crime the fusionists hnve made it so For the past eight years their chief en deavor has been to create the impression thnt tho men of wealth are to be de spised and hated by tho common people They have sought to convey tho impre6Fion that all tho wealth of the land was allied under the republican banner to crush the life out of the poor people They have insisted that the poor mnn haB no chance and that every opportunity for wealth or advancement is in the control of tho money owners With these as the cardinal principles of the fnsionists it is amnsing but no crime to notice them becoming wealthy and proving that their professions were bosh nt the same time That there are poor people in the republican party and wealthy ones in the fusion rnnkB bnt proves that there aro men able to form

he bets his seed time aud the use of his land against chinoh bugs grasshoppers dronth hail rust and otherwise takes a hundred chances that he can grow a crop If he buys a horse he bets the purchase price that he can mnke the animal repay his expendi ture and more too If a man digs a ditch he bets that the work he does is worth his pay which he sometimes loses and the mnn who employs him bets that he can make a profit on the job The woman who buys a hat bets that she will make a better appearance than her neighbor and if she doesnt she will consider the bet lost Those who get married bet that they can live happier married than single The man who invests in property bets that it is worth the money or more And so on through life it is all bet and the success ful better grows wealthy
