We are opposed to McKinley's idea Of
expansion, opposed to expanding of terri
tory beyond our shores. opposed to expand
ing IN the conquest Of people whose rights
are as sacred as our own. We are In favor
OF an expansion Of governmental issue of
money, large enough to do the business OF
our country on a cash system, without the
Intervention Of banks. We are opposed to
Mckinley prosperity. A prosperity that
don't help the tillers of the soil is but a
fictitious prosperity. Down with the
tyrants. Just let me say the Dems can't
cram Bryan down our throats-they need
not try 1t. Hurrah for Barker and Donnelly!

I want to take of my hat and humbly
thank the boys Of the Cincinnati convention
for what they did. OF course it won't suit
! those who wanted to sell or trade us for pie
or those who may want to buy. 1t was a
timely step. and time will prove we would
have been swamped IL it had not been for
the work Of that convention.

prosper the old Missouri World and keep it

past is the wish of a pilgrim of reform In q
fusion-ridden state, that keeps a bulldog in
the United States senate in the disguise of
Populist SO he can so-operate with Mary
Ann in helping w. J. Bryan hold on to the
tail Of the Democratic kite. Hurrah for
Barker and Donnelly!
