A contemporary says that the
counterfeit half dollar is said to be
abroad in the land to the extent of
about 100000 in number, and
adds that it will pay one to be on
the look out for it. Well, for our
part the genuine article is SO scarce
a commodity that when one comes
our way we look at it too long and
too ingeringIy for there to be any
mistake about it.

July L will be wage reduction
day in the iron and steel trades
throughout the land. Yet the new
tariff bill, which is to shoot us into
prosperity, will become a law
shortly thereafter. Evidently the
iron and steel men have no faith in
that measure. Thus is the last
prosperity reed broken.

Lincoln Citizen.
Some of our esteemed Newspaper
brethren in this Stateare declaring
that a man who does not pay his
taxes should not be allowed TO vote.
These friends are wrong.
In these times of oppression
many man cannot pay his taxes
without taking the bread from his
children's mouths.
He should be allowed to vote to
change his condition
Many thousand men have been
out of work for months and months
and have no money even to secure
the bare necessities of life. let alone
the payment of a tax imposed by
his government.
Deny these men the right to use
the ballot, and the stars and stripes
will be supplanted by the flaming
torches of hell and revolution.
The white slave will strike for
release from the bondage of such a
government.
IF the industrial system of the
country is such that mills are idle,
wages reduced. business stagnated
and labor paralyzed, surely no man
with a spark of love for his fellow
man would advocate a law to limit
the use of the ballot by denying
the suffrage of citizenship to the
lowly poor.
We do not believe the govern
ment should impose tax of any
kind upon the unfortunates who
have shown due diligence to secure
work and failed.
The political party that dares to
abridge the use of the ballot is an
enemy to liberty.
