Col. Jesse Harper, that grand old
advocate of the peoples rights, filed
his appointment in this city last Sat.
urday in very acceptable way and
showed up the trcacherous and dishon.
est way the financial legislation of this
country has been managed for the
past twenty years under the joint
control of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. He explained the
live issues Of the day in way that
anyone could see that all legislation
was managed in the interest of the
favored few. His presentations Of
facts were plain and many converts
to the true political doctrine were
made, while the faith of many
were strengthened, After all tina,
has been said Of the infamy and uu
business Of present financial laws
many were made aware of the true
condition of affairs for the first time
and now wonder how they could have
been SO blind and been led arount
by the nose. through the sharl
practice of political demagogues OF
the part Of the prejudice route.
