HT There are a great many old sold
iers who, helped to put down the rebellion
on bloody fields, who are now forMcKin
ley, but there is not one old soldier id the
United States, whose record was made in
the rear or In blowing a brass liorn in
camp, when at a safe distance from the
enemy or in mechanically disappearing
in face of danger or in robbing the gov
ernment out of their monthly pay, by
rendering no honest duty or in having
something the matter with his intestines
every time there was shooting to be doner
or Ik,beinga dead beat on general prinol
pies, who is not insulting, with his cow
ardly mouth, the soidiers who fought
for that liberty which such old army
sneak now take advantage of to talk
"armed resistance," if Bryan is elected.
The old soldier who did his duty bravely,
is tolerant the man who was a sneaking
coward in the war, is readily known by,
his abusive t*lk in the interest of HcKin
ley. To hear one of these fellows who
would take to the woods and leave his
wife to fight the Indians, talk of armed
resistance if Bryan is elected, is disgust
ing. One boy with a popgun would run
a thousand such cowards out of the coun
try. When it comes to that sort of a. fight,
we know some men who had better start
to the rear early for the goldbug army
will have no use for brass horns to be
blown in their camps.
~'tW The Sioux Valley News in its
issue of this week, closed its campaign
with lies and abuse of almost everr man
on the People's ticket. Did the people of
Lincoln county not know the character
of this man Nash and his dirty nature,
it might be necessary to answer his false
charges, bet the abuse of this man Nash
is considered a good endorsement, and
every man he abuses will run ahead of
his ticket. The LEADER will not retali
ate giving some records of men on the
Republican ticket, which would be
mighty interesting reading, because such
a system of politics beneath the dig
nity of a decent paper. Nash has en
joyed a monopoly of the mud business,
and he is welcome to it. A man who
made a record like Nash did in the Craw
ford case, is beneath the respect due any
depraved creature. Nash is a dirty crea
ture, and mighty few decent men in Lin
coln county have escaped bis filth. He
abuses men for drinking and other mis
deeds, when he is blacker than aoy ®man
he has assailed.
fy How is it that you can't point to
one single man in America, who has been
a defaulter of public funds, who is not
howling for McKinley and honest money.
The very dishonest instinct of these
rogues seems to be infallible.
fW The Iowa goldbugs got hungry
and Lad to eat something, and knowing
that they would have no heart to eat
after election, they concluded to eat their
oxen beforehand.
AN OPEN LETTER TO
THOSE WHO NEEO IT.
"For What Fellowship Hath Right*
eoDsness with InfighteoutMiess?"
The Sioux Falls Press, the most ve
hement McKinley organ in the state,
protests to its readers that it is their duty
to make across before the "yes" on the
proposition to repeal Article twenty-four
of the constitution of South Dakota.
After reading the Press'idea of what is
duty, two passages of Scripture occurred
to me, beginning with the 14th verse of
the II chapter of II Corinthians, and
ending with the 17th verse:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together
with unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with
darkness."
"What concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that be
lieveth with an infidel?"
"Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch nojj.the unclean thing: and I
will receive you."
Reading, as I have said, the Press'
declaration of "duty," suggested the
above passages, and reading these pas
sages, suggests some other facts devel
oped by the present politioal campaign:
Bob IngersolLis on the stump telling the
people that it is their duty to vote for
McKinley. and against that Christian
gentleman and life-long champion of the
temperance cause, against the unholy
powers of whiskey trusts and combines—
W. J. Bryan. Now, Christian-temper
ance voter, hold this fact up before your
eyes, just before you go into the booth
on election day, and ask yourself the
question: "What part have I who be'
lieveth with an infidel?" The marking
of your ballot will tull whether you be
lieve in your Bible more than party or
not.
The New York Voice, the great voice
of the temperance people of America,
publishes the fact that within a radius
of a mile about the McKinley home there
are fifty open saloons, and that a con
tinual scene of drunken debauchery goes
on day and night among the thousands
who make pilgrimages to Canton, to
acknowledge their loyalty to the great
Republican. It further publishes a plat
of the city, showing a saloon within two
blooks of the home from whose veranda
McKinley daily speaks to those intoxi
oated crowds and to which he has never
uttered one temperance sentiment or re
buked the revelers. More than this the
Voice publishes a legal transcript, the
title of tracing this saloon property, on
which twenty-five hundred dollars worth
of intoxicating drinks were sold to the
visiting crowds in two days and nights,
to the McKinley family, who listen to
drunken revels going on around and in
the buildlng.day and night, and know
that it increases the family revenue.
Crowds stop at this saloon, (many of
them mere boys induced, by free passage,
to leave their homes for the first time in
their lives,) and fill up to the enthusing
point, then march to the McKinley
veranda, listen to the "lord of the ma
sion," and retire to cheer the candidate
again as they reel and stagger .along the
bars of this McKinley mine of golden
revenues.
Take your Testament, you professed
Christian voters of Canton, and read:
"For what fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness? and what com
munion bath light with darkness?" Just
before ypu take the little rubber stamp
to stamp your ticket, just let it recur to
your mind, that while that booth is to
cover your acts with Hie protection of
secrecy, no man has ever invented a booth
that shuts you out from God's eyes,
where you can hold ooncord with Bob
Ingersoll, Herr Most and Belial—where
you that believeth can have a part with
infidels and the champions of the great
whiskey trusts who are spending thous
ands to debauch the people of your. own
state. Vote your Ingersoll, Herr Most
and Belial choice for president, though
your bible says, "Come out from among
them, and be ye separate," -if ,you place
your party's success above your faith in
your religion. This is a question that
will confront you in the privacy of the
election booth. Consider your ways,
after committing the above Scripture to
memory. CITIZEN.
BP No man in the history of the
United States has made suoh a noble,
earnest and patriotic plea for the cause
of the people as W. J. Bryan, since he
began his wonderful campaign. He
stands before the American people as one
of the noblest citizens of this great re
public, and his struggle to save his coun
try and the people from trust bondage
and plutocratic dictation, entitles him to
the respect of every man who laves lib
erty and freedom. W. J. Bryan will be
the next president of the United Slates,
because we firmly believe an all wise
power is behind him just as it was be
hind tha great Lincoln. Vote Cor Bryan,
ye who love American liberty.
SW' Merchants who want to see their
best friends prosper, should be able to
vote for the double standard.
m- Be on your guard, you free silver
patriots, and nail all campaign lies and
liars.
:rj,V
ty Nash true to'his filthy nature and
cowardly disposition, opens his flood
gates of billingsgate and falsehood in his
last issue before the campaign closes,
booing to mislead and deceive voters.
He lies about Walter Wilkinson when he
says that he is charging
B. Wait with
being a prohibitionist. Mr. Wait is the
man who iB getting into trouble. Wait
is a license man and a prohibitionist as
he finds his man. The trouble with Mr.
Wait is that he favors everything and
condemns nothing. He is a good lord
and good devil advocate. If Mr. Wait
was elected to the legislature no man
could tell where to find him. Walter
Wilkinson, as a citizen of this county for
23 years, has a record that any man
might be proud of. No man but Nash
has ever dared to raise a question of his
honesty or manhood. Mr. Wilkinson is
making no campaign against the prohi
bition cause or any cause. He is a can
didate for the legislature, and the people
want him there to help enact laws that
will reduce taxes and railroad rates.
A vote for the People's ticket is a
vote for home and family, prosperity and
better times. Remember this, you men,
who have been robbed by class legislation
and state officials. Remember your taxes
should be much lower than they are, and
remember the promises made by Republi
cans two years ago. State auditor Hippie
came to panton to prove that the financial
affairs of the state were in splendid shape.
Some of you probably remember a man
naiped W. W. Taylor. Since Taylor
scooped everything in sight, there has
been issued by the present state treasurer
$325,000 in state warrants. Think of this
you honest tax payers'when you go to the
polls next Tuesday, if
tW South Dakota and Lincoln county
are just as sure to go for Bryan as election
is to come. Let no man be deceived by
the claims ef the Hannacrats. The Pop
ulist and Democratic vote of this state is
equal to the Republican vote, that is
when the Democrats all vqte, and they
are all going to vote for W." J. Bryan.
Then take 7,000 or more silver Republi
can votes from the Republican column,
and add them to the silver vote and then
see if a silver victory is not as sure as
that election day will come.
|W The LEADER has had no occasion
to refer to any candidate on the Republi
can ticket other than to mention their
names in comparison with the exception
of Mr. JVirstad, and he began a campaign
against his opponent which called for
rebuke. Mr. Wirstad has no one to
blame for the exposure of his tricks but
himself. It pays to be honest in politics.
It pays to be fair.
tW Cleveland stands on the McKinley
goldbug platform and will vote for Mc
Kinley who stands on the Cleveland gold
bug platform. It is six of one'and half
a dozen of the other. What can be
gained by a change from Cleveland to
McKinley is a question all who want to
see a change lor the better should seri
ously ask before casting their ballot this
fall for president.
W The first amendment on your
official ballot calls for an amendment to
the constitution to ^permit towns and
townships voting bonds for Irrigation and
other purposes. The LEADER believes
this amendment, if adopted,, would per
mit a dangerous opening for creating a
useless debt. We hays too much debt
now. Vote no on this.
Vote for the entire People's ticket.
It is composed of good men from top to
bottom men who represent the cause of
the people men who are fighting the
people's battle against the encroachment
of monopoly and plutocraoy. Vote it if
you want to aid in the return of pros
perity.
fW McKinley says open the mills,
yes'open them all and run under full
headway, but what good will that do.
Can the millions of producers and labor
ers buy when they have no money to
buy. Mills will run when the people
have money. Give the people money.
tW Nash in the News this week,
assails Nels Larson bitterly and coward
ly. He acuses Mr. Larson of voting
against prohibition. Nash, who told you
this? Didn't you make this statement to
prejudice voters, and when you made the
statement, Nash, you knew you lied.
W The demonstrations of love and
respeot for.W. J. Bryan by the people of
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois is
beyond comparison in modern political
conditions. He will sweep those states
on the 3rd of November.
ff* There should not be one gold
standard Vote in Lincoln- county. A gold
standard vote means a continuation of
Olevelandism, hard times and low prices.
Do you want this?
Cg" The fourth amendment on your
ballot is the prohibition clause. If you
want prohibition to continue vote no, if
not vote yes.
SW The third amendment on your
ballot calls for a provision against trusts
aDd monopolies It :s safe to vote yes
on this.
Be patriots and stand for. Ameri­
can independence and human happiness.
A QUERY FOR
ANARCHY HOWLERS.
h-v.
W.
If Oar Respected Bryan Stands Oo an
W- Anarchial Platform. What Did'
Onr Revered Lincoln
Stand on in 1860?
Here are extracts from the Chicago
platforms—Lincoln's in I860, Bryan's in
1890. Ask the Anarchy shouters which
is what and what is which?
We denounce the
"We denounce ar
bitrary interference
by federal authori
ties in local affairs.
as a violation of the
Constitution of the
United States and a
crime against free
institutions."
lawless invasion by
armed force, of the
soil of any state or
territory, no matter
under what pretext,
as among the gravest
of crimes."
After quoting one of the above, Lincoln
in his inaugural address, sa}d:
That all the protection
which consistently with the Constitution
and the laws can be given, will be cheer
fully given to all the states when LAW
FULLY DEMANDED.
t3F" There should not be one English
gold standard man in Lincoln county,
not even a banker gold man. The gold
standard will ruin the producer, and
when the producer is ruined who can
prosper. Can the banker loan much
money to the renter or poor devil who is
deeply in debt? Can the merchant sell
goods to men who have little or no mon
ey? Who then is to be benefited by the
gold standard There is not one man in
Lincoln county who can be classed as a
rich man with thousands of dollars at
his command. Every man, business
man and banker, is dependent upon the
prosperity of the wealth producer. If
Canton was to burn down the wealth
produced by the farms would rebuild
and support it. Destroy vour farms and
see where you would be. Destroy the
prosperity of the people and your town
must suffer. Every man who votes to
sustain the English gold standard is vot
ing for a money system that has pauper
ized Europe and Will pauperize America.
Every man who votes to sustain the gold
standard is voting against the best in
terests of the people. Every man who
votes to sustain the gold standard votes
for lower prices and a continuation of
hard times and foreclosure of mortgages.
They tell you if McKinley is elected your
paper will be extended if Bryan is elect
ed payment of your obligation will be
demanded. If Bryan is elected,' God
knows, you will be able to pay your
debts. If McKinley is elected, you will be
permitted to work like a son-of-a-gun for
a few years more to pay interest and
then lose all you have got. The gold
standard is an English money system is
un-American in principle, anti-American
inspirit, and contrary to the letter and
spirit of the constitution of the United
States. Can any gold standard man
tell why he supports the gold standard?
We have never heard any man offer a
reason for hope for better times through
the goldrstandard, and no man can. Tae
gold standard is for the benefit of our
European enemies, hence it is against the
interest of every American citizen who
is not dealing in bonds. The LEADER is
confident that there would not be a gold
standard vote in Lincoln county if the
real and lasting benefits of free coinage
could be fully understood by those who
are shouting for it. Be American in
spirit and hope and stand by your coun
try, your home and your family'. Vote
for an American system of finance. Don't
be classed as a tory in principle.
