Tennessee Toiler: Must the great
agricultural interests of this country
continue to suffer that few worth
less. short-selling grain gamblers
may bet on prices and grow rich
without giving an equivalent? Not
if farmers do their duty.
~
Journal of Agriculture: How many
farmers have been again misled by
the siren voice of the willy politician
and again assisted in riveting the
chains still tighter? A man has to
think and investigate for himself
He can't depend on a politician.

Topeka Advocate and Tribune:
Chairman Simpson. in his address to
the republicans Of Kansas says:
The battle is over and in our de.
feat we have won great victory"
1t is to be hoped the good Lord will
grant the Republican party many
more victories of the same kind.
New York Herald: The Japanese
government contemplates the con-
struction of six lines of railway and
the purchase of all existing roads-a
safe and wise proceeding in any coun-
try which selects its officials from its
best citizens but a risky experiment
In a bad land where every ward heel
er has a bigger pull than a hundred
taxpayers.
Southern Alliance Farmer: The
Republican party claims the credit of
freeing a. 1000. 600 slaves. To-day
there are 3, 900. 900 tramps-with no.
where to lay their heads. and but
mighty little to eat. They want work
but they can't get it. Then there are
millions more who might as WELL or
better be chattel slaves than the
miserable. hopeless starving serfs
The National View: The false po-
sition in which our government is
placed by buying silver instead of
coming it for all corners is seen by
Mr. Sherman. yet he proposes no
remedy. Were the public press open
to this grave question. which has en-
So
there would be no believers in the
sophistries SO freely used to conceal
the true import of the silver question.

Philadelphia Times: Charles j.
harrah. a large manufacturer OF
steel told the inside history of the
Mckinley act when he wrote over his
own signature for publication: This
tariff belongs to us; we bought it; we
paid for it. and it is ours. We did
not put up our money to increase the
price Of labor. to increase wages. and
therefore we have not done it; we put
up the money to buy the legislation
we wanted. and we got it; we bought
it and paid for it. and that is the
WuOlo story.
= Chicago Sentinel: There should be
no talk of hard tines in a country
so blessed with natural advantages as
is this, and there would be none if
the people would set their think
tanks to running and gouge the
shoddy out of their eyes. The people
fa
will unmake hundreds of the laws
now disgracing our statute books and
which were passed by monopoly tools
for the benefit of corporate monopo-
lies. The great American republic is
in the hands of traitors; the great
plain people must wrest it from the
spoilsmen and make it in fact as it is
in name government OF, for and by
the people.
Chicago Express: Inside of our
republic there is a national bank
monarchy also an associated press.
dude pulpit and the money changers
each within the other. This secures
an endless supply of new notes and
mortgages for the money changers.
new clothes for the dudes new crimes
for the newspapers. and new support
for said monarchy. The monarch, bv
imitation and contraction. changes al
will and controls the prices of all
labor and the prices OF all its pro
ducts. He can change mortgages
into deeds. and change the value Of
all mortgages after they are recorded.
Hellwards the nation without hope o.
harp or fear of blame.

Journal Of the knights of Labor
A Manitoba court has decided that
bank notes are not current money
of Canada" The Canadian election
law provides that candidates must
make deposit and that the deposit
must be in current money" A can
didate offered bank notes in making
his deposit and. the case coming be
fore the court it is decided that he
did not tender deposit in .curren
money" The decision may be goo6
law. but in view of the fact that bank
notes are legally issued and common
ly used as money, it would seem t
show as many have contended. tina
good law and arrant nonsense are not
necessarily antagonistic terms.
