power and TRUSTS d to divide and con-

this, Rno are putGlng aorGh every er-
fort TO accomplish this end. They
have had their emissaries on hand
everywhere trying to prevent joint
electoral tickets from being arranged;
failing in this, they try 20 fnG popu-
lists and silver democrats who can be
induced, on one prstext or another, 10
rebel sgaingt the JOINT electoral tickets,
They either have secured, or will &c.
cure, the services of every man that
money cap command, to breed dis
sensions end divisions.
THE danger lies in The possibility
OF certain portion Of the rank and
file of the peoples party being mislsd
by socallsd leaders, who for reasons
best known to themselves, or Cor want
of reason, are advising voters to rebel
against the joint electoral tickets and
put mp eepsrste electoral tickets, or to
withhold their support from the joint
electoral tickets.
DEMOCRATS OF THE REVENUE STRIPE.
"Some Of the democrats Of the rev.
enue stripe, who are not yet weaned
from the fesbpots of Egypt, but are
sticklers for regularity, and are noni-
nslly supporting Mr., Bryan, while
secretly and in every underhanded
way are trying 10 accomplish his de-
feat, are advising against the joint
electoral tickets, and, failing in this,
they advise democrats to scratch peo-
ple's party electors, and already
few so-called populist leaders are adj
vising the rank and file of our party
to strike back by refusing to support
the democratic electors on the joint
electoral tickets. This is a trap set
by the goldbugs, who are rejoicing
that a few honest men have fallen
into it. These reports today are the
only ones that buoy up the hopes Of
the republican managers, and the
democrats and populists who are thus
engaged are dong just what the gold
men most desire Therefore we ap'
peal TO every populist, who may have
been misled by such mistaken OF
false pleas Of pretended loyalty to
the peoples party into refusing sup.
port 10 such joint electoral tickets, tc
stop and consider the results Of such
conduct, and refuse to be influenced
by either misguided or corrupt men
BUT Two SIDES no THE CONFLICT.
"There are but two sides IN thu
conflict that is being waged in thii
country today. On the one side ar'
the allied hosts of monopolies, the
money power, great trusts, and rail
way corporations, who seek the en-
actment of laws to benefit them ant
impoyerlsh the people. On the otheI
side are the farmers, laborers, merch
ants, and all others who product
wealth and bear the burden of taxa
ton. The one represents the wealth!
and powerful classes, who want th,
control of the government to plunde
the people. The other represents tn
people, contending for equality be
fore the law and the rights Of man
Between these two there is no middl
! ground.
