Pleasant Register.
If Brother Tippett could give
one good, sound, logical reason
why farmer, laborer or man of
small means should not vote for
Mckinley, his statement would be
entitled to consideration.
What does Mckinley stand for?
He is the embodiment of the prin
ciple of protection to the farmer
and laboring man. He stands for
a sound dollar. When tlle farmer
land laborer earn dollar hcl&in-
ley proposes to see that. they are
paid dollar worth one hundred
cents, instead of an imitation dol
liar, worth 53 cents, which Bryan
is trying to tell us is Just as good,
| if not better. In short, Mckinley
ism is worth just AZ cents more on
the dollar than Bryanism. State
Jounal.
The farmer, the laborer and man
of small means should vote for
Bryan because he is in favor of
good, honest money bimetalism
16 to L; because he favors an ample
amount of money to transact the
business of the country; because
he is in favor of financial system
that will greatly raise the price of
farms and farm products, that will
give the working men more work
and better wages; because he is
in favor of financial system that
will cause bondholders to sell their
bonds and put their cash into real
estate and manufactures; because
he is in favor of financial system
that will Tighten the burden of the
oppressed; because he favors a
financial system that will bring
prosperity to the great masses OF
our glorious Union; because ho is
opposed to financial system that
specially builds up corporations,
trusts and combines mt the expense
of the farmers, laborers, mechanics
and men of moderate means; be-
cause he is in fuvor of liberty
and prosperity TO the masses and
square deal all round, and, be-
cause he is opposed to robbing the
toiling masses for the benefit of
the Shylocks of Great Britain and
Wall street; because he is the poor
mans friend from to lizard, from
"Pattigonia to ArizonGDa,"
Mr.. Mckinley stands for finan-
oial system that increases the al
ready colossal fortunes of the plu-
tocrats and aristocrats of Great
Britain and Wall street at the ex-
peuse of the masses of this great
country. He stands pledged to
financial system that has brought
more distress, more misery and
ruination than the great war of
the Rebellion. Hc is the candi-
date of the monopolists and the
plutocrats- the oppressors of the
poor.
He is pledged to financial sys-
tom that means more mortgages
and lowcr prices to the farmers,
lower wages, idleness and patched
clothes to the laborer and mechanic,
more tramps, more vagabonds,
more heart aches and more tears.
Talk about the single gold stand
ard-Republican McKinleyism-
being the friend of the poor man
and the farmer; it's nonsense-an
insult to their intelligence. Hard
ly one unprejudiced man in ten
would claim such ridiculous
thing.
The so-called 53 scent silver dollar
is the rankest kind of Republican
clap trap nonsense. The Republi-
cans claim that the silver mine
owners would make AZ cents on
each silver dollar coined by the
government in tho event of this
country return'g to the free coinage
of silver, and then turn around
and tell the laborers of the East
that this same dollar that would
be worth 100 cents to the silver
mine owner would only be worth
SO cents to them. Your argument
won't work, Bro. White; it con-
tradicts itself. The toiling mass
es of this country, in our opin-
ion, will not vote for the continua-
ton of the single gold standard
for the continuation of distress,
misery and poverty.
