in 1896, just sixteen years ago, and at
the close of four years of Democratic
administration under my old friend
G.. Cleveland, many of you were here
to listen to our then candidate, the
pearless one from the long, shallow
Platte. Your faces were then faded,
your frocks were fraZzled, the prevail
ing style of dress included a block
insert in the tale gate of the trousers,
and your railway fare was mostly
paid for you out of funds collected
from the millionaire silver producers
of the west. While here you went
unfed and drinking you had none
Some of your families were in tatters
at home, while pangs of hunger and
evidence of distress were very pre-

don't you think it was the wisest
thing to do, and very fortunate un-

Don't trade for a strange horse, an

have given you good faithful service
should be reelected

1t is not the high cost of living so

Low wages promote economy.

more money in foolish ways and for
things not needed. They eat more,
wear more and waste more.
