not Lelp him to long as he is in i
uou'm p-raep. Bryan is free. A yot
man frea is better than a prison 4
let him bo ever so old. y,;
Let us now glance over Haori-i
person. By tho size of bis col j
and hat we would think he was a
common man. but that is a mistake.
He has energy and power, brains
and endurance that never fail;
nerves that never gi back. Ilanna
has an iron will that is tyranny it
self and with a bottomless appetite
for money.
When the civil war broke out he
was 23 years old, instead of going- to
the Hag of bis country, he stepped be
hind the defek and commenced piling
up dollars. A millionaire never goe
to war. This is written for the laborer.
There are many of them that earn
their bread by the sweat of their
brows, who do not yet know JIanna.
Others of these back-bent, weather
beaten people know him already too
well. Jn the star veil-out coal mines of
Hpring Valley, on the steamohip land
ings of the great Lake, In every hole
In Pennsylvania and Obio where coal
i j dug, iron melted, and oil pumped;
on the street car lines of Cleveland, O.,
aDd in many other places where man
is rabbit, Alaik llanria is well known.
The sound of his name is the signal
for a dark cloud on the forehead like a
storm of condemnation. It is shown
to everybody at a glance just what he
is. uppressor witnout mercy; king
over all on his big pay roll.
Ilanna was 2.'1 years old when Sump
ter fell. While others ran to the iiag,
he took the Government contracts,
filled his pockets, and now he is owner
of O.OMOOO. He owns iron mines,
copper mines and coal mines in Mich
igan, aud coal mines in Illinois, Ohio
and Pennsylvania. lie owns whole
lleets of ships on the lakes, and is
transporting coal up and irou down;
he has big wharves and builds his own
ships; he is interested from Duluth to
New York, with business otlices in
every town on either side of the big
lakes. JIanna is the ruling spirit
wherever his interest is; if he can't
control it all he comes out. Owning a
private estate of f20,00O,lC0, he rules
in politics over ten times as much. lie
can march in front of a capital of $200,
010,000 and be obeyed as promptly as
a general of an army in war. This, in
connection with an emergency that
never fails and a heart as hard as
stone and cold a3 ice, constitutes Mark
llauna's power.
Mark Ilanna employs, thousands of
workmen. He has fought every one
of them in attempts to strike. You
lind hardly one in his employ who
does not hate him with lire and llame.
Why? I.ecause he lives on them ; he
eats them at every opportunity. He
got 95 per cent, of his $20,000,000 by
oppressing his workmen. IIi9 first
light in his war against the laborer
was with -the Sailors or Seamen's
Uuion on the lakes. Ilanna and his
plot made $10,000,000 on the strike, and
the many women and children that
should have lived on this will never
trouble Mr. Ilanna or hi3 partners
any more
This is the same Ilanna that now owns
McKinley. Later on he was instru
mental in disorganizing the mine la
borers in Pennsylvania. With his as
sistance was the street car organiza
tion in Cleveland wiped out. The Cen
tral Union has asked if this is not so,
but no answer has jet come. Mr. Itan-

Washington. I). C..Oct. 10th. 1896.
During the last week a joint electoral
icKec nas Deen arranged in w est Vir
ginia, by which the Populists get the
electors-at-Iarge, and the Democrats
ine lour district electors. Tins ar
rangement makes West Virginia cer
tain, while before the McKinlpv rfn-
ple were claiming the State. Ho far,
01 n electoral tickets have been made
n twenty-eight States, in nearly
every one of which the Ptoples party
nas Fecurea a lare-er proportion or the
electoral vote than the strength of the
respective parties would wem to iua-
tify.
lhe Republicans are creatlv chas-.
rined over the arrangements recently
made in Indiana and West Virginia.
Through their emissaries they did ev
erything in their power to prevent
oint electoral tickets from being made
n these two States: and now. have
these same emissaries at work in these
two States, as weii as in nearly every
other State, trying to breed dissensions
and get as many Democrats and Pop
ulists as possible so rebel against these
oint electoral tickets, under one pre
text or another. In fact, joint elec
toral tickets have been arranged in a
sullicient number of States to make
the defeat of McKinley and lhe gold
standard certain. Mark Ilanna reali
zes that his only hope now is to try to
prevent the people from supporting
these joint electoral tickets. The pa-
notism of the voters can be depended
upon, however, to deleat this last hope
and scheme to fasten the gold stand
ard upon the nation.
HOW THE SITUATION. STANDS.
The outlook has greatly improved
during the last ten days. The reac
tion has set in all over the country
against the Republican boodle cam
paign. Ine masses ot the voters have
begun to realize that the monopolists
and trusts are putting up millions of
dollars to try to buy the election in or
der that these trusts and monopolists
can fatten upon the masses of the peo
ple for another four years, lnforma-
ion received at the headquarters of

following States are almost absolutely 1
safe, with the prospects brightening
each day.
whatever kind of victory they have
won.
Tbe outlook for Bryan and fret, sil
ver is much better than it was tea day
ago. The reaction ginat the schemes
and methods of t be Republican party
ha already set in, and will rrow in
force until the day of the election.
This proved tbe im potency of a boodle
campaign wbeo tbe people are aroused
on a great and vital issue. ' Tbe pres
ent indications show two hundred and
thirty-two electoral votes, reasonably
certain for Bryan, with at least an
equal chance for seventy-five more.'

40. Because free coinage will rai$e
the price of silver by giving it use
and cheapen gold by taking away

41. Because Blaine said the main-

tion of the gold dollar favor it.
3. Because gold standard monev
is dishonest and makes the debtor I

4. Because the gold dollar is ap-

making debts harder and harder to
pay.
5. Because the only objection vet
heard against bimetallism is, we are
not big and strong enough to have
it without foreign aid. Can we not
legislate for ourselves
0 Because we can introduce bi
metallism without foreign help, for
we would have with us twenty-seven

a population of 995,000,000.
7. Because we would have against

The above States which are now rea
sonably certain for Bryan, with a cer
tainty of gaining steadily to the elec
tion, gives two hundred and thirty
two electoral votes, or eight more than
enough to elect.
It will be noticed that in the above
table is not included States like Illi
nois, with twenty-four votes; Dela
ware with three; Minnesota, with
nine, Michigan with fourteen, and
Iowa with thirteen. In these States
Brian's chances are at least even. In
fact, if the election was to take
place tomorrow, it is almost certain
that he would carry several of these
States, if not all ot them; and there is
every indication that tbe silver senti
ment will be stronger in these States
on the third of JSTovember than at
present. Thus it will be seen that
Bryan can be elected if all these Cer
tral Western States, which are con
sidered the fighting ground in the
campaign should go for McKinley. If
the reaction against Hanna's boodle
campaign continues, as it has set in
during the last ten days, Bryan will
have votes to spare in the electoral
college. Today, even Ohio is tremb
ling in the balance, and may go for

Free, he was for silver; bound,
bought and owned, he is for gold.
He is for anything and everything.
He is hero and he is there: lie is

word, dictated by the syndicate. Is
this not a nice conditional right to
set up for a kirg for tb.9 voter
kings of Americal What a proud
day it will be for this country when
a President takes a seat in the
White House, absolutely the slave
of a syndicate and led by them with
a halter!
Why don't they give back McKin-
Tey's notc-f Why do they hold these
113,000 in power as a living pun

Is it because they can make a bet

the syndicate is holding such a can-
noa and the President is the sight.
Much is raid about Bryan being
so young. It would be better if Mo-
speculatiou he made $1,000,000. He
reached his aim.
This ia Ilanna, he who owns the
candidate for President, and intends
to buy him into the White House. He
owns the Republican party. Lincoln

knew how miserable the Republican
party tow is.

Why should Mr. Vanderbilt be in

any other man? Certainly not, you'll
admit, if you are at all intelligent.
His life and body will have the same
protection that every other man has,
and really, in this respect, he expects
no more, and not a penny of bis con
tribution is given with the idea that
he is to have any more in that respest.
This being true, then, what is the ob
iect of giving this princely sum? His
property interests are at stake, are
they not? This is the motive, then,

munificent gifts of millionaires to
swell the enormous sums expended in
political campaigns, we're told that
legislation has nothing to do with our
business interests. We are told that

pockets, etc. These princely sums

Bryan. As we have said above, there
is, in fact, but one danger now, and
that is Hanna's efforts to try to get
dissensions on the joint electoral
tickets.
The information received at head
quarters show that the labor vote will
probably vote more unitedly this year
than ever before. The eliorts at co
ercion aud intimidation by the em-
lovers of labor was never before
greater than it is this year, and the
manhood of the laboring man is now
beginning to rebel against his master,
who, not eatisued with making him
an industrial slave, is now trying to
make him a political vassal also. The
goia people .maoe an appointment a
lew days ago for Powderly,in Chicago,
advertised him as a great labor leader,
and did everything in their power to
get the laboring men out to hear Inn?
But the laboring people, believing
that Powderly was in the pay of their
enemy, refused to go out to hear him.

01 all of these eltorts have been to
arouse the manhood of the
men, and make them come out boldly
and declare for Bryan and silver.

lo. Because, if we said we would

for less than that price, and then
sixteen ounces of silver would be

19. Because the dollar under free
coinage would contain just so much
silver as the silver dollar to-day, and
this buys luu ' centi' worth every

may take 53 cents' worth of silver to

A Forecast.

Dear Sir: My business has taken
me into almost every part of the
country duiing the past two years,
and basing an estimate on the senti
ment of the people as I have found
it, I submit enclosed forecast of the
election.
It is safe to count the solid South
with 152 votes for Bryan, because

money than the farmers receive
for all their wheat, corn, cotton md

It is twice tbe amount spent i i . ain ;
four times the amount spent i Great

amount spent by the Germaa Km pi re,
and more than is spent by a dozen of
those smaller European Governments.
