faithful of our city pastors. Rev. L.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The Republican party was rooted
from it's stronghold and sent ON its
way to destruction in the campaign
of 1876, when Tilden was elected
President. Since that time the peo-
pie Of the United States have begun
to think for themselves. They have
keenly realized the gross outrage OF
seating a fraud in the Presidential
chair, instead of he who was legally
elected to fill that high and honcra-
iJEto nnsition. The voice of the peo-
pie of Maine cs1rJee.accepted as some
indication as to how the next ~aresi-
dental election will terminate. The
past record of the Republican parry
is a mean record, and the party itself
has simmered down to the essence
of meanness. There was a time in
its history wheni it possessed some re-
deeming qualities, but that time las
long since passed away. 1t Is now
like an old .~stereotyped plate-it is
worn out, and has become defaced
and engraved over with crime, rob-
berry, plumber and abominations-it
stinks-and the more it is stirred
and raked the more disgusting its
loathsome and injecting odors be-
come, and the more apparent its CHI
canery and serpentine characteristics
present their ugly vissge to the view
of the educated and enlightened
masses of the people of this nation.
There is not a nan woman or child
under the government of this Re-
public who has not been robbed and
wronged by the Republican party.
1t has plundered tile national
treasury, and scoundrels, who were
| poor and needy at the beginning OF
| Grants first term of office are now
worth their millions, and in conse-
quence of such nefarious business
enormous taxes have been levied,
and the poor struggling farmers, la
borsrs and property owners have had
to foot the bills by the sweat of theil
brow, and the agony and anguish Of
their hearts. Away with the Repub-
lican party! 1t is going down the
road to hell, to death and perdition.
and when it dies Gas it must shortly
the old devil himself shall have ceased
to exist, and apurer and healthier at
mosphere will circulate throughout
the political horoscope of this great
nation. GREENBACKER.

TIE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

We are approaching the best bust
ness season of the year. The labor
and heat of the summer are e
Wheat and oats are harvested and
tfirashed, and the country is studded
with stacks of the finest hay. Where
ever it has been properly cultivated,
the long corn grins from out the
opened shock. We live, too, in the
pest climate of the world, which af.
ter a few frosts and consequent
rains, furnishes a most suitable
period for crop gathering, and feed
ing and fattening of stock. Every
thing, also, is as beautiful at this sea-
son as it is conducive to health and
prosperity. Nothing can surpass
Indian summer, with its softened
light, tinted foliage and stimulating
atmosphere.
Amid these benign influences, is it
any wonder that business is looking
up, that the farmers are happy, or
that they talk louder and move mor
briskly, and examine more goods
than they did formerly, or whist is
still more encouraging that they are
paying up better than they did a year
ago.
Clear, bright, brisk, celebrating
days will have their effect, but good
crops and prospect of fair prices are
doing more for our farmers than any
thing else. Zach of them under
stands now what the result of the
yearfsgoi1gsJo De, anu rs preparing
to act accordingly.
Happy faces among farmers, tend
to brighten the countenances of
merchants. Nothing is more infec-
tious and contagious than prosperity.
1t never stands still. 1t passes from
man to man, and while 1t runs, it
sparkles, encourages and %revives.
1t is only necessary to look through
the stores to see what the merchants
are doing. Each train renews their
stocks and places or their shelves,
fresh piles of goods of every imagin-
aDie character ana variety.
There is one but exception in all
this business stir and that is the
printer. The merchants are oblivious
of the press, and don't seem to I'M
derstand that their business can be
increased by advertising.
The past times have been as try
ing to prlnters, as any one else. and
as no class of citizens, has labored
harder for prosperity, it is but fair
that they should participate in it. So
seal in your advertisements. We
have now the largest circulation in
the coEnty.
