the blame Of every disaster ON the
Democratic administration, ought to
take into consideration the fact that
very few people in these advanced
times take everything for granted that
they read in the Republican news

The depression in the wool market
is no greater than that in the wheat
market. What dealers are sand 10 an
,icipate about "frce wool does not
operate as to low wheat. There must
be causes at work that do not spring
from the question about the tariff. and

they can point TO and imagine with
the changes in policy that have not

thinking people AS so much deception

diatribes should keep always in mind

But we do say that they cannot be
traced To any changes from Republican
legislation, because none have yet been
made. And everybody ought TO see
through the thin subterfuges adopted
by the papers that tell dreadful stories
Of disaster, present and To come, and
