AFTER President Cleveland's frank
confession that the Sherman law was
compromise measure, the democrat
who tries to force the responsibility for
it upon the Republican party and its
leaders in congress, merely confesses
that he is incapable of the truth or IN
capable of understanding it. This is a
decorous way of saying that he is either
a liar or a fool.

MCKINLEY ON THE SITUA-
JlON.

Governor Mckinley writes to the
New York Press as follows: I'VE
have nothing to fear but ourselves.
We have got everything now that we
had last year except confidence and
prosperity. We have the same rich
country, the same wealth of resources,
the same money, the same people.
What we have this year which we
did not have last year is the new
management which the people last
November put in charge of the govern,
ment-a management pledged by every
party obligation to the abandonment of
protectiveitariff, and which obligation
the Democratic leaders still insist they
must keep. The business people of
this country, believing that the Demo
Gratis vii keep their solemn pledges,

MANUFACTURES ARE closing all over
the country, throwing thousands of men
out of their paying situations. In the
New England states it has reached the
100000 mark already. The West is in
a terrible situation. Heads of families
are being thrown out of jobs with no
other means of support, and are flocking
East in hopes of better times.

Furniture Trade Sale.
An August Trade Sale of
Furniture. Why not? Why
shouldn't the manufacturers
be glad to haye no dull season
and no storage costs. Bet
ter by far for them and the
people back of them to keep
the wheels going, even il they
made almost no profits. Bet
ter for you to get Furniture a
little out of season and get a
third or a quarter more for
the money.
We reasoned that way three
years ago-and each August
since-with most gratifying
results to the manufacturers,
to us, to you.
Now we are ready for the
F0u7-th annual
Furniture Trade Sale
under conditions which far
surpass either of the preceding
ones in interest.
Only the leading makers
were consulted, and only the
choice of their goods taken.
Rwl0r Suits
Chamber Suits
.S1de60m-ds
Dining Tables
ChH0MerS
Book Cases
China Closets
and a variety OF other articles
of the very best material and
workmanship in their several
grades have been gathered at
prices heretofore unheard of.
The sale began on Tuesday
August L.
Every piece of furniture we
sell now means something to
a workingman, somewhere.
We will pack the goods
and have them ready to be
sent home September Ist,
September 18th, or even
October 1st, if it will accom-
modate you.
Three days work is better
than no work, but a full weeks
work would be the best of all.
Whatever we can sell for the
manufacturers means buster
carvers and cabinet makers
and brighter faces for other
anxious mechanics.
Almost every part Of the
store has put on new activity
under the influence of the
TRADE SALE.
Manufacturers and import
ers with overloads or with
surplusage of any sort, urge
US to pass their goods out to
you at little or no profit to
them-often at less than cost.
If the qualities are right we
are glad to do it.
This is surely a harvest
time for wide awake house
keepers.
