but out that other class, that
neither spins nor tolls, but sim p
- clips coupons, and would have.
to pay the farmer q fail, living
price for his oduct. A su-.
preme regard for the coupon:
clipper, is undoubtedly the main
reason why Mr.. Eddy is i Of: the
opinion that a measure that would
enhance the price of the product
Of soil and labor is mot worth a
consideration by think!
ing men, for only thinking men
are found in the Republican par
ty of counsel! He says, one of the
causes of the hard times is the
demonstration of silver: But of
course the Republican party, and
that only;9 will restore silver, if
once again put into power. In
his enthusiasm for his idol, he
seems to forget entirely that it is
the Republican party that has
demonetized silver, and conse-
quently brought on these hard
times according to his own state
ment. But such a contradiction
inside of two minutes is nothing
to Mr.. Eddy. His whole speech
is one vast contradiction from
beginning to end so far as argu-
ment is concerned. If ever a
man lived on earth that had
wheels in his head. that man is
Congressman Eddy Of the Sew
enth district of Minnesota.
THERE'S however one subject
on which Mr.. Eddy is sound to
the core, il from a Republican
standpoint of course, and that is
on his estimate of the worth OF
political parties. He can make
any statement however false and
s]anderous regarding his political
opponents with the greatest sang
froid imaginable. We learned
that last fall when we first heard
him in New London, where he
stated that the Peoples Party
had ruined and demoralized ev-
cry county and state it had been
in control of. He denied in
letter to us that he had uttered
such language. He had of course
forgotten it, But now we have
in cold type before us words tc
that effect both as regard the
Democratic and Peoples Parties.
Mr.. Eddyis evidently a Ft,lstaffian
warrior of no mean proportions,
He is something like the ante
bellum Colonel down South, you
know, who could wipe ten. blue
bellied yankee colonies with &
wave of.his hand, and a ;. breath
from his fiery throat. He is Of
course an ideal republican poll
tician, who for want of argument
to meet his opponents has to re
ly on buster and abuse. The
Republicans Of the seventh dis
trict have indeed made a fine Sc
lection to fight for them. Mr.
Eddy will play La Mancha fol
them to keep the attention of thu
multitude of their followers les
they remember their mortgage6
homes, freezing children, ant
overworked wives,- and per
chance turn from the G.. 0. P.
who is wasting it's energy il
caring for the world, while it:
own poor dupes are suffering fo]
the necessaries of life.
The sum and substance Of Mr.
Eddy's reasoning on the silve:
question is this: The hard time!
are in measure due to demoneti
cation of silver. Silver ought t
be remonetized. The way to d.
that is to put the Republican par
ty fully into power next summer
The party will then get down OF
it's knees to European. Royalties
and ask them to talk. about re
monetizing silver for the relief o
the American farmer Mr.. Ed
dy practically admits, as he vel
knows if he knows anything, tina
''talk" is all any internationa
monetary conference ever Cal
