the Indians on an island in Colorado

NOW THEY PROPOSE TO DO IT

Democratic methods OF raising funds
for political purposes have been un-'
earthed, and are having run through
the press. The propriety of some of
these schemes is more than questionable,
and cannot tail to impress the moral
sense of such Democrats as have con-
science left. Among these modes, one
is to collect moLey by school districts, in
every State in the Union, and to transfer
the sums SO collected to the doubtful
States. That Democrats intend the
herculean task of thus debauching In
DIANA, in particular, evidence is not
wanting to convince the most unwiI-
ling. But, one of the sources of the
great corruption fund which, with vio-
leuce and fraud, constitutes the Demo-
cratic reliance for success in the coming
election, IS just now coming to light,
and it is one of tie most probable, as it
is ole of tie most dangerous of the De
mocratic political levers. Al know

To put these bankers i'll the control of

not hesitate, aud he could afford to give

BeImonte, by dolating tie highest sum

the profits to the Rothchilds by having
a friend at tile head of the financial de-
partment of the government. Thus
may the Treasury Of the Nation be
placed, in the event of the election of
1'ilden, at the mercy OF foreign and
hostile interests, calamity the people,

impassioned prayer enforcing the solemn
