Watch us grow.
The republican and democratic parties
| have had undisputed control of the gov
eminent for over half century. Under
their guidance 400 men now own more
than half the wealth of the nation. And
| yet there are men whose minds are me-
[chanical and not mathematical, who
really expect deliverance at the hands
of one or the other of the ancient
parties.
The democrats believe in the referen-
dunn" but will some good democrat tell
us why three out of four of their state
senators absented themselves when the
referendum bill was on final passage in
this state in '97! And will you please
| tell us of a single democratic state where
the people have the right of referendum?
Did the democrats demand an appoint
i've" railway commission bill in order to
give the clear people voice in railway
legislation, or was it done "to complete
a political deal between the governor
and clique OF democratic politicians"
as charged by j. f.. Bell, who refused a
| congressional nomination by the demo-
Gratis on account of the inconsistent posi-
ton of the democratic platform? Will
the poor pops take the bait? Do they
want to be swallowed again?
Ten years ago, Morgan, of Arkansas,
wrote: THAR must bee nu defnishun
tn dimockrazy-it means 'tu foller.' y"
Ten years later the democrats OF Wash
ington attempt to wear the skins of
the dead lions of populism, but the pro-
truding ears proclaim as of old, it's his
| toric mission.
Ten years ago the populists wrote in
their preambles to their national plat
form, the following scathing indictment
of the two old parties: "They propose to
| drown the outcries of plundered people
with the uproar of sham battle over
the tariff. so that capitalists, corpora
tons, national banks, rings, trusts,
watered stock, the decentralization of
silver and the oppression OF the usurers
may be lost sight Of They propose to
sacrifice our homes, lives and children
on the altar of mammon to destroy the
multitude in order to secure corruption
funds from the millionaires. Read
again the above terrible indictment of
the ancient parties. Then ask yourself
if the war that the 'divinely appointed"
capitalists are waging against the coal
miners of republican Pennsylvania, and
the murder OF innocent children in the
slave factories of the democratic sunny
southland, does not justify the over
throw of both the ancient parties, and
the placing in power OF a party that will
stand for the overthrow of the "diyinely
appointed" masters, and strike the
shackles from the limbs of industry.
Will the democrats whose sympathies
for the down trodden in other lands are
''fearfully and wonderfully" expressed
in their late platforms, shed one little
drop of grief for the hundreds of little
children who annually sacrifice their
lives in the factories OF democratic
states; or will their sympathies extend
to the DISTINGUISHED, disinherited of the
fair southland? No. they will proceed
to monkey with the tariff, and bust the
trust
