Mckinley and the Trus $.

The leremlads now being de ivered from pulpits, rostrums. and other public halls, as well as those seat tered broadcast ia millions oa mil lions of copies in pamphlets. letters and newspapers, do they not. as a rule, eninate from one source, aud is not that source Gistinclively a selfish one? Born and nourished by and through the combined efforts drrespecrive of parties) of rings, combines and trusts, who see or think they see, the entering wedge which will even tually sander further looting of the Government treasu- "? If not, then why this aggrega- tion of combined wealth in these corporate bodies, dictating to their employees such ultimatams as give us your money and support, or our factories, coal mines, railroads and hundreds of such other rich eorpo rations will not give you employ ment.a So they think free man. hood and patriotism dead, or asleep to their past forcement Of bond issue by the said ring-masters? How humiliated our Secretary of the Treasury must have felt when brought down to his knees in a pleading, supplicating attitude, ask ing for a six months guarantee as protection against their footing the same gold for which they forced said bond issue.
 Will the people still be hood winked by the same power. and up hold their hands, or Will they still lick the hand that smites? What strange love are these Democrats asked to gush and slobber over McKinley-he is the god who will save, Is he2
 Democrats, men who were thought to be the foremos+ and staunehest advocates of the masses now join hands and pocket books with said classes, determined to crush, if pos sible, what little spark of patriotism there is in the people, forsooth, be- cause a man was nominated for President who came from the West, and had no strings in said Eastern hands to jerk him down, or bind him to their powerful aback-pull" in running the Government.

Has he not been waiting for months in or der, if possible, to sum up which side of the fence the bugs or beetles are the most numerous. on which to feed. for feed is what he and his henchmen must have in order to re- place fortunes spent in securing his nomination. Friends, you have cause to feel alarmed. for if by chance Mckinley is elected, the fat" already fried and that still in the kettle will have to be replaced, and that, too, with interest, and we, the people, will be the ones whose necks will be wrung in order to furnish the fluid called
