do old soldiers care, who vote the
Popocrat ticket, and probably one
third OF them in the State do, for a
little thing like Linton's default?
Didn't one-third of the old soldiers in
Kansas vote for an ex-Confederate for
Congress in preference to Union SOL

in the state who began the business

we will enter upon our fiftieth year in

into some other business: but from
the first time we entered a printing
office to the present, have buckled
down to the work. By the way, we
have helped to put in type some
mighty interesting history in these
forty-nine years The last year of the
Mexican war; the revolutions of
discovery of gold in California: the
usurpation of the Empire by Louis
Napoleon: the Crimean war: the

ROTHSCHILDS AND SILVER.

The report is current that the
Rothschilds have been quietly pur-
chasing large numbers of silver mines
in the United States. Within the
last three or four months, it is said,
they have closed deals whereby they
have secured 127 mines in New Mex
leo alone. This is supposed to mean,
says the Kansas City Journal. that
these great financiers are preparing
to corner the silver of this country,
and, when they get all of it into their
hands. force the money powers of
Europe to remonetiZe the metal and
thereby greatly increase their wealth.
This will be cheering news for the
vociferous free coinage shouters,
whose. larynXes have not yet healed
from denunciation of the Rothschilds
and other hated money kings, abroad
and at home. How will such a pro-
gramme appear to the virtuous Bryan,
the immaculate Altgeld, or the heroic
Tillman? To think that the unholy
hands of the RothschildS should pol
lutte the white metal by their sacri-
! ligious touch is enough to drive them
to the brink of despair, and probably
would if the trio were really sincere
/ in their protestations for silver.
One of the favorite arguments of
the advocates of free coinage was that
the Rothschilds and other money
kings had depressed the price of silver
for the sole purpose of 'killing it, .
increasing the value OF gold and
fastening the yoke of bondage upon
the necks of the plain people Now
it seems these plutocrats are scheming
to- raise the price of the product for
their own private gain, just as the
mine owners of the West were trying
to do when they backed Bryan in his
recent campaign This places the
bonanza silver kings and the hated
Rothschilds in the same boat. and the
