Notwithstanding the" fact that
you are out of work, out ot money,
out of food, perhaps out at the el
bows besides, the Republicans still
ask 3'ou to vote their ticket to
deposit'ycur ballots for Hayes and
Settle. Just ask them how it
comes that this is so. Just ask
them how !it happens that after
they have been in power sixteen
years --that after 1 they have had
everthiiig in their own hands tor
such a long and weary time, the
condition of the poor laboring man
1s now worse than ever before in
the historv " of "this ! cbuntrv.' Just
ask them whv it is that there is
neither money nor work,' nor (in
thfeVitios, in thousands of cases,5)
food nor clothing. Just ask thom
why it is that thd' poor are every
day becoming poorer ' and the rich
richer. Why it is that the country
is billed all over with sheriff's sales?
AVliy it is that the poor man's hdrsc
and wa son and f n ni th re are "seized
and sold for rent? Why itJ ist hat
