A Black Record.

The Denver Road says of John Sherman: “In twenty-five years he has ruined not less than 1,000,000 business men, made 500,000 prostitutes, sent 100,000 people to insane asylums, driven 50,000 to suicide graves and to cap the climax, openly proclaims his loyalty to Rothschild’s scheme of enslaving the rest of the nation through bonds. If ever a man lived who has earned the everlasting contempt and vengeance of American citizens, that man is Machiavelli Sherman, the most gigantic robber and most brazen tory American soil has produced since Benedict Arnold quit the business of traitor.” And the worst of it is that there are Americans who will continue voting for a party that is in favor of perpetuating conditions that have ruined so many. We are almost tempted sometimes to believe that the republic is a failure. It looks so when the people will allow themselves to be robbed and not lift their hands against the robbers.—Tarkio Independent
