Republican prophets are with
out honor even in their own
home now. We were told that a
Democratic victory would mean
40 cent wheat and the mills here
are today offering S1.65 a busheI.
Then the people Of this section
were told that zinc ore would not
be worth digging out Of the
ground if there was a Democratic
president.
Zinc ore is selling at S65 a ton,
the highest price in it's hi tory,
which discredits the Republican
oracles and also those other wise
men who declared that the whole
zinc and lead situation in south
west Missouri is under the con-
troll Of a trust and that we could
not be happy until the e was a
law agin' it and the trust busted.
