He says he knows no reason for it. The most curious part of all is that he talks away from town as plainly as any man.

THE CONSTITUTION is among the few great newspapers publish^ ing daily editions on the side of the people as against European Domination of our money system, and it heartily advocates; 1st. The Free Coinage of Silver, j Believing that the establishment of ft •ingle gold standard will wreck the pros^ perity of the great masses of the people, though it may profit the lew who have already grown rich by federal protection, and federal subsidy. 1 2d. Tariff Reform. Believing that by of the throwing world and our port* levy¬ open to markets ing only enough import duties to pay the actual expenses of the government, the people will be better served than by making them pay double prices fo*i piotection’s sake. 3d. An Income Tax. Believing that those who have much property should bear the burdens of, government in the same proportion t<^ those who have little. The Constitution heartily advocates a Expansion of l the Currency Until there is enough of it in circulation to, do the ligitirnate business of the country.
