TEN REASONS
For Voting The Democratic Tick
ct This Election

OF Inl5 GleCIlOD-
1st. My first reason for voting
the Democratic ticket this year is
that the nominees are all capable,
honest men; in fact superior and
without blemish they are men who
are for the people and all the people,
and not for the classes against the
masses Bryan and Stevenson are
with spot or blemlsh and tue trusts
are all against them. because as Bry-
an said, he is against them and will
regulate them and squeeze the water
out of their stock when he gets in
office.
2nd The Democratic nominees
are uot only true, good men, but far
in advance of Mckinley and Roose
welt. Mckinley tramped the State
of Ohio over making free silver
speeches 16 to /, and voted for it in
Congress until the trusts had the gold
standard written in the platform
on which he was nominated, then
from that time to the present Nc
Kinley has obeyed the trusts just
like dog obeys his master. The
trLsts sad, ''you run here and es-
pouse the gold standard and we will
shell out to Hanna in the campaign
fund and elect you President"
Mack has been against the people
and the money of Jefferson ever
since.
Mckinley said there should be no
tariff on sugar from Porto Rico, but
the sugar trust walked up just at
this time and said, "see here, Billy
Mckinley, have you forgotten that
we made you PRESIDENT" So Billy
scratched his head and said, 81 am
your Obedient servant, give your
command" So the sugar trust said,
1--WE are in the sugar business to
make mony and if you Billy allow
sugar to come in free you will step
on our toes;" so Billy then worked
for the trust tariff on sugar, and
when the Republican Congress pass,
ed the tariff act on sugar Billy signed
it and it became law and helped to
pick the pockets of all the people in
the United States. which enriched
the sugar trust. Thus we see how
the President is for the classes
against the masses, and so proves
beyond question his unworthiness
and hypocricy to the American poo
pie.
4th. The Democrats wanted to
pass a resolution in Congress to
give the Filipinos their independence,
but the Republicans refused to treat
them to a conference of knowledge,
as TO what we wanted to do with
them and snubbed their leaders in
the grossest manner after they helped
us drive Spain from the islands. Now
remember. they fought Spain IOC
years for their independence and the
Republicans would not give them one
word of consolation and when one
night a Filipino scout came near oul
army he was shot like dog by IN,
American army, then our army was
fred on and the war has Continued
) ever since. We have lost 5000 mel
and many millions in money by thi
tyranical Republican war. 1t wa

agreed in the Protocol with Spain
that the Philippines were not to be
msde citizens Of the United States.
So then if we hold the islands. we
must hold them like Spain held them,
as subjects and servants. The duff
ference between our ruling these is
lands and the spanish rule, is that
we are killing out tie people and
devastating the islands mere than
ten times as fast as Spain. 1t does
not seem right and sincere in the
Republicans to sing the song of love
and freedom TO the negro in the
South, when at the same time they
are trying to make 100000 slaves
in the far Pacific. not saying any
thing about the negro being lynched
in New York city and lynched in
every northern state, by the Repub-
licans who feign love and protection
for them.
9th. The Democrats oppose gov
ernment by injunction; this is strict
ly in favor of free people against
the classes.
9th. They are opposed to sending
federal soldiers into a State to crush
the working men, when the Governor
of the State says that an army is not
needed to keep the peace. This is
strickly in favor of the people and
an honest government. And it Is a
great privilege that the working men
can now voc for honest men who
will represent them in Office. The
Knights of Labor and several other
great labor organizations sanction
the Democratic ticket this time and
ask all laboreIs to vote for Bryan
this time.
9TH. There is no issue TO cause
the colored man to oppose Bryan
and the Democratic election. If the
Democrats get into Office the Phillip.
pine war will stop and this will cut
down the tax on our selves and the
next generation. The trusts will be
regulated and life more worth having
Sth. The Democrats are in favor
OF an income tax. That is for those
who get the greater incomes to pay
a greater pea cent of the tax than the
poor man. Why should not those
who are able pay the tax and let {
poor man pay lessP This is. point
of itself which should cause black
and white to unite and vote the same
ticket.
9th. The Republicans favor a
large standing army, so when the
laborer asks for more pay the corpo-
rations can answer him with an
army, in the old fashioned way of
protecting the poor man of toll. Then
the poor man is taxed to keep up
this large army. We ask all men to
vote for small army, less taxes and
less protection from guns,
10th. Great trusts are ali again
making large contributions to elect
the Republican ticket this fall as
they did four years ago, and after
the election the corporations will
again cut the price of labor to make
their money back. Now if all the
poor will stick togetherIand respect
their interests and combine with the
Knights of Labor and then we will
elect honest men and save our count
ry from bloody war, trusts, high tax
es, government by injunction, large
standing armies and federal troops
to protect US with guns. Fellow
citizens, white. and black, we are all bro
theirs and our interests are the same
so let US pull on the same end of the
string in this righteous cause and
glorious victory will be ours.
Yours for honest men and govern.
