creasIng the tariff taxes. Both proposi-
tlons are fallaclOus. The attention OF the
Governor and Legislature was called to
this fact a year ago, but they paid no
more attention to Il than the people OK
Mars. Is Il any wonder we lost votes last
fall?
We would say to those late committees
most excellent gentlemen-that II the ls-
sue Is made on free silver we will lose $50
votes In ElmendOrO township. There are
1000 men in the State who think likewise.
Let us lay the question before you so
you cannot mistake US: A working farmer
goes ON a piece Of bare land and by hard
work produces ZOO bushels OF corn; he
is forced to give one-third OF 1t TO a
speculatOr for the privilege OF WOrking
he must give the railroad lord one-third
for hauling the two-thirds TO market; he
then uses his restricted freedom In taking
One-third Of his total rOductions-wages--
to town and exchanging II, One-haR for
tribute and taxes and one-half for goods.
He thus enjoys the unalloyed pleasure OF
consuming one-slxth OF his individual
earnings. Now the above mentioned COM
mittees declare that the issue shall be
whether the value of what the working
farmer has left shall be estimated In silver
we hold that IL the Issue is made as you
declared In 1892, that the working farmer
or other users Of land are entitled to 100
cents on the dollar OF their individual ex-
ertions, that prices and values will take
care of themselves. And mark you well,
we have 10000 landless men on our side
and 30OO0,O0O acres OF spectators land.
We care little who gets the offices; we
want justice.
