The BuIldozers Campaign.

Mckinley clubs and participating Ill fake
demonstrations for gold standard is not
confined to the railroads. 1t is in every
line of industry that represents large ag-
gregations of wealth. 1t is in the mills
and mines and stores all over the country.
For the sake of effect on voters at large
every effort that cunning can devise and
money sustain is made to make it appear
that the wageworkers of the country are
not only believers in single gold standard
but are organized to maintain it. 1t is the
greatest fake on earth and can fool nobody
who thinks.
Thus writes Coxey's Sound Money"
and thus are proclain1ing all the papers
in the country which are not chained by
the gold trust and hidden to do as ordered.
A reign of terror is inaugurated through
out the country by large establishments
where great numbers of men are EN-
ployed. To disobey or seem not to obey
means discharge Immediately. The fol-
lowing instance is related by "New
Road :"
"When Bryan and party passed through
Canton, O., the Bonnat Manufacturing
Company ordered their men not to stop
work or step outside the shop or look ont
of the windows when the Bryan train ar
rived. The Bryan reception was held
within 40 yards of the Bonnat shops and
in full view of the same. When the train
arrived from 5000 to 10000 people gath
cred at the station, the band played, the
crowd cheered and although the crowd
: was within few feet of the shops the
wage slaves did not dare to lift their eyes
from their work for fear of discharge.
Two of the most expert pattern makers in
| Ohio, one a Mckinley man and the other
Bryan man, laid down their tools and
stepped outside to see Bryan who was
speaking from hat-car. One was dis
charged within all hour with unfinished
work on the table, and the other with
unfinished job was discharged the next
afternoon"
The campaign of bulldozing is general
throughout the country. 1t is reported in
full force by the railroads, which enclose
circulars in the pay envelope to their men
ad0tS1ne them the way they should vote.
We have not heard of the Pennsylvania
railroad resorting to this slave-driving
system, and it is about the only great sys-
tenn that has kept its head above water,
pretty much all the others being in the
hands of receivers and hence under the
hand of the great gold oligarchy of
Europe. Every factory, every mine,
every great mercantile establishment feels
the rod of the gold trust, enforced by the
banks through which they do business.
These establishments in turn threaten
their employees with discharge if they do
not obey orders and hurrah for Mckinley.
The banks i'll turn which are enforcing
these Weyler terms OH the great business
establishments, are under the Wall street
banks, and they are under the great
European money oligarchy whose seat of
empire or throne is located in London and
controlled by the Rothschild house. The
republican party is the tool of this great
plutocratic empire in the United States,
by which it reaches and controls the
government.
The 9ooo,o 900 mortgages which the CEN
sus reports reveal were laid OH the farms
during the present reign of this gold dy
nasty and are now being worked as the
engine of that tyrannical power by which
the farmer is reached, and made to feel the
CALLING chains of this plutocratic tyranny.
The Pittsburg Dispatch of Sept IS, 1896,
says:
"Over fifty pieces of property were sold
in the Court House yesterday at Sheriff
sale. 1t is the second sale for the week
and in all Il2 properties have been sold.
Almost all are foreclosures of mortgages.
''The sales of properties OH foreclosured
mortgages have been larger than in the
same period for years. Last month ninety
properties were sold on mortgages, this
month I12, and more to be sold at the
next regular sale.
Nearly all the properties sold are small,
most of them being dwelling houses rang
ing in value from 81 900 to 5000. The
mortgages are for much less, and the i'll
vestments are good ones as long as the
interest is paid.
''In most of the sales yesterday there
were but few bidders to run up the price.
When this was the case, the holder of the
writ OH which the property was sold
bought in the property, bidding just
enough to cover the cost.
This made him the owner of the prop
erty. In case he held bond with his
mortgage, he had the property, and the
former owner still owed him the original
debit
The above is specimen of the manner
farmers and others under the slavery of
mortgaged homes are being bulldozed |
and frightened into voting for Mckinley.
The men holding the mortgages are being
frightened by the great conspirators who
declare to them their mortgages will be
paid with dollars that are deprecated so
per cent if silver is remonetized. And the
most of them are so lily informed that
they believe the conspirators.
So this bulldozing bank conspiracy
against the people touches the great rail
road corporation and every branch of in
dustry down to the humblest wage Garner
1t is frightful when calmly considered
If a tyranny can WELD power like this
when it is but half seated on the throne
of Imperial power, what may the people
expect if it be allowed to grin absolute |
