DO the people want the present good
times to continue or do they want such as
followed the Inauguration of Grover Cleve-
land! To this quotation from the Minne-
apolts Tribune in that remarkable appeal
for subscribers. l made the following com
lnents and asked him to print the same; but
not he:
eff I were less acquainted with Republi-
can methods of conducting or winning cam
pafgns. the above would surprise. No one
knows better than the editor of the Tribune
that this statement is misleading No one
knows better than he that hard times COM
menced under Harrison nearly a year and
half prior to the inauguration of Mr.. Cleye-
land; but he did not pause to tell us why
Mr.. Harrison was SO emphatically showed
under by Mr.. Cleveland, IT, as he wishes to
convey. times have been uniformally good
under Republican rule. No. He wanted to
make point at the expense of truth and
history. Well, when Cleveland was inau-
gurated the hard times had already done
it's cruel work as evinced in the constantly
increasing failures and upon his accession
to power, there was nothing doing or pro-
jected to arrest that fearful financial sirocco
that was sweeping with accelerated mo-
mentum and destruction through the land.
So the people were ready to flop again
and this time Mckinley had a walk-a-way.
Now. Mr.. Editor, when any penomena out
of the ordinary appear. philosophy traces
from effect back to cause: but the herd
never think, nor read, but apply to their
political seers or savans for the article
ready made. and armed within this man
ner, they are ready to vote. Now, / am
not Democrat, nor am / pleading the
cause thereof. I have been a Populist since
~, and shall so remain unless political
wisdom unearths something better; but 1t
is manly to tell the truth but devlish to
lie for the sake of deception. If the Trib-
une editor wanted to make a truthful state
ment, why did he not state that the
Oriental famine was raging with unpre-
cedented fury and thus called for more of
our big crop than was ever exported since
our life as nation: and thus brought to
our people almost plethora of money which
Immediately entered upon its benign mis-
sion Of putting the wheels of industry in
motion from one end of this country to
the other; and this being supplemented by
war with Spain, which called millions more
from the treasury into channels of trade.
No, he could not afford to do this as 1t
would spoil the impression he wanted to
make that times are always good under Re-
publican rule and invariably hard under any
other administration. We are living in
perilous times when we have to resort to
falsehood and political chicanery in general
to win an election. Let Populists vote their
ticket without a single exception.
