HOW SHALL We TOTE.


that whom the time came for US to execute .
freeman's will At the ballot box ws would give
our advice IS to the exercise of that important
prerogative
VS. have been an interested observer Of
passing events during tho canvass isncs the
several tickets were launched, and which We
have kept at the head Of our columns. There
are three tickets in the field, but only ono can
b. elected. 50 it may be said al voters, except
on the winning side will lose their votes, or as
the saying frequently is, s'throw away their
votes" but this is not SO. The Liberty Party
org anized 36 years ago didn't throw away their
votes, when IN their first presidential cam
paign they cast only 1000 votes in the whole
nation for James g. Birney for President.
That little ''stone" which represented truth and
honest conviction kept on growing till it filled
the land. 1t was the precursor of the birth of
the great Republican party which has rendered
essential service to the cause of humanity and
progress, but, which like all other great par
ties is in danger Of destruction from corrupting
history proves to be incidental to long contin
ued lover.
No man loses his vote who gives it to express
his we'll considered honest convictions, whether
he votes alone or with tens or hundreds or
thousands.
As regards the Electoral vote in the State of
Minnesota there is no doubt there is q Repub-
10
hence it is good opportunity for vascilating
Republicans and Democrats these who are in
elining to different f lancial policy from that
pursued by the two great parties to break ranks
and to array themselves against the despotic
money power of the nation.
The menacing attitude of the speedy re-
sumptionists, has already precpitated wide
spread bankruptcies, financial ruin and dis
tress, and this is likely to continue until there
shall be no more victims for the sacriice.
But it il said there never has been in this CONN.,
try 80 much unemployed capital; there is NO
lack Of money at the great centres Of COM
merce; but capital rtaer keep it locked up
earning no interest, than to let it go in uncsr-
tain ventures, hence there can be no relief till
confidence is revived, and restored.
This then, the revival of confidence is the
freat problem to be solvad.
We have been interested spectators Of the
speedy resumption policy; it ismarked by
broken fortunes, desolated homes an untold
army Of tramps "so-called, and hosts of them
becoming 50, not from choice, but from dire
necessity; there is no work for them. We think
therefore that the financial policy Of the two
great parties has had fair trial, IS the wants
and woes of millions can testify; and it il time
to have change; such change as will put
all that circulates as money, entirely under the
control OF the government, making it receiva-
BILE for all duties, and debts, at least such as
are not foreclosei bv irrepealable legislation.
OF course We must pay coin interest where we
have agreed to. but coin according to the Con-
stitutlOn Of the United States includes silver as
we'll As gold, but silver by corrupt legislation
has ben expunged from the category. Silver,
should at the earliest moment BE- restored to
its former function as a legal tender. This
done, would be grand step toward acircum
vention ofthe gold gamblers, who ara ever on
the alert to corner the coin market. Money in
abundance, but locked up in the vaults of the
capitalist and banker, is like human body in
state Of Gsphyria or superseded animation,
and the most heroic treatment is required to
restore the circulation, or speedy death must
ensue.
P rhaps the safer and better course for us to
pursue now is to support the Independent
ticket, represented by Peter Cooper and Samuel
Cary. II thu financial policy represented by
them as standard bearers, shall be found in
perfect as tins rolls on, corrections can be
made. Let it have trial. 50 you have our ad-
vice in regard to National affairs.
Now, Tho shall We vote for, for Congressi
We answer without hesitation for
HON. l. DosAELLY,
he is the most capable and best fitted to serve
this district in tho councils or tho sation. We
say this, whilst We have high respect for Mr..
Strait and Mr.. Wilder, but Mr.. Don nelly 10
better qualified than either for our. representa-
tive.
Well then how shall 10 vote on our Comfy
ticket We reply, vote for the best men ir-
respective of party Learn all you can a. to

An honest vote for the candidate who will best

prevail.-Rice Cossty Journal.
