Another Democratic paper says
Give the farmer 81 90 bushel for his
wheat, 80 cents for corn, $500 for hogs,
and he will look after the rest.
We should really have thought they
would be ashamed to get Of that same
old gag which they used for free trade
in 1892. Verify, stroke Of lightning
would be shattered into inflnitesmal
fragments, If it should strike the cheek
of some Democratic editors.
Another says gravely:
The big issue to be determined by this
campaign is whether the trusts or the
people shall control the government.
Just think of that from the tools Of a
silver trust-s combination Of multi.
millionaires, from the disciples Of Payne
and Brice, and McIlean-from those who
have put up Sewall, the banker, for the
second place in the gift Of the people
Here's another bluff:
There is no longer any reasonable
doubt that Ohio will cast its electoral
vote for Bryan.
That's the way they. talked about Ver.
mont before election. The Democratic
committeeman from that State claim ed
it exultingly.
Everybody knows that our present
silver dollar, made interchangeable by
government policy with gold, is as good
as gold. Yet, they make such wild as.
sertions as we quote below, and do it
too, in the face of the fact that they
are seeking to degrade silver:
Make the silver that the poor man re-
ceives for wages as good as the gold that
the banks hoard to buy bonds with,
Let the poor mans wages buy bonds
and pay all sorts of debts and then there
will be no longer any object for the
money kings to hoard the gold. The
money Of the people is now and always
has been silver and paper. Remonetize
the peoples dollar-it will be just as
good then as the gold bugs dollar.
The purpose of the Republican party
is not to make, but to keep, the silver
dollar as good as gold. It has already
made it as good.
Having destroyed the farmers home
market by parslyzing the industries of
the country and impoverishing the
workingman who used to be his best
customer, the Democratic editor has the
ineffable cheek to turn to this same
farmer, victimized by free wool, impov.
erished by the stopping of the wheels
of industry and the abrogation of com.
mercial reciprocity-the Democratic ed
itor has the assurance to say,
The farmer can tell you why the
chances for employment are fewer today
than they we're years ago. Ask him.
Columns and scores of columns of Just
such bluff and bluster fill our Democratic
exchanges. Not pretence to argument
in any of it. Can it be possible they ex.
pect to carry the election by such slush :
Here's one that puts the climax to
to pages of such absurdity by shouting,
Mckinley's scared Hanna's scared
Wall streets scared Lombard streets
scared John Bulls scared
If the great disideratum of statesman.
ship is to scare people, then Democracy
has been a triumph. It's free trade
tendencies scared the country into q
panic, and thus scared hundreds Of
of thousands of honest workingmen out
OF employment Their threats of free
silver and repudiation have already
frightened capital into hiding, and if
they should succeed at the polls, the
general apprehension of cheap silver
would set every creditor upon his debtor,
and the people would be scared into q
crash of bankruptcy and ruin. We only
refer to these things to show by what
damnable methods these Mexicanos are
trying to capture our country.
