The advance in wages gilmore than
one million men hav clincht the bolts
of McKinley's coin.
After the Wilson Tariff the mills
and factories of the United States
hav almost dubbed, and Mckinley
talk of running for President. Did

The da before we opend our maskt

chances for success, aiding, 1.-The da

All me! That cold steel eye turned
upon me mercilesly as he anserd,

/ overshot the mark by nearly a
year, but it was clos and desperate
and audacius CUES, standing as i did
then on the loer tier of pandemonium,
scorcht by the fierc glare of ten
thousand birthstone furnaces.
Since China's wal of protection has
ben torn down we ar selling to Eng
land almost evry species of our man
ufacture and production, wher we
fused to buy of her under the terrific
MCKINLEY Tariff.
Not alone the conscripts, but the
veterans vino have been skotcht and
scorcht by the leger vitrol and sui

SEPARATION and resolution to jump from
1.-THE rotten hulk befor it sunk. These
enthusiasts who have felt the iron
heel of credit and the perfidy OF
friendship, haY, with the resolution
of desperation, laid down the law
and placed abov their doorway the
two leviathans of commerce, cash
down. One da and it's al over.
4 Values that have been smashed and
shivered by the red flag peple, delt
out at fair, honest, twenty-five per
cent. profit, convince his crowds that
he is in ded ernest in his splendid
struggle for supremacy. His mnr-
drous cros-fire into competition, his
unaproachable specialties, his hard
hitting, jaw-smashing, nock-down at
racti0ns hav rendered him famous al
most to da, and isthe walk-over"
is mater of absolute certainty. He
stops ono in while to wonder why
he had never tllaut of the short, safe
surecut befor. Why he had wasted
his glorious prime trusting land
pirates who's pada dates beyond the
Jordan. 1t was plain enuf after his
first days battle that o thousand clos,
quik profits was the near, rite road,
beating the old lonely turnpike way
of one hundred per cent. on eternal
time. 1t costs nothing to try, and a
single da will solv the problem and
obliterate forever evry vestige of ir-
esolution. The magic pulverizer no,
thrilling in its uncons cious eloquence
and pathos, viii be as sweet as the
anthems of the wild winds of heven,
and the pada fellows will plank down
the almity dollar with the resignation
of the bilious, but impatient job.
The sad, very eyes will no longer
peer up into infinite space, pleding
with the Great Jehovah to come down
and fife the uneven battles, but glisten
in ecstacy that the heartake to come
down and night-swet ar at last en-
ded and the brite sunshine one more
gilds the liv-long happy day.
