JUDGE MERRIMON'S SPEECH
pharoah and Joseph Managed the FRS
Trust in Corn.
Ashcyille Gazette.

Baskerville Gazette.
After mentioning that there are already
enrolled on the club list 571 members.
Judge Merrimon proceeded to speak of
the leading principles of Democracy,
which he described as equal rights to
all and special privileges to none. The
speaker then arraigned the corporations,
and said tlrat unless Democratic priRci-
pies can be made to prevail, we shall
have a state OF things like that of Egypt,
when Joseph and Pharaoh made corner
in corn. That is what they do in Chicago.
Joseph advised Pharaoh 10 buy up all
the corn in the land After while the
people had eaten up all their corn, and
they went TO Pharaoh. He told them
to go to Joseph, Joseph sold them corn,
until he had all the money in the coun-
try. Then the people still wanted corn.
They went to Pharaoh, and he sent them
to Joseph; and Joseph sold them corn,
and took cattle in payment, until he and
Pharoah owned all the stock in the coun-
try. Then when the people still wanted
corn, corn was sold for land, until Pha-
raoh and Joseph owned all the land in
the country. Then the people sold them
selves and became slaves. That, Judge
Merrimon said, is what will happen to US
if someone does not rise up and destroy
the trusts. If the power of the corpora
tons and trusts is ever stopped, it must
be, done through the Democratic party.
The Republicans as far as their organi-
cation is concerned are in league with
the trusts.

JUDGE WlITAKEss LETTER.

We copy on another page from the Pro-
gressive Farmer letter from the pen Of
Judge Whitaker.
1t is interesting reading. Judge Whita-
ker states his views clearly and in o man
ner, doubtless, that will seem the way Of
consistency to the rank and file of his
party, who are Populists from principle.
To those who are so-caled popuIists,
for pie only, the letter may come in way
to give mis1it, salty seasonin' to the
sweets they coyet.
