Dead Lime" Oh, how true it is whether
it be fiction or not. And generally
like the get up Of the ADVOCATE. It is
one OF the best pspers in the United
States. The beauty about it is that it
is reliable, and aims to tell the truth, I
have been reader Of it ever since it
started, and how l wish it was in the
hands OF every Populist and uneducated
demo-republican. But alas! I find that
good many Populists do not take any
reform paper at all; but great many Of
them take that cheap and nasty Kansas
City Star, as it can be had for 25 cents
west Of the Mississippi, but east for so
cents. That is enough for me. That
shows its monopoly. subsidized d-cloven

and the Declaration of Independence,

Of Sodom and Gomorrsh- Washington.
Our fathers rebslled against King
George, but now he is represented by
King Cleveland, Carlisle and John Sher-
man. Shame, oh, shame, on such

from all over the countryY We would
better lose one years crop and spend a
year to get some legislation, if it can be
done. And it can be done. A million of
men should 60 there, stay there all sum-

according to one gold-bug's statement, at
the present price of bullion; and if it
was coined into our money it would be
worth 600 million dollars, and under the
present system adopted by Grover, it will
be robbing the people Of 305 million
