We have had very trice raiiis and our

Dr. A. M. llaines has just finished his

the cotton that cornua, at 81.15 per bale.
He has a tine grist mill also, connected
with his gin, which is very convenient to
the public.
Look out, Pops; Wilson says he is go¬

better begin to hustle, if what Wilson

COMMUNICATION
Mr. Bditor:—Dm may publish these
few remarks in your paper if you deem them
wai t by of note:
1 have asked several democrats why they
stick to the old party, and I have never yet
removed but one answer, and that was: “It
will not do to cast pearl before swine." I
then asked what party did he call the swine.
He said he would leave t hat for me to de¬
cide. So I have decided that the old demo¬
cratic party is the swine, and the kind which
h>ves chicken.
You may put up an old sow and feed her
well, and then she will steal one hundred
chickens extra per month, So it is with
the old democratic party;—pay them big
wages and then they will steal one hundred
dollars extra por month.
So I agree with the democrat that
will not do to cast pearls before swine.” W
have but one pearl, and it is pure democ¬
racy; and we have been casting it before the
swine for thirty years and they have tram¬
pled it under foot in their mad rush for Hie
“chicken.” till its face is unrecognizable,
an I hardl.v fit to appear in hell, much less
i ci. ilized country like ours,
ut tlii-honest people of our land and
cutuih-y have shoveled this priceless pearl
out of the mire of so-called democracy, and
have ‘-rubbed it up” until it begins to glow
with radiant light—and I hope that the
Peoples’ party will continue in the good
work till it shines forth like the noonday
sun, so that the old demos may look on and
weep while angels rejoice on beholding the
sight.
Now, brethren, lot us come together with
1 • r < t* cord and place our shoulders to the
win dl push forward, and we will gain
the victory, for the good Book says: “The
voice of the people is tho voice of God." And
God is our leader, and if we will follow Him
He will lead us safely through,

Judged by th® Record
The New York Tribune says
Parties are judged not by what t! 5 .i a*
were under moral obligations to do, .
by what they say they may do some
day, but by what they have done.
By this practical test, democracy is
the party of trusts and monopolies, It
has enacted a tariff bill which, according
to Chairman Wilson, will enrich the
sugar refiners to the extent of $40,000,
000. It lias abandoned the party ground
of free raw materials and repudiated the
platform pledge of a tariff for revenue
only, and legislated directly and shame
lessly in the interest of trusts and mo
nopolies. By that record it will be
judged, and not by the auti trust plank
of the Chicago platform, nor by the
campaign * speeches V against corporations r
ft!U * syndicates two years ago.
Tho loree of that record cannot be
altered by tho farcical free sugar bill
passed r by the house an hour after the
surrender to the senate; nor by any be
lated agitation iu the democratic press
against the sugar trust.
Democracy is the party of trusts and
monopolies.

A LETTER OF 1863.
Tho following letter shows its re¬
lation to the Buel-IIazzani circulars,
and was, no doubt, couuected with
that glaring conspiracy:
Rothschild Bko’s., Bankers.
London, June 2:j, 1863
Messrs Ikleheimer, Morton and
Vaxdergould, Xo. 3 Wall Street,
New York, U. S. A.
Dear Sirs:—A. Mr. John Sherman
has written us from a town in Ohio,
U. S. A., as to the profits that may be
iness made under in tho National Banking bus¬
a recent act of your con¬
gress, a copy of which ayt accompa¬
nied his let‘er. Apparently this act
has been drawn upon the plan form¬
ulated hero last summer by the Brit¬
ish Bankers’ Association and by that
association recommended to our
American friends as one that if en¬
acted into law, would prove highly
profitable to tho banking fraternity
throughout Sherman the world.
31 r. declares that there
has never before been such an op¬
portunity for capitalists to accumu
v. as that piesentedby this
fit. nd that the old plan of (State
i- is so unpopular, that the
new scheme will, by mere contrast,
bo more favorably regarded, notwith¬
standing the fact that it gives the
National Banks an almost absolute
control of tho national finances.
“The few who can understand the
system,” he says “will either be so
interested in its profits, or so depend
ent on its favors, that therUli be no
opuosition from that class, while on
tho other hand, the great body < l
tho people, mentally incapable ot
compredending the tremendous ad¬
vantages that capital o’ rives from
tho system, will beai it burdens
without complaint, and perhaps with¬
out is inimical even suspecting that tho system
to their interests.”
Blease advise us fully as to this
matter, and also, state whether or
not you will be of assistance to us,
if wo conclude to establish a Na¬
tional Bunk in the city of New York.
If you are acquainted with Mr. Sher¬
man (ho appears to have introduced
the National Banking act), wo will
be glad to know something of him.
If we avail ourselves of tho informa¬
tion he furnished, we will of course
make due compensation. Awaiting
your reply, we are,
Your Respectful Servants,
Rothchild Brothers,
County Court.
Last Monday was County Court day.
Several cases were brought before his
Honor Judge W. A. Scott.
Among the cases that were called was,
“The State vs. Moon-eyed Mule.”
Now, this may cause some iudigna
tion to brood in the breast of the mem¬
bers of the society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals, and they might think
that the courts should have nothing to
do with said animal.
But, when a mule has conducted liim
lti a manner to be “pulled” by the town
marshal, and then after one of the citi¬
zens of said town was kind enough to
take the mule out of the “jug,” and
whereas the court had commanded said
mule to be and appear at said court, and
whereas said mule failed to see it that
way, wo believe that the court had the
right to fiue said “baalam” $37.50 and
cost, for contempt of court.
