ATKINSON SPEAKS.

Geo. w. Atkinson, Esq, served up
lot of Republican hash at the Central
Opera House Saturday night, which,
we presume, was digested by his
hearers. He spoke Of wages advanc-
ing. Now what does this benefit the
laboring man if the taxes he pays for
the necessaries of life increase al a
rate double the amount of increased
wages. The Force bill he said wasnot
in the Republican platform. He should
have said that it was not to be discuss
ed this fall by Republican orators, for
the equivocal manner in which they
have been treating it warrants us in
putting it that way. Every Democrat
knows that it will be sprung upon the
people at the first safe opportunity.
All Mr. Atkinson's statements would
be very important if they could be
backed by something more substantial
than his simple assertions.
