1t has been left for an agricultural
paper to solve the vexing problem of
living in system of capital ownership
OF everything. 1t says if farmers sons
will be satisfied with no horse, no
ton, they can save money on farm
even to-day.-Coming Nation.
Why of course. He might also leave
off much that he eats. He might live
principally on corn bread and cow peas,
with hickory or walnuts thrown in oc-
casionally for dessert. He might also
reduce his hours of sleeping and in
crease the hours of labor. Why, most
certainly, he could give half the prod
ucts of his labor to plutocracy and then
save money. But what We started out to
say was that it is not every Agricultural
paper that is the farmers friend CT
worthy the support of farmers. 1t was
Buell's Bank Circular that announced
the policy of buying up the religious
see one of them dealing out such trash
as that you may put it down safely that
it has either sold out, or don't know
enough about farm interests to haul
out manure.
Henry Watterson says: I'VE have,
in fact, no democratic party at all. 1t
is merely an agglomeration of quiddi-
ties thrown together by the upheaval
of the times. A monster without a
head, running wild through a wilder
ness of political incertitude." d.
Whoa, there, Henry. Is it that bad?
Well, then, take the thing "thrum" us.
If that's the kind of an individual it is,
it ought to be prohibited by law from
thing of great promise, a monster
without head, running wild through
wilderness of incertitude." Well, we
did not think it was so bad. We re-
member that Watterson told us the
nomination Of Cleveland would be a
march through the slaughter house to
an open grave" Perhaps he meant the
election of Cleveland, after all. In
speaking of the Presidents message he
said: Nothing will come of it. Con-
gress will not do anything at all, and if
| the republicans are wise they will
simply pass the appropriation bill and
go home"
1t is very plain to see that Henry is
overcome with large gobs of gloom, and
that the "star-eyed goddess" seems to
have forsaken him for the time being
But he'll get over it-unless he has
made it a profitable business transac'
tion.
In a recent sermon Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage discussed the propensity OF
the American people to indulge in cam
paign lies and ISLANDERS, in the follow
ing picturesque style:
At every yearly or quadrennial cleo
tion we have in this country great man
.ufactories-manufac of lies; and
they are run day and night, and they
turn out half a dozen day, al
equipped and ready for full sailing
Large lies and small lies. Lies private
and lies public and lies prurient. Lie
cut bias and lies cut diagonal. Long
limbed lies and lies with double-bacl
/ action. Lies complimentary and lie
defamatory. Lies that some people be
lieve, and lies that all the people be
lieve, and lies that nobody believes
Lies with humps like camels and scale
like crocodiles, and necks as long a
storks, and feet as swift as an ante
lope's, and stings like adders. Lie
raw and scalloped and panned an
stewed. Crawling lies and jumpin
lies and soaring lies. Lies with al
tachment screws and rufflers an
braiders and ready-wound bobbinl
Lies by Christian people who never Ii
except during elections, and lies
) people who always lie, but beat then
selves in q presidential campaign.
