the village, To be applied To the debt
that organization owes Mr.. Roberts at

village is in debt to Mr.. Roberts to the

A MESSAGE FROM LOTT.
Iron Rivers swindisr Is Heard From Al Last. Ia
His Regular Role.

iron klNrf , 0Wlualcf II EAttA ~ A<At@tt ~
His Regular Role.
The bad penny always turns up. No
body has ever been known TO question
the merit OF this time-worn adage,
and had such n question been
raised the case OF 4. Pluribus
Lott, the late swindler OF Iron River
would have banished all argument.
About two years ago, Lott, with "A
record that was unsayory TO the core.
disappeared from Iron River, with the
hounds Of the American Express com
pany. which corporation he attempted
10 swindle to the tune OF 1921, at his
heels. From that day up 10 two weeks
ago no word OF him had ever been re-
ceived by the people OF this section. He
slipped quietly away into n seclusion
that was so impenetrable, that many
believed that the country was actually
rid OF one OF the most thoroughly treach-
erous and dishonest beings that ever dis
graced its territory. At that time, hoW
ever, with n renewal OF the force oil the
bad penny" theory, IA message from
Lott was again waited 10 the upper
peninsula, by way OF the Bee Hive, an
organ OF the order Of the Maccabees.
The Maccabees. 80 far as Is known, was
the only secret organization so unior-
tunate as to have the name oil Lott
upon its role OF membership. True to his
antecedents, Lott did not identify him
SELF with this organization mainly for
the support OF the noble tenets OF the or
der and the incidental protection TO any
particular member OF his family. The
m~ercenary motive prevailed ms il did in
his every other undertaking, and when
he was suddenly thrown upon his re-
sources in the far west (the word comes
from Salt Lake city, he worked the
cording TO the Bee Hive, he has been
organizing tents OF the order in those
parts, representing that he came under
the authority OF the Grand Camp oi
Michigan and sailed under the alias OF
+. L. McKown. To say that he had no
authority in the premises, and that the
fees that he collected were appropriated
TO his own use. are unnecessary state
ments, for Lott is to well-known in
Michigan to secure any position OF trust
within its borders. He il simply up to
his old tricks, and by the most dispic.
able method OF swindling. To say nothing
OF his violation OF all the oaths that
appeal to the homer OF man, he has been
securing a living without work. Now
that the Maccabees have been thorough
ly posted as to the modus operandi OF
Lott, II IL difficult TO guess the course he
will next pursue. II is pretty safe TO
predict. however. that he will not soon
return to "work" his old-time territory
in Iron county and other portions OF the
upper peninsula, and Tor this the
people OF this section have reason TO
rejoice.

The Democracy of Illinois has
broken the ice. The people are
uniting in every section of the
country to strike for liberty and
recover their lost government. The
American people have been betray-
ed with a kiss for the last time.
The advocates of free coinage at the
ratio of Is to l by the United
States alone comprise three-fourths
of the voters of the United States.
The hearts of the people are in a
common cause, produced by a
common calamity.
The policy of the enemy to i'm
poverish the masses is now well
understood. 1t is well-known that
opportunities created independence
and manhood; that want of oppor-
tunities creates poverty and cow
ards. One more gold President
might do the work and destroy the
foundation of Republican institu-
tons, which is Independence and
prosperity of the people.
The gold standard, falling prices
and hard times are as much the
policy of Sherman, Harrison and
the great mass of the leading Re-
publican as it is of Cleveland him
self. The only difference is that
Cleveland proclaims openly what
the hypocrites do secretely.

authority and editors of great and

to demand even justice to all class
es, will persistently declare that
gold has not risen in purchasing
power as compared with property
and labor.
If gold, under these conditions.
has not risen, and is not now rising
in purchasing powers, as compared
with silver, property and labor,
then the natural law of supply and
demand is a myth, and is false. If
the last congress had acceeded to
the gold monometallists and retired
the Treasury and United States
legal tender notes, and required the
customs dues to be paid in gold
alone, the probabilities are that,
with the great and increased de-
mand for gold produced solely by
legislation, gold would have gone
to a premium over non-legal tender
money, because the gold mono
metallists, as soon as these condi-
tons were produced, would dis
criminate against non-legal tender
money by refusing to accept it in
payment of a debt, unless the con-
tract stipulated that it should be
accepted.-Pittsburg Post.
