CY. SIMPKINS' VIEWS.

Va, May 7.
Editur Registur-Deer Sur-The koun-
try is goin too the dogs. The gud ole
Republican partey must be kept too
the front. Durin the last campagne
Bill Bryan wuz howlin round the
kountry aginst trusts, rings, & gov
ment by injuncshion. The wurkin
men did not kno wat govment by in
junc5hion wuZ then. But when the
street kar strik started & Judge jack
son issooed this same CONVENT by in
juncshion, the the Wurkinmen TUX q
tumble to themselves and found out
wat this man Bryan Wuz talkin about.
Thay also found out that he haZ bin
tellin them the truth fur too years &
thay did not klJ It. The wurkin man
also found out that govment by injunc-
shion wuz bad thing fur them. Ii
this man Bryan IL aloud to tell theze
wurkinmen the truth, it will komplete-
~ room us monopolists, and the gud
ole Republican partey. Wat us RepuD-
likans want too doc IL too keep the
wurkin men az ignorint az possible.
Emmy gud Republican knos that if theze
- oSeft hiOiiCPASyo anu llhoo eAA y
broken, it will be bad fur the partey.
Wat we want il good takers. Take
our gud President, Mckinley, for
paturn. He went around the kountry
befoor the kampagn & told the wurkin
men that the silver doller wuz a gud
thing. After he wuz nominated fur
the Presidency by our partey, he went
around the kountrey agin & told EN-
he wuz mistakin, & that the silver
doller wuZ no gud. That wuz a hard
thing too doc, but if yu look EN- strate
in the face while yu are talkin they
will bleave you. But yu must not
smile. If yu do, thay will think sum-
thing is rong. If yu notice when
Bryan is tellin the truth, he always
looks serious. Our speakers must doc
the same thing. If yu jolly theze
wurkin men yu can make them bleavc
anything. Theez wurkin men are get
tin to smart and well postid. We must
KEEP EN- doun. The Republicans must
doc all thay can against this Bryan.
Us monopolists must be kept up. The
money power will be gone if the
wurkin men are aloud tn bekome to
Intelligent. If it wuz not fur theze
trade Unions we Guild get theze wurkin
men down to soc day, and then us
rich men cud go too Europe and stay
hole year, insted Nv havin to kope
back after bein thear fur only 6
months. A man NV welth cud enjoy
hisself. In order to accomplish theze
results, we must keep the wurkin man
doun. Make him bleave that Unions
are bad thing, and that he must not
organize; and that trusts, rings and
kom DlnaShunS must not be entered
into except by us mOnOpolists, and that
we Will TAX care Nv him. 1t makes no
difference whether we doc or not, but
we must make him bleave that we will.
One thing | want TIL say tn our gud
republican friends: If this man Bryan
is not stopped frum tellin the truth
1t Will go hard with us Republicans
He IL gettin theze wurkin men too
kno to much. He must be kept doun.
The street kar strik liz bad thing.
Hear IL anuther instance: If 1t wu2
not fur the Union we Guild get theze
wurkin men to labor fur Ice an hour
AZ 1t now stands we will hev to pay
EN- zoe an hour, witch keeps us rich
men from dubling our money on our
investments. Any man knos that a
man kant git rich on a profut NV so
per cent will now klose. l wish WI
Wud gave my regards to GUY. Atkin-
son, and tell him that he must doc
sumthing, as the people hav stopped
talkln about him. Pleas do not pub
llsh this letter. | wud not Xix to let it
get out, as it wud hurt the republican
party with the wurkin men, Yu will
mere from me again az soon az | get
my ploWin done. Yoors Trooly,
