act, the bene-
/ diction of millions yet unborn will be cast
like immortelles upon your patriot
graves-your children will rise up and
call you blessed" You hear "call" to
the ministry Of justice. It comes from
sodden plains where poems and surfs have
given their red blood to make the noble
born the arbiters of human woe. You
hear it from the great factories. You
hear it from the deep and dismal mines
where death and solitude hold silent COM
munion. You hear it from the millions
of evicted farmers who tenant the farms
which they once owned.
The chapter of human history is begun
today! The book lies open on the arm Of
the great throne, and the Almighty's
eyes are following the finger of the Christ
That finger traces the mighty destiny tt
us unrevealed.
March We forward to the conflict. Lool
We neither to the right nor to the left, mol
to the rear. A swift coming destiny
awaits-its wings beating at the porta
of the present It's wings are spread for
ever. It has brooded ovel
the race for centuries, and the lifting o
the mighty wings has uncovered the hear
of humanity. Arise, and let your soul ex
ult. Arm yourself with earnestness. B.
brave and strong and true and just
and may God bless us and give us the vic

"Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o. battle lower;
See approach proud Edwards power,
Chains and slavery!
"Wha will be traitor knave,
VIVA can fill a towards grave,
Wha sac base as be a slave,
/, Let him turn and flee!
"Wha for Scotland's king and law,
, Freedoms word will strongly draw,
Freemen stand, or freeman ia
Let him follow me!
| ''By oppressive woes and pains,
, By your sons in servile chains,
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
LAY the proud usurper low!
Tyrants fall on every foe!
, | Liberty's in every blow!
Let us do or die!'
