Bribery, Boodle and
The Republican League in its answer to
Chairman Clarkson's "puff' of Quay, and
referriog to matters in Pennsylvania alone,
of which Clarkson "does not pretend to
speak" says: "Qnay is not only a boss
politician, but an unscrupulous one. In
1879 he was the intimate associate of men
who attempted to bribe tbe Legislature to
pass thee hsmofui four-million dollar Penn
sylvania riot bill. The wrong doers were
arrested, pleaded guilty to the infamous
crime of bribery and wero sentenced to be
imprisoned in the State Penitentiary. A
few days after sentence Mr. Quay, for
reasons beet known to himself, aided in
pardoning tbe bribers and set them free.
The oitixens of Philadelphia will be
interested in remembering that the record'
er 1 * bill was passed in' 1878, and was so
oppreasivelly useless that it was soon al'ter
repealed, amid the indignation of tbe peo
ple. Mr. Quay was appointed recorder
»i.d pnt $40,000 a year into bis own pock
ets from taxes imposed on the merchants
and storekeepers of Philadelphia. It was
the action of tbe Pardon Board by which
tbe convicted bribers were released, and
of which Mr. Qnay was tbe controling
spirit, that lead to the strongest denunci
ation from the Republican newspapers of
thattime.—The Philapelpbia Sortk Ameri
can frees, Lancaster Sew Era, New York
Trtbune and many others.
Tne oharge of embesslement of $200,000
of Btate funds brought against Mr. Quay
by two leading newspapers of New York,
if it were a calumny, conld have been
quickly disposed of bad Mr. Quay seen fit
to follcw tbe oourse wbioh be recently pur
sued when certain newspapers accused him
falsely. A prompt suit for libel would
have been an effective demonstration of
innocence. A request for testimony ot
alleged witnesses (of whom Hon. Wayne
McVeagb was one) of tbe evidence of bis
guilt would have satisfactorily disposed of
tbe scandal. But Mr. Quay neither sued
nor asked tbe gentleman referred to, to
•peak.

Tbe Eagle baa discovered a new kind of
statesmanship unlike that of Webster aud
Clay. It oonsists in nay log nothing and
doing nothing. It heeds neither tongue or
pen and it made up of profonnd silence and
continued absence, at all times excepting
pay day. As the mistakes and ignorance
of the dootor are hiJden in tbe grave, HO a
closed mouth at all times and in all place*
hides and prevents the ignorauo* aud mis
takes of tbe Eagle t model of statesman
ship from being discovered It is true
that the kind of statesmanship outlined iu
the Eagle is more easily acquired and less
liable to oriticism or to controversy than
that of Webster or Clay, and it might be
remarked that if the Eagle'i prescription
bad been announoed sooned that l oth
Webster and Clay oould have acquired as
much fame as they bad in a much easier
way, by each being a member of some
Committee before which no important bus
iness was ever done—tbe Library Commit

The local dailies on Saturday published
an endorsment of M. S. Quay for U. 3.
Senator, purported to be signed by 200
soldiers.
Even if the thing were genuine, it would
not bo an expression of the soldier element
of Lawrence county.
But tbe list contains names of men
sever in the war at all.
It ooatains the names of men who never
i'gned it or authorised anybody to sign it
fur them.
It contains names of soldiers who are
Sot for Quay for Senator, but agaiust him.
A pointer: There are 134 members of tbe
looal lodge U. V. L. But seven of them
signed tbe Quay endorsement.
It will be a boomerang.—New Castle

Impudent Hypocrisy.
On the 20th of February the telegraph
lines pare to the public the news of a gift
by John D. Rockefeller, to the Univers
ity of Chicago, of one million dollars. This
deserves more than passing mention. It
furnishes a test from which can be preach
ed a sermon upon the dangerous tendencies
of the times and upon a kind of hypocrisy
more contemptible, more monstrous and
more insolent than perhaps the world ever
saw before. The Pecksniffs, the I riab
Ileeps, aud that class of shams are well
known. In the old days of great robbers,
operating with numerous bauds of follow
ers, sometimes rising to the size of armies,
it was no unusual thing for a thief of
that kind to seek the favor of the Almighty
by the endowemeDt of monasteries, and
the building of catherdrals. Yet it may
be doubted whether any of them ever rose
to the sublimity of impudence reached by
Rockefeller when he announces a gift, of a
portion of his illgotten gains "as a special
thank offering to Almighty God. He
speaks to sixty-five millions of people,'and
compai atively few among them know that
every dollar of this '"thank offering to Al
mighty God" has be»n wrung from the
wreck aud ruin of Rockefeller's fellow men
engaged in the petroleum industry. Com
mon decency, and the shame which some
times come to the most hardened, should
have suppressed this pablioaiion by the
Standard Trust amongthe people where are
found the victims of the insstiate greed ol
Rockefeller's Trust. Here are famiies left
to struggle with poverty, because their
heads have been driven to suicide by hope
less locses in their business of producing
petroleum. Here are men WQO, by years
of patient industry and attention to affairs,
had accumulated property sufficient for
their needs, and producing incomes ample
for their comfort,who stand trembling and
broken on the brink of insolvency, not
knowing what will yet be the fate of them
selves and their famiies. Here are prop
erties which a few months since were
worth in open market hundreds of thous
ands of dollars, now being sold by the
sheriff, at from ten to tweaty-five cents on
the dollar, of their real value.
For these things the Standard Oil Trust
of which Rockefeller is the head, is direct
ly responsible. Let not tbe seventh and
eighth days of August, 1891, be forgotten.
Let the events of those days rest as a curse
upon Rockefellers Trust for all time, for
Almighty God will not be deceived by
such "thank offerings," On those days the
representatives of Rockfeller's Trust, low
ered the price of oil in every producing
field in Pennsylvania from five to twenty
cents a barrel. On those days they stood
in the oil exchanges—which are mere parts
of tbe machinery of Rockefeller's Trust —
and offered to sell large blocks of certiti
cate oil at constantly lessening prices until
the price of 50 cents a barrel was reached
Since tbose days the producer of petroleum
has not been able to get more from Rocte
fellers Trust tbau 6i cents per barrel, and
the average has been scarcely 60 cents.
Oil properties became unsalable, and in
dustrial depression, commercial stagnation
apd financial embarrassm«ut bare ruled in
the oil region for more than six months.
It is in vain tor the representatives of
Rockefeller's Trust to give out for distant
consumption to coufiaing newspaper re
porters that this depression was caused
by "Tbe McDonald Field" or by that latter
invention of the Trust, "Russian Competi
tion." The people in this region know
better, and so does Rockefeller, aud all
tbe chief men managing bis Oil Trust.
The great wells of the McDonald field bud
not been discovered when the Trust gave
out in June tbat prices of oil would be
lower, nor bad they reached any alarming
number or output on the 7th of August.
As for "Rus»ia Corapetit on" it is com
paratively no greater thau at any time in
tbe past five years. And if it was, who is
to blame for it T Tbe «il producer ot Penn
sylvania is not responsible, it i» to owing
to the insatiate greed of Rockefeller's
Trust, wbicb, not satisfied with less than
the earth, and having seized tbe control ol
the petroleum industry in America, sought
to driv~ Russia from that of Europe, for no
Russian oil comes to America. And there
Rockefeller's Trust met a combination, us
greedy, as ruthless, as unscrupulous and
as corrupt as itself. Russia tbe Rotncbilds,
the >'obels, declined to be driven out of
tbe European trade, and declined to make
contracts whioh would give the American
Trust control of their business And so,
in order that Rockefeller's Trust may di
vide millions each year by trying
to undersell Russia, and may make "mil
lion dollar thank offering to Almighty
God," the American oil producer niu*t bo
kept poor, driven to insolvency, to insani
ty and to suicide, and all the homes of our
people be blighted with waut and appre
hension.
Shame on the insolent hypocrite that
flaunts in the lace of the people he has
plundered bis impudent "thank offerings."
Shame on the people that stand by aud
make no protest aitainst such iank op
pression.—Titusville Ctttton
SEXATOK QUAY did not even take enough
iuterest in hia old comrades to be present
and vote on tbe dependent pension bill.
However, we are glad to state, that tbe
interests of tbe old soldier were carefullj
looked after by other members of the
Senate, who were more attentive to their
duties than Pennsylvania's representative.
IT bas been Huggented that a United
•States .Senator woo absents himself two
thirds of the time should not !>u entitled to
bis salary duriug said absence If that
were the case, perhaps Senator Quay
would l>e morn attentive to bis duties here

large amount of money to pay a Senator
who does uot attend to his duties.

Lancaster County Heard From
At a meeting of Republicans held in
Lancaster last week, the following reso
lutions, prepared by a committee were
adopted unanimously:
We, members of the Republican party,
opposed to the re-election ot Hon M S.
to the Cnited States Senate, in con
ference assembled, adopted unanimously
the following resolutions as the expression
of the individual opinions and we believe
it to be the sentiment of the majority of
tbe people of Lancaster county.
WHEREAS, Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay ha-, by his constant absence from
tne Senate Chamber neglected the interests
of the people at large, aud his constituents
in this State particularly, aud
WHKEBAS, While at his post of duty he
lia> not -bowu tbat ability, courage and
moral purpose which sUould represent a
great Commonwealth like Pennsylvania,
ai.d .
WHEREAS. He has used the powers of
his position in building up an official
machine, obedient to his orders and
subservient to his will and through which
he has been atile to dictate State tickets,
tthicb have wakened tbe party organization,
increased tbe evils of spoils srstein, lower
ed the tone of official life, and fastened the
baneful influences of a selfish office-hold
ing upon every community; and
WHEREAS, By his course on tbe elections
bill and v..te on the silver question he has
not met the demands of tbe Republican
party and the true interests of our business
and commercial life; and
WHEREAS, We have hundreds of Repub
licans in the State, who, by ability and
pure character, are an honor to the Com
mo wealth and who, on the floor of the
Senate, would bring back the Senatorial
glory which was our pride in the past,
therefore
Resolved. That Matthew Stanley Quay,
nnderall the circumstances considered,
personal and political, ought no longer fill
a position so responsible and honorable as
the Federal Senatorship.
Resolved, That it is our duty as earnest
Republicans aud faithful American citizens
to use all honorable to bring about
the defeat and choose some one more intent
upon the needs of the people, more alive
to tbe demauds of the times and with the
ability and moral purpose to give us a
nobler and true idea of party life than a
mere scramble for office, or a division ot
public spoils for a selfL-b and not a public
good.
Resolved, That as the Republican
County Committee has submitted the
choice for Senator to the popular vote, we
will not weaken or scatter our strength bv
voting for several candidates, but con
centrate them upon one man.
Resolved, That as the Hon. Marriott
Brosius as a candidate for Congress aud
will not permit his name to be used as a
candidate for the Senatorship, and there
tor, having no home candidate, we, as a
body, support Hon. John Dalzell and urge
all other Republicans to do likewise.
WHAT*A vast difference there is between
the recent candidacy of John Shennaa, of
Ohio, for United States Senator and the
present candidacy of M. S. Quay, in this
State , for the same office. During Si cr
man's candidacy, although he had served
thirty years in the Senate, there was a
general demand lor his return to tbe
Senate throughout the entire Union
During his career as a public man he has
been a leader of leaders among Kepubli
eans aud was returned to the Senate again
and again because of his al ilities as a
statesman, and not as a consideration for
the federal aud State patronage distributed
by hiiu. In Mr. Quay's candidacy there is
a demand, not only in Peuimy Ivania, but
through the entire couutry, lor his re
moval. As a Senator he has made a great
failure and tbe Republicans throughout
the entire country are greatly grieved to
see the banner Republican State so poorly
represented in the Sen.ate, aa-1 that ac
counts for the general demand for his re.
nioval. Why 04u't Pennsylvania elect a
statesman for such an impurt4Ut office ?

That Infamous Agreement.
At the Congressional convention of 1888
the delegates of Butler county supported
the nominee of Beaver county; and Mr.
Townsend was nominated and elected.
Tbe nominee of Butler county, at that
time expected a return of tbe favor be had
extended to Beaver county, and was uot
nuly disappointed in that, but during the
Phillips—McDowell contest of 1800 the
folloa-ing agreement, which i« a sample of
Quay's politics, was made public.
"It is mutually agreed that A. McDow
ell and his friends in Mercer county are
to bupport the candidacy of C. C. Town
send lor Congress in the congressional con
ference of 1890 by giving him tlic votes of
the Mercer county confvrrees in said con
ference', aud on the part of 0. C. Townsend
and bin friends in Beaver county, be and
they will give the support ol the Beaver
county oonferrees to A. McDowell in the
conference for tbe congressional nomina

is to be a cuniliitate for Congress in Mer

ver t> n.nty in 1802. Aud it ii alno agreed
ll.i i'tul parties and their friends arc to

One of Many More.
EDITOR CITIZKS: —In your issue of the
4th instant, one siguing herself, "A
Teacher." discussed with some vehemence,
under the caption "One of Many," the
mooted question in Allegheny twp.. viz:
'•Does a Literary Society hinder the pro
gress of the Scholars in our Common
Schoi ils?"
On account of the respectable, and with
al. competent source from whence,the arti
cle emanated I deem it proper not to let
it pa»s unnoticed.
The writer, while advocating technical
ly the affirmative of the question as above
stated, forcefully argues that Literary So
cieties, Clubs or Lyceums are highly bene
ficial. and should be organized in every
community in order to allow the parents
and post-graduates of oar common schools
to attend and absorb all the benefits to be
derived therefrom. We have, therefore,
no war to wage with the writer on the
general subject of the utility and propriety
of Literary Societies. However, the ex
clusive limits iu which she would confine
those benefits would seem a little selfish
to say the least. "A Teacher," as I un
derstand her, wonld not have anyone at
tend and participate in the proceedings of
a'Literarv Society until after they shall hare
ceased, from actual graduation, or other
cause, to atteDd our common schools. The
writer seriously and earnestly insists upon
this, apparently unmindful of the fact that
a well organized Literary Society contains
gradations in its curriculum which are
adapted to the age and mental calibre of
everyone. Wc would not, for instance,
expect the boy of eight or ten years to
take part in debate, particularly if the
the question selected involved great pro
fundity of thought; but we would expect
him to commit to memory a declamation,
and deliver it before the Society, and thus,
not only strengthen and develop that most
iuiportaut faculty of his mind, his memo
ry, but at the same time, and so far as
possible, banish, or wholly extirpate the
natural embarrassment with which poor,
weak humanity is universally afflicted,
when rising to speak before an audience,
knowing that be is the focus of all eyes
This latter frailty is oftentimes so deep
seated that it requires all the persistent,
unremitting, persevering effort which can
reasonably be crowded into all the years,
running from early boyhood to mature
manhood to eradicate. And yet, this is,
oftentimes the material out of which some
of our best public speakers are manufac
tured.
The faculty of the momory, like the
muscles of the body can only be strength
ened and developed by its use. We con
clude, therefore, that the training which
the mind and mem' .y of the young sta
d nt receives in a Literary Society, if it
were to be admitted that no other benefit*
are derived tuerefrom, only fit and qualify
him or her all the better to master the
studies composing the curriculum of the
common or day school. The truth of this
proposition is too apparent to require
much, if any, elucidation. The writer ol
the article in question says that "as the
brunches of study taaght ia tin common
schools are the euoutials toward fitting
the scholars for lives of usefulness, it is
best to give them all their time* and
thought."
If this be true ia theory and correct in
practice, the student having the legal pro
fession in contemplation should study
nothing bat jurisprudence; the medical
profession, nothing but materia medico una
surgery; the ministry, nothing but theolo
gy. Who ever heard of a minister of the
gospel making any practical use in bis
sermon of geometry, trigonometry, differ
ential calculus, conic sections, or survey
iug? And yet every well equipped minis
ter nas studied all these things; and way
bus he studied them?
The answer obviously is, fur the develop
ment of mind which the study of them
afforded. It is very certain, I think, tbui
the only possible practical use which he
could make of the science of surveying
would bo to tnake a survey of bis congre
gation, ascertain how many of thein weie
sleeping, and accuratly locate them.
Indeed, the only praoru-le use, so far as 1
can see, that a preacher can make
even of arithmetic in bis sorraou, would b
by telling his co gr.-gatiou that they could
only be saved by wnat the ari hineticiau
Used to call "Tile Kale of Three,,—th.
Trinity, you ku.w. No, learned writers
and educators overwiiore aver that this
wbole mattef of education is not nearly w>
much the acquisition of knowledge, as it is
the development of mind. Students,
therefore, should never hesitate to avail
themselves of any and everything, comp it
iliie, of course, with a good, moral char
acter, that will, in any degree, tend to the
development of the intellectual faculties,
whether it be the faculty of memory, thiii
rearming faculties, their oratorical facili
ties, or what not. Lawyers, doctor-,
preachers, editors, philosophers, and others
study geometry because there is nothing in
all this wide world so well calculated to
develop the reasoning faculties. We cob
eluded, therefore, that if tuis development
of inind be attained, it is a matter of no
moment whether ic may have been acquir
ed in a Literary .Society, or a Public
School, or out sid *of both. The histor.v
ol Mr Lincoln furnishes an example in
which it was mmit thoroughly attaine ;
without the aid of either.
Again, we would not have a young
Mir-s, of thirteen or fourteen years, under
take, iu a Littrary Society to give us
a thesis on theosophy, for instance, or a
disquisition of dialects; but wo would
expect her to take np some simple, easy
subject, one upon which who might he
competent to speak, aud write an original
essay of reasonable length, aud thu*
acquire the art of composition, so that, a
few years luter, she might be able to write
an acceptable and creditable upistle to hei
sweetheart. If such an essay be not pre
pared during school hours, bnt at home
during the long, winter evenings—as in
fact. I believe thejr always are—how it
can possibly interfere, or conflict with, or
retard the scholar's progress in her sohool
studies, I frankly confess I am wholly
unable to disceru. The art of composition
is, I believe, taught in the public schools
of onr largo towns and cities, but nothing
of the kind is down on the cirriculum of our
schools iu the r iral districts. Thus do
scholars, the accident of whose residence is
in a large town or city, have a decided
advantage over those who uro so unfortu
nato as to dwell in the country. But
then, I have beard of mere accident ot
birth making kings and queens. We
Americans, however, want to "even up"
advantages as far as possible. The only
way, then, iu which a scholar in the
couutry can get any special knowledge ol
composition, is in a Literary Society. But
just why it is wrong to teach, one night
in the week, in a Literaty Society in the
country, that which is taught every day
iu the publiJ schools iu our large towns
aud cities, I mast confers I aiu equally
unable to comprehend.
The writer, to whom allucion has been
made, again bays: "The studies now
taught iu oar common school* aro enough,
and often uiore than enough tor tbu average
scholar to comprehend." I answer that,
in addition to thecurricalam of oar country
schools, our town and oity schools have
not only composition, but rhetoric, logic,
nlgebra, etc. But, just bore it
may be retorted ih«.t, in our towns and
cities, they have graded souooU- Trne,
but then, lot us do the best we can in the
country; let us havo school* of two grades
eaci.—one denominated the common school
prop-r, the oiLur the Literary Sooiety, in
VLUVB/ the hmei CMI BY YIUUJUMY tiwgtit,
inter alia, declamation, composition and
debate. Bnt why the average scholar in
the country cannot consume and properly
digest as many branches of study as the
average scholar of equal age in town or
city, I again fail to understand. It can
not be because of any peculiarity in the
atmosphere, temperature, or surroundings
—well, surrounding* mty iivve something
to do with it.
Oar friend again says: After many year
of experience iu teachiug iu our common
chools I learned that anything that ex
cited the minds oi the scholars, outside of
the studies taught, niudered their pro
gress." Bat ju>t why writing an essay or
composition in the couutry snould "excite
the mind of the scholar" any more than in
the city, is again beyond my ken; and I
suppose there are many hundreds, even
thousands of them written there, appar
ently without any undue perturcation of
mind. Indeed, i cannot see exactly how
a scholar's writing an essay, on some Aery
tame and pacitic subject at least would
tend anywhere to disturb his or her equili
brium any more than the writing of a so
cial letter to a friend; and 1 certainly
would advise every scholar, in addition to
all their studies, literary and classical, to
correspond regularly with some friend or
friends. Mr. Lincoln once wrote Gen. Mc-
Clelland that it was unmanly for him to
claim that he could not march his army
over roads, over which, and througn
which Lee was marobing his
army every day, although not so well
equipped. So can the country scholar of
to-day do just what thousands of couutry
scholars have done before, under less ad
vantageous circumstances; and it will cer
tainly be very puerile to claim that they
cannot.
Thomas W. Phillips, now a candidate
for Congress in this '-'Gib District, uever
was able to obtain more I ban such an ed
ucation that is aflorded by a common
school in connection with a Literary So
ciety. Senator J. W. Lee of Franklin, iu
a recent sketch ot Mr. Phillip's life, makes
u>e of this language: "Aside from his
studies be read widely, history, biography,
and scientific literature and was passion
ately loud o. the lyeeum—the college of
the common schools—aud obtained local
d istiuction for his ability as an original
thinker and debater."
The value ot a well conducted Literary
Society, iu connection with a country com
mon school, is in my judgment, inestima
ble and should be established by law ev
erywhere. There is nothing better caleu
lated t>> arouse the latent ambition, and
inspire the slumbering aspirations of the
scholar. The every day routine of the
t-cbool room becomes very monotonous to
the young mind, and mental progress as a
consequence becomes very sluggish, and
their studies insipid and unattractive. A
Literary Society arouses scholars from this
lethargy, adds variety which is the spice of
lite, and tarnishes a mental recreation
which is just as uecessary to ihe student,
as are g\ mnastics to the athlete

Correspondence from Jacksville.
Jacksville Alliance bad an open meeting
0.1 the 7th inst, and was addressed by
State Lecturer Lewis Edwards, of James
town, Pa. The hall was crowded with
farmers who came for miles through mill
to hear from one who is interested in their
well fare. Mr. Edwards is no sore-head
politician, never was a candidate for any
office, never as he says: "was I disappoint
ed in politics or in love." He is in the
work with the objeot of correcting some of
the evils which wo, as farmers, are op
pressed with. In the course of his ro
uarks he said: "Every class of people
tb it you can mention, lawyers, doctors,
preachers, bankers, are organized for their
protection, and, lam sorry to say it, bnt
farmers, we are at the mercy of all of these
t'irough lack of organization. We worship
a'.'our political shrine and foster and protect
it till it has become as largo as a mountain.
We pay eighty-five per cent, of all tax
ation. The farmers pay a tax of an
average of 15} mills on the valuation.
The railroads pay a tax on their net
earnings only. Railroads, banks and
corporations periodically declare fat divi
dends. while the farmers have not averaged
>ne per cont. and in the best tavored
districts do not realize three per cent, [t
is a startling fact farmers, that real estate
• a Pennsylvania ha-i fallen off iu the last
tin years $75.01)0,00 ) in value. Farmers,
your land h not worth as much by one
nlf to-day if force 1 upon the market as it
vas twenty five years ago, and all on ac
• niiir, of legislation. Legislation has been
favoring the nio iey centres until tbu
0 :iP.ralizatio i of w filt.i is asju nulate I ia
tle hands o! a few individuals. Statistics
sh i# that thirty-one thousand men own
two-thirds of the wealth of these U lite I
States, wniut ti i balance is distributed
or divide I ami u thirty millions ,who are
Me laborers and pro luce every dollar.
Vow, if this is not correct. tell me just
now, do not go home and say Mr K Iwards
exaggerated the ficts. N >w, as I said
b -.fore, nothing could have done this but
legislation. We do not wish to censure
y>u lor being rich an I having money. For
next to man's eternal destiny, money
sands above everything, money has large
y to do with y< ur hen-alter, money will
keep you froin suioi le; in mey will keep
you from creaking t tat greit co nniul
nent, "Thou shad not steal." No. it is
iot that you are rich that we conplain, lint
tis how you obtain that wealth. The
hanker gets his wealth by borrowing
money from the government at 1$ percent,
n tsing U per cent. Now, rignt here let
in • explain in a few words thJ National
Bulking System. You go dowu to
vVashington with one hundred thousand
d dlars, and you invest it in Government
11 inds. You deposit the bonds there as
• -curity an 1 Uncle San gives you in re
tarn ninty thousand dollars in currency.
You come home here to Jacksville and
s art a bank. Wnat do you do t I go to
you and want to borrow one hundred
dollars for thirty days and you charge mo
one dollar. Very nearly 12 per cent.
Well, what about the bonds t Oh, yes,
they are 4* percent. payable semi-annually
in gold, which is about 10 per ceut. Now,
can any politician in Butler county deny
this f This is all legislation too and yet
you will say that the farmer needs no
legislation. Another evil is up in our
county (Mercer) where candidates are as
thick as mushroons. When ever a man
has been a failure at every thing ho his
goue at, then ho kind of reforms and wants
to go to our law-making institutions to
make laws lor as and come out for Congress
or the Assembly. Yes, the lawyers,
doctors and professional gentlemen will
say, what is the use of sending a farmer
down to Washington to make laws for us T
lie does not know what he wants. I will
tell you what we want. Wo want men
who will legislate for no special class and
will recognize the wishes ol the larmer as
those of the railroads, manufacturers and
millionaires. Then if your diati let contains
a majority of farmers, send a farmer.
Philadelphia and Allegheny canuot send
farmers aud you have five hundred farmers
in Butler who are as capable of making laws
as any lawyer or doctor in it. Now, in
conclastou, I would »ay this, the Alliance
in no way oonflic'-s with your political or
religious views. Wo are not in politics.
We ask you to take some paper that is
interested iu yoar welfare, for it is the
political papers that are the paid mouth
pieces of some political organ that are
keeping us divided and always will do so
until Republican, Democrat and P.obitioa
ist come together nuder one roof to draw
conclusions as to our best interests, for
what is beneficial to a Domocrat would
sure ly not injure the other two. Then,
wLec we are working each for the others
■ good, why i.ot work in harmony and say.

Save for the friends I held so dear;
To heal their sorrows, Lord ! descend,
And to the frieudless prove a Friend.

Stretch lorth thine ever'a*ting arms.
And shield me iu the last alarms.
