THE TRAMPS ROMANCE

J HE store norch was ’ well filial. The chronic loafer was there as usual, lounging upon the bench, hacking away at the hard oa k with his heavy jackknife. Sealed by him were the Grand Army of the Republic man, the tinsmith and the miller. The Pennsylvania Dutchman leaned stupid-

■jr against the doorpost, while the ■ramp was stretched easily across the Boor. A light summer shower had the wanderer into the shelter Ks the porch roof for a fe w hours. K“Was you ever disappointed in ■ore?” inquired the chron c loafer ■ocularly of the traveler, at which ■he rest of the party laughed heartily. ■ The tramp brought the butt of his yeavy hickory stick down upon the Boor with such vigor as to raise a Kina 11 crowd of dust from the cracks. Kind replied: “Wull! Have I? Jest ■ “Come tell us about it, ole feller,” Kuled the tinsmith and the chronic Koafer. K “Not muchy, wull I.” K “We an t surprised at yer havin' Kie’n disappointed,” said the Grand Briny of the Republic man. “But et's Ker persumption ketches me. What’s ■her name?” ■ “I called her Emily Kate,” replied ■he tramp, wiping a soiled tear from Rhe corner of one of his eyes with his Huger. “She’ll alius be Emily Kate Kto me, though to other folks she an’t nothin’.” K “Where does she live?” interrogated ■the miller skeptically. K “Es youpe gentlemen keeps quiet Km' don’t ast so many questions,” said ■he tramp, "I tell yer all ’bout et. ■Yer see, et come like this. ’Bout ■hree years ago I was workin’ through ■lms valley towards Snyder county, ■tn* one fine day—et was one o’ them ■lays when yer feels like aettin' down Km’ jest doin’ nothin’—l come through ■his here town an’ went up the main ■road about two mile tell I come ter Kh* Red hill.

He place:! one hand upon his ragged breast and gazed over the valley through tear-filled eyes. “Now quit your blubberin’,trampy,” cried the loafer, “an’ git ter the en’ of this'ere yarn.” The traveler wiped his eyes upon his eoat sleeve and continued: “Wull, as 1 lay there watchin’ her so still and quiet I began to think.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

A MOST STUPENDOUS FRAUD AND SWINDLE. The American People Have Drank Too Deep at the Fount of Liberty to Submit to Emlavemnt by the Bond Schemes of Europe. The interest bearing public debt is a burden which never ought to have been imposed upon the nation. It is the most stupendous fraud and swindle ever perpetrated upon a free people. It was conceived in fraud, and brought fourth in iniquity. It was a scheme to rob 40,000,(nt0 of people after they had emancipated 4,000,000 at the sacrifice of rivers of blood and millions of treasure. Before the legal tender act bad passed the threshold of legislation, it was met by the money sharks of Wall street. * * * We will show you how and why they opposed it. We are told that on the 11th of January, only four days after the introduction of the bill, the wolf-howl that had during the time, echoed from bank to ban:;, culled to Washington a convention of the money power, consisting of four delegates from New Y’ork banks, three from Philadelphia and three from . Boston. * * * What arguments were used, or what undue influences were brought to bear upon the law-makers of the government will probably never be known. Every greenback that went out to fight the nation's battles was accompanied by a bond shark, to gobble it up, as soon as it uad performed its service. The act of 1862, athorizing the issue of the first 8150,000,WO of greenback*, authorized $500,’XX),OOO of bonds to absorb them.

There was never a dry day, after the passage of the first legal tender act, but what the government was in poslessiou of all the money it needed, of its own creation without borrowing a dollar or selling a bond. The only object of the bond was to enable the money sharks again to get eontrol of the money of the country, which they never could do without the bond. The government established the fact that it could meet all its obligations. purchase all its supplies and defray every' expense by its own legal tender; and if so, what wliat was the necessity of borrowing?

You answer that the bonds were lecvsaary -to absorb the excess, occasioned by the extraordinary demands of Wav. : I deny that there was an excess. Let only him dare ussert it who had more than be had use for. Even if ’there was an excess, thi bonds did riot (lhninish It.' The excess' has only'been 1 ia'aferred from the l ocke-s of laborers ' and wealth pro lucth's. .to those of usurers, importer, indf international dealers. Every bond is u.-ied as money. The;. *re used by English capitalists to bui American 7 eott’ rn and bread stuffs, ami by ueu.ora to purcuusu im _ ports.- ; ■ . Just m the proportion as t he people's money bits been Coritracti d. that of the money king trts been inflated. That their inflated paper bond money may.be current all over the wprld, they require it to druw interest, and that they .maybe relieved of the burden .of ‘.such interest they compel labor anxl ils . 'pioducers to pay all the takes. :•

The difference -to the people’of Ann-r-ica >.etween the greenbacks before tiiey were ’.cimyerted into bonus ind the bonds, is as follows; The fiftet-a.hbfadred million dollars of greenbacks eai-ueo their owners nothing while lying file. ' In bonds they earn their owners fully as much, wlril j ’ resting in their safes. The people and taxpayers got tired of this. If they me to be taxe/l to support the government they ehiim the benefits f the government and taxa tion. \ 1 hen bunds arc given for he loan of money, and <hut money ciicu* la ted among the people, they euu aiti.ru to bear the burdens of .he debt; but when such bonds are given, to absurd snd destroy the p ie's money, thi s creating new Luiuvua, by ucstroying the very m«*ans necessary to bear those already exi-ting, the sufferers will refuse to suomit to the outrage. It matters no what the resi It might be, the American people have drank too deep at the fount of Jberty, to submit to be enslaved by bond fraud schemes of Europe.—Labor and Finance Revolution Give the people a vote on the dertrucii n of irreenbacks an.l t.iey will not be uestroyed.

Typewriters Like to Be Petted.

Typewriter girls are said to f-o.v attached to their machines, and to roga> d them almost as much in the light o iivmg creatures to be peited and managed and judiciously di*eiplinyd as the traditional railroad engine rs of fiction do ti.eir locomotiv s. to which they invariably refer witn t.ie personal feminine pronoun. The typewri, ing young women deciare that their machines are as sensitive and subject to cnprice, ane that they know who is opera ing them as well as a dog knows i>s master, that they will sulk, and perhaps flare up aud refuse to work at all, under unskilled manipulation, and that they can be soothed into a complacent and obliging frame of mind again simply by the return of their usual manipulator.
