10 the Farmers.

You rely on the wage-earners of
this country TO consume your crops.
You rely on the men who work for
wages and who receive in payment
for their daily, weekly or monthly
labor over two aud n quarter billion
dollars n year. They are the people
who make your profits when they
have the money to buy food. as they
made them in 1892, and who make
your losses when they haven't the
money, as in the case now. Without
our wage. earners aud the two and n
quarter billion dollars which they
receive in wages annually, our farm
ers, like all the rest of us, must per-
ish off the face of the earth. The
farmer who votes for Bryan and free
coinage votes against the wage earn
er. When he votes against the wage
earners he votes against himself.

An Enthusiastic Meetinl.

The Silver Club of Middleburgh
held meeting in the Court House
last Thursday evening. After elect
ing J. G.. Weiser, Esq, Chairman,
aud DR.. Wolfe and j. g. Snyder, OF
Beavertown, secretaries, the audi.
ence were addressed by William
Warner of Camden, n. j. The
Court House was filed with atten.
tive listeners who had gathered from
all the nearby towns and Middle
burgh and vicinity. They found
Mr.. Warner, a silver Republican, n
strong advocate of the free coinage
of silver, speaker who backed up
his ideas by irrefutable argument. -
WiddleJur9h Ne'cS Item.
Out of our keen respect for local
democratic leaders we refrained last
week from saying anything concern
ing the meeting alluded to above.
Mr.. Warner is II disappointed Cilice
seeker and his speech was of the
windy character. The people in the
audience with keener sensibillties
left the court house long before the
would-be office holder quit talking.
No doubt the local leaders who as
sisted in making the arrangements
for the meeting would gladly have
recalled the affair when they learned
the real nature of the elephant they
had on their hands. We do not ac.
cuso our democratic brethren, be.
cause they were imposed upon, but

what Mr.. Hummel intends to do,
but if the challenge were sent to us
and we were even inclined to debate
/ the question. we would decline to
debate the question with John A.
Gundy.
Mr.. Gundy has q son by the name
of Charles who would make a much
better Senator than his father, pro-
vided he would be kept away far
enough from his fathers influence.

Solomon, when standing on the
threshold Of his career, made good life
choice. This awakens hope in regard to
his future. Providence" says Munger,
"has nothing high or good in store for
one who does not resolutely aim at
something high and good. A purpose
is the eternal condition of success. Moth
ing will take it's place. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than upsuc-
cessful men of talent. Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is proverb; the
mute inglorious Milton is not a poetic
creation. The chance of events, tie
push of circumstances, will not. Educa
ton will not; the country is full of I'M
successful educated men; indeed it is
the problem of the country to know
what to do with the young men it is
turning out of its colleges and profess
sional schools. There is no road to sue
cess but through clear and strong pur-
pose. A purpose underlies character,
culture. position, attainment of what
ever sort."-SOlOmOn started right;
