gaulinut in England, because it came

TO the misguided and deluded follow
ers of that Infamous old elephant
and the equally infamous "Stuffed
Prophetu-that ii is time for you to
quit making unnitigated damphools
OF yourselves. 1t Is time for you to
pull the wool from over your eyes; to
cast aside the bigoted prejudice that
has blinded you SO long and do little
serious thinking for yourselves. If
you will do this you caa easily see
that the old elephant has fooled and
hurbugged you from start to finish,
and that be has used you as cat's-psws
to draw his well roasted chestnuts
from the flre, and all that you have
got to show for it is your burnt
fingers.
Now let every true-born American
who loves his country, and every Cit
izen who fully appreciates the llber-
ties that our forefathers fought for
and bequsathed to us, get together
and camp on that old elephants trail
until we shall see him put SO deep un-
der ground that the sound of old
Gabriel's horn can never reach him.
And then le. ne act according to the
dictates Of reason and common sense
and elect none but honest men to
Congress; men who will leave "wine
and women" alone and attend to
business; men who will stand by
Bryan and iegislate for We, Us & Co.
the common people-and not for
meroiless bankers, syndicates, trusts,
combines and soulless corporations,
as has been done for more than one
third OF the nineteenth century.
