man who puts watere in the milk,
sand in the sugar and stones in the
coffee is saint beside the fellow who
cheats the editor by borrowing his
newspaper and then swearing there
is no news in it worth reading.
The Kosciusko Star tells the
whole story in one short paragraph:

The unanimity OF the republican

The subtreasury schemes seem to
have variety of opinions as to the
advantages offered by the bill that
s now being discussed. and some of
them are taking advantage of this
difference TO mako the ignorant a.
mong their following believe many
absurd things IN reference to it. The

bill will enable farmers to borrow
money not only upon their mules
and horses, at one per cent annum.
Ifsuch were the case II would only
show the measure to be all the more
unjust and impracticable. The ad-
vocatcs OF the scheme must be pret-
