We, the undersigned, do each of us sever
ally and for himself, hereby subscribe
to the Omaha platform as reafirmed at
Cincinnati, Sept, 6. 1898, and rules Of organic
alton there and then adopted; each of US
declaring: 1 renounce utilization or cooper
alton with either Republican or Democratic
party. 1 deplore with the Omaha and Gin
cinntai platforms attempts of the few, pos
sessing the coin of the world, to divide and
divert the attention of the great producing
class on such false issues as tariff, silver
or foreign conquests, while wholesale pub
lie robbery, enslavement of the Masses po-
litical trades, every form of legislative cor
ruption and private corporate oppression is
unnoticed by the subsidized or muzzled pub
lie press trust. 1 am opposed to this I'M
just industrial and political system which
makes millionaires of money-lords, and
gamblers and tramps of real wealth-produc-
ers. And as the combined remedy, we do,
each Of us, severally and for himself, es-
pecially advocate the three fundamental
principles of the Omaha and Cincinnati
platforms: First-Colective public owner
ship not only of the public school system

faro bank and the stock or any other
exchange?
A. In the first, you lose your money
on the turn of the card; in the second
on the turn of the market.
@. Who does the turning?
A. In one, the dealer, or bank; IN
the other, the exchange.
@. If either is fairer to the man,
who bets? State why.
A. Faro is much fairer and safer, be-
cause the exchange has a "split" on
every bettor.
@. How can that be?
A. It first splits his pile into mar
gins and remainder" or what he has
left. 1t takes the margins first, and then
the remainder
@. Then the exchange, first and last,
takes all, does it?
A. No. 1t leaves the bettor his ex-
perience.
@. What is the difference between a
put and "call' in poker, and a put
and Cali in an exchange?
A. In the poker you put up your
'ante' and they call your hand" In
the exchange you put up your margin,
and then they call for more till they get
all, and then close you out.
@. Of what benefit to society is an
exchange?
A. 1t is immense. 1t is the handmade
to religion.
@. Explain how that is?
A. Charity is the grandest of all
Christian virtues. AS exchange ex-
pands that virtue daily, by creating the
necessity for more almshOuses and
poorhouses for the pauper widows and
orphans. The exchange makes the ne
cessity for more lunatic asylums for in
sane fathers and husbands. The ex-
change can beat hundred faro banks in
enlarging charity.
between metal dollar and a paper dol
lar?
A. The metal dollar costs the society
one hundred cents, while the paper dol
lar costs society one cent.
@. Is there any other way of putting
this problem?
A. Yes. Every metal dollar that leaves
the mint goes out as debt on society
of one hundred cents, while it is credit
of one hundred cents to the individual
who receives it; while each paper dol
lar that is created by the government
goes out as a credit to society, and debt
of one hundred cents on the Individual
who receives it or puts up his labor
for it.
@. Is there any difference between the
old party and the tariff question?
A. One favors tariff for revenue,
and the other favors revenue for
tariff.
@. Is there any difference between the
Democrats and Republicans?
A. Yes One is a Democrat and the
other is Republican.

The Tariff.

@. What is the origin Of the word
tariff?
A. 1t is SO called because hundreds of
years ago sea pirates at Tariffa, Spain,
forced every passing vessel to pay for
the privilege of going into and from the
Mediterranean sea.
@. What is the meaning now?
A. A certain sum forced from the
people by land pirates.
@. Why do you say taken by force?
pie, stand and deliver.
@. Stand and deliver to whom?
A. To the manufactures.
@. In which part of the constitution
polling the poor to support the rich?
A. In no part.
@. Then where did it find the power?
A. In the Bible.
@. Give the book, chapter and verse.
A. Matthew IS, chapter II and verse
II: For whatsoever hath, to him shall
be given, and he shall have abundance.
But whosoever hath not, from him shall
be taken away even that which he
hath.
@. Is such law republican in the
sense of being democratic-a govern
ment in which the people rule?
A. No. it is aristocratic.
@. What do you mean by aristo-
cratic?
A. A government wherein the few
rule the many. Where the many work
to support the privileged few.
@. Explain how the tariff law estab-
fishes an aristocracy in a democratic
government?
A. Congress says to the poor: Be-
cause this or that man is rich and pro-
duces iron or cotton goods, or wooden
goods, you shall pay him so many pounds
or yards, or go naked and work without
tools.
@. What reason does congress give
for such a tyrannical law?
A. Congress says: THE law is diff
ferentiation of Industrial function"
Which means that industry is the func-
ton of the poor, and the difference goes
to the rich.
O. Is that the only reason congress
gives?
A. No. 1t says the tariff is intended
to foster infant industries at home.
q. What date has congress placed for
those industries to become of age?
A. When Gabriel blows his horn One
congressman did move to make the time
later, but withdrew his motion, as 1t
would do no good after Gabriel blew.
He sighed and sat down.
@. What is the meaning of a protect
i've tariff?
A. Protection of the rich from get
ting poor, and of the poor from getting
rich.
@. What is the difference between the
tenants in Ireland and the farmers in
America?
A. None. In both cases the tax
gatherer lives in the East, and the sher-
if is after both. --~t...
@. Is there any other similarity in
the condition of many of the Irish ten
ants and American farmers?
A. Yes. The tenants are too poor to
stay and the farmers are too poor to
leave.
@. Is that the only benefit the pro-
tective tariff confers upon the poor?
A. No. It improves their morals,
keeps them contented, and keeps down
unselfish desires. -~
@. How does protection produce such
happy results? 4.--..,@A-s;@
A. The poor have to work so hard to
support the rich that they have no time
for mischief. Having no money, they
cannot leave home or travel, they see
nothing, and their desires are kept dor
mant; that brings content.

The light that illumines her eyes!

And in pies her successes are few.
And I'll she fares when soup she pre-

Out-of-the-Way Places in Which to
