the vital interests of every State and

this spirit that they, Independent Of
party affiliations, present themselves
almost as a unit demanding the free
coinage of silver-it is not as silver
miners. but as citizens Of this great
Republic and mindful of its every in
terest that we take this position. The

A Good Deal of Inference.

Tho other day citizen called at the
stamp window Of the postoffice and laid
two pennies on tho shelf. The clerk looked
at him for ton seconds and thon quericd:
"Two oncs?"
"No, of course not! When man lays
down cents, he wants cent stamp, OF
COURSE
"Not always"
"But that's the Inference. Aftcr this
when you sec two pennies down hero you
can infer that 2 cont stamp is wanted
Next day the Same man called and put
down u $40 bill, and before he could spcal;
the clc:l: showed it back to him with tho
remark:
"Thc government tocsn' It issue any,
"Any whtt?'
"Any thousand cent stamps. Sorry
can't accommodate YOU
"Who asked for a thousand cent stnmp?'
"You did. Whenever u man lays down
$40 bill, tho Inference Is that he wants
ono of those stamps, but, us said, they arc
not issued"
The man picked up his bill end walked
out with a rcd face, but five minutes lntel
returned and dropped a cigar on tho shelf
and good naturally qucried:
"And what do you infer from that?'
"Smokc-shako!' replied the clerk, and
the two became friends.-Detroit Free
