MAI. McKINLEY's most surprising
talent is bis ability to compress into one
brief, forcible statement what other men
would spread over a long argument.
For example, he said to the delegation
of farmers from Knox County, O.:
Whatever the farmer is suffering to-day is
because his competitors have increased in
numbers and because his best customers are
out of work. Applause, and cries Of : on

protective policy we can set your best Gus

QUESTIONS FOR THE DUNKARDs.
Three things came up for earnest discussion
at the recent Annual Council Of the Old Dunk
ards at Covington, o., and most of the
time was given to their consideration.
The first was: SIS it advisable to own
and use bicycle?" The texts which are
considered applicable to this we're Luke IL:
10: "And he said unto them, Ye are they
which justify yourselves before men ; bus God
knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly
esteemed among men is abomination in the
sight Of God" and Romans. 1879: "And b
not conformed to this world; but be ye trans
formed by the renewing of your mind, that 70
may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect will of God" j don't just exactly
see how these condemn the bicycle, but the
Dunkards did, and decided against the wheel.
The second was: Is it contrary to the Gospel
to hold communion with member who is ON
bis death-bed, after he has been anointef with
oil?" This was decided in the negative. Ths
third was Is it right to have the teeth filed
with gold?" Decided that tin-foil should b
used.
Truth EIize-Wby does your husband speak
of you as his right hand?
Mrs. Ray-Give it up unless ID is because he
never lets his right hand know what his lefS
hand doetb.

ONE street railroad alone, in Wash
ington, ID. G., formerly owned 1000
horses, which it had to replace every
four years. It paid the farmers an
average of $50 apiece for these, or
$4,000 every four years Besides, it
paid SO month for feed and bedding
for these, making s120, 900 year more
spent among the farmers. Now it runs
its ears by cable-power, and its money
goes to coal-miners, iron-founders, and
mechanics. The farmer has to look to
them for his market In supplying these
with food. Will the adoption of Free
Coinage put horses back ON the Pennsyl.

same men !

Beginning to hedge 7how on the sub
,iect of the dishonest dollar, Bryan and
supporters are saying tentatively that
the increased demand for silver will at
once raise the price until the dollar is
worth its present value. If this we're SO
it would take away all the point to their
campaign, for if the dollar became worth
as much as at present it would be Just
as hard to get, and SO they would gain
nothing. But Mr.. Bryan is conclusively
contradicted by two indisputable facts
l. The Government began trying to
raise the value of the silver in dollar
when it was only seven cents below par,
and spent several hundred million dol
lars in the experiment, during which
time the price continually fell. Then
it tried the heroic method of buying all
the silver produced by orr mines, and
invested s139,O0O,O0O in that effort.
In spite of all this, the value Of the
silver in a dollar fell from SO cents in
1877 to 81 cents in 1896.
2. Though silver is to-day worth but
&C cents an ounce, the production is
larger than at any previous time in the
history of the world, showing beyond a
doubt that silver can be mined at a
profit, as low as &C cents an ounce, and
that instead of men going out Of its pro-
ductien they are going in.
