1t makes no difference how many
campaigns may be lnauRurated against
the Spaniards, the campaign of the
millionaires goes steadily on through
the Hanna "ljterary bureau" at Wash
ington. just now, the following item
IS finding its way into the editorial col
umns of all the Republican papers in
the State:
'Senator Marion Butler, the North
Carolina Populist, was honest enough
to say, in a recent speech against the
milliOnaires that all the rest of us
would act in the same way if we were
millionaires. We would suggest to the
Senator and his kind that they would
better put in their time trying to earn
| money to start them on the road to be
coming millionaires than in black
guarding those who have already got
there; it would certainly be more prof
liable, and would worry the million.
