Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1878-08-30

dered a carload of the best concentrat-
ed, for the election washing. Not a box
or half-pound could be found in the
market. The old parties had destroyed
the manufacture. Keep it before the
people that the old parties have de-
stroyed all the money likewise In 1866
money could be obtained at rates vary
ing from II to 20 per cent. Now, not a
dollar can be obtained The Indepen-
dence banks have not dollar to lend
without security Money is worth
scarcely ten per cent. The candidates
of the Irredeemable have scarcely mon
ey enough to pay their scribes and itin-
Grants. Paper and ink cost money, and
pensiye. [ shall vote on this count in
| the affirmative.

! Il have felt great change come ov-
or me. know | told the truth as to
what property is, but | did not under
stand then the nature of property as
created in the Imagination | never
had much faith in the doctrine that la
Dor alone created property, but in the
doctrine that labor when directed by
mind creates it, | had great faith. I
had thought that property is thought
materalized. Property is much more
the product Of mind than of labor La.
Dor is the means to an end. Labor is
by direction, while mind is creative
| Labor can only change the forms of ma
terial substances, and make different
combinations with materials What
these forms and combinations shall be,
the mind must determine The thinker
is not Independent of the laborer, while
the laborer is largely dependent upon
the thinker. Labor and capital are re-
ciprocal in their relations. This was
my old way of thinking. But since |
have learned that the Imagination Gre
ates property, am ready to vote that
the old parties destroyed property.
Anything to beat the old parties. Let
us do everything to excite the imagina-
ton, then property will be in great
abundance in the possession of every
man. Keep the people in pleasant
dreams, and never commit the crime of
rousing them, as did the old parties.
Little need be said of the money of the
Fathers No. 15 discussed this item
directly and indirectly am ready for
the vote. The old parties have caused
this ruin
No. arose:
1 have heard nothing said directly
in regard to the phrase, they have di-
minished the production of the earth.
Brother ID showed this very conclusive
ly when he was arguing the hog ques-
ton; for what was said Of hogs in this
connection, might be applied to any
thing else that grows. Yet little
more particular This very year the
Republican party destroyed, or rather
diminished the production of wheat by
several millions of bushels. The Dem
ocratic party winked at the destruction,
while the leaders of the Irredeemable
made their couches to swim, and mourn
ed all the days with contracted spleen.
The loss Of wheat was caused in this
way: The wheat was very promising
to within two and one-half days of har-
vest, when the hot weather cooked the
milk and brought on the blight. Now,
had the Republican party, with the as
sistance Of the Democratic, brought on
the eclipse few days earlier, and kept
it on for few days, all this destruc-
tion would certainly have been prevent
ed Here was gross neglect of plain
duty. Had they done so it might have
cost us few votes, but then, this would
have been more than counterbalanced
by the great uprising in Dubuque coun-
ty. AS the vote on this count is sure,
pardon me if | wander from the sub
ject, and tell you the news. Our agent
in Dubuque county is carrying every
thing before him, and as much follows
him. The crusades would suffer in a
comparison Men desert the fields;
women and children the houses, and all
follow wherever he leads. 1t is one
triumphal march. He leads them to
the groves, and expounds to them the
blessed doctrine of the 1rredeemablc.
He tells them of the blessed days soon
to come, when man shall cease to labor
In his vest pocket he carries concen-
trated bran enough to feed the thou
sands that follow him. He has silenced
The Daily Times, and converted The
Herald He is active and vigilant; he
neither sleeps nor slumbers. While he
speaks, fine cattle back up to him and
switch away the flies and mosquitoes
with their tails Thus the tales of the
greenback, and the tails of fine cattle
are all conspicuous at the same time.
Though this agent was born and brought
up in another county, and is now res
ident of another county, still he de-
serves we'll of Buchanan and in a few
days he will come to Buchanan and
claim his well earned reward. As he is
very young, perhaps some of the old
hard d-hearted may think he can afford
to wait a year or two. until he is accli
matized, as the frosts of this upper
county are very severe. Yet, he de-
serves we'll of Buchanan for he has
closed the banks in Dubuque, and the
Campbells, Brown, Smith, and the rest
of the clerks of the National Bank; and
Ross, Coy, Myers, and the clerks of the
Peoples hold prayer meetings twice a
day and three times on Sunday, in the
cellar, praying with heavy hearts, that
three bulls may kick this agent and one
may hook him, so that he may not be
able to come to Independence. This
agent is terror to evil doers. He will
surely seat our candidate -
When the vote was taken, every one
voted in the affirmative. The Assembly
adjourned. All felt that the session
was profitable and that one more blight
and two little early frosts would not
leave member of the old parties in
the land
Paper Money or France.
