The St. Louis Globe Democrat re- ceiyes a large share of it's patronage from the Democratic States of Ark ansas, Texas, Louisiana and Tenn essee. In view of this fact, and the further fact that conservatism and sound argument is better, it is strange that that paper resorts to aspersions upon these people, also vile epithets and stinging vitnpera- tion. We can not see how our peo- pie can afford to patronize such q vile sheet. If our people would stop taking it awhile, it might learn some sense.

 The following is all extract from q speech delivered by John A. Logan ill the United States senate on the with drawal of treasury notes:
 ], for one, can see benefit only to the money holder and those who receive in- terest and have fixed incomes. I can see, as a result of this legislation, our business operations crippled and wages for labor reduced to a mere pittance. can see the beautiful prairies of my own state and of the great west, which are blooming as gardens, with cheerful homes rising like white towers along the pathway of improvement, again sinking back to idleness. I can see mortgage tiends at their hellish work. l can see the hopes of the industrious farmers blasted as they burn corn for fuel because it's price will not pay the cost of transportation and dividends on millions of dollars of fictitious railway stocks and bonds.
 l can see our people of the west grooming and burdened under taxation to pay debts of states, counties and cities incurred when money was more abundant and bright hopes of the future were held out to lead them on. I can see the people of our western states, who are producers, reduced to the condition ot serfs to pay interest on public aud private debts to the money sharks of Wall street, New Yor':., and of Thread needle street in Londem.

Never since slavery days has the press in the parts of the country familiar to me displayed such disregard for truth and such stubborn obtuseness to the most obvious considerations as it does at present on the silver question. This means that the money power seated in London, but with representatives in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago IS determined to continue the apprecia- ton of gold. and determined, therefore. that the facts shall not be known.
