most carefully hoarded, a memoranda of
some toilet aitides which George Wash

is euriosly quaint:

Six pairs of fine cotton hose.

vagaries and whims of fashion just like
any modern lady who makes any preten

Whom do you work tor?
Is he a republican or it Democrat?
I‘fa" Democrat, why do you work with
one so opposed to you in poliics ?
Why do you not engage in business
witli those of your own political laith *
Would not this be better ?
Can you not find employment miong
them? It you cannot, have yo) inked
yomsell why is this ho ?
It you work lor a man—we appeal lo
' you as men—do you think it lawful to
injure his interests ?
If you do not in'ure them directly,
ought ybu tc give others the power to
do it ?
It you weie to tend cattle, would you j
lend the g\ui given you to protect them !
to some thief to kill any he pleased ?
llow is it, then, that you so readily
combine with others lo put in office men
who rob your employei ? Are you aware
that when your employer is robbed, you
are robbed to a certain extent also? If
your employer thrives, you thrive with
him. It he is pinched, how can he pay
you good wages ?
If you put up men who tax your ern
p'oyer and yourself only to enable them
to steal and live finely, are you liouesl ?
And have you not allowed your votes to
do this again and again ?
You call yourself a Republican. Your
party is about to make nominations. It
men are named whom the State can trust
your hands arc clean ; but if the old
story is repeated, and swindles, cheats,
or incoinpeteut persons arc put forward
by your party and you cling to them,
do you think your employer can trust
you with hts interests f Ought he!
