The final notes of the great campaign of

this morning. Mr.. Davis has received re-
ports from all parts of the county and is
satisfied with the conditions that prevail
He reviewed the situation in this way
1T rests with the laboring men of our
country to elect William Jennings Bryan.
The struggle would appear to be one
against the wealthy monopoies of the
land. If they are not crushed now labor
ing men and mechanics and young men
may as well bid adieu to prosperity and
all chance of making their mark in the
world in any legitimate business enter
prise.
''I believe, with Mr.. Croker of New York
that we have reached political crisis. No
man can dispute the power of corpora
tions. Few will dispute their damaging
and far-reaching effects. We have had
recent example in the great coal strike.
Those poor men were being treated like
dogs, were being compelled to live like
dogs on their meagre salaries, earned with
their hearts blood while the great coal
barons swan in luxuries. The workmen
perished from starvation while the coal
millionaires looked on and put the screws
down harder. Our whole eastern country
suffered from that strike, and the differ
ence was patched UP only temporarily be-
cause the great trust leader Mark Hanna,
feared a continuance of it would result in
the overthrow of Mckinley and his trust.
ridden administration.
These great corporations, with their
millions, are simply crushing the people
and the fight which will be settled next
Tuesday Is to STAMP out this great
trust power, which is waging so cruel and
relentless war, backed up by the Re
publican Administration, against the
rights of those who toll for livelihood.
The side of the people is being champion
ed by William Jennings Bryan and the
people should support him-fight under
his banner and win such a decisive victory
that Hanna and his lieutenants will be
swept out of politics. They are corrupt
i11g every branch Of national politics with
only one end IN view and this to fill their
ever open and deep pockets with the dol
lars they can grind from the poorer
classes who slave for living. The Re-
publican party-and by that 1 mean the
millionaire trust backers-is the sole bene-
ficiarH of our business interests. The
wealth of the country. by reason of spe-
cial legislation privileges, is pouring into
the pockets of few. It is being distribut-
ed, and If the people knew who the recipi-
ents were, and what lofty offices they
prostitued, 1 fear something bordering on
a rebellion would follow.
1.-The Republicans expect to win out
with Mckinley. The way of that party is
corrupt, and if its lieutenants do not cor
rupt the ballot it will not be because they
have not free access to a corruption fund
Of gigantic proportions.
ssWhy is every trust arrayed against
Bryan? Why is it those trusts help create
a fund to corrupt the ballot?
ssThe answer is an easy one. The trust
magnates want to continue in the engage
ment of trust legislation, and they know
that the only way to do it is to defeat the
party of the people-the Democratic party
and re-elect William Mckinley, who is,
has been, and will continue to be, a tool
in their hands.
THE reelection of Mckinley win be a
hard blow to a continuance of Democratic
or popular government 1t will be a blow
the country will not long survive. 1t is
my advice, therefore; to those who favor
perpetuation of the public institution
principal to vote for and support the Dem
ocratic candidate, Mr. Bryan.
'sThis matter means much to the work
ingman and it will be a pity if the wage
Garner is not awakened to the fact. Sure
~ it must be apparent to every reading,
observing man that as aseachday rolls by the
avenues for bettering ones condition are
being closed. The trusts are doing it. An.
other Mckinley combination. by wicked
legislation. is upholding the oppression.
