ANrI-Rt NJ ITEMS.
Congress, the Courts and the Church fear the
power of grOg.
The legal right TO make and sell rum sweeps
a vast army of the Young and middle aged to
dishonorable graves.
Rum has been preached at and PRAYED ut for
generations, now the time has come to vote at
it. Another generation may have to shoot
at it,.
The liquor men now see their property is in
danger and they are going to the Democratic
party to protect their property.
1t is understood by the liquor interest that
Butler is the rum candidate. The rum vote is
composed, largely, of men who style themselves
Independent Republicans and the Democratic
party.
Everything that is criminal debasing and
villainous finds its abiding place in the drinking
saloon. BY it boys are educated to be drunk
ards and brought up in idleneSs, vice and
beastiality.
When rum is outlawed the property of
citizens engaged in one department of industry
will become YalueeSs but we shall raise Il
breed of boys who will have no thirst for rum
and the grog shop will cease to be Il factor in
politics.
HOME TRUTHS FOR DEMOCRATS.
The Democratic party can get into power
easier than it can hold the power.
Nobody expects the Democratic party to die
or do the country any lasting good
The Democrats can straddle crotch harrow
and then turn round and swallow it. The
Democrats took both sides of the money ques-
ton and it didn't hurt 'em any, but the Green
back party was hurt.
When the Democratic party allowed the party
OF jackson to be used as Il tool for the slave
power 1t lost Its conscience. Since then the
Democratic party has been only the tool ot the
leaders and has lived for the last 20 years on
the hunger for office.
The Democrats are not apt to move from
their ticket. In the last presidential election
t"c(e Seton was on the fusion Democratic Elec
toral ticket and he headed what was called Il
'botinG" Greenback ticket. If there was a
man in The country the Democrats hated at that
time it was Uac(e Soi0H, but most all of 'em
voted for him. They will vote for most any
thing that is put on their ticket.
A DAYS WORK On THE FARM.
If ten hours was a days work on the farm
there would be less trouble in keeping Young
men on the farm.
Many farmers work so many hours, that as
soon rs they stop work to rest or so to church
on Sundays they drop asleep.
There is nothing attractive about farm work
if you go into the field in the morning before
sunrise and WORK all day with the backache in
the burning sun, and do the chores after dark.
When the first settlers came into this State,
the men who could cut the most trees and lop
the most limbs got rich the fastest. Since then,
! improved methods of creating wealth have been
invented and also improved methods of r0bbng
the producer have been devised. The men and
women who create our vast wealth save very
little, but our laws are so shaped that we raise
Il big crop of mlllOnareS every year.
THE LATE GREENBACK PARTY.
Had the rank and file of the Greenback party
been made of sterner stuff the leaders would
have kept in their places.
In those states where the Greenback party
was strong it has "petered out" because pro-
fessed Greenbackers deserted our faith.
