THE USUAL THING.

The Southwestern Freight Associa tion will advance its freight rates So the dispatches say, and We expect others to fall in line The Republi can party needs money--must have 1t and the railroads and other corpo rations must furnish it This is the same old story-it happens every fo;; years with uninterrupted regularity and the burden of Republican ad ministration thus falls upon the peo pie.
 We recall an order of the Gould sys- tens some years ago requiring all sec tion bosses and section hands to pur- chase a certain kind of watch. This was said to be necessary Drecaution against accidents, but since accidents have not ceased, nor decreased in the slightest degree, We are so unsener OuS as to DelieNe tildl tllt OlueE Was promulgated in order to recoup the Gould system for campaign dona- tions Besides, what connection has the section hands watch with acci- dents? He leaves for his work along the line at certain hour and returns at a certain other hour and all the watches in Christendom can not make him more punctual, more care ful or more efficient
 While the raise in freight rates re- ferred to is slightly in advance of former and similar performances on the part of corporations who are made to pay the cost of Republican victory ii is none the less suggestive and proves good business acumen.
 Don't be deluded into the motion that the railroads, nor any other cor, po,ation, are so foolish as to give Ii good money for any purpose withou ex4lacting the sum from the people rackets by ways devious and motl4oi obscure, although entirely safe an effective.

 The only fault of the Democracy is it's poverty Ii has been striving to win without the sinews of war, and it's failure is due to that.

Let those who have plenty of money give what they wish and those who have only enough can confine their free will offerings to the dollar mark This would create a sum i'll every way sufficient for the purpose and would make every Dem- ocratic individual the more anxious for success.
