be gathered from rke fact that one bank III Pull
man has paid ouj @I0G0-t00 this season for

more. This is the story Of one town in one
commodity. I asked one Of the largest general

Pullman rejoice7 in a republican club which

debates on silver and the tariff during the winter
months and when the carntairn orans win Lold
weekly meetings.
