THE Sunday Capital has it's usual
quota of rot, and promises more to
follow. It undertakes to show the
genuineness Of the forged circular by
the similarity Of the type with that Of
the Economist. This is the Aimsiest
kind Of a subterfuge, as though the
National Economist had the only
type of that kind ever manufactured.
It is useless to waste words on this
question. The single fact that Presi-
dent Polk never sends out a circular
without his official seal is sufficient
answer TO all these silly pretenses.
This is a preCautiOn always taken to
guard against just this kind Of for
geries. The Capitol may squirm as
much as it plesses; the republican
managers are fairly caught and they
cannot escape. Perjury will follow
forgery, and dynamite will close the
scene If found necessary.

THERE seems TO be a general impression that
Senator Plumb voted against the Mckinley bill
on final passage. This is mistake Senator
Plumb made his fight on certain Items OF the
bill, was defeated and opposed the conference
reports but when II came TO m Issue between
the new bill and the old law, he voted for the
BILL Capital, October sth.
The above shows either the stu
pidity of the Capital or its purpose
to deceive the people. We would
call the attention Of Major Hudson to
page 117O7 of the Congressional Re
cord Of date October LIST, where Mr..
Plumb's name stands recorded among
the nays on the final passage of the
bill. We take this as pretty fair
authority--fully equal to that of the
Capital.

and win be OF no value, whatever.
It cannot be from the method by
which il is taken. The Lyon County
Alliance some time ago appointed a
committee to ascertain the indebted
ness Of chat county from the county
records, and the report Of that COM
mittee is here appended. We would
earnestly recommend that every
county alliance in the state do the
same thing chat the Lyon County AL
lance has done, only we would adj
Wise that they 90 step further, and
ascertain the following facts in addi-
tion;
First. How many farms have
been sold on foreclosure suits.
Second How many village or city
homes have been sold in like manner.
Third. How many farms have
been surrendered by mortgagors
without foreclosure suits, and how
many Of the releases upon the records
result from sales and surrenders to
mortgagees.
Fourth. How many village or
city homes have been sold or surren-
dered in like manner
Fifth, How many foreclosure
suits are now pending
We earnestly hope that these facts
may be ascertained by committees
appointed by every county alliance
whore an organization exists. Inas-
much as there is 80 much dispute
concerning this mortgage question, it
becomes ono Of very great Importance.
We affirm that American lands are
being rapidly absorbed by capitalists
and syndiCates, and that this system
is rapidly undermining American in
situations. The republican party de-
sires this and insists upon the in
creasing prosperity of our farmers

can republic is in danger. II iii is
NOT true, we desire TO know it, and il
is certainly Of the greatest Importance
to every citizen that Che facts shall be
ascertained With our present per

with very little expense by general
adoption of the plan pursued by the
alliance Of Lyon county. We.recom-
mend that this be done as soon as
possible, and that Lyon county OBJ
