The Farmers Leader

EDITOR LEADER:-What OF the political
night breoding over the land? Is the terrible
suspense and silent Indignation that pervades
the minds Of the people Of our country ominous
Of coming sterr7 Is the great ship Of state
now stranded and trembling upon the wreckers
reef, driven there by depraved politicians and
prsstituted legislators whose love for English
gold has prompted them to bstray our people
into the hands OF the money power OF England:
Can this terrible suspense on the part OF patri-
OTIS and the passengers upon this once glorious
ship of liberty to be wrecked and doomed by
treacherous legislative combine: Has 1t not
ceased to be a virtue on the part Of the lovers
and would be defenders of our country to longer
submit to merciless blood sucking Jews OF an
other country whose mercenary and prostituted
American Agents In and out Of the halls Of Con-
gress has brought this country to its present
condition: Is Coxey's army of the we'll whose
grievances have become unbearable to be
sneared and jeered because they desire to ap-
pear in person before their oppressors and ask
redress of their grievances: Have we not
borne and tolerated Bankers, Whiskey, Rail-
road and almost inumerable kindred iflegiti-
mate LOBBY ringsters rule until our Government
has become powderpost with rot from the
center (Washingtoa), whose putrid examples
ore initiated to the very circumference Of our
Republic? We oil well know that our forbear
ance and toleration Of these political vampires
and national blood sucking lobbiests ever en-
couraged by weak pusilanimous set OF pur-
chasable legislators that has brought about
this condition and made it possible for that
mournful army OF the we'll, John Brown like to
be marching towards the house OF their oppres-
sors. May God forbid that they meet receipt
ion like his but If history is to repeat itself
of old and as it has in this coming crisis up to
the present hour, such may be their fate. But
let the millions Of hopeless destitute and dis
couraged of which this army of the we'll now
on the march are but the vangard and repre-
sentatives and forever let us pray that they
may be successful and the power Of God or
good from above and around may be so over
whelming that the obstructionists for good and
especially the vampires three-the DEVILS trim
ity-Cleveland, Sherman and Carlisle, may
like NebuchadnaZzar OF old be driven out Of
the citadel of our hopes and made to eat grass
as oxen until reincarnated seven times or until
they may know there is God in 1sreal that
ruleth in the kingdom OF men. 1t was thought
at one time that the verltable Daniel dwelt
with them and would interpret for them and
save them from terrible fate that they might
not be turned down and dispsed and made as
of old to eat grass. But know thou, once a trai-
tor always traitor. Slippery Dan was wrought
upon by English gold devoid of love for his
country. All hopes OF him were blasted, and
like many OF his elk has passed from real duty
to his country and constituency to serve the
Devil and John Bull; And alas must confess
I am in the last hours OF my hopes watching
with great anxiety the marching OF the army
OF the commonweal. Asking myself If it may
not be possible that Johns spirit and the spirits
Of our patriot fathers may be marching with
them For know If ever inhumanity to man
could inspire contempt in the spirits OF the
departed and it could be made possible for them
to take part in the rea6justment of our bleed
ing country's liberties, now is the accepted
time, for never in the history of any country
was there set of robbers so devoid Of commits
GRAFTON. so devoted to the gold calf, so deaf to
the cries of the poor destitute and needy, SO
prone to serve the Devil, so determined to be-
tray us into the hands Of the English Govern
meat and 50 unamerican in all OF their move
ments and in fact so bereft Of all patriotism
they to materiaize on earth, would not recog-
nize our present rulers to be representative Of
Republican principles, State or Nation. For
bereft of all homer, all shame, nothing left but
frantic rush for the spoils and Doodle OF Office
In conclusion have only to say that it is only
for the want Of further knowledge Of the eng
lish language that am not able to do the sub
ject justice, and humtly submit to those that
can. F. A. LEAvITT.
