The democrats of the tenth district are beginning to look about for a candidate for Congress next fall. Don't bother yourselves gentlemen, on that subject, for the people of the tenth district believe in protection to American workmen and industries, and will re-elect Wm. M. Kinsey by an overwhelming majority. The Tenth District will never again be represented by a democratic free trader.—Crystal Mirror.
Just hold your breath a space, brother, and next fall's election will tell you a different tale. The utter failure of your party to carry out its promises to the deluded farmers and workingmen has so opened their eyes as to the blessings (!) of your plutocrat tariff laws, that you will think you have been run over by a cyclone, next November. What! You hypocritically whine to the workingman, feed him on a scant dollar a day, and then tell him he is blessed in the tariff which fills the pockets of his rich employer at the rate of forty to fifty per cent. per annum? Indeed, you must take the American laborer and farmer for a thrice sodden fool, to attempt to so play again upon his credulity.
