The value OF days wages is pre-
cisely what it will buy of the various
commodities of life. II it takes two
days wages to buy barrel of -four, it
matters but little to the workingmen
whether it costs flour or six dollars. 1t
is so much muscle and Drawn that
must be expended to accomplish a
given result. When, therefore, the
prices of commodities fall, the wages
Of the laborer are correspondingly in
creased, and when they are advanced,
as they have been by the Mckinley
bill, it takes just so many more days
of toll at the end Of the season to make
both ends meet. 1t does seem that
this proposition is SO simple that any
body can understand it, still we find
laboring men aiding by their vote a
party which is pledged to accomplish
this result simply to further enrich q
few millionaires who furnish the
cougar" for political campaigns.
IT is charged that the Republican
Central Committee is paying negroes
in Kansas City 40 cents each for
registering. Candidates stand outside
the office of the register, and each
negro who is under contract receives
a ticket with which he enters the Of
flee. A candidate inside the office
punches the ticket rs fast as the
negros register, and the punched
tickets are exchangeable for 40
cents each in room presided over by
another candidate. 1t is not insisted
on that negroes who register shall vote.
A colored mans name once on the
check list, should he decline to vote,
some other negro would vote for him.

Read and Reflect.

Walker-M -McElmoyle School will open it's
Winter Session Dec. 8, 1890. All parents,
and especially farmers, are requested to
investigate the merits Of this school. If
they intend to patronize it all, and want
to be Just to their children, they are beg
ged, entreated and urged to put them in
the first hour of the Session. Some peo-
pie have an idea that nothing of conse-
quence is done in school the first day. If
tho school doesn't do much the first day,
rest assured it never will do much. There
is no sense in taking vast deal Of time
in organizing school which has q good
graded system. The graded system is no
longer an experiment with the Walker
McElmoyle School, but an established
success. The course of study is fixed, and
each pupil knows into what class he is
going as soon as be sees his examination
papers and receives his report. Therefore,
there is no classifying to do except with
new pupils. The work begins as soon as
school opens; therefore, any one coming
in few days late stands at disadvantage
through the entire session. Often such
and feeling under-rated become disguised
with school hardships, and enter the busy
world with their undeveloped minds en-
cased in prejudice. Who Is responsible
for these unqualified citizens? these un-
fortunately early marriages? Often it is
that father who keeps his ambitious son
at home picking yellow cotton only two
weeks after the session opens. Often it is
that unwise mother who keeps her daugh-
tors at home few days to make some
new clothes to wear to school. In these
good times pupils standing in his
classes or in the estimation of his fellows
and teachers depends no longer on his
good clothes-not even his dainty lunch
will help him out. He ia measured by
what he has in his head and in his heart.
Parents, don't cause your own child to
feel snubbed by his comrades, not only
now but throughout life, just for O few
more days Of bis work. You can get that
done in some way. If he was taken sick
you would lose his time. Mind-sckness
is upon him. Send him to the Walker
McElmoyle School where he will be well
coined, December 3rd, by Miss Olivia New
ton, the Principal; Mr. julius r. Newton,
who, besides much other teaching, will
give daily lectures on the various subjects
pertaining to Agriculture; and Prof.
John A. Rives, the teacher of both vocal
and instrumental music. This school
might be called the "Triumvirate," since
it has three teachers, three sessions-Win
ter, Spring and Summer; three grades,
Primary, Common School and High
School, and three prices, 6, 8 and 10 cents
per day respectively. Pleasant homes are
offered all who want board cheap.
