There is no hope of relief from the conditions that now curse the
American people until both of the old parties have been destroyed They
are the willing and subservient tools of corporate power and are utterly
unable to perform a single noble and patriotic act This is the sentiment
that is breathed forth by every line and picture in Vox Populi the
illustrated Populist paper that is now producing such a political sensation
throughout the United States and from the columns of which the above
cut is taken
VOX POPULI is a l6 page publication and more than half of eachksne
is given over to Pictures and Striking Cartoons The statistical matter ef
each single number is VTOrth more than the subscription price for an entire
year 100 The circulation of VOX POPULI is general thronghont the
United States Every leading Populist takes it In the campaign of 1895 6
it will appeal to the eye and the intellect of morepeople than any other journal
in the nation Whether poor or well off you cannot afford to do
without VOX POPULI Single copies are sold at 10 cents hut any sub
scriber to the paper in which this advertisement appears who wishes a sample
copy can gefthe same by stating that they are subscribers and sending 4 ceat3
in stamps to cover postage etc to VOX POPULI -St Louis Mo
