Stand it), Mr. Dtinocra': we want
a word with voti.
There is a universal cry of hard
times.
And every Kepublieau paper ia
the country is declaring that tin.
Democratic party is to blame for
it.
Vour Republican neighbors an
right straddle of vour nei-k.
They are jumping on you w ith both
feet
They are dancing ou yo i.
They are "rubbing it in."
And yet the "hard tine s'" are ju.st
as much the fault of the Republican
party as of the Democratic.
If Ben Harrison had beeu elected
instead of Cleveland our bankmaih
"panic" would have occurred just the
same.
It was all cut and drid. It did
not make any difference which wa.
elected; the game was ready, aad afu-i
the election was over the trick wuf
sprung.
Aud Ben Harrison would hav
done exactly what Cleveland ha
done. He would have played" right
into the hands of Wall Street.
He would have issued more bonds
and he does not dare to

He would have vetoed i free c -in-
tge or seigniorage bill and he dart

He would have approved a repea
f the Sherman law and he dare no"
deny it.
In 1870 we were having just a-
lard times as we are having to-day
t fol lowed the great Republican pan
ic of 1873.
Aud yet, all of your great papers
f to-day, and all of your leaders,
tre apologizing for the hard times,
ust as if you were responsible tor
them.
Your great pap ts and your lead
ers are joining your enemies and con
cealing the truth about the cause oi
the hard times.
You are pulling chestnuts out
of the tire for the monkeys of Wall
Street.
You are being made to dj the dir
