$1,000 home must pay upon full valuation

test against the destruction of one-half
of the peoples money? Read the
speeches and votes of Blaine, Sherman,
Carlyle, Mckinley and other one-time
great leaders and before they sold out
body and soul to Wall street Read the
dissenting opinion of the minority of the
supreme court itself Read for a prece-
dent the great, scathing criticism of that
| court by that eminent Republican lead
err, Charles Sumner, upon the Dred Scott
decision. Mckinley, Hobart and Hanna
stand for all that is corrupt and anti
American. Bryan, Sewall, Jones and
for the perpetuation Of the teachings
and principles of that heroic and patri-
otic ancestry that wrenched from the
hands of royalty this grand country, and
like true patriots and worthy descend
ants Of that ancestry let US maintain,
perpetuate and defend those principles
Let us wake UP to the danger that con-
fronts this nation and threatens our
liberties. Let us check while we can,
peaceably by marching up to the polls
on the Sd of November and elect that
grand young patriot and defender Of the
peoples rights, William Jennings Bryan.
