TALKS LIKE THE NEWSBOY

In his speech at Pertle Strings
Senator Tillman said: "They tell
you as an excuse for low prices that the
cause is found in over production. II
this be the cause, why are there over
100000 of tramps out of work,
marching up and down the road ask
ing for something to do2 Why are
there so many poor wrctches whose
limbs are shiverine for want of
clothes? Why is corn rotting in
the Missouri bottoms? Why is it
farmers arc unable to give it away
ut 20 cents Il bushcl?
People out of work, begging for
bread and our bond holding masters
issuing s500. 900. 900 worth more at
per cent to add to our obligations.
What spectacle
OIt was not until after 1873 that we
heard of the tramp in America. And
never until we get both gold and sill.
YER back to <heir proper standard
will these hard times and shrinkages
IN value cease.
Many of you are in debt and are
struggling to remove the burden of
mortgages from your back. But
you cannot do it. Under the present
system it is as vain for YOU to at
tempt it as it would be for me to
order the heavens to close their flood
gates now when it is raining so hard.
have before used the illustration
of man having two plates of butter.
one yellow and the other white. The
white butter l know as a farmer is
not as good as the yellow. but if a
law is passed at the behest of Mr..
Cleveland. declaring the white butter
to be 'unsound. then we Won t have
Us much butter for our biscuits
that S sure.
We now ask for the restoration OF
that white butter at the ratio of Ii
to /, and so help us God, we will
have it.
My friends. you have got to say;
I'VE will get into the middle of the
road. > And you have got to say to
Cleveland Democrats and Sherman
Republicans: Come after US, or by
heavens. we will quit you.
You hear of overproduction. The
only overproduction in this country
to-day is that of rascals in Office and
OF fools who put them there. There
is an overproduction of paupers and
and over production of Millionaires
who make paupers. There are many
other kinds OF overproduction in this
glorious country, but the fools are
the biggest crop, and we need fool
killer to come and beat US over the
head.
You have reached a stage my
friends, when you must say: ''We
will vote for the country and as
the members of the Farmers Alli-
gance used to say: For Betsy and
the baby"
The only way the Democratic party
can win is by adopting silver plat
form and nominating silver candi-
date. We have got to reach out our
hands to those Republicans who have
seen the error of their ways and we
have got to reach out our hands to
political orphans and take them to
our breast.
Why, there are only 1900 Demo-
Gratis in the State of Colorado, and
only twice that many in Kansas.
am Democrat and expect to die
one. But if Cleveland and Carlisle
are to set the pace of Democracy and
are to prescribe it's rules, so help me
God, l will never vote the ticket any
more. We have got to get the silver
men together. You have got to
fight the battle not only as a duty
to yourselves, but to your wives and
little ones. If you put party above
country and adherence toparty above
principle, you deserve the slavery
which is fast fastening to encircle
the neck of one-half or two-thirds of
the people of this country. 1t is
well for you to hear this and begin
