From the Chicago Times.

A very excellent campaign pamphlet has
been published by the Wheaton and Milton
democratic club (Du Page county, entitled
"Finance Us. Labor The author, Mr.. Ly-
man L. De Wolf, is lawyer, residing at
Wheaton, H., who has had occasion in his
practice to investigate financial subjects
and especially the tendency Of capital in the
direction of monOpoly-with much thorough
ness. Having always acted politically with
the republican party, the result OF these pro
fessional Investigations WAS to convince Mr..
De Wolf that the financial doctrines of that
party were essentially anti.republican, and
tend directly to the consolidation of political
power in the hands of moneyed monopolies
and to the erection of an aristocracy Of
wealth as the ruling power in the republic
With such convictions, Mr.. De Wolf found
it impossible to act any longer with that par
ty, and his pamhlet in support of the demo
cratic policy and candidates is the result.
The pamphlet is addressed particularly tt
the industrial classes. 1t is very cOmpre
hensive aud thorough discussion of the bond
and currency questions, in relation to The
public debt, and exposes with remarkable
perspicuity the monopoly tendencies of re
publican theories concerning them. In al
addendum to the second edition, the author
briefly alludes to the rhodomontade of sun
dry attorneys for the bondholders concern
ing bonds held in trust by banks, insurance
companies, g., as subjoined:
"The debt of the United States bearing coil
interest, August |, 1868, was S2,42O,6SI, 500
bearing currency interest, SlO2, 4,O65; bearing
no interest, $4lO, 1902, S9l--making in all a deb
of s., 1888 jSS, 756 the interest and principal OF
which must all come out of the laboring elias
for the benefit Of the non-labOring class. ThH
n few laboring men, having small surplus, may
have purchased few thousand dollars of these
bonds, or Ethat insurance and trust com panie
and other corporations may have invested few
millions for the widows and orphans under ther
guardianship, does not change the fact that th'
non-labor classes are the principal benefcarto
Of this labor robbing system, nor that the labor
classes have the whole of it to pay out of thet
products. In connection with tho above, the fol
lowing table showing the consol debt of seven
teen nations, is instructive as showing thu
amount of this annual and perpetual robbery

such an occasion in Quincy. Mr.. Single.

In his speech here Wednesday the people
of this county would have been pleased with
AN explanation from Gen. Palmer of the
good reasons that induced him to visit
Springfield while the new state house was
pending in the legislature and to exert him
self with his party friends and the governor
to procure the enactment ofthat swindIe that
will impose, at this inopportune time, an
expense upon the people, of three millions
of dollars, to the advantage Of property

Miss DiCkins0n's Childhood.

When about twelve years old Anna en-
tered "Westown Boarding School OF
Fricnds," 10 Chester County, and remain
ed there two years; from this she went to
"Frend.' Select School" in Philadelphia,
where she applied herself so diligently to
her studies, that, although she pursued
over a dozen branches at one time, she
seldom failed in recitation.
During all her scbool-days, she read
with the greatest avidity every book that
she could obtain. Newspapers, speeches,
tracts, history, biography, poetry, novels,
and fairy tales were all alike read and relish
ed. For weeks and months toge ther her
average hours for sleep were not five IN
the tweuty-four. She would often read
uatil one o'clock in the morning, and then
seize her school books and learn her les
sons for the next day. She did not study
her lessons, for, with her retentive memo
ry, what she read once was hers forever.
The rt5 mes aud compoSitions she wrote
III her young days bear evident marks of
genius. When fourteen years old she
published an article headed "Slavery" in
the "Libcrator" She early determined
that she would be public speaker. One
Of her greatest pleasures was to get a troop
/ of children about her and tell them sto-
ries; if she conld fix their attention aud
alternately convulse them with laughter,
and melt them with tears, she was perfect
! ly happy. She loved to wander ali over
the city alone, to think her own thoughts
and see what was going on in the outer
world One Of her favorite rendezvous
was the Anti Slavery Office in Fifth Street t,
| Il. 81 for
people talk about the horrors Of slavery,
or 20 read papers, tracts, and books on
.hat subject AT fourteen she left school.
She was skillful in all kinds of house
work, and orderly in her arrangements.
She was willing to do any kind of work
to make an honest living. No service
however hard, or humble, seemed menial
TO her. Being queen born, she ielt she
dignifed whatever she touched; even the
broom became sceptre of royalty in hei
hand.
When about thirteen years old she Wis,

from school, aud asked for some copying
He, pleased with the appearance of the
bright child, asked her if she Intended tc
do it herself; she said, yes. He gave hel
some, which she did SO well that he inter
ested himself at once in her behalf, auC
secured her work from other Offices al
we'll as his own. How she could get mon
ey to buy books was the one thought
next to helping her mother, that occupied
her mind. To this end she would do any
thing,-run errands, carry bundles, sweep
walks,-and as soon as she had obtained
the desired sum, she would buy book
