"SO.la Water. !"

The beverage popularity known as So
da water is SO named because 1t was
formerly made If hicarl,onate Of soda or
haking-sotla aud, in the East, bicarbon-
ate of soda is still largely employed the
manufacturers claiming that no cheaper
ingredient can hc furnished that can SO
well serve their purpose. 1t is said the
basis Of all fermented beverages now
manufactured is mostly made from sui.
phuric acid and ground limestone, and
not "marhle-dust," rs is generally sup
posed. It is ground to the consistency
of flour in powerful steam mill and
passed through sieve; the finer it is
ground the greater the quantity Of gas
that will be produced. BY the time it is
well screened it is almost pure carbon
ate Of lime, and is then poured into an
air-tight metallic vessel, denominated =
generator. and saturated with sulphnric
acid. BY the union Of gas and lime the
sulphate oil gypsum is formed, and the
carbonic gas is eliminated. Afterwarl
the sulphate Of gypsum is blown out Of
the generator, the gas is passed through
the pipes to another vessel, when it
il passed through the water, for the
purpose Of freeing it Of the presence Of
oil Of vitrlol or any other noxious gas.
From the gasometer the gas is passed
into portable fountains, containing i'll
tered water; for it il known that water
ut low temperature will absorb its own
volume Of carbonic acid gas. and the
colder the water the more gas it will alb
sorb. This is the reason why portable
fountains are always kept in cool cellars.

in the United States pointing toward
the East from the Missouri are COM
bined in these giant monopolies Of
travel and traffic with the Eastern
States, forming All oligarchy more pow
erflll than tho Government.
The power and corrupting influence Of
these combined corporations have grown
TO such proportions that they and their
attorneys In Congress can disregard and
defy public opinion, and compel all the
departments Of tho Government to yield
to their demands.
Every ono II the corporations in this
combination from the Pacific trunk to
its fanlike tributaries which diycrge
from the Missouri to the northeast, east
and southeast have their score Of attor-
neys In Congress. But few men can get
into Congress from any Of the States
who are opposed to tho Gonlds, Wander
bilts, Scots, CARROTS and StaEfords.
Added to these, and working in sympa-
thy with them, are the great bnnking,
telegraph, coal, oil and other colossal
blocks u corporate capital. whose com.
bincdpower Is irresistible by everything
save the intelligence and the integrity Of
the American lcollc. Sovereignty,
which the spirit Of our Government
rested with the people, is fast being al'-
sorbcd by corporations. These monop-
olistic giants have their clutches upon
the throat Of liberty, and their graphing
hooks sunk deep into the substance Of
the people. They nominate nnd elect
Presidents, control legislation and man
ipnlatc the judiciary in their sordid I'M
terests. The organ Of the great railroad
king boasts that 1.-THE machinery is now
furnished hy which the great financial
corporations Of the East can net togeth-
or, with such power that no net Of Con-
gross can overcome or resist their de-
risions.
Steadily and Professionally, like Grants
march to Richmond, the confedcratcd
monopolists arc marching on to sure
conquest. They do not always succeed
1T the polls, Int, like the night move
ments Of Grant, they are sure to flank
the people in legislation and in judi
cial decisions in the interim.
Do not be deceived. The cdiet has
cone forth. Monopoly has declared
var upon industry and individual
rights, and threatens to shed rivers Of
blood if necessary to make its conquest
complete.
The people are confronted Ivy power
full enemies in their midst. The danger
Is too imminent to be longer disregard
u. The issues OF the hour are too I'M
portant to be overlooked or indiif.rcntly
considered The interests at stake are
90 vast and momentous to be ieopar-
lied by petty chickering's and wrang-
iines over matters Of minor importance,

The Plot and the Play.

Across the continent, traversing the
Wild and nnoccupied domain Of the
United States, are two railroads COM
,leted in full or in part.
While Republican Congress was
.avsag the Union. and also laying the
ioundation for the most gigantic money
monopoly in the world, and robbing the
oldiers. and paving the way to wreck
he entire business Of tho country to
ndow this money. power, it was at the
anne time plotting 10 feather its own
lest and that Of its posterity bv the
aost stupendous scheme Of robbery and
poslation ever devised since the Nor
aan conquest. Daring this trying
eriod in the nations history, while
nillivns Of brave men and patriotic
yemen We're sacrificing love. home and
heir lives upon their country's altar,
he American Congress became q stock
'xchange. gambling in the patrimony Of
he widows and orphans Of the nations
defenders.
Like their prototypes Of old, they took
.dvantage Of the situation and turned
he temple Of liberty into den Of
hicv.s.
l. They stole and appropriated to
heir own use POO, 0O0, 900 acres OF the
oil which belonged to the rising and
allure generations.
2. They robbed the treasury Of sufii-
.ient sum Of money Ia construct these
roads.
3. They levied tax Of $3.50, OOn, 600

1. They passed law exempting their

5. They sadlled double tax burden
lpon the occupants Of one-half the ter
