To the Editor:
How long, Oh Lord, how long, will the
people of these United States continue to
be ground into the dust by the tyranny of
money! Where is the spirit of '76? Is
money to deprive an honest, temperate in
dustrious man of the right to live? Are
his wife and babes to starve that a few
knaves and scalawags may fare sumptu-
ously from ill-gotten gains? Oh. We that
know not the respondent touch of want.

We have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it unto
me- Remember, 'The way of the trans
gressor is hard and the day of retrbu-

The enclosed letter I hope will be the
means of aiding to drive another nail in
the Twins Coffin and let each and every
true patriot in the land keep mailing away
until the funeral in '96. Then we are in
hopes to bury it so good and deep that it
will never be able to haunt us-or even our
children. Push the reform papers.

The following is the letter referred to.
1t is pathetic. And yet this is only one
instance of thousands in the world.
March 20, 1S95.-Mr. Chase and Family

Stevens county next week, but l know not
