They then lit three lamps. All had re.
volvers. One stood over the bed of the
aged couple, one at the door, and the
other, two proceeded to ransack the
house, They procured 800 in money, q
silver watch and a silver napkin ring
They then left saying;

land besides the senate bill, which is
law, and that is that Grover Cleveland
Is, unfortunately, president and, OF
course, during his term there will be no
change for the better, for he Is worse
than his party In that respect
To sum It all up in word, this appeal
to business men, and by business men
mean almost all the people, Democracy
promises war on business certainly,
while the Republicans must give you
rest. We do not promise you prosper
ity, for these conditions are not Of our
choosing. We do not recognize the
senate bill 1t is not of our enacting.
But II is very certain that If there Is any
good in 1t, the only way to get at 1t Is to
give 1t a chance. OF course, business In
this country must revive to some small
degree If we can have peace. It cannot
stay where II Is now unless American
enterprise Is dead, and that can never
be. We shall have struggles over wages
and lessened profits and increased COM
petition to contend with and whatever
failures to protect there are in this bill
will find themselves out. That much
hurt will come, that wages will not
again reach their former level do not
doubt. But we shall learn at the costly
school Of experience and perhaps learn
enough to pay for the cost Of tuition"

PAY

Some, people are too anxious to save
when buying a watch, thinking that q
cheap watch will do as well us a good one,
and that all the difference In watches Is
the price. May be that II required
moral effort on your part to pay us $40 for
when somebody else generally offers you
a gold watch for $3.50 and-just for good
ness sake-throws In gold chain and
charm. OF course II is all tame

yer lining of the cloud. II happens every
now and then that Il person sends OF for
a gold watch, gets 1t, and then loses faith
in watches and humanity for ever and
on US and see II we have what you want.
and II we can't suit you at all out OF

enough then to send out of town for $50
