The Democrats are opposed to Trusts and monopolies are they not? And this is soil where nothing but a Democrat can grow?

In the first place we humbly take off our hat as token of respect to the gray-haired veteran of Meredith. Now, banlshlng from view all things, we courageless ignorant editors of Woodruff county, come to thee, Oh Solon! to learn of this great calamity. You say the peo- pie of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas are bonded to the tune of twenty-five million and yet we noticed not single paper from anyone of these states making a big to-do about it, not even a pop ulite paper. But we little editors of local papers haven't the cour- age or are too ignorant to discuss it. You seem to have forgotten the last campaign.
