Democracy against PluloCIaCy.
DR.. HanIon Handles He'll Fire.

The Wor p~lut0cTat, plutOcracy coneS
from the word Pluto. Roman mythology
says, pluto was the glver of wealth,
at first a SURNAME of Hades, the god Of
the lower world, and afterward used as
the real name of the god. In ordinary
life he was usually called Pluto, because
people did not like to pronounce the
dreaded name of Hades. His charac-
ter is described as fierce and inexorable,
whence of all the gods he was most hat
ed. The sacrifice offered to him con
sisted of black sheep and the person
who offered the sacrifice had to turn
away the face. The ensign OF lis pow
er was a staff with which he drove the
lower world. He possessed a helmet
which rendered him invisible. Like
other gods he was not q faithful hus-
band. He gives the metals contained
i'll the earth. His hair falls over his
forehead and his appearance is dark
and gloomy"
Plutocracy means government by the
rich and for the rich. Democracy.
means government of the people, by the
people and for the people.
Rev. Thomas Hanlon, D. D., OF PEN
nington Seminary, who has taken the
stump for Mckinley and Hobart, spoke
as follows at a recent meeting at Elem.
iugton: "We will bury the silver devil
beside his g~reenback brother on the Sd
of November, and we will bury him so
deep that the heat OF his natural home
will warm his grave; W will erect &
tombstone wei his grave and inseribe
upon it: 'Died in 1896, and he sleeps
the sleep that knows no waiting
The Democratic platform declares in
favor of free coinage Of silver, which
means to take the silver from Pluto
and make it into money for the peoples
use. 1t declares in favor of the govern
ment, the people, issuing the paper
money and taking it from the bankers,
the rich. 1t declares against the is.
suing of bonds so the rich can live like
drones off The interest paid by the peo-
pie. 1t declares against trusts and
monopolies by which the rich rob the
laborer who produces as well as the con-
sumner. The platform declares for ar
bitration and against injunction law,
that is every mar shall have a trial by
jury. The railroads oppose that be-
cause then they can't get troops to
shoot their woIkmen down il they do
not take reduced wages nor lock them
up if they quit work. Mr.. Bryan adyo-
Gated a law when in Congress to com
pell automatic couplers to be put on
cars to protect human life but it would
have cost $4,000 600. Railroad Com
panies oppose him for that. 1t declares
for al income tax to compel the rich
to pay something toward the expenses
of the government from what they got
by unjust laws.
So you see the issue is the laborers,
the farmers, the producers and consum
ers against the rich. Labor against
capital, manhood against money, pa.
triotism against helEkLE.
Wesknow of no one who advocates
hell fire but Pluto and DR.. Hanlon.
Those who believe in the, common
brotherhood of man and the fatherhood
of God, who believe that all are equal
before the law and the raising up of
humanity do not advocate hell fire.
The difference between a savage or
barbarian and an educated and enlight.
ened man is in the use OF money. Free
silver and more greenhaeks means more
money and less misery.
Yes his g~Teenhaek brother las been
in puTgstoEy Is years, and free coinage
of silver has been in purgatoTy for %
years, They have become cleansed and
will come cat purified next Tuesday
and show what d heaven below more
money to know will make in America.
All the hell fire Plutocratic preachers
with DR.. Hanlon at the head can't stop
1t.
We are charged with making war on
religion Our religion Is the common
brotherhood of man and the fatherhood
of God, with more money and less mis-
cry. If that be treason to John Wes-
ley or any of his followers make The
most of it. We make war on the reli.
gion OF those who are on the side of
Pluto with his hell fire; on those who
would Cypress the masses to build up
rich classes; on those who are robbing
you of your homes, your happiness and
your life, for when they take that
wherewith you live they take your life.
If DR.. Hanlon wants a gold standard,
scarce money, poor farmers and labor.
ers and rich landlords he better go back
to Ireland where he came from. There
he had it. Why did he leave it If it
was so good? How does he expect
farmers to send thsir sons and daugh-
tiers to his school after putting the iron
heel of Oligarchy, u|surpation, tyranny
and despotism on them and making
them homeless and poor?
We graduated in the class of 80 at
Pennington Seminary and wa will han
die Bishop Newman, DR., Hanlon or
any other preacher without gloves as
they deserve to be on this question, who
makes such assertions.
