Khali we plant a crop of politics? Our land has been prepared. The virgin soli was broken to a sufficient iepth. "Chase's steers" plowed the first furrow. - Peter Cooper held the -low.

Wall street and a subsidized press, stole out after dark and scattered mustard awed and pig weed all over the farm. We rnaped a harvest of weeds. The facet was practically abandoned.

Powderly for vice-president. I can say in behalf of Gen. Weaver, that ha was a brave soldier: I became acquainted with him in 1801 when he led the Second Iowa Infantry to victory in the gallant charge at Fort Donelsoa where the heavy timber was thrown do-s the hill with the limbs all sharp ened, to binder the piorress, wnn all the obstacles thrown in tne way. Gen. Weaver gained and held the fort, and after the war we li ed in the same town three years. He was as zealous in the interests of the people as he was in putting down the war; he was in favor ef the greenbacks and a full le gal tender money which would satisfy all home demands. This kind of money would have saved us millions of interest and placed our na tion in good circumstances, and there would have been no 8000 millionaires to sap the life of the nation. There would have been no uprising of the peo ple demanding justice. There would not have been any need of calling on the patriotism of all loyal citizens to stand against combined capital which is the downfall of all nations. Mr. Editor, I will state for the in terenis of the readers of your paper. I was in the war from the first to last, and during ttiis my wife paid 00 cents for muslin and 13.00 for a calico dress. Whilo wo were striving to sive the nation, would some of our would be leaders rise up and tell us why this in justice to the boys who wore the biuo and why it is still continued? When we look around and see a board of three within a radius of sixty miles all over the country getting big pay for their service! to examine the soldiers apply ing for pensions, wo remember it only took one to examine thousands for the service and still Injustice goes on.
