PETER LONGsnOTT on EXPANSION.
SAssAFRAs JUNGLE, which is
betwixt Hickory Grove and s.

betwixt Hickory Grove and S..
Hooppole township, Ind.
Ma. NEwsPAPERMAN Are you for
expansion am. The beauties of
expansion are numerous and pro-
digious. The superfluous fighting
material in Dubois county Will be
continued To remain at home and
take part in the more serious and
more important campaigns between
the Jasper Court House ring and
the smokehouse ring, but there are
others.
The wise administration of the
Republican party for the last 80
years. 6 months, Is days, 8 hours
and 5 minutes has brought il about
that about 80 out Of every 100 dol
lars belong TO Hanna and his broth
ers-in-law, the gold bugs, and that
about three out OF every four able
bodied men OF the L. :. are out OF
employment. Let them enlist. Let
them be transported to the Philip
pines. Let them shoot down the
FilipinOs aud make room for them
selves. In other words let them
expand The L. :. is fast becom-
ing too small. for the trusts, the
millionaires and the Jasper Court
House ring on one side, and toe
poJr man. the free silver man and
the common man on the other side.
One or the other has TO git. Ask
that man from Huntingburg, who is
tie who, who has To 60?
Therefore let us expand. Those
who amt satisfied with the doings
Of the Jasper Court House ring let
them he to the Philippines and ex-
pand Now there. Mr.. ex-senator,
VI. A. Sweeney, git You got no
business in Dubois county, but il
You will expand into the Philippines
We viii appoint you colonel OF the
rs to / brigade and you can lick the
Filipinos to the full extent of your
hearts content. Oh, the beauties
OF expansion.
Just think, Mr.. Newspaperman,
how many offices there are TO 60
around again after we have success
| fully expanded throughout the Phil
. ippines and the pearls OF the Anti
todes. And when you 90 to con
gress, Mr.. Newspaperman, which
you will if Sassafras Jungle has any
thing to say in the matter, you con
send home a commission for some
. office in the colonial possessions to
. every voter in Sassafras Jungle
How much greater and more ex-
pansive that will he, Mr.. News
paperman. than sending around free
hayseed packages embellished with
your autographs. Just think of t,
when YOU 90 TO congress in 1900
YOU can send to every man in Sas-
safras Jungle commission to a T.
o. or an internal revenue office.
Won't there be bonfires in Sassairas
Jungle them You bet.
Say, Mr.. New-papermdn, how i
your competitor, the log-roller from
Birdseye, on expansion? l. he for
it, or j. he against il? Say, won't
YOU write a letter to him and TIL
him 10 come out strong for expan-
sion2 And if he does, Sassafras
Jungle will 90 for him, second
joice.
You know, Mr.. Newspaperman,
we have to keep our eyes peeled. II
YOU can't go 10 congress, on account
Of pressing engagements at home,
then. may be, one Of the others will
have to 60 anyhow. Now, Mr..
Newspaperman, you write to them
all. the logroller, Aleck, Mick, the
goldbug. the doodlebug, Dutch
Gus and the others, and tell them
to come out for expansion. Let Us
expand Let us expand early and
often, Let US expand until all Of
u are either in congress, or have a
7. o. or an Internal revenue Office.
Saw, write to Bryan to come out
for expansion.
Yours for expansion,
riproriously and ex2ansively,
PETER LoNcsHoTT.
