Havley with tho xand stealers.

Mr. Hawley, on the llth of April last.
see Congressional Globe, page 1858, re-
ported bill giving away a vast tract of the
peoples land to railroad from Lincoln,
Nebraska, to Denver, Colorado
On The 30th of the same month, see page
3, 1913, he made a short speech advocating
an extension of time to the Cairo Il Fulton
railroad company, to enable that monopoly
to complete It's first 20 miles of road so that
the company could hold on to the land
swindle it had formerly secured, bat which
had been forfeited BY reason of not COM
plying with the grant in buildingany portion
of its proposed road.
Ga various subsequent occasions, in May
and June, he made lit lie spec ches in aid OF
the lard graboers. Some OF these speeches
were interlarded with meaningless, spread
eagle platisudes about land for the andless,
&C., &C., but the main object and purpose of
his speeches and votes was TO help the land
grabbers. He alluded, in grandiioouen
phrase, to the immensely of the public do
main, said he was not afraid of our ever
getting short of land, &C., &C., there was
enough and more than enough for all This
was the burden of his story, and his votes in
favor of the land grabbing policy show that
he was their msu when they needed him,
however much he mighttry by honeysd words
to make the people of his district believe to
the contrary.
II this policy Of giving away the lands of
the people to enrich private monopolies is to
be continued it will not long be possible for
a poor man to take advantage of the home
stead law, and the vast public domain will
be squsndered.
Ofthe millions upon millions of the peoples
isnds given away by republican congresses
since 1860 one hundred and Sirty three
millions Of acres are now awaiting location
by these land sharks, an area greater than
six states like Indiana enough 10 give 100
acres each to over million of families.
At the very last session OF congress a repub
iicsn senate voted away sn area Of the
public domain greater than all Germany
and France combined. The land policy of
the republicans is one of the most fruitful
sources of corruption, and one of the most
alarming. \ director in certain railroad
company recently stated that he found on
their books whole sections, and in some
cases whole townships of land set off to
certain members of congress, SIS their
portion for siding in procuring the grant.
Farmers, mechanics, laborers who have sons
wanting homes, should reflect how they are 10
obtain them, under the homestead law or
otherwise, If the policy of the republican
party is to be continued. And ell who
value economy and prudence BY the govern.
ment, or purity and honesty in our
members of congress, should reflect on the
inevitable consequences of this policy, and
then help send man to congress who is
above purchase, and who will watch the
expenses of the government and help expose
| md defeat the squsndering of the public
lands.

TEMPERANcE FASATIcIsM. = We learn
from the Banner, German paper, issued il

Incident, showing the operations Of the
Maine liquor law parry In Iowa; and showing
the justice ~ which the officials of that
state deal out to unofeuding parties:
Nj. Qlickenstedt of shis city shipped
al assortment of wines and liquors to two
saloon keepers IN Victor, Iowa. The freight
agent 81 that place refused to deliver tn
goods tn the saloon keepers he heiug mem
Der OF a temperance organization in thai
place, ard very likely informed his fellow
members OF the arrival of said liquors A
lew hours Atterward. The bers of the
emperauce organization, IN company with
70 sheriff attached said liquors. They also
4 ID the same II liquors found in the cellars
Of those SELDOM keel ers. Mr.. Baustisn, the
agent for the sale of the liquors, arrived OF
Victor few day after and tried bis best

Mr.. Claussen, the LAWYER, snc-
ceeded in arranging settle
meDt, which was on the follows; 2
terms That the costs must BE- paid
20 small amount; and ihst the liquors were
then to be released, on the very moderate
conditioner quitting their vocation, dis
posing of all their liquors Immediately"
This tyranny on the part Of those in pow
ar IN that state will soon have g beneficial
Eject upon the Maine liquor law question.
and will have the effect of opening the eyes
Of the people of Iowa, sooner than any other
plan the temperance party could have
adopted.

The Union argues that Mr.. Hawley was
right in voting for Spink's protection resolu
ton because the democrats orce passed
similar resolution If republicans wish to
pick Up and proudly wear out old csstof
clothes they are welcome to them. We had
en- old pair of boots which looked nice
once, in the then fashion, but are out Of
date now. We have no further use for them.
and Hawley can strut around in them if he
wishes too, The old pants and coat which
We wore few years ago are worthless now
but if Hawley wants to swell around in
congress in our old clothes, and then come
home and have the Uaion print with pride
his appearance, we havn't the least possible
objection The old clothes don't fit us now
We are wearing better looking suit. You
can dress HawIey up in our old buds as
much as You please.
