After Tory Preachers.

The Monitor Register says: 1.-THE
PENIS Grove RECORD, whose editor
continues to have blood In his eye, says
that j. Ford Thompson, Of Upper
Neck, accepted the Democratic nom
inatiOn for Assembly at the solicitation
of the silver Republicans of the county.
If Mr.. Thompson is depending on these
for his election he is likely 10 be disap.
pointed. There are not enoughof them
There is enough of them and we be-
lieve they will beat the bankers, Brit.
ish gold, and all the Tory preachers.
Yes, we have blood in our eye and q
little Patrick Henry Irish American
blood in our veins and this is the rea-
son we are on the hot trail of English
Tories who like to part their hair and
whiskers in the middle, wear swallow
tail coats, drive bob tail nags and ape
the airs of British snobs and dudes.
Over 1870 years ago Pennsylvania is
sued 50, 000, 900 of irredsemable paper
money to her colonists and that is what
made her 80 prosperous and happy.
The British Parliament saw the pros
perity and at the point Of the bayonet
prohibited Its use and caused poverty,
distress and ruin. That had more to
do with the Revolutionary war than
the tea tax. When the British came
they burned the house Of our great,
great grand father In Upper Penn's
Neck from over his head and left him
homeless. He must have been q loyal
American and not a Tory or they
would not have done it.
At that time John Wesley and his
ministers were praying for the divine
right Of King George III TO do those
things, and his follower, the one-eyed
bull headed British soldier Capt. John
Webb came over to pray for Methodism
and shoot our ancestors down, burn
their houses and prohibit them from
making their own money. So yon see
it is no new thing for Methodist or 9TH
er preachers TO DE on the side Of op.
preston, monopoly, usurpation. tyran-
ny and against fresdom.
They propose now with the British
gold standard TO rob us Of the land our
forefathers left US and preachers are
pleading for the divine right of the
bankers, bond holders, trusts and gold
gamblers to do it. That Is the reason
there is blood in u eye against the
Pharisaical cry Of national honor and
sound money"
Il is national honor to become pau
pers and homeless slaves to pay the ma.
tional or other debt in money from
twice to four times the value it was
contracted 10. 1t is "soun3 money"
to get only at a big rate of interest
from u banker and then not a legal ten
der with which one a pay their debts.
Yes, gold Is sound money, all sound, as
the poor man rarely sees it.
1t is the sound of those silent car
wheels IN yonder siding which is not
carrying the farmers produce to the
starving thousands in Philadelphia. 1t
is the sound Of the merchant waiting
for moneyless farmers to buy bis goods.
1t is the sound in the pocket Of the poor
man n-yudf street with no money to
buy clothing for himself and family
with \ cold winter coming on. 1t is
the sound from the empty lard an. 1t
is the.sound from the empty butter can
1t Is the sound from the empty bread.
can. 1t is the sound from the empty
cupboard with no meat. 1t is the
sound Of the starving wives and chill
dren crying for bread. II is the sound
Of the clod on the coffin of the dead.
Coins Financial School Up-to.Dat
says, .'Ihe editor who will purposely
deceive his readers when every instinct
Of patriotism demands that the light
Of truth should be turned upon this
subject which affects the welfare and
integrity OF a nation, by his own act
burns as with a brand iron, a damnable
scar upon his reputation and that OF
his newspaper. In this instance it is a
greater crime to falsify, than any act
in the d~ecalogue Of crimes"
We will make the tyrants tremble
LIKE our fathers did Of yore.
We will give John Bull a kicking
And drive him from our shore.
We can coin our silver money
Without asking Queen Victor.
Our wives will not be pining
For new carpet on the floor.
The farmers will be happy
With dollars by the score.
With money for the preacher.
With a bigger dollar crop,
Wen then get bigger profits
And our wives will 60 to shop.
They will buy the fruits OF labor;
And the mills no longer stop.
Wen shout the song OF freedom,
Make the music fill the air
IS our fathers did before us,
With Bryan in the chair.
