Labor Ts The Parent Of Capital, Encourage Labor, and You Build Up Capital
"Our Republic can only exist
so Long as its citizens respect
and obey their self im|K sed laws."
NORMAN, CLEVELAND COUNTY OKLAHOMA. FRIDAY. APRIL, 17. 18Q0
NO 38.
The K.iit a(;tiiiiHt Hie Went Hint
South.
The arrogant <leuund of Eastern
manufacturers for protection enough
to exclude all competition in the
commodities they manufacture and
their contemptuous refusal to con
sider the rights of the West and the
South make honest protectionists
who would protect all alike blush for
the cause they advocate. The mil-
lions paid by protectionists of the
East into the corruption fund of the
Republican party, to buy exclusive
privileges for themselves and to elect
Presidents who will make war upon
the West and the South for the ben-
efit of creditor Old England and
New England, as well as the monop-
olies of the East, has at last aroused
the indignation of an outraged peo-
ple outside of the favored land of
plutocracy and plunder. The unan-
imous demand of the Republicans
of the East for more taxes upon the
West and the South to build up Eas-
tern monopolies, for more United
States bonds to buy gold for gold
gamblers, and for less money and
dearer money, has at last opened the
eyes of an outraged people. The
time has finally come when buying
Congress with government patron-
age and public plunder to legislate
against the people for tariff and
gold monopoly lias attracted the at
tention of the victims of fraud and
misrule. The war on the people of
the United States was prosecuted in
the dark for many years. One-half
of the metallic money of the world
was deprived of its money function
in a bill codifying the mint laws,
with a harmless title, without the
knowledge or consent of the people.
Vast monopolies were built up and
thousands of mtilti-millionaires were
made by exclusive tariff laws which
were passed for the assumed pur-
pose of protecting American labor.
The people voted for protection,
not knowing that it was special, not
general; that it was for the benefit
of the classes, not the masses. The
people maintained the authors of
the demonetization of silver in pow
er, not knowing that they had des-
trojed half of the world's money
and laid the foundation for a des-
potism on the ruins of the republic.
The credit mongers, gold gamblers,
stock jobbers and tariff monopolists
have at last thrown off the mask
and now demand of right that which
they obtained by fraud. They are
not even satisfied with having trans-
ferred more than half the property
of seventy millions of people to less
than 2 per cent of that number, but
they annually demand greater and
more exclusive privileges, and in-
sists as a matter of right upon the
rule of goldocracy on the ruins of
the Constitution.
The question for the people to
decide is, will they rise in their
might, rescue their government from
the grasp of the enemies of free in-
stitutions and the robbers of civili-
zation, and restore it to the people
for whom it was ordained. "Choose
ye this day whom ye will serve"—
the conspirators who demonetized
silver and who have, fattened on
special privileges, or the people in
their soverign capacity. This coun-
try'in the near future, must be all
feudal slavery or all free under the
benign institution established by the
fathers. If you vote for either of
the old gold parlies, you vote for
slavery, if you vote to drive from
power the enemies of the human
race who now govern us, you vote
for liberty.—Silver Knight.

Cioldbujf Literature.
There has fallen into our hands a
circular sent out to all the newspa-
pers in the country by the Reform
Club of New York, which is com-
posed of National bankers and con-
trolled by J. Pierpont Morgan. We
print it in full, and our readers will
see that the Reform Club offers to
give plates free to all who will use
them. The editors of reform pa-
pers must pay printers or buy their
own stereotyped plates. Watch the
goldbug papers in the country, and
you will see that their so-called ar-
guments in favor of a of a single
gold standard are written by New
York hirelings and printed from
plates, which the editors receive as
a bribe for helping to betray their
fellow countrymen into the power
of Wall and Lombard streets.
THE BANKF.K's OFFER
In order to push the educational
work for sound currency and to re-
sist the efforts of free coinage advo-
cates to put this country on a silver
basis, this committee has arranged
to supply sound currency matter
to newspapers in certain states. We
offer to supply it in two forms:
1. Sound Currency Plates.—We
will supply these through either the
American Press Association, the
Western Newspaper Union, the A.
N. Kellogg Co., cr the Century
Press Company. A page is issued
every four weeks. Later we may
issue as often as every two weeks.
There will be no charge for these
plates, but you will have to pay ex
pressage on thein. All orders for
plates must go through our office.
2. Ready Prints.—If your paper
is a ready print and is printed by
the Western Newspaper Union, A.
N. Kellogg Newspaper Company,
or the Nebraska Newspaper Union
or any of their branch offices, you
can have from one to two columns
of our matter inserted by notifying
your company to that effect.
Inclosed herewith is a proof of
the plate which we are issuing this
week. It is a fair sample of all of
our matter. Inclosed are also order
blanks containing information to as
sist you in ordering. All orders for
plates should be sent direct to our
office. Orders for ready-print mat-
ter may be sent to your ready-print
printer. The plate and ready print
matter in most cases, will probably
be the same. Should you desire
porations, supreme. Let us do that.
The candidates and platform of a
party ought to tell you where your
votes should go.—Farmer's Voice.
The democrats of this county are
trying hard to convince the dear
people of this county that the county
investigation matter was all politi
cal buncombe and that nothing will
ever be done with the cases. Dis-
trict Court will convene here the 4,
of next month. County Attorney
Berry will be ready to try 'he cases
and will ask for no continuance. If
Judge Scott will call up the cases
those muchly persecuted Ex-County
officials will be given due opportuni-
ty to prove their innocence. We pre-
dict that every one of them will file
dilatory motions to have trial de-
layed. They are not going to trial
until they have exhausted all efforts
to keep out of trial.
Democratic candidates for empty
county nominations are scouring
this county for votes in the demo-
cratic primaries to be held the 20th
of next June. What self sacrificing
patriots these fellows are to give
their time and money to a nine
months canvass to secure a little
county office in order to serve the
peodle of Cleveland county for the
period of two years. The Populist
candidates are either busy attending
to their duties as county officials or
putting in their crops and will not be
much in evidence until August; but
about that time the one gallus fel-
lows will begin looking around for
men to fill the county offices for the
next two years and they will not be
the sacrificing patriots that are trav-
elling over the county at the pres-
ent time seeking nominations.

Money From liloori.
There is an increasing number of
suicides among the class that is em-
ployed by corporations; and in
every case it is plainly seen that the
men have been worked to death, al-
ways at a low salary. And is it a
fact, a stubborn fact, that great cor-
porations have so little humanity in
their management, are so hardened
to the scene of wornout men—and
sometimes wornout women—seek-
ing the grave as a relief from the
toil and burdens of life? It would
seem as if men, when they became
a part of the management of a cor-
poration, lose all feelings of brother
And one would suppose that, remem-
bering its own experience, its press
would know better than to think
that it can crush any political move-
ment by ridicule. Yet that is the
chief weapon which is wielded
against the advocates of free coin-
age and the Populists. It is both
futile and foolish. Both the silver
sentiment and the Populist move-
ment have grown and are growing.
They are elements in our politics
that no sensible politician will ig-
nore, for one of the plainest princi-
ples of generalship is to recognize
the strength of the opposing army.
We are constantly told that the "sil-
ver craze" is dead. It is not a craze
and it is not dead. We are repeat
edly informed that the "Populist
folly" is over. The Populist creed
hood and become brutish. In all the 15 "° more a folly than anV other P°"
departments of railroad management i ht,cal Creed and not nearly 50 ml,ch

movement that is backed by men of
conviction, as the Populist move-
ment is backed, is ever over until it
achieves a victory. The Farmer's
Voice is not a partisan paper. It
discusses political matters from an
independent standpoint and it sim-
ply gives expression to political
facts. It is not responsible for the
facts.—Farmer's Voice.
Even if they receive what is regard-
ed as good pay, they still work to
exhaustion, and some of them wel-
come death. They drop out of life,
and some one takes their place, to
be bled to death for the profit of
some one else. It is an awful con-
dition of affairs, is it not? The
farmer today making nothing;
his products bring less than it costs
to raise them, everything in the way
of living is dirt cheap, so cheap
that we can never have prospersty
in this country until they are higher.
If men only have living faith, they
can, by uniting throughout the coun-
try and working 'all for all' instead
of 'all for self' show to the world
Men can live on almost nothing, if j that faith with works
they wish to. They why should
railroads and other great corpora-
tions work their men to death and
drive them to suicide? It is simply
coining blood into money, it is sim-
ply driving ahead to make a profit
out of the hearts and tears and
agony of dependent human beings.
can remove
mountains of misery and oppression
from off the shoulders, of the labor-
ing people of these United States.
In no,other way can, we hope for
prosperity or avert the doom that
is hanging over us as a nation. If
either of the old parties again get
control of the government what has
everything the farmer has to sell un
til he can scarcely make a living,
much less pay mortgages or interest
that has been forced upon him,
through his dead faith in his party
which has neither clothed nor fed
him. Now, laboring men, tis time,
you were putting forth every effort
to educate yourselves on all the po-
litical problems of the day. Organ
ize and stand together, that is the
way the plutocratic parties have al-
ways done, they have always stood
solid against all demands of the la
boring people for justice. Now, if
the laboring classes will but take
the example the united money pow-
er has set them they can roll up such
a vote in the coming election the
last part of the prediction of Mr.
Erixson the astrologer may be veri-
fied that a third party would elect
the President in 1896.
