cent republican attempts to credit the
late wheat boom to republican admin
istration in the nation, we call the at
tention of the farmers of Minnesota to
the recent shrinkage of over fifty cents
per bushel in the price of their staple
product. From this fraudulent and
fake "prosperity' of an approaching
money standard and so-called repub-
lican "business'' administration,
based upon famines in foreign lands
and gambling in wheat pits and on
stock exchanges, we appeal to stable
just and enduring prosperity resting
upon fundamental economic principles
and upon the great and tried causes of
the worlds political, moral and mater
ial progress.

Contrast the two planks from

of 1894 and 1898. The old style
republicans will not vote with
the gold-plated trust combina-
tion that has stolen their party.
They realize that the. name is
about all that is left of the grand
old party that formerly was the
party of the people, and they will
not be duped to vote against their
own interests simply by the bait
