Vote, To-Day!


Vote, to-day, MERCHANTS Every day our
commerce langnishes more and more, from the
total absence of all internal improvements
Our trade is diminishing. Railroads and
canals leading it from us to the Eastern
cities-offering facilities which we do not--are
daily penetrating further into the Valley of the
Mississippi, and by rapidity, certainty and
security of transit, and by vastly more favora-
BILE rates of transportation, are fast robbing us
of what we have heretofore foolishly thought
forever and peculiarly our own. Under your
present restrictive Constitution, no corporation
can exist for a longer period than twenty years

cessfully and efficiently for an existence of only
i twenty years. You need banking facilities,

fOrbids you to have them. Vote to-day then
