know it in travelling on the trains; every
switchman, every brakeman, every con-
ductor and every engineer knows the con-
dition of the business of the country and
of the railroad by the amount of business
that the railroad does. He knows when the
country is prosperous and when 1t is in a
state of depression and he does not have
to wait for the report of the directors of the
railroad TO know whether there have been
any dividends declared or not. He knows
it from the amount OF work and the
amount of wages ne receives.
Now, my felow-citZens. you are pros
porous when the country is prosperous. and
the country Is prosperous when it takes
care OF it's own people. it's own rnanufac-
lures. it's own mines and products and it's
own labor. The country is prosperous when
we have plenty of labor, If we are paid in

Il will be seen elsewhere in this paper
that Mr.. Gerard d. Moore is a candidate
subject TO the action Of the Democratic pri-
malies-for reelection to the Office Of couu-
" clerk of Jefferson. Il is not unlikely
that Mr.. Moore is personally known to ev-
cry voter in this county, and, therefore, it
would be a work of supererogation for u:
to introduce him. In lieu of anything from
us in commentator of his excellent service
in past years, We extract from THE FREE
PRESS files of 1890 the following opinion Of
an expert:
Mr. Ed. /. Allen, representing the Census
Bureau, has been here for a few days exam
lining the records of the county clerks Of
fee and obtaining data as TO mortgages in
this county during the past ten years. he
called TO see Us and to state, as he seemed
20 do with pleasure, that the record books
of the office here were the most satisfactory
that he had found in this congressional dis
trict-hayiug visited one-half of the coun'
ties He said they were so systematically
arranged aud so neatly kept that he got
through with his work in half the time and
with much less labor than he had expended
elsewhere He was particularly pleased
with the c0urtesies extended by Mr.. Gerard
ID. Moore, the present county clerk. Mr.
Allen talked and looked as if he knew the
business which he came to transact. Fire.
