ries in the old field.
We look on this tumult with some
anxiety. The forces on either side are
impelled by varied motives. Some for
Office, some for promotion, some for
ambition and fame, and some for gold
and Doodle. Plutocracy will bring her
powder cans and the whole land will
smell of birthstone. Mammon will ap-
pear upon the scene dressed as an angel
of light. 1t will be a great exhibition
of the powers Of darkness coping with
the light of truth and justice Chris
tians will come out of the temple and
support thieves aud liars for Office
Temperance men will leave their halls
and vote for drunkards and gluttons
Farmers will leave starving or ragged
families and vote for an attorney of the
money king. The Christian editor paid
for lying, will keep on lying. The vote
sellers and buyers will ply their nefari-

study how to- cheat freemen Of their
votes. Thus we have it under the reign
of plutocracy in the year of cur Lord,

and sets up golden calf in the midst
of the plain A proclamation is trum
petted long and loud. Whosoever
falleth not down and worship the image
set up shall have no part in this ad
ministration for three years to come.
Whereunto many worshippers of the
silver goddess forsook their goddess
and bowed the knee to the golden image.
Many more who formerly were for
equal rights, truth and justice, did
| likewise.
Then plutocracy, seeing that the
children Of men were prone to idolatry,
sendeth another messenger forth and
sayeth, go ye into every nook and cor
ner of the State, and take with you a
long trumpet and blow it loud and long.
The two branches of the political
church yclept Republican and Demo
crat are lawful, and whosoever joineth
not said congregations is hereto and
a sinner, and the wrath of man abldeth
with him.
After Mammon had set up his golden
image, and plutocracy had proclaimed
her law, many yet remained of stub
born heart who did not bow the knee.
Then plutocracy was vexed with a
great vexation. They sent for one Sim
mons, a great man among them, who
knew how to cipher and count and
could show wonders-noW you see 1t,
