for his W selfish purposes, he has
been day by day and year by year sowing
the seeds OF dissenslOn n strife and hatred
throughout our land; he would array labor
against capital and capital against labor;
poverty against wealth and wealth against
poverty. with bitter and vindictive feeling;
he would destroy among the great mass OF
our people that kindly and friendly spirit,
that consideration for the interests and the
rights OF others, that brotherhood ofcitizen-
ship which are essential TO the peaceful
conduct Of free popular government; he
OF order, that confidence in our free institu-
tons which are the basis at once of
freedom and tru justice.
The malignant falsehoods of these jour
mails, read by the immigrant in his new
home where none can answer them, are
making him hate the people who have well
coined him to liberty and prosperity, to
abundant employment, to ample wages, to
education for his children, to independence
for his manhood such az he has never known
before.
II is not the calm and lawful redress
of wrongs which he seeks, it is the turmoil
of ndamed passions and the terrorism of

HEARsT's ATTACK ON M'KINLEY.
Does any one question the justice Of these
statements? Then let him turn to the
pages Of the newspapers through the owner
ship Of which Mr.. Hearst is pressing his
political fortunes.
What public servant honored by the
peoples trust has be not assailed with vile
and vulgar epithets; What branch OF our free
Government has he not taught his readers
to believe a corrupt agency Of oppression?
Listen to this from the Journal:
1t IL the sad duty Of the journal TO an
nounce to the people OF the United States
that their President, William Mckinley,
has deliberately tricked Congress and the
Mckinley and the Wall Street Cabinet
are ready to surrender every particle Of
national honor and dignity. .
Congress and the people Of the United
States have been fooled, tricked and de-
ceived from the beginning TO the end
And TO this:
-The BOARD OF Elections has already be-
gun its disgraceful and discreditable work.
II has allowed the peoples petitions in
trusted to its care TO be marked and mutt
lated and destroyed. It has thrown out
petitions by the score, and its action has
been sustained by the courts even as the
courts last year decided that you, as citi-
zens, had no right to have your votes hon
NEIiy NOdIANuf ia w "SiNS ~ my (
turns. no matter how false, OF corrupt
election officials"
And TO this:
THE effort is being made now by the
criminal trusts to crush out the power Of
the people in the American Government.
These trusts control your parties, control
your primaries. control your public Offices,
and deny you the right to any government
that will express the popular will. You
are deserted and betrayed by the public
officers that should sustain you, and by
the so-called free press that should sup
port you
