stop here and say: Il told you so,'' but
| listen to what follows: -Four years later
| in 1884 YOU will remember that Blaine
and Logan were the Republican nonli-
nees, and Cleveland and Hendricks the
| Democratic. This election was carried
| Just as easy for he Democrats as was the
election of 1880 by the Republicans. and
for the same reason. Wall street again
got their man. Was the Republican
party responsible for this.
| After the nominations are all made by
| both parties it takes these shvlocks but
short time TO determine which viii most
| fully obey their demands But they
proceed at once 10 demand millions of
dollars from each, because this amount
| Is absolutely necessary TO carry their
| doubtful state that elects or defeats
party at will. And niue times out of
| ten Wall street understands fully which
ticket is to be elected twenty days before
! the election.
Now. after the election is over and the
smoke of battle clears up, what do we
discover Wall street not only gets her
men, but she gets all the surplus money
of the country, from Maine To California
| and from the lakes TO the gulf, because
New York must be carried III order 10
insure the election of either ticket.
Again has this INSCRIPTIONS cOmblna-
ton played her favorate game. And
again is she fully prepared 70 rule US
both politically and financially for an
other four years. This doubtful state
will always remaid doubtful just so long
as other states will contribute money suf
ficient to satisfy the combination. They
not only make II doubt
full state, but keep it so pur-
poselv, because it is worth
millions to them 10 keep il SO.
The question is asked over and over
again, why it is that money Is so scarce
every presidential year: but when Won
stop and consider for moment the OPP
erations of Wall street, the answer Is APP
parent 10 all. In fact it is traceable
directly to Wall street from every other
state. And of course it requires months.
and sometimes years, to get this money
back again into the hands of the western
people.
You will now naturally ask. "What
remedy do you offer | answer. cut
loose from Wall street. Give her neither
candidate nor money, but give her
rest Nominate thoroughly western
men for president in 1891. who possess
both courage and ability, and familiar
with finaucia. and political affairs. for
among those you will find the most
courageous and practical statesmen of
the present day-men who are able and
willing to protect us from this giant
combination" of political infamy and
financial robbery that has reduced many
of our people to poverty and will keep
them there unless defeated by western
people. JOHN KELLY.

From the Philadelphia Call
No one has ever claimed that not
enough provisions were purchased by
the government for the Indians. The
trouble was not in purchasing or provid-

getting or failing to get food to the IN
dams. A the Call has more than once
pointed out, the present system is radi-
cally wrong.

American did not walk more than mile

American thought nothing Of starting
out for walk Of five miles. l cited
with good deal of pride the habitual
practice of Julian Hawthorne of taking
a mere stroll of twenty or thirty miles
whonever he has few moments to de-
vote to exercise. spoke, too, Of your
townsnan, Mr. Slason Thompson, editor
of The America, who is in the habit of
walking ten miles day and running fif
teen or twenty more.
