That Onnnc0ck Loan.

We have heard a great connection
In our lazy little town,
And, at first we had a notion
All its walls we're tumbling down.
We, like all the better people
Men and women of the place
Perched upon the highest steeple-
Scanned the foemen we must face.
'Twere the landlords of our city
Joined in one unbroken band,
Heads all hoary, wise and witty
Thought our town at their command.
Orders, both by wire and letter
To our Legislators sent,
Stop the loan, ah, you had better !
DO not pass it-you'll repent.
Now there runs Spanish proverb-
BY some second Scion penned-
"To succeed in law and loving,
Keep the devil safe your friend"
This is true in other measures
Politics is surely one,
And we hold the hidden treasures
Operate the party gun.
Seated at our elevation
No obstruction to our view
We can dictate legislation
Tell our members what to do.
Pass the bill and give us money,
We must have the needed loan,
AS for these, the bloated landlords
There is music in their groan.
We will mortgage land and houses
Every dollar they will stand,
Then will blessings come in showers
On our happy little band.
Anarchists, or as you will it
You may call us what you please
Cup of gladness joy to fill it
We will quaff it at our ease.
Soon the bill had passed both Houses,
And The Governor as we'll
The result at May election
Every citizen can tell.
For, indeed our landlords, naughty,
In dismay have left the field,
And no more will meet our party
When our might we choose to WELD.
They have lawyers and physicians
Merchants, and mechanics too
But we are the politicians
That beats all that they cen do.

"A Card.

MIR. EDITOR during the recent
local option contest in Accomac
county, took hearty and active
part by delivering speeches in differ
ent sections of said county. l have
learned that certain malicious en-
emies have been busy circulting lies
about Inc during that time and since.
They have accused me of being under
the influence of alcohol while deliver
ing temperance speeches. Recently,
while Rev. }. r. Griffith was speak
ing at Wachapreague, it was said,
that, / left the house where he was
speaking and went into the hotel
bar, took drink and then returned
to the place of speaking and followed
Mr. Griffith in temperance address.
This is Il base lie. | never entered Il
barroom at Wachapreague in my
life. For the last two years, not one
drop of liquor has passed my lips. |
hereby give notice that l will hold
responsible and call to account any
person or persons who shall continue
to circulate these slanderous lies after
the appearance of this notice in the
PENINSULA ENTERPRISE. There was
a time when l was a slave to drink,
but for two years / have been a free
man. l mourn over the past, but
rejoice in the present through the
grace of God. Respectfully,

THE TRUTH OF IT.

1t has been claimed by such
demo populistic papers as the Spo-
kane Review and Chronicle that
the republican party of eastern
Washington has stampeded to the
democratic standard, and will sup
port almost unanimously, this fall,
Bryan and Sewell.
This is not true. The prospect
for republican success in Whitman
county this fall is far better that it
was two years ago, and this is true
OF most of the counties of eastern
Washington. The loyalty of the
republicans and the dissatisfaction
in the ranks of the populists are
continually lengthening the lists Of
the Mckinley clubs.
1t is true that some republicans
have become enameored of the idea
of the free silver Offering" as the
rank and file who favor free silver
conceive of that alluring term, and
have announced their intention of
voting with the democrats this fall.
The whole trouble lies in the uni
versal ignorance of the question.
With a campaign of education this
fall, and men studying this ques
ton carefully, they will see where
the real evil lies, and vote for Nc
kinley and protection.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1896-08-01
SILVER REPUBLICANS.

1t is strange that certain repub,
licans who enjoyed upquestioned
prosperity through successive ad-
ministrations of the republican par
ty, and who have suffered under
the calamitous acts Of the present
inefficient administration, should
now be hood winken by the allur-
ing term free silver" and inhu-
enced to offer their votes in support
of a party whose history has al,
ways been fraught with ruin and
disaster. However, there are those
who claim this is their intention.
Republicans, be not deceived by
this new confdince game of that
swindling old party. Review the
history of our country for the past
four years, and you can easily dis
cover why business is at a stand
still, circulation stagnated, and pop
ulism rife. Do not be betrayed by
that talk of a crime" that occurred
% years ago, when you have made
thousands of dollars since that time
and when three fourths of the
wealth of this country has been
produced since that gruesome event.
The true evil lies with that in
capable old democratic party, whose
weakness was apprehended. and
whose lncapacity has been so soreIy
felt during the past three years.
A 50-cent dollar, a populistic
platform and a hoy orator" will
surely never inspire enthusiasm and
confidence in the business world.
To be prosperous again, confidence
must be restored to the business
men of our country, and to the
financial world. This condition
will not be realized until the repub
lican party is again in power, with
Mckinley as president, and protec-
ton and sound money our security.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1896-08-01

certain articles on the free list, and
lowering the average schedule rates
about 25 per cent. The popullstlc
income tax measure passed to pro-
vide for the deficiency that would
necessarily follow the cutting down
of our government revenues one
quarter, was adjudged unconstitu-
tional.
Democracy had absolutely failed.
Republicans and democrats alike
looked on with disgust at the una
vailing and pitiful efforts of the
democratic party to restore any
confidence to the business interests
of the country.
Democracy now virtually ac-
knowIedged itself defeated, and be
gan that unprecedented system of
borrowing money in times of peace
to dcfray the expenses of govern
ment. Already over 100000, 900
of bonds have been sold, and the
end is not yet.
Six months ago if anyone had
said that the democratic party
would carry a state in the coming
election they would have been
laughed at. But later the democrat
party, up to it's same old tricks,
discovered some popular fancies is
suing from the populists, and as a
last resort adopted them. 1t next
with true democratic blandish-
ments approached the unsophisti
Gated populist and smoothly took
him in" run his convention at St
Louis, furnished him with candi-
da'es, and now again comes before
the people of the United States
claiming it has discovered a new
remedy for hard times" in free sill
yer, and has the supreme gall" to
ask the people to give them another
trial of four years.
Voters, these confidence games of
the democratic party are too old.
The people do not, nor never will,
have confidence in a party that has
always shown itself SO incapable Of
administering successful govern
ment. There is but one remedy for
hard times, and that is to place
again in power the party that has
always come to the rescue Of the
Union in days of disaster. A vote
for Mckinley, sound money and
protection means a vote for the res
toration of confidence to the bus
mess world, and a return of pros
perity to the masses.

WE have been credibly informed
of a certain European capitalist
who has instructed his representa-
tives to invest 100000 for him
in America, on the condition that
it must be somewhere out of the
United States, and his objection to
investing in this country is that our
political and financial conditions
are too unsettled to make invest
ments of any kind safe There is
no doubt that uncertainty as to the
future is the greatest menace to our
prosperity. Any policy is better
from a business standpoint than a
continuation of uncertainty.-Se-
