are the main questions upon which the Two 80 80
parties are now diyIded-the Democrats osnos.
and the Republicans affirm a. to each of the pprr ons
o~sitions we have named.
While fully approaching the magnitude as
national issues, the LoEE-DENoCRA will No,
be unminetul uf the importance Of questinrs
which affect the West, and especially the stats of
Missouri. Among these is Immigration w
shall do all We possibly can to encourage Erroe
peans seeking a home on this side of the Atlsntic
to investigate the claims of this great State -its
fine climate, it, fertile soil, aad lis great mineri
resources. Everything is good here except poIr.

any other way, or through any other agenrr
The Ieaven Is working. and we have faith in ia
success within a few years. In the meantime vs.
shall not forget that while Republication is =
help TO immigration immigration is also a HEN
t. Eepubiicani,m. The thrifty farmers Of n.
Eastern states who move West in persuit of
more land to meet the necessities OF a growing
family are not Bourbon Democrats; and the N.
du-tri0us foreigners who come here for homes and
field. W ili soon learn to choose rightly between
the two parties.
