MORE TERRORISM.


A poor, oppressed citizen of this free
country, who stands shivering before
Plutocracy. and does not dare to sign
his name or give his residence, sends
us the following letter. It is enough
to make George Washington turn in
his grave and Andrew Jackson get up
and swear "by tho Eternal" to see a
free people so terroriZed.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly:
Dear Sir;-I enclose a circular which
is being sent out by the MiddleScx
banking Company. in regard to loans
that great many of us have got Of
them: and great many think we will
go to the devil in hurry if we get
Free Silver. For my part | will take
my chances on Free Silver, and II we
have to go the devil would rather 90
at once than be three or four years
more journcying to it, for it is not a
very pleasant road to travel.
You can use this If 1T will be of any
use in your paper. We would like to
hear from you on this matter.
Yours truly, "A well-wisher.
The circular is as follows:

+ THE MIDDLESEX BANKING CO.
by VIM. L. Graves, Western Manager.
The meat of this whole matter is
the threat that if Bcyan wins the
note and mortgage Of the debtor will
hore to be paid an gold! 1t is an attempt,
OF the Mddlesex Banking Company,
to frighten the voters into supporting
Mckinley and Company.
And this coagulatiou Of sharpers
calls itself the "Mtdd!escr Banking
Company" Why Middesex? Because
MiddleSex is the county in which the
greater part Of London is situated.
Its Hinglish you know" And in
the attempt to Englishize the United
States it is very proper that the Bank-
ing Company, God save the markD
which is sucking the substance out Of
our Minnesota farmers, should be
named after the county in England
in which London, with it's millions Of
papers and thousands Of princes, is
situated. VIII somebody play ''God
save the Queen" while the Banking
Company forecloses it's mortgages and
the farmers vote for Mckinley?
But see here, brethren, you who run
the pillow but don't thrive by it, some
OF you are half-witted, and you have
believed that Mr.. McKinly represent
ed the stars and stripes and yankee
Doodle" and Hail Columb ia" and all
the rest Of it. But see how the Mid
dlesex Nondon-England-) banking
company, is trying to force its debtors
into voting for the very same starry
and stripy Yankee-Doodle Mckinley,
by threatening to make the farmers
pay two dollars in gold where they re-
ceived one in paper.
Get the bees.wax out of your optics.
oh deluded scionS Of old bigotries, and
strike one blow for your own liberties,
and crack the skulls OF the Pluto
Gratis.
