ing aneCuOte, as descriptive Ol tne leellnBS Ol
the people in every section of the country:
A friend was conversing with loco foco
member Of Congress, from a loco foco State.
Show do you think the people Of your
State now aref Do you suppose that they
are yet Democratic?" The honorable mem-
Der paused for a few moments, and then
replied, "I suspect my people are in the situa-
ton Of traveller that once heard Of. He
stopped at an inr to breakfast, and having
drank cup of what was given him, the SER
want nskcd, what will you now have tea or
coffee? To which the traveller answered
"rhat depends upon circumstances. II what
YOU gave me last was tea, | want coffee. II
1t was coffee want tea. / rant a change"
Hard Cider.-The Pewter Mug party are
very much shocked at the cry Of hard cider,
(which they themselves first started. As spc-
cmen of their love for temperance, we quote
the following from the NJ Y. American:
Mr.. Editor: Please allow me to ask the edi-
Tor ofthe Ev'g Post where his scruples of con-
silence were, when the Hickory Pole was plan
led in front Of Tammany Hall -? IL is fact
that when that hickory pole was planted, a
barrel of Beer was empted into the hole dug
FIR the foot of the pole, and The uotaries cfI
Tanlm0ny and arorshippers of Gen. Jackson,
thus going the whole hog, trough and all
from the Natchez Courier of June a6.
More Help in .Mississippi.-Day is surely
breaking in the bcnighted counties of Missis-
sippi Judge Walker, well known for many |
wears as fierce friend of the party, has re-
nounced further allegiance TO the throne aud
enlisted under the banner OF the people. In
company with Il. Jones Stewart, one OF the
Wing Electors for this State, Judge w alker
is travelling through the eastern counties of
Mississippi, doing bis most to atone for past
sins by giving heart and soul TO the support of
Harrison and Tyler Spread light through the |
North and East and Mississippi will render a
verdict through the mild medium of the ballot |
box, that will place her among the proudly !
free.
Economy of Jeferson.-In his inaugural
Address, he laid down economy as principle |
of his administration. In his annual Message
of Nov. 1904, he shows that he had redeemed
his promise. He states the national income OF
the proceeding year at eleven and hall mill
ions, and that he had been enabled safer meet
ing all the ordinary expenses oi'the year, TO pay |
three millions six hundred thousand dollars of
the principal of the public debt"
There is republican cconomy-Jetlerson ex-
pended almost eight millions for ordinary ma
tional expenses, and President Van Buren, ex-
ponds about 40 millions year. The contrast
is striking.
The farmer can raise no more wheat on an |
acre, no more wool from a sheep than he |
could in 1886, and he gets only third as
much for what he does raise. In 1886, far
mer brought 100 bushels of wheat TO market. |
He got for it SIPS cash. He bought 100 lbs. |
ofcofee at Ia cts. ga; 10 lbs tea at rs cts,
81 so; 10 yards Of cashmere al 81 SO, Sl5.0C;
s yards OF Calico 81 90; one bride, 50 and
one h. of Cavendish tobacco, S7i cents. He
had then $S5 l2l 10 carry home. He goes 10
market in June, 1910, with his hundred bush
els Of wheat, sells it and buys the same articles.
What does he now have TO carry home
t,relue and half cents. Is not that farmer
the loser Of $S5 by the present state OF things.
