not cypress, but orange blossoms; not re

Snail be married.” I propose to name some
of the suitors who are claiming the hand of
this republic. This land is so fair, so beauti
ful, so affluent, that it has many suitors, and
it will depend much upon your advice
whether this or that shall be accepted or re
jected.
In the first place I remark: There is a
greedy, all-grasping monster who comes in
^is suitor seeking the hand of this republic,
And that monster is known by the name of
monopoly. His sceptre is made out of the iron
<>f the rail track and the wire of telegraphy,
He dees everything for his own advantage
and for the robbery of the people. Things
have gone on from bad to worse, until in tho
three Legislatures of New York, New Jersey
an l Pennsylvania, for the most part,
monopoly decides everything. If monopoly
favors a law it passes; if monopoly opposes r a
law it is rejected.

their goods fifteen are cent, less if they carrying

as well as very important puts

But monopoly is not so easily caught now
as when,dining the term of Mr. Buchanan,

that thirteen of the Senators from thst State
received $175, 000 among them. Sixty mam
bars of the lower house of that State re

ernor of the State received $50,000, his clerk
received $5,000, the Lieutenant-Governor Legist- re

That thing on a larger or smaller
scale is all the time going on in
some of tho States of the Union, but it isnot
that the overshadowing curse of the United
States to-day is Sir nopoly. Ho puts his

have nothing to say against capitalists,
