!, EDITOR LEADER
The citizens of this portion o
n the Great Republic, have tor many
years, ke .)t toiling on through the
chilly winter, and the summers
heat, bearing burdens from vari.
GUS sources. Faithful and sub
missive have they been, until their
burdens have waxed very great,
but thinking it "long lane that
never turns" they have restrained
from crying out. When they
toll from year to year on rich
farms at that, and then selling
their produce at the end of each
year, and yet gradually but surely
go down Mill, betrays wrong some
where, and it seems to me that it
could be plainly seen by the most
stupid of the ignorant.
Monopolies are undoubtedly one
great cause OF so much OF this OPP
preston. and the everyday labor
ers all over the Union are seek
ing through the medium of the
Alliances" to put down this mo-
nopoly oppression. Where does
the oppression ceme inl The big
capital-holders prices their goods
to us and force us to pay them,
while on the other hand. they set
low value on what little produce
the farmer may raise, to suit their
own convenience and force us to
accept. No coffee drinker will
say that monopolles are not wax
ing very oppressive to all consum-
ers. Yet, some will cry out that
capital should be protected. We
concede that the rights and priyi-
vileges of all home industries
should be protected from the in
vasion OF foreign speculation. but
it would not take a high tariff to
do so. A tariff for revenue only
is sufficient
"Free trade" will doubtless be
warmly agitBted in the next presi
dental campaign. We need not
look to England for a principle
which to vote upon, nor discard a
principle because she looks with
favor upon it, but we can come
right home among our own coun-
trymen and see too plainly how
things wag. High tariff is legis-
lation faIoring the money mo-
guls, who gravitate to Wash
lngton City, the centre OF gravity
for the money suckers. Think of
the many thousands ofpure, noble,
bright and intelligent girls aud
boys to-day, who work from day to
day at the noisy looms in those
large factories getting no more pay
than the pauper of Europe. Then
why can't this grand Republic
compete with foreign nations
They have to pay transportation
on their goods to America, while
we manufacture them right at our
doors. We can produce the raw
material cheaper than they can,
tor we have more country and bet
ter facilities for doing so. Our

cost OF their articles, the high tar

Sigh takes us to task in the last
issue Of his Gut for discriminating
a falsehood uttered and published
by processing Christians in White
Oaks, as a lie, saying hat such an
expression Is ungentlemanly, and
unworthy the dignity which should
attach to the editor of a religious
paper. Were we to haYe charac-
terized anything that the Gut edi-
tor, or the editor of the Lincoln
Sewing Machine said, as a lie, the
rebuke would have been apropos,

members, and therefore amenuble

contemplating it. When they tell
talsehoods touching matters which
move society to it's depths, stories
" false as dicer's oaths," our sens
