THREATENS TO JOIN THE ALLIANCE
AND STOP HIS EAGLE.


To the Editor Of the Wichita Eagle. Kansas.
Sally Streator an me, that's my wife,
wer Jest thinkin' maby we wonld quit
takin' your paper until times picked up a
little, an Sally sed how l should rite a
letter fust and maby you would tax it
more kinder like, an seq, Sally, char
ity ought ter commence at home SIGH times
as these, an faint no use in wastin' paper
jest for e'equet. An she SEE, yes, l
know that, but thar is plenty of paper
an you amt got nothin' ter do while l
milk the COW an feed the pigs, bat rite
an tell him about the hard times we are
hevin' an about John Jemes Ingalls, an
Lyman L. Humphry an Mr.. Plumb an
Prince Hal an Gerry Simpson an the
Alliance an them what's gone up to To
peker to make korn an hogs an calves
an cows an steers an SIGH things
as we sometimes have to sell higher, an
if they can't do it. to tell who is the best
man to send up there to tell EN- about it;
an have it done. An jest ak him why
Jemes Ingalls, didn't AK congress an Ben
Harrison an Grover Cleveland an his
congress-; an Mr.. Garfield, fore he got
killed by that assassin; an Hase an
Wheeler an Their fellers; an all the rest
of them what have been thar while he
wur thar: to send us some cheaper things
SIGH as iron, wool, close an hats. You
no Jemes Streater, we he'd ter by four
wool hats last fall at $1.2j apiece, which
makes $500; besides yOurn what cost
night $500. an thar amt a pound of
wool in all of 'em An you know we
hev got ter by a cultivarer an tibet
comes of not havin' any cheap bords to
cover up the old one; but Jemes did try
ter git us some cheap lumber; but then
the new one are goin' to come higher,
fur the Mckinley bill what he voted fur
has passed.
Then we hev got to hev new brakin
plow fore we can do any plOwin, an |
ses maby that late brakin what we did
last fall will do to plant taters an gardin
truck. An she ses, no, late fall brakin
wont do any better for us than late fall
legislatin on the Mckinly bill done for
our folk, an if it wer not fur that
Jemes Ingalls, ne ent to made that big
silver speech agin Mr.. Sherman, an Mr..
Plumb wouldn't hev to be votin with
Democrat measures an SIGH like No
jim you kin Jest tel Mr.. Murdoch to tel
James Ingalls, fur me, that we out here
in Kansas have got to hev more for our
truck or they hev got to take less for
thern. An all that in your paper on
raisin silk worms an cocoOns; an sellin
silk to ourselves; an diggin ponds to
make it rain more, are mighty purity
IL
worms from catapillers an faint
no use ter raise korn fur 15c
a bu an pay $1.25 fur wool hats.
An tel if he wants lis to take his paper
after times picks up some to put in some
about wimmin sufferin: for she for one
are willin to suffer anything if she
could Jest g1t to vote an send some
wimmin to congress what could make
things cheaper for you poor men with
big families. Then l got mad an sed if
she wur gOin ter rite this letter Just give
me the pail an. | would do the milkin
an feedin an She went off latin like,
but it does pear like Sally ought to have
as good a right as a niger an l believe
in forgivin her for putin in that last
Now | war raised in Indiana an ALWAYS
believed in freein' the Niggers an hivin'
free skools: an subugation the south:
an reconstructin' her: an votin' the Re-
publican ticket: an dom things TO my
notion hut it does pear like times are
aufful some how: an Their gittin' harder
an harder, | sent to your
town last Christmas au' got
a gal OF auful truck. An
they charged $3.50 fur it an sed it
wur cheap. l knOwed it wur high, an
l come in tother day an they did tel me
could not get any at all. This wur
still higher. An they did say it wur all
on account Of Gov. Humphry bein' mad.
Now | don't often swear, but daSt if
like TO be governed any SIGH a way:
that makes me think about what he put
in his message tother day to the bows
about the people b. in in favor of pro-
hibition. Dast if / thought lyman
would have sed that after goin' all over
the country speech maxim an shakin'
hans like at a camp meetin' an only
gettin' 1000 majority out of 50. 600.
Fur as | am concerned believe it would
be cheaper all round 10 make some
whisky here in kas. Gee Wilkins.
Jest think how much bu of korn comes
to: four gal & a half of good sour mash
at Acc. then the gov. 90c gal TO paw con-
gress an SIGH like; $4.05c more, an YOU
got slop left to fatten hogs and cattle
with.
tel We Marsh Murdoch their has got
TO be somethin did an you fellers what
rites the news papers noes what it should
be. an if YOU don't tel me an Sally Strea-
tor are goin 20 ak some one what will.
and then we are goin to see that its did.
If we hev TO jine the Alliance. Kas are
all right if she are governed right, but
dast if am goin 10 be governed always
like was tother day: if all the Cows in
creation gifts mad hear Sally commin
an she might want me 10 pat In sumthin
else that wouldent sound right: so / viii
close Nv Sayin YOU can send Us your pa
per while longer if you think times are
goin 10 pick up soon. yours affection
ately, JAMES STREAToR an
SALLY STREATOR.
