Boys, have you seen anything OF
that prosperity the Democrats
promised us!
Guess it has been ''scooped" up
by the bankers. As they have
complete cOntrole of the Democrat.
ic party, they are sure to get the
good things made by that party.
You know yourselves that if you
have a COW that gives just enough
milk for your own use, you are
not going to feed and milk this cow
and give the milk to some one else.
Now these bankers are not going
to pay the &. o. p. Bosses big
money to feed the people on prom
ises of prosperity in order to get
another "chance," and then give
the people the benefit Of this
cHdnCc.
Now, if you really want pros
perity, you had better come right
out and vote for party that can
give it directly to the people, and
not to set of money syndicates
that may distribute it to the peo-
pie as they see fit.
/ know that you would hate to
leave the old party that you have
waved your hat and yelled for so
long, but it must be done, or we
will have a ruined nation. We are
about as far rs We can go without Il
revolution, and if you would rath-
er have a happy and prosperous
people, you will come and vote the
Populist ticket next election.

How 10 r. Arrived AZ.

Ever since gold and silver have
been used as money the ratio has
been ascertained by taking all the
gold and silver in the world avail
able for money and coin the same
number of dollars out of each
metal. For instance, if there is
one ton of gold and ten tons of sill
yer, the ratio would be 10 to 1; if
one ton of gold and sixteen tons
of silver, then Is to L; if one ton
of gold and twenty tons of silver,
20 to 1. This is what is meant by
the coinage ratiO-''that proper
ton by weight which will give the
exact same number & full legal
tender coins from each metal. !"
The statistics show that if all the
gold and silver available for money
were coined, the present coinage
ratio would be about Is to 1. If
the production Of gold were to
cease altogether, and the present
production of silver continue, even
then it would require many years
for the coinage ratio to reach II to
1, the annual production being 80
small as compared with the quanti-
ty in use. When the ratio has
been ascertained by this rule, es
tablished by the ancients and fol-
lowed by mankind down to 1873,
then open the mints to the free and
unlimited coinage of both metals,
and gold and silver will at once be
on an equality in exchange value
in property and labor. The 100
cent gold dollar and the so cent
silver dollar then would be relega-
ted to oblivion; every dollar, a 100
cent dollar in exchange value. The
idea of intrinsic value of money is
q recent creation of the gold bug
to confuse honest minds. Intrin-
sic value in money has no existence
in truth, it exists only in the i'm
agination of some benighted gold
monometallist; the leaders of the
gold sentiment know better, but it
answers this purpose.-Wetzel

Correct.

Two new silver parties have at
tempted to bring themselves into
existence, and the large, bushy
Republican tail of the North. west
has been strenuously striving to
wag the Republican dog of the
East. All their efforts will end in
dismal failure. Their is but one
silver party in existence, and that
is the Peoples party. 1t has thou
sands of newspapers, nearly two
million voters, and as many able
orators. Had it not been for this
brave band and the gaps they have
made In the lines of the enemy,
these same so-called silverites would
to-day have been sitting at the feet
of John Sherman and drinking in
the words of honeyed dew that fell
from the lips of that Republican
financial Christ.
The Popullsts bore the sneers
and flings and insults Of host of
degenerate sycophants until suf-
ficient number of people had be-
come aroused to endanger the ex-
istence of the two old parties.
Having learned a little sense, these
silverites now magnsnimously say,
''Come into our camp" The Pop
ulists are not focking in, nor do
they intend to. If the silverites
want free Silver and other reforms
just as necessary, let them come to
the only party that advocates the
cause Of the people.-Free Press,

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21,-Thomas
Dolan and George Griffith, committee
OF the Christian League, was q few
hours in consultation with the trolley
officials to-day. The men did not re-
port for duty, snd the result of the con-
sultation is not known. Thomas Dolan
is director Of the Traction Company,
and has been active in the management
OF the company.
Mayor Warwick says he distinctly
understood that Mr.. Dolen had full
authority to act for the company end the
following proposition WAS made by the
company: "If tho men return to their
work and peace Is restored tho Union
Tract ion management will considerably
receive any committe, from the ranks
of their employees and hear any COM
plants that they may wish to m AXE and
remedy i5 within the range Of fairness. ;"
The men claim they will not agree to
compromise because the company has
employed 1000 men in their places.
There were more riotinR to day than
any time since the strike began. The
sympathizsrs were out in full and out
breaks occurred in many places, &C :.
companied by the throwing of bricks
and other missiles. Many people were
hurt, but none seriously.
The police authorities were constantly
on the alert and coon as word was re-
ceived of the gathering of mob. de-
tachment OF mounted men would be
sent to the scene and the crowds dis
persed. Some Of the cars entered the de.

POO BAHS OF TRAVEL.
Tho General Passenger Agents and Their
Services to tho Public.


General passenger agents know what
1t costs to go anywhere, romain there
any length Of time and como back by an
other route. They arc, in short, the Pooh
Bahs of the realm of travel Without
them the average human being with a
burning desire to go somewhere would
be as blind man in crowded, unfu-
miliar thoroughfare, as ship without
rudder or bird of passage deprived
of ono of its wings Think Of q world
without the ever present folder" and
its impartial, never overdrawn claims
of superiority for tho line to which it
owes its existence Life in it would in
deed be without sufficient compensation.
Tho art Of advertising was an unknown
quantity until the general passenger
agent. came upon the scene and with his
magic wand transformed dull nothings
into bright, realistic something's. To
him tho steepest grade and the sharpest
curve are of little consequence. Grades
and curves and distances that have do
fled the skill of superior and engineer
disappear before the morning sunlight.
Under his manipulation ponds become
lakes, hills grow to DO mountains, groves
expand into forests, rills swell into riv-
ers, and all that has been thought I'M
interesting, or worse, suddenly bursts
upon the world as ''thing Of beauty
and q JOY forever"
Seriously the travelling public owes
much, very much, to the general pas
senger agent Not only has he brought
to notice and to popularity innumerable
deserving localities that otherwise
would have "blushed unseen" but no
has mado it possible to visit these, rs we'll
rs others longer and better known, with
an expenditure of time and cxertion and
expense insignificant in its proportions
when compared with that of years gone
by. He is ever watchful of the needs
and whims and eocentricities of travel
ers and quick to provide for their every
requirement. He is an intermediary be-
tween tho traveller and tho railway or
steamship company, ever ready to servo
tho interests of both without prejudice
to either and never shrinking from any
proper obligation. In the early days of
coming and going by rail and steamer
he was not known. Now he is one Of
the most important factors i'll the whole
warp and wool of travel, and for him
tho future is full Of added powers and
increasing honors. Magazine of Travel.

VIEWS OF MARRIAGE.
It Consummates Lifo-No Single Life I.
tho Perfect One.

tho Perfect One.
We hear young men say, ''I am too
poor to get married." and girls, ""Phe
man marry must be rich'' These re-
marks appear harmless, and they may
have certain business shrowdness be-
hind them. Still the larger truth is that
the speakers most often do not take an
honest view of marriage, no matter how
honorable may be their purposes. Money
cannot insure happiness, and long ex-
perimenting in the countries of Europe
has shown that mating for wealth is the
sure road to a lax and immoral domes-
ito economy. 1t would seem that the
sensible view to take Of marriage is
that it consummates life for the poor
and tho rich, the vulgar and the refined;
that no single life is the perfect life
Tho future of mankind depends almost
wholly upon happy marriages and
healthy offspring. And this suggests
that there should be no marrying of un-
sound people. Greater selfishness cannot
be imagined than that which brings
children into tho world doomed to life
of immitigable misery, tho hereditament
of those who bear their parents burden
VI ulScuSc .oudil W. Say luaG QuGSClOQS
arise in this connection too delicate for
discussion with young persons? Is it
better to leave the discussion to be
raised after it is too late?
The sensible view of marriage is the
view that comprehends every conse-
quenco. To tho young people looking
forward to long and happy welded
life it is of vital Importance that no ole
mont Of the subject shall be mystery;
that nothing connected with tho matri-
monial venture shall DO left to tho haz-
ard of chance Parents must understand
that their children arc to be parents;
that there is no escape from tho RESPONSE
bility, and that education is incomplete
and training inadequate which does not
qualify for paternity and maternity
Tho young man and the young woman
who arc fitted for marriage arc fitted
for all that healthy, courageous and
happy life demands or imposes. Chau-

as AMArrER OF POLICY.

While She determined attitude OF
President Cleveland in regard to the
Monroe doctrine may be far-reaching in
its effects, those who criticise the course
OF the Government as sentimental aud
unwiee seem to forget that as matter
ofpolicy the step just taken promises to
be fruitful in benefits to the United
States. For years England and Ger
many, especially the former country,
have enjoyed almost monopoly in the
trade of the Spanish American repub-
lies.
The bold stand by this Government
on tho Monroe doctrine, however, will
bring all these countries, excepting
Chile, into full sympathy with the
United States, and thus, at one stroke,
accomplish commercially what years Of
tndeiatigable work on the part of the
agents of our manutsc turers and mer-
chants would have failed to perform.
The value OF this trade is immense,
and the chance OF securing 1t comes at
q most opportune time. Our infant

their owners are already looking out
side Of the United States for patron
age and support.
The Presidents message snd the hos
tile attitude of England towards the
Monroe doctrine will give an immense
advantage to the United States in the
matter of South American trade. which
will ba held on to oven at the risk OF q
war with Grent Britain. Hence, while
this government In assuming the role OF
protector OF the weak republics to the
south Of US, has incurred a great re-
sponsibility, still the issues at stake are
great enough, apart from the sentiment
involved, to justify the President and
Congress- in the course they have pur~
sued. This, however, is but one res-
son why the Monroe doctrine should bs
upheld. A glance at the map Of the two
Americas and careful study of the
situation will show that is not the only
one, by any means.
