The yellow dog has his advantages-is not
without his value. Intrnsically, his value Is
greater than that of the average greenback.
There Is constant demand for him in the arts,
as driving gloves and toilet soap. but be is not

this standpoint. We would, however, propose
that Congress should pronounce its rat over
the yellow dog, and dye or stencil upon its slsb

This is an OK" Eminent ssatisticians have
computed that there are over IS, 500, 900 yellow
dogs in the United Safes. Estimating the

we have Jost described. there would be added
TO the national wealth S270 900, 900. To be sure

that 1t cannot be exported is the source and

care for foreign nations? The yellow dog ia

MAcAULAY's prophecy is worth recalling
about these times: Gas long as you have a
boundless extent of fertile, unoccupied land,
your laboring population will be far more at
ease than the laboring population Of the Old
World; but the time will come when New
England will be thickly settled, wages will be
low and fuctuate, and sometimes many will
be out of work. Then your institutions will
be brought to test. Hard times make the
laborer discontented and turbulent, and in
cline him to listen with eagerness to agitators
who tell him that it is monstrous iniquity
for one man to have a million while another
cannot get full meal. When legislature is
to be chosen, ON one side will be a statesman
preaching patience, respect for vested rights,
strict observance of public faith. On the 9TH

capitalists and usurers, asking why anybody
should be permitted to live i'll luxury while

sort of legislature will you be likely to ex-
pect? fear in some such season of adversi-

The decisive Republican victory in Color
ado is not only victory for honest money,
but rebuke to the Democratic House for
unseating the congressman the people of
Colorado elected by so large majority. The
