RINGING THE NOSES OF HOGS.

J "A leading Republican paper takes
great umbragc at a remark made by
MIR. w. ]. bryan in his speech before
the trust-conference at Chicago. The
remark which so offends Republican
sensibllty was this, that Zone of the
great purposes OF government is to put
rings in the noses Of hogs" Why this
assertion OF the great Democrat should
insult Republicans and other cham
plons of trusts and monopolists is ex-
plicable only on the supposition that
they and their leading organ have II
strong fcllowfccllng for hogs.-ai-
though the organ prctends that it is
at variance with the .IencrsonIan dccla-
ration that governments are instituted
BILE rights to them, az life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
But where is the conflict as to hogs?
Jefferson was one of the first and fore
most to help put rings in the noses
of the British hogs that sought to tax
us without our consent or representa-
tiOn. He also put a ring In the nose
Of the British Minister, Lord North and
his "Conciliatory Propositions" TO the
American colonies In fact, he made a
number OF rings that found fit noses
as the Declaration Of Independence;
the abolition or entails; the establish
ment of religious freedom, the abolition
of the slave trade; ana he opposed tho
proposition of q National Bank from:
the FIRST. Afterwards. speaking Of the
III. S. Bank, lie said: This institution
is one of the most deadly hostility
against the principles and forms Of oul
constitution"
Jefferson put ring in Burns nose
and he was the horror of swine OF all
degrees. Ii government fails to ring
the noses of rogush pigs and hogs. the
people's crops will suffer badly and
the hogs will reap where they have no,
lsowed and gather where they have not
strewn. Let us all thank heaven fol
nose-rlngs and they who know how |,
place them in greedy shouts. We naal
such rings and men this moment n
Washington and wherever there is .
hog in our corn or roots.
