The Republican National Commit
tee has declared for an energetic and
expensive campaign in this district.
The district will be flooded with the
most cunningly devised fables mag
nifying the beauties of protection; the
most insidious and alluring literature
sowed broadcast,and money will not
be scarce.-Statesnlan.
We would like to have an affidavit
or some statement as to the facts in
the above assertion from our friend,
the editor Of the Statesman and
Postmaster of Martinsburg. Well
wager him that he cannot produce a
single fact to sustain himself. Not
that wedislikehim, but we dislike uch
methods of unwarrantable assertions.
Come to the front now, Brother
Boyer, money is scarce, and has
been for some time past. Let US
see where this money is to come
from; and you have the knowledge
and will point the route, and many
there are who will follow you to the
end of the RAINBOW to get the bag of
gold which you so charmingly out
line. Well take our grip sack and
go with you.

A pulley factory is talked of in
Martinsburg, the objective point be-
ing to use the Spoke works and ma,
chinery for that purpose 1t is a
good idea and will pay the stock
holders as citizens Of the town TO
contribute their stock therein in such
sections and guarantees as will in
sure the running of the works for a
certain term of years. This, of
course, would be in the nature of a
gift for the benefit of the town, and
each stakeholder should bear his gift
equally. One man holding back will
wrong the other more generous ones,
as it would be equivalent 10 making
a bonus or profit out of their losses.
We have a little stock in the con-
Germ and are willing to contribute it
as q gift on the proper basis of share
and share alike, with all other stock
holders, and upon proper guaran-
tee to carry on the works; or in the
event OF failure that the property re-
vert TO the original stockholders.

PEOPLES PARTY CONVENTION
The conditions of labor in the coun
try and present depression in values
Of the productive prices of every
kind call for prompt and decisive
actions upon the part of the peJple,
regardless of the party connections.
The two great national parties seem
wholly unequal to the problem of
solving the economic question to
give prosperity to cur industries
We therefore arraign the Democratic
party of being un-American in their
financial views as we'll as tariffviews.
We likewise arraign the Republican
party of being more intensely un-
American in their financial views !;
basing our opinions upon the record
made by their representatives in the
extraordinary and present sessions
of Senate and Congress. The vote
as recorded shows distinctly the
above facts against them. America
for Americans, now and forever, in
financial matters. | therefore call
upon all parties Impressed with the
belief that the free and unlimited

different countries in this district to
take action in making arrangements
for representation at a Congressional

A SERMON ON LABOR ANDCAp1rA1

On Sunday morning Rev. D. Fl.
Shields began series of sermons
the now all absorbing topic of Labor
and Capitol. His text was taken
from the sd chapter of Exodus,
wherein the priest Aaron, in the ab-
sence Of the prophet Moses created
golden calf as God for the people.
This sermon was, as announced BY
the popular pastor, only an intro
ductory to those which should fol-
low, but it gave his idea as to what
the fundamental cause OF the agita-
ton which is now shaking this land.
1t is the demand of people for gods.

Climate Influence on Health.

1t cannot be denied that the in
fluence of climate upon health is great,
and it is in recognition of this fact
that physicians send patients suffer-
ing with pulmonary diseases to great
distances for change of air. But
when the sufferer happens to be too
poor to act upon the advice his lot is
hard indeed. But it is not necessarily
hopeless. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery can be had at any medi-
cine store, and to it thousands whose
cases were considered desperate owe
their lives.
Up to certain point in the pro-
gress of Consumption, DIR. Pieree's Col
den Medical Discovery is positive
remedy. But delay is dangerous
with Consumption. In all the con-
ditions that lead to it, the Discovery"
is the remedy. With severe linger-
ing Coughs or Weak Lungs, nothing
acts so promptly. Every disease that
can be reached through the blood
yields to this medicine. The Scrofu-
lous affections of the lungs that's
called Consumption is one of them.
For this, and for every other form
of Scrofula, for all blood-taints and
disorders, and all chronic Bronchial,
Throat, and Lung affections, the dis
covery" is the only remedy SO certain
that, once used, it is always In favor.
Can anything else be '.just as good"
for you to buy?

To the Editor of the Banner
Knowing as the people do the editor
of the New Capitol's unscupulous
and unfair methods of publishing
articles and commenting upon them
in his paper, it seems hardly necessary
for me to take any notice of his slurs
and criticisms on myself in the issue of
his paper of the 9th inst, yet in JUS
tice to myself as well as the public, who
this INSCRIPTIONS editor seeks to de-
cieve, desire space in your valuable
paper to make the following COM
ment OH the article aforesaid: When
the editor of the New Capitol says /
attempted to ssvindicateu Gen. Bull
lock he states what he knows not to be
so, as any fair minded man will dis
cover who will read the article of
mine referred to. / simply made a
statement of facts which no one will
attempt to deny. Second: AS to my
age and residence. 1t is very true ana
young in both, but j made the neces-
sary explanation in nay original article.
As to my politics being of the 'repubs
lican or populist stripe" desire his
authority for that statement, though
/ would much prefer being an honest
populistthan a corporation-subsidized-
democrat.

referred with pleasure to the beneficial
work Chief Campbell of the Ocala fire
department did for this and other Sec
tions of the state by his splendid ex-
hibit of Florida products at the late
meeting of the chiefs of the fire de-
partmets of this country and Canada,
held in Montreal. Late issues of the
Firemens' Journal contain numerous
references to that exhibit and speak
in the highest terms of it and the
man whose labor accomplished it. It
also speaks of our coming state meet
ing of firemen I'm Ocala and what a
success it is bound to be under Chief
Campbell's effort.
