corporations; and has backed that
by the military The Democratic
party is not the party that has at
tempted TO SovcrM by injtInctions,
the Republican party has thus
tlIcu to rule For this the Re
publican party has become tradi-
tlonai. 1T has taken sides with the
corporations, With the money
power in each and every strike.
ON the other hand. the Democratic
party is the party that advocated
the greatest good to the gratestcst
mum hcr.H ''Niith malice towards
uor"; with charity for all -
ilcSe are principles, dear to every
AMERICAN heart:
NOr Il third time Since the Civil
War the american people has
witnessed disastrous CONSEQUENCES
OF a iul! and unrestricted Republic
can CONTROL of this government.
IL has Il record unparalleled for in
capacity, diShouor, and disaster.
In administrative management it
has sacrificed colossal millions Of
money, entailcd Il deficit of nearly
seventy million Of dollars, and
loaned American credit to the
Wall Street syndicate. In the
rulnous effect of its policy it has
brought on panicS, blightcd in
duStry and trade with prolonged
depression, closed factories. re.
duced work and wages; has halted
enterprise and crippled american
production. Every interest. every
consideration of public safety and
individual interest, demand that
the government be rescued from
its ds,-irom the hands Of
those who have shown themselves
incapable Of conducting the at
fairs of government without dis.
a>ter at home and diShonor aboard.
:, MI laws which have been pass
cd by the Republican Party have
favored the few at the expense OF
the many. It has hand. capped
the many, while it has favored the
few. Who is it t!Eat has called
for. or is calling for IL large army
and navy? Is it you. fellow labor
cl! Nay: tell You nay. 1t is
the money power. the millionaire.
1t is they who desire Il large army
and navy to waste our substance
on the one hand, and on the other
hand. 70 shoot us down when our
burdens become unbearab!c and
We seek redress. Who was il that
was shot down in PENNSYLVANIA
only Il few years since! Or who
WAS it that was shot down III West
Virginia later. Hr who was it
that was dcuprtud in Colorado still
more recently? There was not Il
hair of the mi}liouair" hurt. II
was the common pcopic-the
lahorer-the bone and sinuc of
this Republic that received the
fatal blow. This calls tor revenge
al the ballot box: How will you
cast your vote, fellow citizens?
The Democratic Party has not
looted the trcnsurcrs as the Rcpub,
licAnS did. under iIarraiSon,so chat
bonds had to be issued by the in
coming administration in time of
peace. TO carry on the government {.
The Republican panty issued
specie payment in 1872: thus
throwing untold millions into the
hands OF the money power 1t, by
:, serious of acts in is - and 1874,
t.cmonctized silver; and. us specie
payment was resumed later on. it
thus r:aGc bonds payable i'll gold.
This all happened under Re
publican administrations. These
acts caused bonds TO go 10 :;
premium. which the government
lthe people had to pay. Verify,
verify, the Republican Party is Il
party for the money power. 1t IS
the party under whose admins
tration The present panic was
brought about: and under whose
guidance it still continues: and
