A. c. Memoirs elegant residence on
Center street, is nearing completion.
The 81 Alliance voters of Plum
township out of 102, can be seen on
the streets shaking hands with an I'M
usual hearty grip and radiant smile
on their countenance, while the re-
naming 15 democrats and republi-
cans, can be seen looking down the
shady side of their nose, and have
been heard to make the remark that
the only objection they have to some of
the successful candidats is, they are
turn-coats, for the purpose of obtain
ing Office. We are informed by the
scripture that wise men change often
but fools never: and that wise men
forseeth an evil and turneth aside, but
the foolish goeth on and are punish
ed We are too apt to impeach mems
motivesi we might with as much pro-
priety say that we know of men stick
ing to the old parties with the hope
that some day they may be promoted
to some fat office. AS there was no
real political issue before the people
this fall, lots of good honest Alliance
men dId not go TO the polls at all; but
even us it is we can consider it grand
victory that the Peoples Party could
even carry any of the counties against
the combined forces of both the old
parties And we think it but short
time before the Peoples Party will be
able to defeat the combined forces of
both the old parties throughout the
n
as heard from two old soldiers: Sol
der No. IL think all of the old
soldiers Will now stick to the old par
ty." Soldier No. 2:-'I for one do
not propose to sell my vote IN that
way; I was entitled to pension long
before received it, and should of had
it when the republican party had no
Indications of downfall, and do not
! propose to compromise at so late an
hour What 1 want is the currency
that I was paid in when left the ser
vice, made worth as much as that of
the bond holder" But the latest ar
gument we have heard produced by
republican, was that on account of
his being a good republican he could
get loan from the loan companies
for 2 per cent. per annum cheaper
than his neighbor Alliance men. If
such be the case, God help our nation
that we boast of being the home of
the brave and the land of the free, if
we have to vote the republican ticket
IN order to get cheap rates of interest.
| What we want is money direct from
the government, based upon what we
are actually worth and have in our
possession, and not upon what we
owe, and have to come to the people
in round about way, in order that
privileged few can make 'spec." out
of it before we get it. We don't want
the best, but an equal chance with
the rest. We don't want to see the
volume of money so scarce that we
have to sell all the stock that we have
on the farm in order to pay our taxes.
| We don't want to be compelled to sell
our farm that has cost us $1,000 in or
der to raise $500, because no one has
any money to buy. And above all
we do hate to see the one horse banks
so hard up that they can't get money
enough to Accommodate their republi-
can friends at 2 per cent. per month.
We would like to see the money keep
up with the business, and not have to
cut the business down to suit the
money. Ali democrats were not rebels
but all rebels were democrats like
wise. All republicans are not money
sharks but all usurers are republicans
and democrats. HAYsEED.
