To set before you all.
Then why add burdens 10 our lite2
Have we not enough?
Old parties, why agitste the strifei
Why make the laborer's road so rough?
We ask you to lay down party blindness
Be above prejudice and spite, .
Our claim is one of kindness,
Our teaching that Of right.
Does no, our wooe nation groan,
Our people by wrongs writhe with paini
Shall the dread incense oftheir moan,
Great GOD, arise to thee in vainl
Oh. we trust In deep contrition.
Dear brethren, you II give heed
And hear our just petition,
For In honesty we plead.
weask you very kindly
Better laws to make,
Oh, brethren, do not blindly
Cause our hearts to break.
But tenderly asd truly
Break up old party chains
And render justice duly
10 our common people once again.
We charge you by the ballots power
And in liberty's name
To speed the blessed hour
And wipe away this shame.
We plead for recognition,
For poor as well as rich.
For free silver for our people
Ye gold hugs hold unclaimed,
We ask you by all our hopes and wishes
And fears beyond the grave
RenOunce ill-gotten riches
And honest toiler's save.
Dear toilers, let us note it
Stand together and be strong
Against this gold bug rule and vote It
A tyranny and wrong,
Stand firm, whatever threaten,
For God is on our side.
Our glorious stars shall brighten
Misrule shall not divide.
Divlde-no just see whether
BY casting our votes with might
Our Peoples party will stand together
In peace and love and right.
