The Third parly is always appealing

Ms. Peek is running is in favor of tbe
government ownership of railroads,

should be ran by private corp"rations.
New let the Third party swallow that
portion of the records.
The celebrated Daniel O'Connell,
of Ireland, in his fight agairat the High
Tariff Corn Laws in 1843, uttered the
truth when he said:
“But what is the meaning of protec
tion ? It means an additional sixpence
for each loaf; that is the Irish of it. If
he had not the protection, tbe loaf would
sell for a shilling, but if he has protec
tion it will sell for one and sixpence.
Protection is the English for sixpence;
and what is more, it is the English for
an extorted sixpence. The real mean
ing of Protection, therefore, is robbery
—robbery of the poor by the rich.”

ALL SORTS OF PARAGRAPHS.
When we charge Mb. Pefk with in

One by one the evidences of Mr.

Watson desired, however, to create a
sensation and he has succeded.
The Homestead troubles have cott a
great deal of money—just how much
it would be difficult to estimate. Per

The hot wave which passed over the

It is hoped tbe back bone of the heated

to say in regard to free silver:
Free coinage, and all other rightful

through the Democratic party, if we

the democrats we have an immense
popular majority iu the union and can
