EDITOR ADVOCATED arise to sec.
ond the motion of the brother who, in
his timely article few days since in the
operator, suggested the propriety of
campaign of education this winter.
|, too, believe that now is the time to
educate. The conditions that confront
us are causing the people to think and
investigate as never before. They are
anxious to know the causes which have
brought US as q people and a nation to
this deplorable condition. The old
party theories Of "high tariff and
Glow tariff" Of protection to Ameri-
can industries" and "free trade" and
the "tin pail" racket have become old
"CheStnuts." We have had a thor
ough trial of McKinleyism and Of
Clevelandlsm, and still we are rapidly
drifting on down toward the breakers
OF degtitutlon to the masses and ma
tiOnRl bankruptcy. The people realize
to some extent the perilOrs conditions
which confront us, and are loyal, hon.
est and patriotic, and ready to correct
any errors they may have made in ia
VOring and voting for men or measures
that have brought us to this condition.
They cannot be hoodwinked by the
Venezuela WRr.ery and the effort on
the part of the two old parties to boom
Cleveland as the next war President.

searching for the true status now, be.

IT is TIME.

In this age, when gold is king,
Sitting on brazen throne;
When 'tis thought the proper thing
Rating men by what they own;
When the brute Is more and more
And the spirit, less and less;
When the world is lorded DER
BY corruption and excess;
1t Is time that men Of worth
Boldly step into the van
With this message to the earth:
Down with Mammon, up with Man.
We have seen the idler feast,
While the toiler lacked for bread;
We have seen the king and priest
Rob the living and the dead;
We have seen the thief arrayed
In the purple robes Of state,
While the honest man was made
To beg succor at his gate.
It has ever been the same,
Since our human world began.
Let US stop the sickening game.
Down with MammOn, up with Man.
Earth ls far too wise and old
For a lOrdling, or slave;
For to heed a ring OF gold
On the forehead Of o knave;
Far too old for war and hate;
Old enough for brotherhood;
Wise enough to found q state
Where men seek each others good.
We have followed self too long.
Let us try 3 better plan
Keep the right, subdue the wrong;
Down with MammOn, up with Man.
Many OF the brightest, best
OF the earth were counted poor
Some possessed "nOt whore to rest; :"
Others toll and hardship bore.

Down with Mammon, up with Man.
0, my people, will you heed2
Be no more like beasts OF prey
Turn from selilshness and greed;
Let us find nobler way.
From the worn-Out lies OF old,
Let us make the whole world free.
Down with kings and priests and gold !;
Up with God, Humanity.
We are tired OF hate and crime;
Let us crush them while we can.
Let US hail the better time.
