"THAT SAME OLD COON lo
Mr.. JACOB SrRArToN.

"THAT SAME OLD COON !"
That sam old coon that put to
flight the locos in 1910, is march
ing through the land again. He
first made his appearance in Ohio
at a recent wing gathering; was
next seen in New Jersey, where
5000 wings were gathered in coun-
Gil; from thence he journeyed to
New York city, where he was
welcomed with shouts. The wings
of New York city recently had a
glorious gathering, when the same
old coon was introduced to the as
sembly. The shouts and applause
attending his introduction, shook
the building to its base. He i'm
mediately started for Dayton,
Ohio, so as to be there on the 29th
Sept, and be introduced to Mr..
Clay and the hundred thousand
wings assembled in council. We
will give, as soon as received, an
account ofhis reception. He will
probably visit all the states in the
Union previous to 1914. Vermont
ers will there fore have an opportu-
nifty to see that same old coon,"
that scared the locos out of more
than 200 electoral votes in 1910.
We hope the locos will have cour-
age enough TO come out and see
him. He will not bite, he only
squeezes very affectionately; and
is very easy to form an acquaint-
ance with.

The minority in Congress have lea

country a system Of direct taxation, an
excls e law and a system Of low duties
on imports, in order 10 lstten the British
Merchants al the expense OF The Amerl'

or shape or form a tariff has been pre-
senled, combined resistance TO Is sew

Of truth, honesty his of repeated pied.

Will the people Sustain the new views
Of policy9 Will the people Iies down
and allow foreign spectators to dram
them Of what little of the comforts OF

TO be answered at the coming elections
The demagogues will try every art TO
avoid this issue. but come 10 It they
must. The Locofocos and the poor pitt
fI b%ireling presses belonging TO the
Captains family will combine, or rath

will ind II all to no purpose. They
will find that the people have 'oeen
thinking and weighing in their m.nds
The bearing Of every question Of naIlon'
al importance.
or late it appears that it is not the
distribution clause which keeps the Lo-
co(oco party and President in opposition
to the tariff bill, but a determination 10
keep the duties below 20 per e We
have seen part of the effects OF this
policy. The country has been going
down for several years and must contiu.
ne to go down so long as it is continued;
but we have not seen all the effects: we
have not seen t~axgatherers from the
General Government calling on every

This we have not seen. We have not
seen the exeiseman. We have free

many windows in our houses as we
choose without being subject 10 a ak:
but, il a tariff on foreign goods is moi
