The Harrisburg Patriot says:
Whitelaw Reid upon a platform OF
protection is a spectacle that will no
doubt shake Cleopatra's needle to
pieces with mirth. Americans are a
humorous people proverbially able
and willing to enjoy a'joke but the
funniest thing that a humorous per-
son ever did was to place Reid upon
such platform.
Carthage Record: The people of
this county were not brought up in
the woods to be scared by an owl.
The idea of going into the Third
party does not brighten them one bit
none. except the towards who are
useless in an army where fighting is
to be done 1t is surrender in ad-
vance for any Alliance man to say
that he will not stick to his principles
no matter where it carries him.

Chicago Sentinel: 1t takes just as
much labor on the part of the indi-
vidual to procure a fiat dollar as it
does one hundred copper cents or
twenty 'nickles, )" or 4l29 grains of
standard silver or 20. 8 grains of gold.
10 fine and either will pay just as
much debt as the other if the govern
ment declares them all full legal
tender-and OF the whole batch the
paper dollar is the most convenient

Topeka Advocate and Tribune: II
sever field of waving grain makes Re-
publican votes. as the distinguished
hummer from the Fifth district says
it must be that the number Of Repub-
lican votes increases as the price of
grain goes down. Perhaps he means
that every field of grain makes just
that much more money for the rail
roads so they can afford to buy votes
in Tennessee and ship them into the
state.
Chicago Express: There is not a
workingman anywhere on Gods green
earth but who produces more than he
consumes. What he produces is by
rights, his. and he ought to be allowed
TO ENJOY it. Carnegie. for instance,
'makes" larger profit off the labor
OF his wOrkingmen than the men
themselves over and above bare
existence. 1t isn't right. 1t ought
to be changed. and will be changed
if the people but vote right

Santa Ana Sentinel: Mr.. PETER
shows from the report of the currency
that between the years 1882 and 1890
1871. 600, 900 of the circulating
medium was withdrawn, and adds:
1T is within reason to believe that if
this amount had been put out and
kept out among the people as the law
provided the lawmakers intended and
expected and the business needs of
the.country required there would be
but little Indebtedness among people.
Chicago Sentinel: The future of
wage labor is seen in the recent his
tory of some wage slaves in an Amer
lean factory. One stayed away to
bury his mother and another to bury
his wife, They were told when they
returned that they were not needed;
while third who had the misfortune
of losing a child, and was absent that
day was allowed to keep his place
only after the cruel remark that he
could return to work provided he had
no more children likely to die

Journal of the Knights of Labor:
'When it comes to choosing be tween
two shades that are nearly alike, a
woman can be trusted to make wise
selection. Kate Field supports Cleve-
land" But when it ONES to mistaken @
these two scarcely differing shades for
totally different colors without being
able to tell what different color either
of them is, and then making a fools
choice between them. the free inde-
pendent and Intelligent men voters
are the ones to be depended upon.

Alliance He aid says and might
add that it would possibly be a lead
ing and not inappropriate question to
ask Democrats and Republicans alike
who voted against free coinage
which country they considered them
selves representatives of. the United
States or England? They have done
the latter's work consistently: Since
congress killed the silver bill the
price of silver bullion has fallen to
GU cents per ounce. That means
that England can give India 325 per
cent advantage over the American
wheat and cotton grower Two and
one half per cent on the cotton and
wheat consumed by England will
more than repay her the amount oil
money expended to kill the silver bill.
Thus it is that the producers are
taxed to pay for the damage inflicted
upon their interests by recalcitrant
public servants.
Peoples Press: Uf every new
party it is said 1T. win soon be as
bad as the old parties" This cannot
