Who are Responsible.

The apathetic citizen who can tolerate such atrocious outaages as the selling of insidious, fascinating beverages to poison and debauch the people with crimeproducing tendencies, to furnish an alluring poison that will produce disease, death, and destruction, not only deserves no favor, but should be denounced and held up to public odium. Those who perpetrate these outrages should be made to know what it is to have the execration of all good and patriotic citizens. These infamous dealers in liquid poison and their aiders and abettors (those who uphold them with their influence or votes) should suffer the severest penalty that law can inflict; because not only are they apathetic, but they are virtually accessories to the most dangerous of all crimes. Nothing can be more detrimental to all the best interests of society than the sale of this fiendish poison which instigates the most heinous crimes, brngs its victims to the lowest state of moral degradation, and consigns them to the most horrible misery that human beings can endure.—From “A Policy of Infamy,” in Demorest's Magazine for ApriJ.

The Republicans in the Senate are making a last death struggle with the tariff, trying to hold it for the benefit of the protected manufacturers, and to use in the coming election for campaign purposes. Forgetting the fact, that the tariff is twice as high as it was at the close of the war, and at the same time we are not paying our laboring men one half as much as we did then, though we are told it is exclusively for their benefit.— Union Lamar, Mo. Don’t be afraid your old party boss will have to let go his hold on you some of these days. If you are a man and not a mouse you will let go first. You owe the old parties nothing; they are doing all can to destroy you. Why stick to them? Assert your right, and thick and act for yourself, and insist on ,your own right to live. Spurn another’s attempt to control you. Control yourself.—People’s Pu, per, Versailles, Ind. B. F.
