TWENTY WHY'S.
Which Republicans and Democrats VIII
DO Well to Think About.

DO Well to Think About.
Why does it take lawyers to explain
the great principles of the democratic
and republican parties, while farmers
explain the principles of the peoples
party?
Why is it that members of the peo-
ple's party can tell why they are Popu-
lists, and republicans and democrats
cannot tell why they are republicans
and democrats?
Why can Populists understand the
financial situation, but democrats and
republicans cannot understand it?
Why do Populist papers and speak
ers tell the people that they can un-
derstand the finance question, but the
republican and democrat papers and
speakers tell them that they can not?
Why do democrat and republican
leaders ask the people to take po-
sition upon a question that they cam
not understand?
Why do Populist leaders urge every
man to study politics, and the old party
laborers understanding politics?
Why do Populists try to learn the
people politics, and the two old parties
try to make them believe that they are
too ignorant to learn?
Why do Populists invite democrats
and republicans to come and join the
issue with them at their public speak
ings, but the two old parties refuse
Populists the same right at their pub
lie speakings7
Why should men vote upon issues
they do not understand?
Why is IL that the democrats never
quote Lincoln on finance?
Why is it that the republicans never
quote Lincoln on finance?
Why not drvp the legal tender clause
of gold by our law IL it is the money
of the world independent of law?
Why object to the full legal tender
clause and free and unlimited coinage
OF silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1, IL law
does not make money?
Why should a man want a gold
standard that he never owns, to travel
in foreign countries where he never
goes, and objects to silver and green
backs for fear he will get too much
while he and his family is double
worked, half clothed, rough fed, and
cannot paJ his debts?
Why should farmers want high
salaried officials, high taxes, high in
terest on the money, and low priced
products to foot the bill with?
Why should the farmer be in favor
of the government loaning money to
national banks at one per cent. pei
annum and not loan to the farmer al
any price?
Why do not religious democrats and
republicans take Gods advice on usury
I IL they cannot understand the finance
question!
Why do preachers not take such texts
as "The Love of Money is the Root OF
all Evil" "It is easier for camel to
60 through the eye Of needle, than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom
of heaven" 'He upset the tables OF
| the money changers" Restore, pray
ye, to them even this day, their lands
their vineyards, their olive yards, and
their houses, also the hundredth part
of the money and Of the corn, the wine
and the oil that ye exacted Of them. 7"
Why does preacher serve God left
handed, but serve mammon with his
right hand?
Why did Christ favor the tramp and
tramp himself, and oppose the rich and
our preachers take the reverse?

conceded that whatever is lawful is
honorable, but in the purer past many
things were lawful that were not
honorable. The old party leaders have
wrought the change.

The New York World says: "Popu-

the cheerful, bold political liar like the
above.
