NEW DIRK, August i 1911.
The news from Washington continues TO
gladden. the hearts Of all Wings in this region,
and those who unwaveringly resisted the over
whelming power Of misrule through the long
night of darkness, are more and more rejolced
that they have lived 10 see this day. The con
fidently anticipated passage Of the BANK Bill
and the REVENUE Bill, in addition TO the excel
lent measures Of National defence and financial
integrity already enacted, have dissipated all
gloom in this quarter. Every one feels that the
country has now the very Congress that she has
long needed, and that all necessary and proper
measures of relief TO the People will now be
perfected But fearful will be the reyulsion,
bitter the disappointment, if the BANKRUPT Bill
does not become law before the adjournment.
Friends at Washington would you but realize
how many crushed, despairing, helpless fellow
creatures are pining in hopeless and useless
wretchedness for the passage of this act, you
could not, you DARE not go home without passing
il! The spectres of the ruined and heart-broken
of beggared families and blasted hopes-woud
glare upon you from every glade and thicket by
the way-side. Be entreated, friends in Con-
gress, if your understandings be not blinded TO
policy and your hearts dead to humanity, to
signalize this glorious extra session by letting
the hopelessly, uselessly oppressed GO FREE =
Do SO, and millions will rise up To call you
blessed, while you will have contributed i'm
mensely to restore prosperity and business ac
uvily to our depressed country.
The Loco-foco gathering in the Park on
Thursday evening was quite large one.
think from four to six thousand persons present.
You will have seen that the resolutions de-
nounced every prominent measure of the session
earept the Bankrupt Law, which was left en-
tirely untouched. 1t was first intended to de-
nounce the passage of any Bankrupt Bill with
out including corporations but some of the best
working politicians of the party went to the
leaders and told them that they would not stand
t-that any measure calculated to impede the
passage Of the Bankrupt bill would create an
explosion. SO it was given up. The direct as
sertion that the Bank Charter shall be repealed
at the first opportunity threat made under the
sanction of the best names in the party here
will show the country what it has to expect from
the return of Loco -focoism to power.
