Neither is your climate unfavorable
by comparison. Tt IS the climate in
which the Aug,o Saxon has always
made his great civilizations. As Bob
Tngersoll says, Never was there
a great people who could use the blue

that YOU are PROSTATE because of the
crime Of 1873. My friends, you are
! PROSTATE because OF the crime Of
1895, the crime of sitting supinely
in these valleys, with all your wealth
of water and of land, while humanity

there has been taxed the stupendous
sum of one thousand million dollars
Where is it? Gone to build palaces
in San Francisco, New York and
London, and to recruit the jaded
fortunes of broken down foreign
princes. Where are the Ave hun

This is the time OF opportunity for

to fight this battle through to
glorious triumph ia the next four
years.
