INGALLS, IN 1891.

In the Senate of the United States
on January II. 1891, John ]. Ingalls,,
then senator from Kansas, deliver
ed these words:
"Mr. President, there is not a state
west OF the Allegheny mountains
and south of the Potomac and Ohio
rivers, that ia not in favor of the
free coinage of silver. There is not
a state in which, If that proposition
were to be submitted to "A popular
vote, it would not be adopted by an
overwhelming majority. If the
proposition were to be submitted to
the votes of the peopl. of this
country at large, whether the silver
dollar should be recoined and silver
remonetized, Notwithstanding the
prophecies, the predictions. the
animadversions of those who are
opposed to il, / have not the slight
est doubt that great majority of
the people, irrespective of party,
would be in favor of il, and would
so record themselves. They have
declared in favor of il for the past
fifteen years, and they have been
juggied with, they have been
Inverted. they have been paltered
with and dealt with in double
sense. The word of promise that
was made to their ears in the plal-
forms of political parties has been
broken to their hope. There was
majority in this body at the last
session of Congress in favor of the
free coinage of silver. The COM
promise that was made was not
what the people expected nor what
they had a right to demand. They
felt that they had been triiled with
and that is one cause of the exaspe-
ration that was expressed in the
verdict of November "A
II am not a prophet nor the son OF
a prophet, but say TO those who
are now arraying themselves
against the deliberately expressed
judgment of the American people,
a judgment that they know has
been declared and recorded say
to the members of this body-I cay,

~, to the members of the executive
of the nation. that there will come
a time when the people will be
trified with no longer on this sub
ject. Once. twice, thrice, by excu-
tive intervention, Democratic and
Republican, by parliamentary pro-
ceedings that need not character
lie, by various methods of legisia-
tive jugglery, the deliberate pur-
pose of the American people, ire
spective of party, has been thwart-

GOLD BUGS AND OTHER BUGS.

Written by Herman Moecker for the Jour
nal of Industry, Quincy, ILL.,
Would rather be a potato bug
That strips the viands green.
Than to be n gold bug
Always doing mean.
Would rather be lightning bug
And flash my wings of light,
Than TO be gold bug
That robs The widows mite.
Would rather be June bug
That sucks the berries sweet,
Than 10 be n gold bug
That robs labor of it's meat.
Would rather be bed bug
And bite the baby's toes,
Than to be gold bug
That robs il of its clothes.
Would rather he lady bug
That looks as fine as silk,
Than to be gold bug
That robs infants of their milk.
Would rather be humbug
And beat my way through life,
Than to be a gold bug
That keeps up constant strife.
Would rather be n tumble bug
Aud roll my little ball,
Than 20 be gold bug
That robs labor OF its all.

The Columbus Advocate, in


speaking of the attitude OF the
NEWS on the jail question, says
the NEWS Ia on the kicking side. If
the Advocate man will jog his
memory little he will doubtless
remember that when the Jail matter
was up before the NEWS supported
Il. Since then promises have been
made by the county commissioners
that have not been fulfilled, hence,
etc. But what hurts the Advocate
is the fact that Galcna, Empire
City, aud in fact the whole south
east part of the county, Is against
the new Jail scheme.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

All nations have had great men
In days that were blue;
We have had Washington
And Abraham Lincoln. too.
I think we've found another chief
Who could check the days decline
With that Jeffersonian spirit
This William jennings Bryan.
They called him a deniagogue
AS shallow IA the Platte,
When he showed 'em how free silver
Would help the 'poor and fat"
What the Missouri is to the Hudson,
The Amazon is to the Rhine
The former is the depth of
This William Jennings Bryan.
Honor to this great young man
Three great conventions cry,
Battling with the mammon giants,
Who jeer him az 1.-THE Boy
Like David when Goliath he met,
When the armies were in line
He'll serve the giants as David did
This William jennings Bryan.
They talk about the tariff,
And other kinds of rot.
But what we are needing
The people have not got.
We will open up the work shop
When we open up the mine.
And pay the standard dollar
Says William jennings Bryan.
III say to the friends Of mine
In great old Illinois.
That the hero in this song
Is one of your own boys;
And yours is The pivotal state,
And you may cast the line
And decide The fate of silver
And William jennings Bryan.
They'll say this song is anarchy,
Or poets are getting wild;
From what | know of anarchy
This theme is very mild.
| sincerely thank the Co.'s
For every thought divine
And hope they inspired this song
For William Jennings Bryan.
