your heads and ponder over this ques-
ton: Why is it that a few Democratic
and Republican leaders are willing to
spend thousands and hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars to win the election?
The Republican newspapers refer TO
the business men of New York with
considerable flourish of trlmpets. The
business men, they refer to are Local
ted on Wall street We do not call
them business men. We call them
stock gamblers.
CONCERNING the victory in Maine
the Democrats are pondcring over the
question of whether it was the Green
back whale that swallowed the Demo-
cratic Jonah. or whether it was the
Democratic Jonah that swallowed the
Greenback whale,

members in the Mississippi legislature
the Republican party has three. The
Greenback partynumbers twenty-six in
the legislature in Missouri-the Repub-

back party is dead.
THE law of value for value in the
use of money is not only false in prac-

WHEN John Sherman got the indus
tries of the country into such condi-
tion that no man could employ labor at

NORTHWESTERN Kansas is alive
with live Greembackers, and they lose
no opportunity to advance live prnci-
pies. Many are pronounced Green
hackers, who but Il few months ago, were
strong Democrats and Republicans. In
some localities where three months ago
there were not more than two or three
Grcenbackcrs, the coming election will
show that two-thirdS of the voters are
GrecnbackerS. The fire is spreading.

upon those who shall come after us;
seeking to entail upon future genera
tiOns the burden of debt which is bind
