TEMPERANCE.
DRINKING A MATTER OF FASHION.

1t is hardly too much to say Of drinking
that it is principally a matter OF fashion;
Among the upper classes the fashion OF
drinking has passed, or is passing away.
Among the middle classes it is accepted
rather as a social necessity than as de-
sira bic personal indulgence. Men meet and
adjourn for drink, to which one must treat
the other, but which both would as soon, or
perhaps rather, be without Drinking to
excess is no pleasure TO any one. Among
the poor men drink on and on from a per-
verted pride. The whole thing is SO baseiess
that it is conceivable it mignt very
rapidly come to an end. - Sacramento

but three left.
With the three regiments were left bat

left for home. They marched down the hill

O we'll smash that tariff ap that has m ade the

hay.
We are coming coming, coming, and Wen make
them take it back,
And heed what the toiler has to say.
One old party says protection is what all the
The other says low tariff is the thing:
But they never care iiffy if you go without
And justice to the poor they'll never bring.
CHORUs:-
We have fair example how protection

Ry the Homestead and Carnegie affair.
While it kept ten thousand toilers working hard
for little pay;
1t made Carnegie ten times millionaire
CHORUS

the people SO;
Piling up high tariff on their head.
Blu, they We treated us no better so they hadn't

But go and hide beneath their tariff bed.

KEYSTONE, Mimi, Aug 80, 1902
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
l take the liberty to send you a
copy of a great truth we'll illustrat.
ed in Brick Pomeroy's Advanced
Thoughts. Here it is:
"The patriot of Battle Creek, Mich,
if indeed a patriot as it considers
country above party and therefore is
one OF the useful helpers in the great
and growing work Of organizing and
augmenting the numerical and edu-
cational strength of the party of the
people. 1t very properly speaks of
the old parties as twins. Correct. 1t
is twins they are. When one of them
dirties one side OF the bed SO it can
not longer remain there in comfort,
it takes the other side of the bed and
the other twin gets in the spot the
other vacated and bowls at the dirty
work OF it's brother.
"A nice pair of twins they are, if a
man don't care what he says. As
they wallow in each others filth it
will be like cleaning house to bury
both of them in the same grave. and
the sooner they are buried the sooner
will the air be purified.
