HAMMONTON.

Your many readers in Hammonton
appreciate your crisp remarks on Bryan
and Sewall. Bryan is sure to go in, and
it's calling to the high handed robbers
of both of the old parties. Let me retro
spect little in order to illustrate a
point. President Cleveland called halt
upon England in the Venezuelan affair.
They halted, and that right sharp. Eng
land is not nation; it is big business
house with a figure-head monarch. The
people are merely slaves. But ''busiDess"
goes on in the same old channel as for
centuries past. The United States
Joshua-like-command them to ''stand
still" and they Obeyed.
History repeats itself. The same ele-
ments have fastened their fangs upon the
industries OF the United States, though
for courtesy's sake they are called
Americans. They have, since the war,
SO absorbed the different branches of
industry that we too have an aristocracy
of wealth. The rich, as in little Britain,
grow richer and the poor poorer. Two
said gang. Self preservation being the
first law of nature, the people have arisen
in their might and will answer what
they are going to do about it. From the
Attorney-General OF the United States
down to States, counties, cities and
towns, Trusts have been fourishing,
while hunger and death is rampant in
all of our great cities. We are fast
reaching the position of Ireland, Italy,
Germany, etc., and our people must
either ego west" or lose all of their pos
sessions, and perhaps both. And this
has been fostered by both of the old
parties.
1t was just such things that led to the
fail of the Roman Empire, Greece, Spain,
Italy, and the fast decaying British En-
pire. Gold bonds were issued to enrich
thieviDg syndicates by a Democratic
administration under laws enacted by
Republicans, with an apparent never
ending of such vast steals. The people,
through their representatives at Chicago,
have called q halt upon all of this. And
already what is the result? The thieves
are seeking cover, and instead of depict
ing the Treasury they are pouring gold
into it in order to keep up the reserve to
tho prescribed hundred millions.
What has been the cause of all this ?
The nomination of Bryan and Sewall for
President and Vice President respective
ly. The Pacific railroad thieves, trusts,
ETC., see clearly, and not dimly as through
glass, knowing that with the election
of Bryan and Congress i'll sympathy
with him, their doomsday will-have
come. Will the intelligent voters vote
to continue the old machine in power ?
think not. Their-the machinc-cry of
villifcation and abuse is all rot, merely
to distract attention. 1t was just the
same in 1860 over the immortal Lincoln.
There will no doubt be a financial panic
| for the thieves in the election of Bryan.
And may God speed the panic! VIAToR.
Mrs. Eliza Hall North, aged 80 years
and widow of the late DIR. Jos. III. North,
ST., died at her residence on Friday

welded DR.. Joseph North. The happy
couple dwelled near the scenes of their
childhood days until 1858 when the
doctor came to Hammonton and being
highly delighted with the healthy
climate made arrangements for his wife
and family to make this place their
home. 1t q short time he bought. and
cleared the place now known as the
Colwell property and erected the house
which stands to the present day. DR..
and Mrs. North were blessed with seven
| children who survive them. They are Drs
