WO are not given 10 looking upon the

forces Itself upon u.s." II means that you
should have submitted yourselves to the
powers that be. Don't kick. Try and
adjust yourself to your environment,
Don't be 80 foolish as TO think you could
better your condition by going into poll
tics. You old hayseeds don't know much
anyway. Has not Ex-Governor Anthony
told you that pair Of mules and an old
COW Is worth more TO an old hayaeed than
a Senator? / ana partly inclined to
agree with the ex-governor that such
property 10 more valuable than the irri-

Cerned. The idea ls, you have got your

It would ruin the credit Of the state

things generally. The most they did
was to legalize the blunders Of county
officers, and correct the blunders Of
former Legislatures.
III understand this movement among
the hayseeds and worklngmen; it Is an
effort to get the use Of their credit at q
lower rate than they have been paying
for IL heretofore, as the principal part Oi
the business Of the country Is done or

the hayseeds get the use of their
credit. One way is by raising horses
cattle, hogs, wheat, corn, oats and many
other things, and exchanging them fOl
greenbacks and national bank notes
When your products fail to bring casE
enough TO make both ends meet, theE
there is another method by which you

itate to use the most INSCRIPTIONS

saw that his vaulting ambition had DER
leapt itself, when the ardor of former
friends was cooling, and that he was
virtually an outcast from society and
an exile from the country he once hoped
to govern with the iron rule Of the die
tator, he waved his hand to fate and fell
dead over the grave of his mistress by
his own act.
He but follows BALMACEDA, and his
end should be a warning to others. He
aimed TO be q NapOleonic dictator,
and wound up as o suicide
over the freshly turned sods that
covered the remains of a shameless
woman. BoULANGER was brave SOL
der, the hero of many hot conflicts,
and bore many scars OF MS ordVeIy
but all these will be forgotten in the
ignomlny that attended the closing of a
career that might have been illustrious
and honored had patriotism held sway.

ment.

advocated a tariff as the best method of
raising the greater part of the federal

Kinley law averages. 60. The idiotic
