renewed life and be ready to do
better work than ever before in
their lives.
In the last issue of the Democrat
it is announced that the resolutions
of the Merchants Association of
Milwaukee, which claims the silver
question as the cause of the present
financial crisis, meets the entire ap,
proval of our excellent mayor, and
he announces that petitions to Con
ress are to be circulated for the un-
conditional repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. While we
are not prepared to deny that some
change in the Sherman bill might
result in relieving somewhat the
present financial distrust and dis.
tress, it by no means follows that its
unconditional repeal is desirable or
would be beneficial. That the
present financial condition has been
brought oil solely or principally by
the silver question is not apparent,
nor does it meet the entire approval
of many men Of political expert.
ence and sagacity. Uncertainty
with regard TO the tariff has very
much to do with these business
troubles. "No manufacturer wants
to be caught with a heavy stock on
tariff reduction" says a prominent
Democratic paper. "The iniquitous
Mckinley bill must be got rid OF, !"
says another. "The Immediate and
complete abolition of the protect
i've system" is the party's demand,
says the Chicago Herald. And
while that party has an ample ma
jority to pass such laws as they see
fit, still the whole outlook is that of
uncertainty and distrust. Conse-
quently manufacturing and other
enterprises are being subjected to a
constant curtailment, and the mum
ber Of unemployed men is constant.
ly increasing. IT the ruling party
in Congress could be in some way
impressed with the crying necessity
of some straightforward financial
policy-though it be the German,
Watterson, or the Mugwumpian
policy, it would seem more rational
than recommending the silver no

gressional discussion should give
further light upon question some

JOSEPH BRAY, who has worked
for years for JAS. Hoare, and is
known by nearly everyone in this
community, met with quite a serious
accident last Tuesday afternoon
He was engaged at hauling bay
from the field to the barn, and was
mounted on load driving The team
IL was necessary to make turn as
he was going down a somewhat
stiff grade, but the horses being un-
aided by proper holdiDg-back facili-
ties, failed in mastering the load
despite Joe's vigorous efforts with
the lines, and a tipoyer resulted.
Joe had taken to the upper side of
the load for the purpose Of pre-
venting a tip if possible, and when
the load went over he fell across tn
front wheel on the opposite side.
The short ribs and loin Of his right
side received the full force Of the
fall, rendering him unconscious
temporarily and decidedly helpless.
The team obeyed his command Of
whoa, otherwise he might have been
killed. He laid there some time be-
fore help came, but when it did be
was gently carried home and doc
tor summoned. The injury is in
ternal and he has suffered intensely
and lost considerable blood. At
last accounts he was some better,
but it will be quite while ere he
regains his full strength. A host Of
friends sympathize with him.
