Prosper.
Findlay CO., Courier.
The farmers, labOring men and mechanics of
this country have not been able to accumulate
any great amount of wealth during the past
twenty five years. Nor is it any wonder when
it is considered that they have been forced to
pay tax OF forty-seven per cent on nearly
everything which they purchased, while not in
any way being benefited. Those who are tired
OF paying this enormous tribute will vote the
Democratic ticket this Fall.

The Nashville american makes the inter-

never bite red-headed girls. 1t says the reason

The inconsistency of the Republicans is om-

Mr. Blaine says that trusts are largely pri-
vate affairs" and his friend Mr.. Carnegie, says
" the public may regard them with serene con-
fidence." But a Democratic Attorney-General
in New York, backed by Democratic organi
zation. is moving against the sugar trust on the
ground that 1t is illegal, a monopoly and
criminal conspiracy" We rather think this is
the peoples view.-Neo York World.
