LAST SESSION OF CONGRESS.
We denounce the vacilating
and do-nothing policy of the last
session of the Republican Con-
gress. We declare that most of
the legislation enacted by that
body is cheap, taWdry, hypocriti-
cal, make-shift.
CURRENCY BILL.
We denounce the Cannon-Vree-
lapd-Aldrich currency bill, which
was passed by the last session of
Congress in the interest and at
the dictation of a handful of great
banks and spectators who occupy
offices on Wall street. This in
iquitious measure, which further
centraliZes in the hands of few
the issue of American money of
the American people was shame
lessly rushed through both houses
of Congress in its dying hours,
under the lash of the Car like
methods of the Speaker, an d
through the trickery Of the Re-
publican Dictator of the Senate.
No more shameless spectacle has
ever been presented to the Amer
lean people than the method by
which this hybrid and iniquitous
measure was railroaded through
Congress. This bill turns over
the Treasury of the United States
to the gamblers of the New York
Stock Exchange for a period of
six years. 1t means a gift to the
enemies of the Republic of the
power to issue or retire one half
million dollars, exciting specula-
ton, or compelling disaster, &C.
cording to whichever best suits
= their betting book.
= PANIC of 1907.
= We condemn the Republican
2 party whose policies and conduc
r produced in 1907 the most acute
e and disastrous panic in the history
of the United States. The effec-
! of its policy has precipitated pan
S ic, blighted industry and trade
) with prolonged dispersion, close
: factories, reduced work and wag
Z es, halted enterprise, and crippled
y American production. Undel
e this Republican panic suffering
n has been universal, soup house
: have been established, and strike
II have Leen of almost daily oc
# currence. The Republican part,
y has been in control of the ma
tioual government in all of it
branches for the past eleve,
IS years, and now in the midst Q
,e abundant crops, and boundles
If national resources it has brough
r. about the most destructive PAM
te in our history. We point to tn
a fact that every panic which ha
IF occurred since the formation Q

to CRUMPACKER's MEASURE.
We condemn the Republics
oe party for its efforts in the n
- tional Congress to revive the bi
VI ternesses of the civil war, ar
es 8 renew again the bloody-shirt issl
rs by taking to the campaign pu
al licity bill, Crumpacker's Sout

sS, Congress was an act of che;

nj EXTRAVAGANCE
