pies party to ntdlatic millionaires fo:
$4,000 to run a.Sewall campaign on. If
there ever was poiirica! bandit on earth
it Is w J. Bryan. III there ever was a
political traitor it is w. " Allen. With
hearts as black as hell; with elaboration
as cold as the grave, and passionless as
stone, they plunged The dagger Of the as
sassin to the heart 81 the peoples party
that had honored ,ti1em with its votes !
1t is passing strange how free trade
democrat that opposes tariff to protect
an eastern MANUFACTURER can favor special
legislation to double the value of the
property OF the foreigners in the west.
Suppose you proceed to the free coin
age of silver. Senator Stewart, and he
was quoted by Bryan and the Rev. W.
L. Green in the opera house last fall,
shows that it is not possible to obtain
and coin silver fast enough to keep up
with the increasing ratio OF the popula-
ton and that at the end of sixty years
we would not have as much per capita
circulation as we have now. And yet
these men demand the free coinage OF
silver as the only national issue.
According to Bryan the free coinage

bullion. OF course, the owners Of the
gratitude and respect for Bryan. Then
there is that miserable pop party COM
posed of the vulgar mob that the Wall
street Morgans can't control. 1t would
be pretty nice to get rid OF that outfit. 1t
is uncertain what they might do. Lastly,
there is the democratic party little down
at the heel If it could get to swallow the
pops and brace up little there would be
a chance for office If Bryan succeeds he
will accomplish all three OF these pur-
poses. The peoples efforts for self-gov-
eminent will be buried in an unfruitful
grave, and concentrated wealth will grow
and bloom and blossom upon its ashes.
In the early days of the republican
party it made all our exemption laws,
granted lands to the people, exempt from
prior debts, and made all precaution pos
s!ble against the approaching tide that no
party has been able to resist.
Between these. two old parties the peo-
pie have arisen and organized party OF
themselves. They are about to mark a
new era in society and government. For
quarter OF century they have been de-
veloping its parts until they have forged
for themselves a place in American So
ciety and government Now comes lot
of bimetallists just half born and anxious
for Office. These are clever people and
have bright prospects if they will perse-
we're in getting into the world. They are
lot of young pups that have got out and
struck cold trail on which the old dogs
are hundred years ahead. These pups
wag their tails and howl like lot OF
newborn christians and they want every
one to come to their camp meeting. Well,
wag your tails and howl if you must, the
old dogs never will turn back.
You Bryan democrats that so venerate
Jefferson and love the peoples party! II
you want to be like Jefferson, why don't
you keep your mouths shut? If you are
determined to 60 back into the centuries
of the past and approach with muffled
tread the consecrated tomb of the silent
statesman and battle its cold marble with
your tears, go; but for Gods sake keep
your mouths shut, If you do SO love the
peoples party why don't you vote for it?
The peoples party is not of the dead
past 1t is OF the living present, and tends
upward and onward to better and
brighter future It is founded upon edu-
cation. intelligence, equal rights to all,
especial privileges to none. Those who
believe in it should vote for it.
