Let Every Republican Help According
to his Meana.


to his Means.
FELLow REPUBLICANS: In the important election
have just upon to redeem Minneso-
Ia from the rule Of Democratic extravagance-Indian
Trading incompetency and reckessness-and trucking
subserviency to the Slave Power-it behooves every
dvidual Republican help by every means in his pow
er-o speak, write, argue, sing, and aid actively the
hard work Of a thorough organization.
In particular, the expenses otae campaign must be
divided amongst the whole Of tho Party.
Ia these hard times, even leading men, and men of
reputed wealth, are crippled in money means.
The party has no central fund whatever to pay the
travelling expenses of the Speakers who devote
their time and energies and talents to canvassng the
state while the other party, filling the offices and
trolling the Treasures of the Nation and State will be
aush of Money to electioneer on.
Wherever therefore our speake come, into what
ever locality we hope patriotic Republicans enough will
be found to keep them clear Of all eepsnses- to take
thsln into their houses if nothing more and In every re-
spect show that Republican hospitality, dictated BY
unooush patriotism equal to the exigency quite %

A SONG FOR THE TAXPAYERS OF
MINNESOTA.

BY ISAAC DARE.
Dig! dig! dig!
Plough! plough! plough!
A farmer worked through the livelong day,
With heavy heart and brow;
Turning the stubborn soil,
Scattering wide the seed,
That should furnish the home of the son of toll
With bread for the hour of need.
Would you not call his own
What those laboring hands have won.
From the pelting rain and stubborn earth,
And the burning heat of the sum-
No!-for plotting crew,
In helish, vampire way,
Have fixed their teeth in the old mans throat,
And are sucking his life away:
Lean, white-liver'd men!
Silent, and keen and shrewd!
With the tireless pace of the blood hound grim
When he follows for human blood:
And large, gross-bodied men!
Plethoric and over-fed!
With small heart lodged Ger stomach huge,
And clear, cool, spacious head
They have plotted it far away,
In parlor cosy and fine,
With laughs and jests, and whispers and winks,
Ger bottle or two of wine.
They follow the path of advance,
In the wake of each newborn State,
And they tread in the steps of the pioneer
With the certainty of fate.
Dig! dig! dig! dig!
Plough! plough plough!
bxl,o IL, he, &c xLa
With sorrowful heart and brow.
Sow and harvest and thrash
Thrash and harvest and SOW
Down the gluttonous NAV of the Railroad Men
Must the wealth of your earnings 60.
Little by little, they led you in;
Little by little-they'll keep you there;
You must pay your tax, you must save your
home,
Though you live on prison fare!
IT'S good to be merry and wise;
And to seem to be honest and true;
IT'S good to be up to the ways of the world,
And to "know thing or two!"
And who would work while the fools are alive
And thick in every field, [power,
While the bonds are afoat and "the party in
And the banking law unrepealed?
Dollars are sweeter than sweat
And ideness sweeter than toll;
And crop of gold from harvest of groans,
Is the sweetest sort of spoil.
Then dig dig! dig!
Plough! plough! plough!
For some are saddled, while others are spurred,
And we're ready to mount you now!

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Graham.
The Democrats as their sun sets behind the
horizon, are developing new lights. A new
orator has appeared among them, constitu-
tional Moses to lead the chosen people out of
the house Of bondage. Mr.. Christopher Ora:
ham, U. S. Land Officer, heretofore known
about Red Wing and Henderson as small
local politician, the every s-friend of a
limited neighborhood, has set up for an Amer
lean eagle, put on a pair of feather breeches,
a couple Of outstretched wings, and spread
himself extensively.
On Thursday night last, at the Post Office
Square, he split things generally and funda-
mentally, putting to great risk the feather
breeches aforesaid. Christopher is the max
ing of an orator, but he needs filling OUT
His voice is cracked and thin, and resembles
somewhat the cry of distressed barn yard
fowl; his grammar is rusty from want of use,
and needs airing; and his spread-eagle ges-
ticulations are very much Of the turkey buzz
zard order. Christopher described the Re.
publican party as "going round the country
drumming on the head of a whiskey barrel
with the shin bone of a niger" The point
of this witticism is not very clear-its chaste-
ness is quite apparent. We noticed that the
Democrats chuckled immensely at the mention
of the aohiskey barrel. 1t was suggestive.
We would say to Christopher that if the Re-
publicans do resort to any such mode of cleo
pioneering, it is for the purpose of calling the
Democrats together!

KER, as will be seen from the following extract
from their report, as we find it in the P;o-
neer:

entertained OF Baker, by all concerned in these
transactions, accept Mr. WrsgAt aho persists IN al
herring, though considerably shaken, in his conf
dencs in Baker's integrity."
Mr.. WRIGHT is the Auditor of State who
was associated with Mr.. BAKER, and who
must have known of any rascality and could
have checked it efectually, fiji existed; yet,
he adhered" as the committee are compel
led to state though they do so with malig-
nant sneer,-" to his confidence in Mr.. BEcy-
ER's integrityr'
The confidence expressed by Mr.. WRIGHT
has the more &ree as the Committee in anoth-
er part of their report endorse Auditor WR1GHr
as "tairly detailing the facts in his testimo-
ny" which they admit had compressed conf
dence in Mr.. BAKERS integrity" Thus, their
oaoaa Uitaess contradicted their own forced
conclusions-their putting disointed facts to-
gether-their garbling them-and then draw
ing unwarrantable deductions from them.
The Pioneer and Democrat had better try
again. Failing to connect him with the huge
frauds Of the Ohio Democrat, BREsLlN-and
the mendacious and forced conclusions of the
BREsLIN co-thieyes, packed on Democratic
legislative committee Of Investigation, having
also Gzzled In making out tangible case
against him-the "organ" will now have to
invent something new and original on its own
hook.
We had almost omitted to notice the i'm
mense point made, that Mr.. BAKER had left
Ohio and migrated 10 Minnesota; and there
fore the BREsL1N thieves couldn't "get his
testimony" Mr.. BAKER is very censurable.
He should have chained himself to the soil Of
Ohio for life!
In word-this whole hillabaloo about the
corruption Of Mr.. BAKER as Fund Commits.
sioner Of Ohio, is piece of base electioneer.

understood, to divert attention from real thieves

"bribed in negotiating the 8 per cent Stocks

But in both cases, we think an error o.

charged upon either.
