the conversion of Grover and the Democratic outfit to People’s party ideas. “None of these things move us” or concern us. England is a creditor nation, and therefore finds it advantageous to maintain the gold standard, and have others to, for then her pay comes in the dearest dollars or cheapest commodities. The war or rather the cussedness of our rulers after the war, made us a debtor nation, and being such, it is our interest and right to pay in the cheapest dollars consistent with national honor, and that does not violate the the law of equity. The silver dollar was and is that kind of a dollar, and Shylock's attempt to deprive us must never be permitted to succeed.
Bro. Marshall says: “I pay 8180 street tax. a greater sum than the whole Pilot gang will pay for all purposes in twenty years.” Isn't this argument? Doesn’t this set the Republican fair and square before the world and show the Pilot up in its true light? Shame, Bro. Marshall. so little, so silly and from you, a man, a pretended editor. Had Marshall said he receives more tax money out of the city and couuty treasuries in a month than the whole “Pilot gang” receives in twenty years he would have been one hundred per cent, nearer the truth. Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, according to the latest reports, is nearly completed, and thus far it shows that the President-elect has selected the very best men for the positions to be found in the country. —Kentland Democrat. Every one is a lawyer, and some of them big corporation lawyers, too. Not a farmer, business man or true representative of labor in the gang, but it is just right, the best that could be done. Parade hell in its worst form and label it Democracy, and the Democrat would declare it perfection, the “best thing out.”
Before another issue of the Pilot, it will be the unspeakable pleasure of the people to change off and begin to chew the other link of sausage, but they will soon find it made of the same old monopoly dog. From tho smell, taste and texture they would be wholly unable to tell when they let loose of the one and seized the other, so to befriend stupid humanity they have considerately set the day and fixed tho hour, and it is Saturday, March 4th, 12 o'clock, noon. A change of names is not a change of policies. Mr. Cleveland's administration will be in happy accord with that of Mr. Harrison.
. George E. Marshall in his attack last week on the local editor of this paper took occasion to shamefully abuse and maliciously misrepresent the Pilot Publishing Co., its political editors, subscribers, patrons, etc. If Mr. Marshall and .Mr. Clark have differences we are quite willing that they fight them out with, the pen, but to make all connected with this paper parties in the muss we think is unfair and uncalled for.
i In his wrath Marshall allowed | himself to say the proprietors of j the Pilot bulldoze and blackj mail our merchants, j How, this Pilot Publishing ' Co. is u business institution of | our town. One that is, we hope, trying to deal honestly and fairly with the public, Jts political views may not, of course, can not be acceptable to all, but itjs business transactions can. and, in fact must be acceptable to its patrons if it prospers. If we are bulldozers, blackmailers,, dishonest, and financially un* sound, as the Republican had from time to time tried to make appear then Marshall is doing his duty exposing us. If the opposite of this is true, then he is laying himself liable to prosecution. From the first to the
