cold as if we lived in Labrador
and today makes mo think OF
when / was younger than | am to.
day, when | would catch at the
beautiful snowdrops, and express
my JOY by yells and playing in the
beautiful crystals until my fingers
and toes would ache, and would
sit and listen to stories about the
cold arctic regions and the old
women up thcro picking thoir
geese. and that that was their
beautiful feathers. ..
But today as that childish man
nor is a thing of tho past, aad
things have changed as to what
h"vo to do on snowy days, SO at
chances l have been reading Bon
Tlllman's speech. That fire which
nc fired at the bootlicks and syco-
phants, he lifted Granny IIoar,
and President Cleveland with his
pitchfork, it is said that when it
was known that no Was to speak
the galleries wcro crowded, evcry
senator was in his seat. What!
Evcry Senator in his seat? Some
thing very unusal, no bounced
Granny Hoar with an alleged ut
tcrance, upon the ability of South
crn statesmen which he declared
ho mover said, while Bon tho fear
less, remarked, l will not wot my
whistle when talking for wind
mill not run Ivy water.
He wont Oh to say that tho de-
rangement Of our finance and all
this cry about sound money was
because Of Il damnablo schome of
robbery by the destruction Of sill
yer, increase of tho public debt,
bonds payable in gold, and the is
suing of money by corporations
giving them tho monopoly of the
function, and who of us is it that
docs not agree with him thtro or
amy who're clso we find him.
Didn't he get real hot after Clcyc-
land, that bcsotted tyrant. Ben
says he IS wiling to grant that he
(Cievciand) was honest at the
start, yes VIC think in the samo
way, but Wall streets money has
brought mist before his eyes until
l.o seems to think there is no mon
ey but gold,he is working for mon
cy and tho more he becomes at
tachcd to Wn!l street he dcnouncos
both Democrats and Republicans
who have played Judas and Roths-
child tho London Jcw, The money
changers who are in tho temple
must hc driven out and nothing
but the Democracy of jefferson
and tho R"publcan!sn OF Lincoln
rcstOrCu
We'll | do say he is lho right
man and very near III tho right
place, he ought to be president and
the national alliance convention is
likely to nominate him to tho
pride Of the South and the gout
Of tie nation. Why not tho Soutl
and West elect tho next president
Thcro is somo sIoAg thoughts O
placing at the head Of dcmocrac'
that noted statesman, Senate
Crisp, of our neighbor state, Gcor
gia. Where Is there moro noblcr
patriotic fearless, and unfailin
statesmen than these? The olt
prcjudlced North already sees th
wave of power is fast moving t,
tho South there to stay. Hov
quick they placed Il little honor O,
our old veterans when they imap
med they heard warwhoop. The,
need us, they need our produce.
/ will 60 back to TiIlman and
tell of ono Of my nolghhors views
Of him very close friend. I will
leave off his namo. IFo said he
dislikcd Tll!man's ways's for he
would go to th Senate and raise a
row for he had 10 better sense,
another noal hy whispered to mo,
yes, wouldn't he look nice up there
at Washington with about Il pint
Of molasscs and y pound of corn
bread in his craw. JoE ROOSTER.
