Where is the paper now, in the
whole country, free from this de
bauching “Money Power” influence 1
Is it mere party buncombe or is it
horse sense to know without question
that Lincoln could not affiliate with
a party whose movements have been
controlled for a score and a half*
years by the great combinations of
wealth and corporate power whose in
terests it has constantly fostered?
These words of Lincoln do not
sound a great deal like a Republican
utterance for the campaign of 1904.
They were uttered forty years ear
lier:
“This country, wi:h its institu
tions, belongs to the people who in
habit it.
“I see in the near future a crisis
approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety
of my country. As a result of war,
corporations have been enthroned and
an era of corruption in high places
will follow, and the money power of
the country will endeavor to prolong
its reign by working upon the preju
dices of the people until al 1 the
wealth is aggregated in a few hands
and the Republic is destroyed. 1 feel
at this moment more anxiety for the
safety of our country than ever be
fore, even in the midst of war. God
grant that my forebodings may be
groundless. ’ ’
• Is not this crisis now upon us?
The Remedy.
Let the fixed purpose be to stand
by the Constitution and the Declara
tion of Independence, to re-estab
lish liberty and justice, and, as the
chief means for these ends, demand
that all forms of money placed be
fore the people shall be legal tender,
full debt-paying money—silver, gold,
and paper, all made and issued direct
by the general government, and that
the silver dollar, instead of being de
stroyed, shall be continued at the
established ratio.
To this end no time should be lost,
but action taken at once everywhere
in forming liberty leagues, Jefferson
Democratic clubs, Lincoln Republican
clubs, labor unions, etc., all advocat
ing one course, viz., for educating the
people and conducting political cam
paigns. For this purpose each mem
ber should contribute a certain sum
per month, say 25 cents or more, and
hold sacred for those purposes. Nev
er allow monopolies to supply any
funds whatever.
Advise all organizations never to
strike again, but to keep at work con
tinually at some wage; stand solidly
together, and by the next presiden
tial election “the people” can sweep
the country, have a peaceful revolu
tion “by the ballot” and very soon
regain their lost rights.
It was said by Goldsmith: “The
laws punish vice; the Chinese laws
do mora—they reward virtue.”
PATIENCE.
(From the Furniture World.)
Supposin’ fish don’t bite at first,
What are you goin’ to do?
Throw down your pole, chuck out
your bait,
An’ say your fishin’s through?
You bet you ain’t; you’re goin’ to
fish,
An’ fish, an’ fish, an’ wait
Until you’ve ketched a basketful
Or used up all your bait.
Suppose success don’t come at first,
What are you goin’ to do?
Throw up the sponge and kick your
self
An’ growl an’ fret, an’ stew?
You bet you ain’t; you’re goin’ to
fish,
An’ bait, an’ bait again,
Until success will bite your hook,
For grit is sure to win.
