contend FIR as little government as possible that little

such legislation as is calculated to benefit lorGing
few at the expense ofthe people great whole.
II will oppose the establishment of MONEY Ma
CHINE in the shape of United States Bank. Past
experience has fully taught the danger of such in
sttuton, and revealed It's coITuptng and demoralizng
tendency. 1t will support, however, any scheme Of

hesitate to expose all abuses Of trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the natisn
or any other servant Of the People.
1t will fully reveal the workings and ntrigues of
corrupt and selfish politicians, especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernment, through the aid Of an irresponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard to
the purity of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
10 Candidate Tor the next Presidency
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per-
sona preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
Office The editor, however, believes that the sober
second thought OF the People is wrong, but al
