one man, in favor of another, is I'M
just, greedy and rapacious.
In view of the fact that the pros
perity and wealth of Mr.. MoCor-
mick and others in his line of bust
ness has been built up and sustain
ed by the farmers of America of
Illinois and West Virginia and
the world, the stand he takes is a
stab in the backs of his friends
and the creators of his wealth on
whom he is dependent. Let them
effectually and universally taboo
and boycott the Mccormick Har-
yesting Machines and the Nc
Cormioks Harvesting Machine
Company's occupation would soon
begone.
Self interest and good will and
the golden rule should prompt Mr.
Mccormick to cherish and protect
the farmer, and above all, when
they are protected allare
But Mr.. Mccormick is opposed
to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and in favor of the main
tenance of the "present gold stand
ard" That policy of recommendation
which brings the American farmer
into deadly and disastrous compe-
tition with the farmers of India,
China, Japan, and the Islands of
Southern Seas.
The reasonably protective, or the
high protection of Mckinley will
aggravate the malady as long as the
gold standard is continued. The
longer it is maintained the deadlier
will be the disease, and the death
struggle will commence.
How the farmers heart must
swell with gratitude and praise that
he is promised that he shall dwell
under the protecting wings of a
Mckinley tariff and the gold stand
ard" Sound money"-policy es-
poused by Mr.. Mccormick and the
philanthropists (?) of Wall street
and Lombard street
How kind and gentle and gener-
Gus is the Golden Octopus that
was Matched in cellars and vaults of
London. They give a tariff of 15
cents per bushel on oats, which
sell in the markets at 10 cents per
bushel; on old corn, 10 cents per
bushel which sells for % cents; on
wheat Is cents per bushel, which
sells at so cents.
They have appreciated gold to
nearly double and deprecated sill
yer and values of everything the
farmer has to sell fully so per cent.
BY this appreciation in the pur-
chasing power of gold they have
nearly doubled the principle and
interest which the farmer must pay
on the notes and mortgage bonds
he is forced to give.
Gold and debts have gone up
while silver, wages and values of
products have gone down, not by
the operation of natural economic
law, of supply and demand and
production, but by illegal and vic
ious enactments, and unscrupu]ous
and malicious manipulations of
syndicates and officials.
Farmers, they offer you "such
protection as vultures give to lambs
covering and devouring them"
Let them be vultures if they will,
but don't you be lambs. If you
vote for Mckinley and monomet-
talism, and he is elected, it is as sure
as cause and effect that you will
continue to be shorn.

The above correspondence, which
explains itself, is another instance
in which great millionaire corpor-
alton alligns itself under the ban
ncr of organized selfishness, and
swears allegiance to greedy plu-
tocracy-a combination of organ
lied wealth against the brain and
muscle of humanity.
1t is not the manufacturing in
terests of the McCormick's that has
taken alarm at the wide-spreading
growth of the present silver delu-
sion," and found expression in this
correspondence. 1t is the menace
in that "delusion" to the stability
and continuance of gold monomet-
talism in America, he fears. The
plutocracy, its prophets and priests,
and its votaries see the writing on
the wall; they hear the voice of
condemnation. They realize that
their ascendency is wavering andthe
golden Kingdom is at it's end.
Mr.. Mccormick wishes to enjoy
the usufruct of gold bearing in
vestments, made from the surplus
profits by his company off the
farmers of America in excess of the
fair margins received from foreign
customers.
SO brother Mccormick "hns been
and still is Democrat" Was he
one when the Democratic party
was opposing the high protective
program of Mr.. Mckinley and the
ultra tariff wing of tho Republican
party? Was he then in favor of n
tariff for revenue, or for reason
ablo protection? Was he Demo-
crat in full communion with his
party in 1883 and 1892, when it
demanded revenue tariff with in
cidental protection (Which might be
considered "reasonable') and the
restoration of, and free coinage of
silver? Did he advocate theSnom-
ination and election of Mr.. Cleve-
land on the platform of his party ?
But Mr.. Mccormick is now Gun
olterably" opposed to the free coin
age of silver by the United States,
unless the leading countries of the
world can agree to fixed relation
between gold and silver" From
the days of Adam, the nations
"the leading countries of the
world" never have agreed "to a

Facts for reflection.

Every country which has had
plenty of money has enjoyed pros
perity.
Free coinage will increase the
opportunities of industry and labor.
This country will never go to de-
struction because we have too
much money.
Look at our American silver dol
lar and see the motto-"In God
We Trust"
A dollar will remain dollar as
long as this Government exists.
If other countries don't want sill
yer, let them go without it.
We need silver and are going to
have it.
To obey tho will of the people is
the essence of Democracy.
The anxiety of Mckinley and his
party bosses to avoid the money is
sue and conduct the campaign on
the tariff question is conclusive
evidence that they regard the cleo
ton as already lost to them on the
coinage question. And so it is.
On one point of Mr.. Bourke
Cockran's speech lie failed in the
matter of elaboration or explana-
ton. He started out on this par
ticular section by an attack on the
farmers, declaring the silver agita-
ton was but Conspiracy on the
part of the farmers" Then he was
pulled down. The wiser heads
back of him knew Cochran was
running against snag. A "con-
spiracy of the farmers" The
farmers, covering one-half of our
industrial population and scattered
over 45 States and numbering mil
lions! How could they conspire?
Is it not moro probable conspir-
acy exists among the golditos OF
Wall street? Bourke is brilliant,
but he lacks common sense. In
II hours you can summon to
Washington, to influence legisla-
ton, the gold power of the country.
How can you get the millions of
farmers there? Where is the con-
spiracy likely to exist? We have
no doubt there is one. When you
see Democratic plutocrats uniting
with Republican millionaires, there
is no doubt of conspiracy. And
Bourke Cochran is its retained
attorney.

This country tolerated depreci-
ated currency for IS years, from
1861 to 1879. 1t was inaugurated
by the Republican party, and dur
ing that time the greatest financial
crimes of the age were perpetroted
by the Republican party, at the
dictates of the money power of this
country and Europe. They issued
cheap bonds, payable in lawful
money, greenbacks. They chang
ed that contract and made them
payable in coin, thus adding one
third to tho value of the bonds
They then demonetized silver
which once moro increased the val
NC of the bonds to twice what they
wore worth when the government
sold them. The people were rob
bed to enhance the value of money.
The Republican Campaign Book
of 1892, page 157, contains the fol
lowing:
"Nine-tenths of the people are
bimetalists. They want both mo-
ney metals used, because they be-
lieve both is needed to sustain the
worlds commerce. Tho Republi-
can party intelligently and honest
ly answers their wishes. President
Harrison is bimetallist, as his of
fetal papers and his speeches plain
ly show. The Republican platform
declares for bimettallism, and in
| IuuI ISSlJSCJ 1ulCIluliJ 1SlhSoSIlc
the course of the party"
How is it now with the Repub-
lican party leaders? Now they are
against silver and for an absolute
single gold standard, unless Eng
land says differently.
Corporations, trusts and syndi-
Gates may conspire and adopt
schemes to despoil industry and
degrade labor, and in the eyes of
the law be all right. But if the
people meet and organize for their
| projection, for their families and
fireside, demanding the justice and
the sacred rights guaranteed by the
constitution, they are denounced
by the plutocracy as anarchists,
and their leaders insulted with the
most offensive cpithets.
The Republicans see that they
have made mistake by adopting n
platform so radical in favor of the
single gold standard Nearly one
half of the Republicans believe in
both gold silver and they are going
to vote that way in November.
There will be no party lines this
year. You can't fool the people
They want silver and and they are
going to have it.
Bryan's wonderful gift of olo-
quence and oratory has been at
tracing and delighting public au-
diences since he was mere boy,
scarcely in his teens. His great
magnetism has steadily increased
until to-day when he stands before
the American people as one of our
country's greatest and most dis
tinguished statesmen.
