lars and millions Of poor laborers can
have no expectation of home this side
Of heaven. and possibly may lose that
for cursing in the name Of God condi-
tions their votes might change. Take
the power from private control Of money
and divide its billions of profits among
all the people through government own
ership of the production and distribu-
ton of the exchange for all labor and its
productions. My influence and vote arc
not given for the support of simply a
party of men. but for q change Of
conditions that would make money serve
the people instead Of compelling the
people to serve money Somehow the
people fail to recognize the fact, that
private money on the throne, like the
soulless king. has within it's grasp the
wealth. the liberties and the lives of all
the people.
The true picture of gold supremacy Is
appalling. To gold we. the government,
owe billions of dollars in bonds, prin-
cipal and premium, besides the billions
we have paid, and the end Is not yet.
From measuring all wealth by the gold
standard, combined money may and
does abridge the rights of all citizens, as
is evidenced by the oppressive power
of money in our own state of Minnesota,
refusing Middle-of-the-Road Populists
the constitutional power to vote for
the electors of their choice for president
and vice-president of the United States,
because they were unable to put up
$3.50 to get their electors on the ticket.
The greatest crime of the ages was
putting the exception clause on the peo-
ple's treasury note, or money; a legal
and lawful medium OF exchange, made
receivable of all public dues. And to
meet this particular offense previously
committed, ex post facto laws that are
prohibited by the United States consti-
tuition have been forced upon the peo-
pie: Such as bonds for gold, national
banks. resumption of specia payments,
demonstration Of silver, repeal of the
Sherman act and the Infamous finance
bill passed by the last congress giving
the right to few men to own all banks
of issue, control the per capita circula-
tion, own all the bonds, retire all green
backs and measure all values by Is $40
grains of private gold.
The above written financial code in
the interests of money adventurers, has
not only corrupted the ballot, but has
prOstituted the manhood, honor and vir-
tue once found in halls of state and on
judges benches, to the base and soulless
demands of money. legalized every
money combine and trust, against
which there is no remedy but the repeal
of the above written ex post facto laws,
which are nahum in Sc. Place in the
hands of the people the right to buy
gold as other commodities and pay gov
ernment debts with government money,
for gold and all productions of all ma
tions on the face of the earth.
Private ownership and control Of
money will vote majority of $4,000, 900
men with only dinner pail in their
hands, and 25,0O0,0O0 wives and children
reaching into these dinner pals for
bread, or mines and factories and mills
will be closed and these millions of my
fellow laborers with their families will
be turned into the streets to beg or to
starve. How quickly the full dinner
pail and full belly, by the power of COM
bined money, can be changed to empty
dinner pals, empty stomachs and empty
hands.
With myself and family these wealth
producers are reduced to the lowest type
of human slavery, by ownership and
control through the power of moneyed
corporations and trusts we have no
rights that our masters, or the courts
which they own, are bound to respect
One case of thousands, robbed of home
and liberty, is my own. Beside the rip
ping waters of that beautiful lake, in
Dickinson county, Iowa, are possessions
that are mine, by laws of equity au.
justice, and every legal proposition laid
down in our Jurisprudence. In the gov
ernment's own records of nearly 1000
pages, for word or sentence of evl-
dence or law against my legal rights Of
possession to that home, l will give my
right arm. I copy from one section:
''The claim Of S. M. Fairchild, which
was initiated in 1865, was prima facia
valid one in it's inception, subject Only
to the invalid selection of the state, and
it being shown by the record that he
was still persisting in the assertion OF
title, or right to acquire title to the land
covered thereby, at the date of the pas
sage of the act of March 3, 1871, supra
his claim was expressly protected by the
prov1sO Of said act, under which alone
the state or the railroad company can
assert any legal right to the land and
that neither the state nor the railroad
company took anything Hereunder.
