A Mulligan Parable, by lingo!

bIhSO' W. O.
And behold certain gang came around
lingo and yelled out "Mulligan Letters
And lingo spake parable to this gang and
said:
A certain man went down from Jerusalem
to Jericho and fell among Mulligans and
Fishers, which let him in on the ground floor,
of their enterprise, sold him stocks and bonds
that were proftless, stripped him of his own
and his friends spare cash, and wounded him
and departed, leaving him half dead and carry
ing off his confidential correspondence.
And by chance there came down a certain
priest that way, which his name was Curtis;
and when he saw him he said behold, l
am in favor of free trade" and passed by on
the other side. on his way to see the white
elephant of Buffalo.
And likewise Levite, which his name was
Schurz, when he was at the place, came and
looked on him, and passed on the other side,
en- route to fill an engagement to blow for
reform at the remunerative figure of 5000
per night.
And presently Pharsee, which his name
was Goldman, CHANGED that way, and he came
and looked at him and said go to, but if
this man had been hangman with a turn for
unchastity he might be torgiven'-as it is
cannot condone it," and he likewise passed on
the other side.
And by-and by behold one of the first fami-
lies, which his name was Piggy" Everett of
Quincy, happened along, and he came and
cast one eve-glass upon him and he said 81,
too, would have pardoned unchastity, but
cannot countenance this" and he likewise
skipped over to the opposite sidewalk.
But certain Samaritan, which his name
was Average Voter, as he journeyed on his
way to the polls, came to where he was and
when he saw him he was mad about it.
And went to him, and bound up his wounds
pouring in oil of many votes and wine of
much enthusiasm, and set him at the head of
his ticket, and brought him to an inn called
the republican House, and took care of him
way up to the handle
And on the morrow, when he went to the
polls, he took out five million soveregnties
from under his own hat, and gave them to
the republican host, and said unto him /:
There lie the electoral vote of every North
ern State. and thou should'st have more, but
for yonder Southern reformer with the
rifle"
Then said lingo to one Of the gang
(which of these travellers, thinkest thou,
did the square thing By him that fell among
the Mulligsns aud Fishers?"
And he said: ''He that had the FIVE mil
lion sovereignties under his hat"
And. by Jingo, he was right!

In some of the Southern States the cause
of popular education is making rapid
strides. In Florida the number of public
schools has increased from 67S eight years
ago to 1476 at the present time, while
during the same time the number of pupils
in attendance has increased so per cent.
1t must be regarded as significant that
those States which have made the greatest
educational progress are these where the
bourbon democracy is constantly growing
weaker.

The Effect of Campaign Forgeries.

Boston Transcript Anti BIaine.)
The last presidential election called into
being one ever to be remembered forgery,
the Morey letter, which was circulated BY
the democratic national committee, and un-
doubtedly deprived General Garfield of five
electoral votes in California and three in Ne
vads. So far, in the contest now going on,
only two minor forgeries have been perpetra-
ted-one of General Raum's name to circu-
late about assessing officeholders, and an
other of Neal BOWS name to a letter intend
ed TO intensity the hostility of the liquor in
terest against Mr.. Blaine. Such unscrupu-
lous electioneering only hurts the party in
behalf of which it is employed.

There was method"-says special
dispatch to the New York Sun, from Ham,
ilton, Ohio-"in MIR. Blaine's tariff speech
here yesterday. This brisk little manu-
featuring city, the county seat is the Gen.
tire OF tariff agitation that threatens to
reduce the usual big democratic majority
by several hundred. The men employed
in the mills and shops are mostly Irish
men, who, besides n natural inclination to
go to Blaine, are becoming alarmed at the
echoes of free trade speeches that are
borne here from Kentucky and the West.
So interested have the workingmen be-
come on this subject that a large anti free
trade club has been formed among them.

There is dry goods firm in Milwaukee
which does some advertising out of which
good campaign document may be franz
ed. The firm displays retail price list of
their domestic goods for September 1884,
and compares it with the list of wholesale
prices paid for the same staples in 1850.
The price of wheat in 1860 is also quoted
and compared with its present price.
Attention is called to the fact that the wages
of laboring men and mechanics are higher
today by 25 percent than they were in
1860. Here are some of the figures in re
gard to bleached cottons. as quoted in the
advertisement: New York Mills. retail

price, Is 1-2 cents. Wamsutta, 9 1-2
cents 1860, wholesale, IS 1-2 cents :;
Utica Nonparel, 1-2 cents retail today :;
1860 at wholesale - cents. The same
difference might be shown in the prices of
a dozen other kinds of cottons and prints :;
but the point is made clear in the quota
ton given above. The working man or
farmer today can purchase these goods,
which are among the necessaries of
life for him. from 90 to 40 per cent less
than in 1860. they could be bought at
wholesale; and meanwhile the price OF
farm products and the wages of labor
have advanced from 20 to 25 per cent.
The workingman who in 1860 got dollar
day and paid over Is 2 cents for
bleached cotton, today receives 81 % and
buys the cotton in Milwaukee tor 1-2
cents yard. Would any sensible work
ingman, looking at these facts. wish to 90
back to democratic rule and free trade,
when the republican rule and protection
will give him higher wages and lower
prices tor most of the goods which he has
to buy? We should think not.

The Tribune crowds a great deal of
truth into small space in the following
from its columns: 1T is a campaign of
principles and men on the republican
side. On the democratic side it is a
campaign of living. The democrats adopt
these discreditable tactics because thew
have formed the habit of conducting
campaigns in this way. They have not
yet got above the level OF the sidewalks
where they scrubbed 329 four years ago.
The Independents who have rushed into
their foul embrace. are rendered desperate
by the certainty of defeat now staring
them in the face. As they have not es-
tablished their original case against Mr..
Blaine, they are compelled to manufacture
charges out of whole cloth. 1t is gross
carnival of cant, hypocrisy and mendacity.
They ransack his business transactions for
new ISLANDERS. No lie is too foolish for
them to repeat Having failed to convince
the American people that Mr. Blaine was
a corrupt and venal legislator, they are
trying to prove him to be fool who tells
ialsehoods for the sheer love of it, when
nothing whatever is to be gained by it.
The Hooking Valley story is case in
point; and the preposterous story which
Mr.. Joy has denied, shows how demented
these scandal-mongers have become.
Meanwhile, the republican campaign for
principles and men is moving on to final
triumph. and the throng of slanderers and
liars who are now grovelling in the dust
will soon be buried deep under ground"

will continue to be in its farms, docks and herds,
and the most happy, prosperous and contented
people should be farmers who own their farms .
Agricultural pursuits in America promise in the
near future to occupy a still higher place among
the category of honorable occupations than they
now hold, and we shall see more of 'the bone and

honor and trust in the management of public

How much happier Gen. Grant would be to-

ton Jefferson and Jackson, retired to some beauti-
ful spot in the country, and made immortal an

fortune and reputation have beel swallowed up in
the maelstrom of financial Gambling-together
with millions of dollars of other peoples money
that had been intrusted 70 him on account Of his

THERE'S one thing to be kept in mind in re-
gard to the financial crisis now prevailing in the
east, and that is that no crash can destroy the
emoney there is in the country. Panics may
lead people to draw their funds from banks, and
may lead them to sacrifice investments, which
does not wipe out the cash itself which has been
30 deposited or 80 invested. Nor will people
with money long keep it tied up in old stockings
or hid between mattresses. They will want it to
earn them something. When the lull comes,
therefore, Es come it must and will, these
millions which! aforementioned, have not been
destroyed, viii be looking for d place to be
H~ecurely Of service to their owners. Then will
be the day of extraordinary investments in the
west. Dakota lands have never lost a cent to
the man who has invested in them, and exter-
prises by the thousand are to be found throughout
all Il is region which are as safe as government
bonds. The money which viii be pulled out of
Wall street and out of the uncertainties of ordi-
nary investment, will come to us out here and it
viii give its holders absolute security and good
returns. there is never any great loss without
some small gain somewhere, aud the crash which
is affecting the east is certain to rebound to the
benefit of the west Our people are therefore
warranted in looking forward to an era of even
unusual prosperity here as the result of the co n
dition which is nov ~sgitating the money center,
from which money is being driven, and which
will not soon again locate there, bat which must
aocate somewhere. - Sioux Falls Press,
