nothing more than a partial nlef
from some of tho more promioeni ana
too often scandalous abuws of swclal

The law does not siimeienny pro
tect a poor man la casting a vote In
any state of the union, declares the
Chicago SontinoL
The lawmaker am for the most
part rich men, or the tools of ricn
men. and they win no. icguiaui mr
the poor, or for those whose lonuonco
can promise neither wealth nor dis
tinction.
Thoir only care for the poor man
rights Is to abridge them. Jow tuon
bat is the lait and the only remooy
hk h the poor roan has against this
unlver-ui wrong?
ft Is in the ballot bo alone, "that
woodna scepter of tho sovereignty of
the people" It is in the right to vote
for prino.pte and Tor ine canaiuaie oi
bis choice, for the man be respects
and to whom he Is willing to confide
his dearest Interests. But the man
who holds his note of hand for money
that he Is now unable to pay; tbe
man who owns the house which shel
ters bis family, or the man upon
hoso breath ho is dependent for that
employment which gives bread and
butter to his wife and children, stands
over the polls In person, or by a base
and mercenary whipper-in. ana ne is
made to vote as these masters Dia.
Is not this the perfection ef slavery?
Is not this a condition more debased,
more truly and thoroughly degraded
than was that of the black man whose
weight in tbe ballot-box used to be
counted without the wretched mockery
of dragging the unwilling carcass to
tho polls? The poor slave took his
scourging in an outhouse, or far re
moved from the eyes of men; It is the
lineal descendants of the Pilgrim
fathers, who are led up in scores to
the polls, and under the broad gate
of all who wish to see, are made to
forswear their freedom, and obey
their political task-masters at the
crack of the whip.
Must It be so? Must we continue
in this debasing servitude? Can there
be no remedy found?
None none whatever, but to do
our duty manfully ut the polls.
Whilst the enomlos of the people
oommand and eontrol those votes of
the people there can be no hope.
aaVVe enjoin It, therefore upon every
man who Is entitled to a vole, to put
at all ha tarda whenever his duty
may require It, a free and unbiased
rote. '
Olf any man presumes to oversee, to
dictate or to threaten, foil the scoun
drel to the earth at once. Then de
posits your vote, and submit In the
spirit of a martyr to wcatever pen
alty the law may inflict
belt-defense is always justtnaDie.
Can there be an oui-aslon presented
to a man in the ooourrenoes of a whole
life, where self-defense is more India
pensfble than on this occasion? A
man slaps your choet or spits in your
faoe. and no one possessing the ordi
nary spirit of a man will condemn
you for inflicting a prompt and severe
chastisement But here is a man, if
such a wretch doserves the name of
man. who invites you to become a
traitor, who insults you by the
grossest of Intimations, that you are
base and oowuraiy enougn to son
your birthright, that you are con
temptible enough through mercenary
consideration a to abandon the lost
hope and stay of freedom.
The law afford you no protection
against his Insolence, and no refor
mation of the abuse need be hoped for
whilst the offenders go unpunished.
If a resort to physical force may
ever bo defendod, and If suoh resort
may be just filed in one exigency
alone under our professedly free insti-
tutiona does not this case present
that one exigeno ?
Let the worklngmen and farmers,
let all laboring and all poor men re
flect well on this subject; let them
unite to support eaoh other, If need
ba in the most desperate efforts to
nreserve this right the palladium of
their liberty, free ana unresirainoa.
It is the most sacred of nil their
duties. Iet them be assured that a
few wholesome examples in our great
cities, would forever abate the wicked
and un9iiiportable nuisance of wsy-
laving and harassing honost voters by
the DlmDs ol ill gotton wealth, and
basely abusod power.

Is there a true-hearted American
who will obioct to such a resort to
the arm of f.esh? Is there a Christian
who can? It so we refer them to the
greatest and best exempler:
And the Jewish pasnover was iu

lemand found In the temple those
who had sold oxen and sheep and
doves, and the changers of money

Question Answered.
A correspondent sends the Topcka
Advocate a series of questions tc
which he desires answers:
Question Why was the exception
clause placed upon the greenback?
Answer To enable the gold bugj
to buy them at an lmmenso discount
and invest them In latere t bearing
bonds at par a speeulation in the
profits of whioh those who made the
law have shared.
Question Is it a fact that thero
was a law on the statute books roquir
log duties and intere t to be paid In
coin?
Answer That was the Import of
tho exception clause ltsalf. The green
back was made a legal tender for all
publio and private debts except duties
onimports and interest on tbo public
debt" The effect of the exception
was just this: the importer was com
polled to have gold to pay duties. He
had to buy of those who were hoard
ing, for the purpose and pay, in free a
back whatever price was aslrad for
it Tho gold broker took the green
backs, which he reseived at immense
discounts, and Invested them In gov
eminent bonds at par. The importo
paid the gold he had purchased at
heavy premium, to the government
tor duties at par. Ihe government
then paid It back to the gold broker
at par, as interest on tho bonds he had
purchased with the greenbacks, and
was then ready to sell it again to the
next importer at nnether premium lor
more greenbacks wi,th which to buy
more bonds. In this manner gold
circulated in a circle' as long as Ibei-e
wore any bonds in the market. la
the mean time the importer added the
premium he paid for gold to the price
of his gooda and tho consumer of the
goods footed the bill.
Question If the currency was con
tracted, what did Hie people get in re
turn for it?
Answer They got an Interest bear
ing alebt saddled upon them, which is
noUyet paid.
Question Does the money power
hurt the people, and if so. in what
wny? , .
Answer bome of the ways are in
dicated in the answors to the former
questions. It also hurts the people iu
extortionate Interest charges, and
transportation rates, in combinations
for the monopoly of the business in
terests of the country, in the concen
tration of wealth in few hands, and in
a thousand other wavs too numerous
to mention.
Quoation Is there anything money

Yea anything is money that con

Another number entitled, "We Have

bv the author to Edward Bellamy and
contains six Biauzua,
with the sweaters, the landlords, the
speculators, the "modern hignwaymen
and the usurers. We give the second
stanza and chorus:
Vou have heard of the wealth of the Astors,
Of princes supported by rent;
And vou wonder who made them the masters

only be compared with the hitherto in

words were nrsi wriiien. xuia suug
we call from tho opening words, "Sons
of America."
No. 3 of our series, music by Prof.
Frank and words by Mr. Gibson, is en
titled, "God Save the People." The
first stanza and chorus are as follows:
God save the king: so were the people taught.
Till freedom, came to earin, to sum muur.
They lived, thev died, they sunerea, sweat
ana iougat,
To please a despot and advance a throne.
But now we sing-
God save the people: the o.mmon people,
God save, God save the people.
Our new sonc. entitled. "The Flag of
Liberty," by Mr. Gibson, is joined to a
nw natriotio air. nneiv aaupteu to n,
composed by Mr. F. W. Hohmann. The
first stanza and cnorus are as ionows.

riebraska, tne singer .
take Campaninl'a pu e-e, the principal
part In the recent rendering of Han
del's Messiah, is composer of the splen
did air and chorus for the above and
his voice will give to It finest render
ing at Omaha.
Another song which will prove a
happv hit, unique and powerful, is tne
one Mr. Gibson has named "GetOff the.
Earth." It was suggested to btm wnne
writing bv the recent news item, stat
ing that the Landlords' association of
Bo.ton had blacklisted, for mutual ben
efit, 1,200 of their poorest tenants. The
first verse and chorus ai-e as follows:
No trespass here! Get off theearta!
You own no land upon it :
You've lot for aye your right of birth,
And we hy'inlght have won tt.
We landlord all have got you down,
A li-t f nonrest tenant;
So climb the air. or Jump and drown,
And thus do dyln penance.
Get off. get off. get off the earth!
Our titles prove we own It;
The Hhadows are fleeing away;
The light of the dawn is Increasing
And evil slinks back from the day.
As a bridegroom that leaveth his chamber,
Rejoicing in strength for the race.
Thou foment! thoucomest! thou comest!
And Heaven is seen in thy face.
Its glory has gtlded the mountains.
And soon, where the spoiler has trod.
We shall follow thy feet to the fountains
And beautiful gardens oi ioa.
These are but samples of what we
have now in the printers' hands and
there are more exceedingly fine to fol
low. One ready to send away, by Mr.
Gibson and Prof. Frank, is entitled
"The Alarm Beat." It has in it the
arum heat call to the ranks. The first
stanza follows:
United we stand ! Do you he:vr it,
Ve workers who struccgle alone?
Iu union is strength, ami they fear it,
Who reU?n on monopoly's throne.
When workers united demand it,
Denning and voting for right,
No power upon earth can withstand it,
No law of the tyrants we Gght.
Unite, then, unite.
O workers, with ballots, unite!
These sonirs will be a factor in the
comin campaign. They will be sung
Irotu ocean to ocean, ana irom janes to
gulf. Both words an d mufic art new
in nearly every caso, and they will give
new Impetus to the reform movement.
A dozen of these songs are now in the
hands of the printer and will be out by
the 4th of Jnly.
Address all orders for these songs to
