Kelly'S Advice

To his help this morning. Before you strike look at your families. look at your homes. look al your employment and look at how you live and compare yourselves with any other Bakers in any other country in this world and if you find their hours of labor are shorter. their wages higher. aud their living better and their advantages over you was brought about by aSgenera
 Strike then you are justified in strikin@ and if you cannot find that country then you do great injustice to the nation that has furnished you with q good home in the hour of your need, and there is another thing you must bear in mind when you go out; you will have to return some day and make five cent loaves just the ssme and remember that every hour we lose when we are young and healthy you will have to make up for it when we are old and feeble because the Lord has said that each man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow and such has been the case since Adam was boy. Take Kelly's Advice and you will never regret 1t even on old Wheat Flour because it makes more bread. lighter bread, whither bread and the bread will keep moist longer than that made

It is not to be wondered at. that we are sealing so many wash goods. We have just what the ladies all want. Friday and Saturday of last week. we sold quantities of Wash Goods at 12k cents per yard To be sure. we had them for much lower prices than that, but most any lady would rather pay 12i for 25c goods than to buy cheaper goods at a lower price, We shall put on sale Tuesday a big line of Wish Goods, similar to those advertised for last Friday and Saturday. All we can say is that they are very good value and will % quickly. Fifteen pieces of regular 25c satines will go at the same price-l2lc. These are mostly dark colors-navy ground with white figures. also few black grounds in stripes and figures.
 Have you seen the summer corset we are selling for 4Sc. It is ventilated, open wove corset. good fitting and we'll made. Every lady we have sold them to, is pleased with them. and why shouldn't she be? They are bargain and most ladies know a bargain when they see it.
 For this week we shall sell, a specially good Jersey Vest in White and Ecru at 12A cents each. Don't get these goods confounded with those everybody is selling for that price. They are no more alike than chalk is like cheese. Almost every lady who sees these vests will buy from them.
 Fifty-three Ladies White. Jersey Union Suits that we formerly sold for 9Sc will be closed out for 49c each. They go on sale Tuesday morning at this price and will go with a rush.

To the Editor of the american:


To the Editor Of the american:
Yours of the 9Th inst. just now come to
| hand Have only had time to read the
address of Judge Chase three or four
times.
To anyone who reads and remembers
well back to the closing years of Blu
chanan's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. there is
nothing new, nothing whatever to learn
from the speech But the truth is very
rarely told so clearly-so much of it in
so few words. The ground is covered
without word to spare; the two parties
are bot h attended to; the perennial desire
for destructive measures by the one, the
conquering and brilliant achievements
of the other.
To republican il goes to the spot, and
touches the chords OF pride and patriot
ism To one who f6in would assail 1t, II
is a well-armored statement OF facts not
open to attack nor possible to subdue.
1t is not an argument; it is plain un-
vanished chapter of history in common
words and admirable language. 1t should
not have been wasted on an intelligent
Hancock county convention alone; ii
should be heard in broader fields; the
righteous need no calling to repentance.
Judge Chase tells the story, then
jurist like, reviews and sums il up in
words that sparkle with the brilliancy of
truth, and cannot be repeated too often
nor set in too large type
The facts are unmistakahe. The republican
party found finances of the county disorEauiz
ed, and organized them. It found the nations
credit PROSTATE and raised it to a point above
that of any other country 1t found American
industries undeveoped and built them up by
protection until the United states is industrially
independent, and American workingmen the
best paid in the world.
Disqualification found the nation weak and
made it strong; found it poor and made it rich;
found it Stagnant and di-honorcd aud made it
prosperous and great, the leader in the worlds
civilization, the champion of human progress
and human freedom. the hope and stronghold of
the oppre-~ ed of every race. 1t carries the flag
through four wears u darkest WAT, that this
good country of ours, that our homes and our
Institutions, might he PerPetuated.
The republican party, gentlemen, taxi 80

A Lewiston antiquarian wants TO organ
ize company TO make search of the
pot holes Of the Lewiston Falls in the
hope of finding Indian relics. 1t is well
known to historians that before Lewis
ton was settled by white men the Indians
used to collect there and spear fish on the
falls, and that a tribe of Indians made
their home on the bank of the river every
summer. A favorite way of cooking
salmon, says an old writer eabouts,
was to build fire on the rocks near a
pot hole, and heat lot of round stones
as hot as they could then fill the pot
hole half full of water, and one by one
roll in the hot stones which would make
the water boil and cook the fish or fowl
that had been put into the hole. 1t is
thought that stone hatchets, and posi-
bly, tools, can be found in some of these
holes.

is now before the Senate immigration
committee. The principal ground for
their opposition, according to their
chief spokesman, Mr.. Stump, United
States commissioner of immigration,
is that the bill, if it became law,
would stop all immigration. That ar
gument will hardly defeat the bill, as
there are many who believe that i'm
migration ought to be stopped for a
time. anyway Representative Stone,
of Pennsylvania, the author of the
bill. and by whose shrewd manage
ment it was engineered through the
House in spite of the opposition of the
chairman of the House committee on
immigration, thinks it will be just the
law that is needed; that it would shut
out the undesirable, giving us only the
class of immigrants who are always
welcome in all countries.

The free traders publicly buster
quite as loudly as they did a week ago,
as to the House conferees holding out
for free raw materials until the sena-
tors are compelled to surrender. but
their private talk and acting tells an
other story. Mr.. Cleveland has dis
covered that he could not dictate to
the democratic senators in matters
affecting the welfare of thousands of
citizens of the States they represent,
and he is said to deeply regret that he
allowed the advice of Don Dickinson.
the Michigan rainbow chaser, to out
weigh that of Secretary Carlisle. who
advised him not to send that letter.
He hasn't changed his mind about free
coal for the benefit of the Whitney
syndicate; free iron for the Carnegie
crowd. and protection for the sugar
trust. but he has found out that he
went the wrong way to get this unique
combination of tariff reform He
wants them as bad as ever. and some
say he is willing to see all tariff
legislation fail rather than not to get
them. but he regrets having jumped
on those who know how and do not
hesitate to fight back.
