to Moyer: "You must stay in prison

wo cannot grant it to those theroto

Our fathers came here as exiles from
a tyrant king. Their birthright of
liberty was denied them by a horde of
petty tyrants that infeBted tho land
sent by tho king to loot, to plunder,
and to oppress. Arlbtrary arrests
were mado; and judges, aspiring to
tho smilo of the prince, refused by
"pitiful evasion" tho writ of habeas
corpus. Our people wore banished;
thoy wore denied trial by jury; they
were deported for trial for pretended
offenses; and thoy finally resolved to
suffor wrong no more, and pledged
their lives, their ' property, and their
sacrod honor to secure tho blessings of
liberty for themselves and for us,

Congress adjourned more than eight
weeks ago and yet no later than a
week ago tho last number of the Con
gressional Record was' issued. This
number contained several speeches by
republicans on campaign topics,' and
while they were never delivered, they
were given a place In the Record by
virtue of a general leave to print. If
republican members of congress can
write speeches eight weeks after the
adjournment of congress and have
them printed In the Record, they can
do so eight months afterward, and the
Record can bo used as a republican
campaign book sent out under a gov
ernment frank, postage free. Thb
grafty old party has become extreme
ly versatile in its methods, but, real
ly, "we iiamrt expected it to become so
cheap as to try and beat the poor de
fenseless government on postage bills.

"In one department a half dozen

should piclcup one of thorn on the bat

would say it had been lying there for
many, many years.'
"In a department like a blacksmith
shop, men in leather aprons stood in
the glare of flaming forges, heating
and hammering swords and gun bar
rels and suits of armor. These pieces,
when the men took them up, looked
new. Afterward they looked very
old; they had become real antiques.
" 'Our relic mill employs a hundred
hands," the foreman said. 'We are
always busy. We don't know what
slack times are here. Only yesterday

'where certain records were kept.
Martin knew that she was writing
the history of the town, but he did
