The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1892-10-29


and he tries to sing but the only song
that comes to mind Is "How tegious
and tasteless the hour"
The Peoples party tells us that the
currancy is contracted that silver is
demonet,zed; that the gold-bugs are
favored in some mysterious manner,
that the National banks are borrowing
money Of the government at one per
cent. and that the bonds were created
|purposely to rob the people. but Sec
retary Foster says that We have in
creased the per capita of money from
$13.85 to $24.7O; that we are using
more silver money than ever before;
that the government is not loaning
money to the banks at any price; that
the gold-bugs are not receiving more
consideration than others; that gold
money is as cheap as any other form
of our money, and he denies every
charge brought by the Peoples party
ties. We would like to know there
fore some of the antecedents of those
who are making these charges.
Loucks is one of them, but he beat the
farmers OUT of $4,000 in an Elevator
scheme. Wardall, and Cooley and
some twenty others say the same, but
they swlndled the farmers through the
Hail and Fire insurance deal by more
than 100000. Crosse ct. al. says the
same, but it is now known that for
several years they have been standing
in with the greatest twine trust in ex-
istence. Donnelly says the same, but
he sued the Pioneer Press for $780,
900 worth Of slander and received
judgment of only 81. Sweetland, for
merly of Sully county, who inside of
eight or nine years has been an ardent
member of the Republican party,
Democratic party, Prohibition party,
and is now an Independent, makes the
same charges for an Office only. Wal
ter Price, who is so years in advance
of those whose suffrage he soliclts and
who made affidavit to two state
ments against the same person, one
slander the other an exoneration and
who, as agent of the Alliance Hail as
sociation, advertised that no insurance
of 1891 would be used to cancel obli-
cations of 1890, and who did the exact
thing he promised not to do, and who
though young man has been a mem
Der OF the Republican party, the Pro-
hibition party, and is now an Inde-
pendent, IS making these same charges
for office only. Everts, Martin, Jor
dan, Lang, all stalwarts till after the
Republican County convention of 1890
which sat down ON them when immedl-
ately the scales fell from their eyes their
hind sight became extended the ashes
from the conhagration of greenbacks
were plainly outlined and they became
enthusiastic contraction spouters.
Simmons a stalwartsnifed the smoul-
dering ashes OF the contraction night
mare only four days previous to his
appointment. Almost without ex.
ception such are the men who are
challenging the veracity of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and his reports,
but Secretary Foster has received the
highest honor his State could confer
and without regard to party still re.
tains their esteem, and his reports will
be received as correct, these men to the
contrary Notwithstanding, and the
bonds and National banks and green
backs were created by Lincoln, Chase,
Stanton, Stevens, Sherman, and host
of patriots whose illustrations states
manship is not excelled, and the mot
ley crowd of calamityites have not
character enough to successfully dis
pnte or lnjure them.
