SOUTHERN MERCURY.
July 21, 1892
REFORM THOUGHT.
Corsicana (Texas) Truth: Relieve the
people by increasing the currency.
*
« *
Nashville (Tenn.) Toiler: Men of the
South, shake off the fetters of party sla-
very and be free.
*
* *
Dallas (Texas) Courier: Good charac-
ter, good citizenship and good govern-
ment are clopely related.
*
* *
Lamar (Mo.) Union: Put your vote
where it will have a beneficial influence
on finance and transportation.
*
« *
Dallas (Texas) News: When the far-
mer bursts a clod with the eye of his hoe
he fancies he has mauled to atoms a po-
litical vampire.
*
* #
Philadelphia (Pa.) Justice: The thief
who defies the law, and the one who has
the help of it are not exactly twins but
they are of the same tribe.
*
* *
Indianapolis (Ind.) Sentinel: Lynch-
ing is fast becoming a national disgrace,
and unless it is soon checked it will soon
become a national menace.
#
* *
Birmingham (Ala.) Reformer: Elevate
the coming campaign to a contest over
issues, and do not repeat the usual de-
grading scramble for office.
Seattle (Wash.) People's Call: The
time when a political party can win upon
a campaign of prejudice is passed. The
people are reading with a vim.
#
# *
Philadelphia (Pa.) Justice: The tears
of poverty exhausted by toil in the gar-
den of plenty are a sandblast to the in-
scription on the Decalogue stones.
*
« *
Spokane (Wash.) World: Mediocracy,
talent or genius can get more pay in the
service of Mammon than working for the
glory of God or the comfort of man.
*
* *
Winnemucca (Nev.) Silver State: Plu-
tocracy must be nipped in the bud by
the ballot or the necessity will soon
arise to plug it in Mil bloom by the bul-
let. f*
St. Louis (Mo.) Forum: There are
some men who are so party blind that if
they were put in a sausage mill and
ground up they would come out yelling
for their "yellow dog" candidate.
* *
Philadelphia (Pa.) Justice: Charity to
able and willing workers is the sequel to
legalized robbery. Can we participate
in the one, then may we can get credit
for an exercise of the other.
*
« *
St. Louis (Mo.) Monitor: Old parties
do not grapple with new issues, but like
men who have passed the age of useful-
ness, they put in their time relating the
wonderful things they did in times gone
by.
*
* *
Philadelphia (Pa.) Justice: Direct tax-
ation will tell us how much we pay for
Ígovernment services. We insist on simi-
ar knowledge in other transactions.
Sponging industries would have a poor
show then. *
*
* *
Missouri Farmer: There is something
wrong with a system by which a man
produces something and sells it for one
dollar and is compelled to pay that dol-
lar for something some other man pro-
duced and sold for fifty cents.
*
* k
Ewing (Neb.) Advocate: Do not com-
plain of the hardships you endure; nor
that you are out of money and cannot
meet your bills; if you still persist in vot-
ing an old party ticket. Hard times and
plutocratic rule go hand in hand.
Temple (Texas) Forum: "In politics
anvthing is right so long as it is success-
ful," says a democratic leader. In
instruction of democratic delegates it
would be well to leave out the clause
"use all honorable means," and say "po-
litical means."
Dallas (Texas) Farm and Ranch: Pol-
iticians who have turned a deaf ear
to the people's demand for political re
form, and persist therein, will after a
while learn that it is too late to dodge
the lightning after hearing the thunder.
Chicago (111.) Express: There is in
Christendom 160 billion dollars of inter-
est-sucking debt pivoted on the gold
held by the Rothschilds and the Bank of
England. No wonder that John Sher-
man's picture hangs in the latter institu-
tion.
Buffalo (Mo.) People's Party: When a
man, with a good heart begins to think
seriously upon the present condition of
this country he is almost sure to become
an advocate of the third party principles.
A little thought along with goodness is
what it takes to make them.
Albion (Iowa) Pen and Plow: Don't
support any party that is too cowardly to
define itself upon the great issues of the
day. Straddling political issues and
wording platforms to read anything or
nothing to suit the occasion is not going
to satisfy the American people any
longer.
San Antonio (Texas) Stockman and
Farmer: When a gang robs a railroad
and get caught at it, they make it all
right by turning what is left over to the
owners of the road. If a horse thief
could get off that easy, the business
of horse stealing would be a good deal
safer.
Winnemucca (Nev.) Silver State: The
people's party believe in one flag, one
country, one destiny, free coinage and
non-intervention of the foreign powers in
the affairs of our republic. These prin-
ciples they are ready to maintain at the
ballot box, and if needs be at the cannon's
mouth.
Winnemucca (Net.) Silver State: Ne-
vada now ocoupies the proudest position
of any State in the union. With practi-
cal unanimity its people have repudiated
the nominees of the Minneapolis and
Chicago conventions and have sworn in
their righteous wrath that England shall
not longer rule in America with Nevada's
connivance or consent.
Spokane (Wash.) World: "Society for
the suppression of vice" is a strange
term. Did you evjr hear of "suppress-
ing" weeds? Well the writer did, and
this is the way it worked. A lazy farm-
er cut the tops of the weeds off with a
scythe and left the roots in the ground.
Were they suppressed? Oh, yes; for
about two days.
Kansas City (Mo.) Phalanx: The pres-
ent banking system, owned and controll-
ed by individuals and corporations, is a
gigantic scheme of robbery and spolia-
tion. If the function of banking was as-
sumed by the government or people, to
whom it belongs, the people could use
their own credit at cost and know that
their savings were absolutely secure.
Cincinnati (O.) Herald: Workingmen
are all right when it comes to swelling the
ranks of a torch light procession, for the
old'parties covering themselves with dust
and coal oil, while yelling themselves
hoarse for their masters. But the mo-
ment that he takes an active interest in
politics, reading, studying, thinking and
acting for himself, he at once becomes a
crank, socialist, anarchist and all round
bad man.
Pueblo (Col.) Crisis: Two carpenters
were bidding on a job. One was single,
the other with a fa'nily. Both were out
of work. The single man, haviug less
expense, under bid the other. The mar-
ried man and his family had to suffer,
because they could not live on as little as
a single man. Nobody to blame. Fact.
And this is the effect of the beautiful
system that the well-fed, well-dressed ex-
ploiter of labor loves. But its days are
numbered.
