as there are several hundred voters

CLOSE UP THE RANKS.

Next Tuesday the people OF the
United States will decide the most
momentous question that has been
given them for solution since the
formation Of the republic. The
campaign now drawing to q close
has had no precedent. On one
side are arrayed the money powers
Of this country and OF England. ex-
pending their millions lavishly for
the sole purpose Of debauching the
people of the United States by pur-
chasing the election with view to
enslaving the people Of the United
States and placing them under a
vassalage more cruel, more wicked
and more destructive than was that
Of the African slave before his eman-
cipation. They are arrogant and
clustering, domineering and threat
ing, declaring that if this election
shall 20 against them that they and
the cohorts Of plutocracy will not
submit until after the contest is
again decided by the bullet. The
situation is one Of the creates:
gravity and most momentous to
every true lover of his country.
On the other hand we find ar
rayed the people, the great pro-
ducing masses of tle citizens Of
these United States, determined in
their honesty and convinced Ut the
justice Of their contention, with .
grim determination that, let come
what may, their liberties shall not
60 down without q struggle. Can
tue plutocrats buy this noble body
Of men? Can they bride them to
debauch and sell their liberty and
the liberty Of their children and of
their children's children? Can those
true Americans be induced to be-
tray this beautiful land with its free
into the hands of its
II so, the morning star
Of liberty will set in = sea Of blood.
II SO, humanity's last hope is gone
and the would is turned over to its
destroyers, for upon the result Of
Ibis election in the United States
depends the life of the tree of
liberty.-Silver knight.

TO MY SUMNER SWEE THEART.

Sweetheart, good-bye! No auttering
sail
Shall bear me far from thee;
But when I'm gone, remember oft,
Some other smile is sweet to me.
When rushing madly DER the plain,
You'll think me all forlorn,
But as the sun dispeIs the dew,
So 90 old memories with the morn.
Sweetheart, goodbye! One last en-
brace.
Ask not promise true,
For constancy is but dream
It lasts one season through.
And still in fancy's mirror bright
Your face I'll often see,
But when you sigh unspoken grief,
Shed not one tear for me.
Sweetheart, goodbye! One moment
Rest thee ON my heart
The engines cadening drone hear
One kiss before we part.
For all this present bliss is dear,
And smiles like thine are bright,
But memory cannot cling to tn ee,
When am gone from sight.
Sweetheart, goodbye! when far from
thee,
Der swamp, and lake and hill,
A brighter face, sweeter voice,
Will make nv pulses thrill.
Not that I love thee less just now,
Thou art my love, my light;
But memory is not constant here,
I'll soon be out Of sight.
Sweetheart, goodbye! Another love
Will claim thy sweet caress,
And happiness IS pure IS this
Will mock thy keen distress.
But hold it near thee, always close,
Let not sweet love take flight,
For soon forgotten all thy charms,
When once gone from thy sight.

VOTE FOR BRYAN AND FREE
SILVER.
ote for Bryan:

Vote for Bryan:
Because lie is man of spotless
character and matchless ability.
Because he is the greatest states
man in America.
Because he is your friend.
Because he is tue friend of the
down-trodden.
Because he is the enemy Of those
who are your enemies and your
country's greatest enemies.
Because he is laboring to over
throw the real anarchists who are
seeking to destroy our free institu-
lions and to subvert the purposes
Of the government in greedy
scramble to accomplish selfish ends.
Vote for free silver:
Because it is to the interest OF
your country for you to do so.
Because it is to your interest to
do SO.
Because it is against the interests
Of your worst enemies, and your
country's worst enemies-the trusts
for you to do SO.
Because it would be an act Of
patriotism, and would show that
you consider this nation able to set
tie her own financial questions in
dependently Of other nations.
Because you are tired of having
the fifty men, Mr.. Depew speaks Of,
controlling the price of everything
you eat or wear and running this
government on the European plan.
Because you want better prices
for labor and the products OF labor.
Because you want to decrease the
number OF tramps and find food aud
clothing for the starving and naked.
Because you want to enter on .
footing of equal competition with
other nations of the world and
change the order OF things which
Thomas B. Reed admitted exists
under a gold standard when he as
serted that '.the yellow man with
white money has at his mercy the
white nan with yellow money!"
Because there is crying need for
an increase in the standard money
OF fhe country, as can be shown by
Mr.. McKinley's own utterances
pending the passage of the Sherman
bill when he said that the annual
coinage Of this nation should ex-
coed $40, 900. 900 to keep pace with
the increase Of population and COM
merce.
Because the more money there is
in circulation the more opportuni-
ties you will have to get some Of tue
money, for there will be more to be
loaned out, more borrowers, less
interest to pay, more enterprises,
more demand for brains to assist
in carrying out the enterprises,
more work and better pay.
Because the masses prospered
more prior to 1873 when our mints
were opened to free coinage than
they have ever done since.
