The Monitor is feeling the fear-
ful and Ayithering effects, of that
4th of July boycott; one subscriber
bus stopped his paper and some
eight or ten new ones have tilled
the chasm. Try some other do<lge,
Jonathan, your little scheme did
not work. You can not dictate to
democrats what papers they shall
patronize. Such dictatorship and
petty tyranny played mil in this
country when the Alien and Sedi-
tion laws were repealed eighty-
seven years ago.

If brother .lonathairl'usseII and
•his political partner, Billie Farmer,
•expected to see the Monitor sus-
and "shut
day's labor. This wotdd
be the logical result. Therefore
Bill Fanner goes around over the
country sneering at the' Mills bill
and turning up his nose at
democratic measures, and preach-
ing anarchy, communism and
pessimism, spreading discontent
amongst ignorance.
Now Billie claims to be the
friend of the laboring man—includ-
ing the farmer. If he is such he
ought to help diffuse information,
and especially such information as
the people need to aid them in
properly understanding pending
legislation. Now Farmer, in sneer-
ing at the Mill* bill, ridicules the
idea that such a small reduction as!
seven per cent, on import duties!
will afford any relief. Yet he fails
| to state that it reduces taxes about
sixty millions of dollars. Sixty
