Thus it may be seen that LOCO brick, for
which the purchaser pays Sl0.25, are pro-
duced at the cost of a. IA, leaving the manu-

To conclude it seems there has been some
thing found in the city of Omaha, has also
been extensively advertised, and until such
time as Otherwise provided for is being
housed by the brick manufacturers here,
the consideration being that he exercises
meager faculties in trying TO obstruct the
progress of toiling citizens who are endeavor-
ing to ameliorate their condition IN a lawful
and commendable manner Whether he
would prefer TO poise under the austere cog
nOmen Of arbitrary Lord Collins, or cherish
those attributes of justice which should al
ways exist between man and man, can be
better judged by the spirit governing his con-
duct in dealing with our union.
He has made a futile attempt through the
press to convey the idea that their terms
were ours, by publishing a card %purporting
