step which will cause them great
distress.
We, whose business it is to study
finances, and are therefore capable
of determining euch questions, know
there is at this time TOO MUCH
MONEY. Millions are now ready in
this city to be loaned on call, with
good collateral euch as government
bonds, where it is really needed, at
remunerative rates. Your methods
are such as to frighten all money
lenders (for nothing is bo easily
scared as money.) No one can tell
what laws your candidate (if elected
1-1 - 1 1 .
may suggest; wniio even now tue
laws are all against our people. We
are forced to loan money at euch
rates as we can get. If we cannot
get 10 per cent we take 9; if we can
not get 9 we take 8 and in peaceful
times even lower, and it is difficult
even then to keep our money at
work. But what do your working
men eaj If they canuot get a dollar
a day they refuse to work, while they
ought to take 75 cents or even T0
cents so that we may keep them at
work. You ought to teach them

extravagant; they buy meat four or

lice is one of the most nourishing
of foods; it is CHEAP and can be
aised iu endless quantities, but
workingmen avoid it as a general
ool. They eat wheat bread when
rye is much more suitable. These
ideas grow out of wrong education,
which you, ray dear sir, are assisting
only to their future disaster.
Mr. Hanna. if he wins the election
(and all intelligent men of the east
hepe and believe he will), will cer
tainly inaugurate a much bet'er sys
tem for the lewer classes. He will
try to take the money question and
tariff out of politics, which shou.a
vertiog them from their labor. He '

luiunB mere are loo many uouaavs,
and especially excursions to some
what long distaucee, where these
people meet and exchange exciting
converse upon subjects such as we
have referred to, and which they are
not capable of understanding; be
sides thia they should be at work;
they spend too much money, often
goiDg to a hotel and laying out an
entire day's income on one dinner.
Gentlemen like Mr. Astor or Mr.
Rockefeller, who, by application aud
economy, have amassed a compe
tence, never would think of spend
ing a day's income on one meal.
How can working men expect to in
dulge in luxuries, idle away their
time aud prosper? We believe for
their own good, if some beneficent
law could be paased which would
limit excursions aud confine the
lower classes to the township in
which they live, they would be much
better off at the end of the year.
These local laws, we presume, must
be put into effect by each state, say
through the governor:, but the gov
eriiors could be appointed by com
mittees of local bankers and manu
factuiers resident within the state,
r.Dd we think if the present election
is carried out by the honest people
and Hanna is successful that by 1900
the people themselves would unani
mously vole for euch changes in the
state constitutions as would relieve
them trom the turmoil and worry
over elections. Committees could
act quickly aud noiselessly, in fact
bankerr, money, people aud manu
facturers are only too happy t be
let alone, once they have good laws
and good men in control.
The people west should be im
pressed with the fact that our peo
pie here cau take care of themselves,
eome what may. We are concerned
for only the clasaes that labor,
whether in the factory, on the rail
roads or on the farms. It is coating

The southeast quarter of the northeast quarter
of section eight ie in township thirty -nine (.?.'
of range thirty-one (31), and that they hold lh
possession of the same. That the title to lh
same has vested iii them and those under whom
tliev claim bv the statute of limitation under
the provisions of (Ms-tion !T70 of chapter 1011 ot
the Key. Stats, of Missouri (lssin. That Un
equitable title emanated from the government
ot tlie t nited states more man ten vears prior
hereto, and more than thirty-one years prior t
the bringing of this action. That these plaintiff
and their grantors have had the posKcslon of
and paid Die taxes on said lands for more than
thirty-one years prior to this date.
Plaintiffs aver that one Vincent Iye acquired
title to said land by conveyance made to him (i
the year iNJOand has never made convex anee in
legal form to any one since said time," and of
record appears to have and hold an interest In
said lands. That the said Vincent Iye depart
ed tliis life in the year lst'd, and said lands hav.
been held adversely to him and the defendant
herein since said date. That the defendants.
Benjamin Pye, l'riscilla I've and Mariah ly
are children ol said Vincent Dye and if living
would have an interest in the subject matter of
this suit. That if they are dead, then their
heirs would be likewise interested in the sub
ject matter of this action, in the same way and
for the same reason. That the said defendant
are not residents of this state, and if the said
Benjamin, Priscilla and Mariah Dye are dead,
their legal heirs are unknown to these pIuiuliffH
and for that reason their names can not be in
serted herein and their respective interest
more definitely set forth. That their said un
known heirs are not residents of this ante. That
the line of grantors through whom these plain
tiffs claim have had the op:oj and notorious tsis-
session of said land for more than thirty-one
years as against the said Vincent Dye aforesaid
and the defendants herein, and have paid th;
taxes thereon during said period.
Wherefore plaintiffs pray that this court mak:

land aforesaid to tie vested in these plaintiffs by
limitations under the provisions of the statut
aforesaid, and for all other and further relief.
