used in acquiring the same would
be foolhardy indeed, 80 We will
forego any attempt at justification,
and acknowledge to being guilty
of all the crimes in the calendar
in it's acquisition. The thought of
who the sufferers were should not
enter the case at all We wore
out for tho dough, aud the poor,
being the easiest marks, and be-
ing the least likely to protest
against the methods in the courts
on accounts of the shortage of
funds, of course were our natural
victims, and we are frank to ad-
init that we are deserving Of every
epithet and innuendo which that
ch-abused and ill-trested els-
ment can heap upon us. Thanks
to our illegal msnipulations of the
necessaries of life, which in civil
LIKED countries would not be to-
lerated, we fnanciers have unwit-
tingly been the means of carrying
out the injunction in the Bible by
means of our illegal combinations
and corrupt practices: "Ths poor
be shall have with you Away"
Of course it were foolish to claim
that we had this quotation in our
minds eye while we we're separat-
ing them from their long green;
but we cite this in an effort to dis
prove the assertion of our detrac-
tors that we are wholly bad, even
though we inwardly agree with
them. However crooked We have
been in our dealings with the peo-
pie, and by what corkscrsw me-
thods we have succeeded in heec-
ing them, We are not foolish
enough to publish our guilt and
our methods from the housetop.
We are going to make al outward
bluff to fool the gullible, and trust
to luck to get away with it.
As said before, if we could only
take that for which we have VIC
lated both the laws of God and
man with us, then our transforma-
ton to that bourne from whence
no traveller rsturneth" would be
in measure shorn of lis dread
and hideousity. 1t certainly is
not solscing thought for US fin
anciers to know that what We have
acquired by methods which would
bring the blush of shame 10 the
alabastsr cheeks of honest people
must be left behind, to be fought
oyer in real kilkenny.cat style by
our relatives.
Ii money was all-powerful, as it
Is on earth, and if old BesIzebub
was brlbable, as most people are
IN the earth, then We fnanciers
could occupy a private box in his
dominIons.

cssionally fastening a fine upon
some Of our friends-which fine,
by the way, was always paid by
the public through the medium OF
increased ratss-this administra-
ton is about to place tax upon
our incomes. Under the former
administrations We were not fear
full of such catastrophe, friends
dominated tho Republican party,
and when We played tho game out
according to Hoyls, they but wink
cd at 10. We consider the action
of the Democratic party In separ-
ating US from some of our ill-got-
ten gains as an outrage upon dis
honest practices. We admit that
We have no desire to discontinue
our nefarious practices. aud pre-
for to 60 on in the even tenor Of
our way. The old route spells
money to US, and as worshipsrs at
the shrine of MAMMON, We fai II
would contius to worship that
god. Others may worship the
spirited God, but, being better ac-
quainted with MAMMON, we pre-
fer to still do homage to him.
Ii the purpose Is to reform US,
We. object to being made the in
struments of these zealOts for re-
form. We are thoroughly dsgs-
nerate, and are not DESTROYS of
having wings placed upon our
shoulders. We are piling up the
long green, and that is tho height
Of our ambition. Get money; get
money honestly if you can; but
get money! has been our sid ian
in the past, aud we have no desire
to change it. We are normal hu-
man beings until it comes to tho
acquisition of money; then our
swinishness and hyena- ks move
msnts become painfully evident
to tho unfortunatss with whom we
are dealing. II We fail to separate
them from their cash and transfer
it to our coffers, they are truly
fortunate, for few there are who
escape who come within our tolls.
While Fagin the Jew may have
turned out some real artists at this
game, yet they should not be class
cd with US when the quantity and
quality of our crooked manlpula-
tiOns are taken into consideration.
Their victims we're limited in num-
Der, and the artists themselves
ever under tho watchful eye of
the coppers, while our victims are
unlimited, and we carry on our
work without fear or trepidation.
One word is all that is nsnsssary
to explain this freedom of action
sugar.
Even the preachers sometimes
take a fling at US, in spite Of the
fact that we occasionally attend
their places of worship aud con-
tribute to the upksep of tho church
over which they preside by rent
ing pew forms sake. And the
working people likewise take u
fall out OF US at times, notwith-
standing We fnancisrs give them

the money to buy provender for
their families. If We were dis
posed to DO frank, wo would DO

US; but should we dare to give
utteranco to this truth, We would

A UNIQUE SENTENCE.

Fifty years ago a judge in
Waco is said to have concluded
mis- remarks in passing sentence
of death upon a prisoner, as fol-
lows: sThe fact is, Jones, that
the court did not intend to order
you to be executed before next
spring, but the weather is very
cold; our Jail, unfortunately. is
in very bad condition; much of
the glass in the windows is brok-
en-; the chimneys are in such a
dllapidated state that no fire can
De made to render your apart
ments comfortable; besides, ow.
ing to the great number Of pris-
Oners, not more than one blanket
can be allowed to each; to sleep
sound and comfortable, therefore,
is out of the question. In consid-.
Grafton of the circumstances, and
wishing to lessen your sufferings
as much as possible, the Court,
IN the exercise of human COM
passion, hereby orders you to be
executed tomorrow morning. as
soon after breakfast as may be.
convenient to the sheriff and
agreeable to you. "-Ex.
