History is repeating itself in the
house of Representatives. The cring-
ing way in which western members
of congress yield to the tariff and gold

days OF the northern dough-faces when

McKinleys and Cannons will not cut

When three men like the above can

A short time before his death, Abra-

a result of the war, corporations
have been enthroned, and an era OF
corruption in high places will follow,

working upon the prejudices OF the
people until wealth is aggregated in
a few hands and the Republic is des-

During the last week LIZ, 900 people

the country sailed from New York for
Europe. Meanwhile the men who

must work ten hours or more per day,
live on the barest necessaries of life

Nearly all the large cities in both
Europe and America are continually
boasting of the excellent schools they
have prepared for the poor. To me
this smacks of the veriest irony.
What is the alphabet to those who
have neither air nor hight, who live
in filth and stencil, and make the
streets their home? These cities will
just effect nothing. And if they sue
coed in teaching the multitudes to
read and write, leaving them in their
present condition, they will but pre-
pare one of the most tremendous OF
social revolutions. It is impossible
that the masses, when they compre-
bend their situation, shall remain
quiet.

Oar Hall was nominated by the
Third district Republicans for con-
gress, on Wednesday, at Glencoe.
The convention was as harmonious
as a frst-class funeral, and the will of
the bosses compelled it to swallow the
Mckinley tariff bill at one big gulp.
Some of the delegates were nearly
choked by the gulp but they were we'll
aware that they would be completely
SO by the bosses if they didn tswallow,

The daily paper credits Hall with
having made a speech OF acceptance,
but we don't know who wrote it for
him nor how the child of ignorance
happened to stumble through his talk,
but he did for a few minutes He also
defended the Mckinley tariff bill and
talked OF the protection it afforded
to wheat.
Oar Hall is remarkable for two quail
ities-nerve and ignorance; and it is
difficult to determine which is the
greater, but it is certainly q disgrace
for intelligent men to be represented
in congress bH manof his stamp.

Do our readers ever take serious
thought over the question that this
government is supporting 5000 Ma
tionaI banks by furnishing them with
money at one per cent per annum, and
loans them $50, 900, 900 of the peoples
money without interest. When these
banks loan this same money to the
people at an average OF IL per cent
month. Figuring this as fact, the
government gets from the banks
