mills o the purpose OF SElluluB on
falsehoods. From February, 1866, IN
til Grant was elected President Of tn
United States in 1865 these mills wer
run day and night. The grist we
hastily ground and sent to Washing
ton, where 1t was cooked up for Radi
cal consumption. The Southern pee
pie were amazed at the number c
big, fat, jolly lies which these mill
manufactured. If q negro, while Of
his nightly peregrinatiOns in searcI
of a hen-roOst. heard the screaming G
an owl, he franticaIly rushed to som
O~fice-sCeking c~arpet-bagger, told hi
tale Of woe, and straightway anothe
outrage upon 'truly lOiI' men wa
telegrsphed abroad. According T.
Radical falsehOOds, the murder
Gus Ku-Klux were as numerOu
as the crop Of armed mel
which spraug from the dragon't
teeth sOwed by Cadmus while il
search of Europa. A white cravateC
saint could not sing psalms through
his nose without being bothered witt
the i~rcepressibIe khan" The white
taxpayer was driven from the polls.
and if anybody demonstrated while
the loyal were stufing their carpet
bags with plumber, the Radical papers
inundated the North with crocodile
tears, and the dupCd fools that read
and believed these stupid falsehOOds
commenced reading EOX's Book OF
Martyrs, to find a parallel to the per-
~secutiOns Of the poor, innocent Union
men down South. These fslsehOOds
were ransparently and audaciously
false; and, knowing that "a lie will
travel a league while truth is putting
on her boots" the Democrats made
no especial effort to expose and destroy
these SANDER mills. The result was,
as everybody expected, the election Of
Grant to the Presidency. So soon as
this result was accomplished, the
hOOd-gates were shut down. The
SANDER mills were as worthless as a
last years bird's-nest, OF the scales out
Of which a big black snake crawled
last spring. Having subserved their
purposes, it was hoped Tor the sake Of
decency and morality that these SIAN
der mills would be permitted to rot
down. But Democracy has again
lifted its head. Ithas gained strength
in the North and triUmphed in the
South. Radicalism was fast going to
the dogs. Something was needed to
feed the fanaticism which was about
to perish. The emergency required
desperate remedies, and in the midst
OF their despair, the Radicals recoI-
lected that they had heretofore tri-
umphed by falsehoOd, and they have
repaired and fabricated their rusty
mills, and put them in
successful operation. ISLANDERS that
have been used to exhaustion are TO 4
be revamped and ground up again.
The little earpet-baggers that have
5quatted upon tax-titIes in the South
srn swamps are ~chirruping Ku-Kiux
ike 80 many diminutive toads, and
deep bass, the big buL-frogs at
Washington echo back K-U-KI-u-x
K-u-K-Lu-x!! In every part Of the
South the SANDER mills viii be run
day and night for the future. If the
lies they manufacture were visible in
atmosphere they would appear in
every direction as thick as gnats be-
fore an evening sun. This is an age
Of progress; but under Radical aus
pices the art Of lying has pro
crossed far ahead Of all others.
With the Cretans, lying was a
natural gift; and though a natural
gin, it may be acquired, and is GER
highly susceptible Of improve
nent by art, and the Radicals have
;arried it to great perfection. The
art Of making superior swords, as
Dracticed in Damascus, it is said has
been lost to the world; but the Cretan
art has never been lost, but improved
IpOn by the Radicals who run the
SANDER mills and the mem
Ders Of Congress who retail their
secOnd-handCd.
Seriously, it is about time for the pee
pie to make a grand conhagration Of
.hese SANDER mills. They ought to be
consumed by the wrath of an
indignant nation. How long are
people &c be gulled by false
hoods? In other days the fanatics
If the North opened their mouths
Ike blind young birds and swallowed
everything that was offered by their
eaders. Is it not time for the people
% commence investigating for them.
Are they always to be duped
md guilod by the dirty chaf Of the
mills? We tell the people Of
he North that the Ku-Klux have
ong since fed to their s-ubteranean
In the Southern States the
divisions are broad, emphatic
nd distinctive, but there is no more
ioIence on the day Of an election
han there is in the North. During
be last three years both parties
ave committed outrages in the
Outh at the polls but it has
riginated with one party as much as
be other. These SANDER mills are
IN in the interest Of the Radical
and surely the great Democrat
/, party Of the Union, which has
1umphantly passed through fierce
forms Of fiery hail, cannot for the
lture be damaged and defeated by
old and patent falsehOods. The Dem
Gratis Of Congress must silence these
laundering mud batteries Of false
God. The SANDER mills that used to f..
rind so successfully and proftably in I
ennessee are without grist. Let them
e silencsd in every Southern State
3ndered so odiOus that even lying :
carts and brazen impotence dare !
OF run them.
