ant it is to drink and how onpleas-
ant it is to pay he would change
his mind about it. But there are
very few large heartid men in the
world.
Bascom wants his money and
Bascom is CONSISTENTLY a ShylOck.
He is a oppressOr, and n grinder
NV the faces NV the people. We
wood rise up in our wrath and mob
him, but alas! there amt one NV
us wich hez credit enutf for bari

hev to endoor him.
Therefore We rejoice at the
prospekt NV free silver. When we
hev sich u law passed, and the sill
yer miners Nv the great West hev
got things fixed SO that they kin
pay wat they owe in Their own sill
yer, they will hist it out to an ex-

this yOosurer, witch holds destruck-
shen over US. Our land-I am
speekin NV the other citizens now
witch hev land-will go up ten
times in valyoo. Land witch is now
wuth $40 an acre will spin up to
| $i00-in silver--and we will sell
enuff to git wat we owe BascOm,
and we will load cart with it and
take it to that unmerciful creditor
and compel him to take it and re-
leese us from his dominshen.
/ see in my minds eye that deer,
deliteful old saint, Deekin Program,

hundred and fifty he hez. That
miserable, grindin' Bascom lent
him 81 COO four years ago wich hez
bin runnin on interest ever sence,
and he has bar bill NV perhaps
$500 more, maxim all perhaps 81 800,
witch this Shylock holds agin him.
There will be a SPECTATOR from
Louisville, down to the Corners a
buyin land.
"Deekin, wat will 700 ask me an
aker for two akers off the east side
NV your placer" says the spekil-
ator.
"Mirandy," seq the deekin, "wat

Shylock Nv a Bascom2"
"One thousand five hundred dol
lars" will be Mirandy's anser.
Sir" SEE the Deekin, "'you kin

that monster witch demands re-
morselissly the money he lent ME
Oh, the rd-heartidnis NV this
world! Thank heaven, L hev but a
few more years Nv it. Mirandy
send the jug to Bascom's, and tel
him I'll try to pay him suthin or

And then the land will we sold

will load the silver in his cart, anC
