GREEN GOODS. "
The Gazette Man Caught Mapping

The Gazette Man Caught Napping-Does
He Know What Green Goods Is?
The country is being flooded with
Green Goods circulars. A prominent
business man handed us some of them
to-day that are the most plausible we
have seen. No doubt there is plenty of
spurious money circulating.-Gazette.
The Gazette greenhorn is too gullible
for anything. Some fakir ought to sell
him gold brick or introduce him to the
mysteries of the shell game The Gazette
greenhOrn doesn't know it, probably, but
it is fact, that the green goods" does
not deal in spurious money" at all.
That's why he is hard to catch. The
green goods man plays upon the dishOn-
est cupidity of the greenhorn. He pre-
tends to sell counterfeit money at dis
count of say 80 per cent. on its face. If
the greenhorn enters into correspond
ence, he is invited to large city where
the green goods man shows his stock of
alleged queer money. As matter of
fact the money is genuine, fresh from the
Treasury. The greenhorn looks upon it
with bulging eyes, He takes bill, and
under the suggestion of the green goods
man, asks bank official if it is good
The official inspects it closely and pro-
nounces it good, of course. The green
horn is satisfied that he has big bar
gain in the counterfeit" money, and he
quickly returns to the place where the
green goods men await him. He buys a
quantity of the counterfeit" money. pays
for it and watches the counting of the
fresh, crisp bills. He sees the money
wrapped up carefully and handed over
to him. Sometimes the package is for
warded Immediately by express. If not
it is given to the greenhorn with caution
not to open it until he reaches home
Then he finds that the package contains
only slips of paper cut the size of bank
notes, or if shipped by express; that it i,
harmless sawdust. That's the end of hi:
dream of riches. Whatever spurious
money" is in circulation comes, not from
the green goods man, Mr.. Greenhorn Of
the Gazette. Beware of him.

THE Mckinley bill is one of the wisest
measures ever put into the law of this
country, or hawked at by malevolent
Bourbons, who are out of power, and
who would sell their country and its
dearest interests to England to get into
power. This is what the Mckinley bill
has done:
1t has brought about decline of S4 per cent. in
the cost of the necessaries of life.
1t has raised wages .75 per cent.
1t has swollen our foreign trade to the largest
proportion on record.
1t has promoted an average rise of 1867 per
cent. in the prices realized for farm products
1t has admitted 50 SO of all imports absolutely
free of duty.
1t has reduced the average rate of duty to 2O-65
per cent.
1t has increased our exports to Cuba 40 per
cent. under "sham" reciprocity.
It hiss given us a favorable balance of trade
to the amount of nearly S2O3,O 3,OOe,OOO
1t has built up tin plat industry which is al
ready turning out S.OOOOO0 pounds quarter.

TIE Gazette asks Colonel Poorman
for some figures and some instances in
which wages have been increased since
the enactment of the Mckinley bill.
The Colonel comes back with some
scores of instances fairly and sduarely.
Now watch the Democratic sheet squirm.
An organ whose mainstay is demagogery,
that relies on false and partial statement
and on the dense ignorance of its
readers, make poor showing when
brought into conflict with solid facts.
