On which he doth not pay a tax,
But you pay interest, six per cent,
Upon them. Is it your intent

Them of with greenbacks? What do
you say,
Ye farmers, and that right away?
7ico h,mdrcd millions would you save
by doing so the questions grave
Hence think, before you vote for Moore;
Think of the struggling, starving poor.
Each vote for Moore is for high bread,
And coffee, sugar, meat. Instead
or voting thus, just vote for him
Who il your friend, and hath the vim
TO speak for YOU and say to them
Who hold the bonds; My friends, ahcm
Bonds have you there, ,untaxed conccrni
And do you take. from him who earns
His bread by labor ? Ill declare,
This will not do it is not fair
So fork them over, be not lax,

Our DUTY.

OUR DUTY,
In 1864, when Lincoln was nom,-
mated, We made an earnest effort to
rally a third party ona moro radl-
cal platform. We rejoice thai we
made the effort, and still esteem it
evidence Of wise patriotism. Tho
reelection Of Mr., Mpcon was a
grave mistake, from the worst con
sequence Of which kind Provi-
donce saved us by his death,
Our efforts and protests in 1864
were vain, As useless and vain
now 1t seems to us, would be any
effort to organize n third party
And there are some reasons which
rcndor il largely, if not wholly, un,
necessary. In 1864 tho masses were
not by any means alive TO the duty
Of the hour. Ready for any stop,
they had no definite idea what step
was needed. Further, they leaned
with far too mnoh trust on Mr., Ian
coins supposed statcsmunship and
honor,
