"How about the plumber, Uncle ?"

The 'foresaid plumber got the contract,

Upon summing up the wonderful
events of the day when they had

to volubly express thanks. "You have

Editor Representative:
1 see by an article in "The Represent
ative of Sept 9th headed Carnival
Week." that nearly all the old soldiers
shouted for Mckinley, and some of the
leading members OF the G. A. r. were
anxious to make Mckinley demonstra-
ton of the parade, and saw the picture
of Mr.. Mckinley at the headquarters of
some of the states. Gen. Sickles and a
trio of lesser lights addressed very
large audience at the Exposition build
ing in Minneapolis on the evening of
Sept. 4th in the interests of the Repub-
lican nominees and the moneyed oligar-
chy, and in their harangue tried to cast
a slur, supposed to be funny, at Mr.. Bry-
an, alluding to his youth, that he was at
the breast works when Maj. Mckinley
was fighting at the front, etc. l know
many of the old vets were indignant at
the attempted political demonstration,
and said it was an outrage, as the G. A.
R. is entirely non-partisan organiza-
ton, and should be regarded as such.
There were hundreds Of the old boys
present in the two cities that did not
participate in the parade, and I know
that some of them were absent for the
above reason. l heard 1t commented
on freely at the time. There are many
of the old soldiers that do not have
string on them, or wear Mckinley dog
collar.

THOSE MEXICAN DOLLARS.
How They Affect the Price of Wheat,

How They Affect the Price of Wheat.
Editor Representative:
The Eastern National bankers are eX-
pressing to our state banks-that are
working for the present gold standard
Mexican silver dollars, and where they
can get dealers to sci them for so cents
of our gold standard money, they are
dong it-provided the purchaser will
buy so cents worth of other goods. The
object the bankers have in selling those
Mexican dollars is to teach the unthink-
ing an object lesson in the value of
money-and they tauntingly ask them if
they want our money to be as poor and
cheap as the money Of our sister repub-
lie.
In 1873 the Mexican silver dollar was
worth in the United States, and any
where in the world, 3 to 4 cents more
than our gold dollar-but of course our
sold standard advocates never mention
this fact, nor do they attempt to explain
the reason why our silver dollar which
is practically based upon our standard
gold dollar is worth nearly double in
purchasing power to what it was in 1873.
In '73 the Mexican silver dollar and
the American silver dollar were about
equal in value The Mexican silver dollar
still is the same in weight and fineness
and remains the standard of value in
Mexico.
Hence, when wheat is selling at go
cents per bushel in the United States,
on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande,
the Mexican farmer receives 81. 20 per
bushel for his wheat in money as good
as our money was in 1873-money that
will pay any debt, public Or private. Of
course our gold bug bankers in their ef
forts to mislead our people will not
make this explanation, for that would
not be german to the object
they have in view-which is to mislead
the people to vote for our 200 cent dollar
and be content to take 40 cents a bushel
for the best wheat in the world.
Did you ever think my farmer friend
that 10 per cent interest today meas
ured by the price of 40 cent wheat, for it
takes 2h bushels to buy a dollar, and
that it would take rs bushels to buy SO
to pay the interest at 10 per cent on $1OO
for one year.
Wheat was worth 81 per bushel in
gold coin in 1873, hence ten bushels Of
wheat would pay the interest upon 500
for a year-so that valued by the price
of your wheat at 40 cents per bushel
which is 2 cents per Dushel more than
the average price your wheat sold for
in 1895, in this state, you today pay in
your wheat values Is per cent instead of
10 per cent. So, my friends, it is easy
to see why the majority of the bankers
are SO anxious to have the present gold
standard maintained, anu are so opposed
to the free coinage Of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l of gold.
II you desire to get living price for
your grain the only way open to you
is to vote for the party. that is pledged

can do the AamA work and as much Of
1t as the redeeMing money, please tell
me wherein fthe( redeemer Is the super
ior OF the redeemed? Or where is the
sense In creating a thing there Is no
demand for?" Now 1t is self evident
that the gold bugs are not making this
vicious fghDfof 4 gold standard, or re-
demption money for the fun of the
for redemption money is proof posi-
tive that tbare, are some interests in
this country that demand it.
AS we have FOUND by investigation
that home interests do not demand it,
we must look abroad. In looking
abroad what, do we find? We find that
England has large interests In this
country. That she has invested large
ly in our railroads, mines, breweries,
mills, lands, national and municipal
bonds, and farm mortgages; that the
profits arising from these investments
must be received in the money of the
country. AS these Britons invest here
to reap a golden harvest and HE away
to their home country to spend it, a
redemption money is necessary. With
it they can loot our treasury Of its gold,
or in lieu thereof compel the issue of
bonds bearing interest.
The testimony of redemption money
proves beyond a reasonable doubt that
the gold bugs are waging this war for
single gold standard or redemption
money, solely and wholly in the inter-
ests of England.
Now, freemen, up and at them. The
British lion is after you. He is re-
cruiting his legions from your neigh
bors, your kinsmen, and from your
own household. Again, I say, up and
at them. Drive them as the patriots
of 1776 did, to their holes, then push
their holes in after them. and set a
seal upon them that they deceive and
rob you no more for a thousand years.

FREE SILVER IN HASTINGS.
HE CURES ALL.

Among the additions to science in the
closing of the Nineteenth century,
which rebound to the benefit of all
mankind, there is nothing for which
humanity should be so grateful as the
progress made by it's physicians. Dis
eases that have heretofore baftled the
skill of physicians for hundreds of
years, have now, through the study of
our advanced scientists, become almost
as simple as trifling aches.
Among those who are doing grand
work is DR.. Hathaway. His studies
have been for many years solely in the
interest of the sexes, and the promotion
of the health and physical vigor, with
out which life has no charm.
1t has been Dr. Hathaway's one am
bition to further the happiness of his
fellow beings, and to such proficiency
has he arrived in his chosen field, that
from his Office he is able to cure. dis
eases, that, but for him. would destroy
not only everything in life worth hav-
ing, but even life itself.
Should any one doubt the efficacy Of
DR.. Hathaway & Co.'S cure they will
be furnished with thousands Of testi-
monials from people of public reputa-
The beauty of the Hathaway treat
ment is that it is not necessary to con-
suit the eminent specialist in person,
he having brought his methods to such
perfection that to any one desiring
to consult him he will mail a blank
suitable to either man or woman On
these blanks are propounded questions
which should be truthfully answered

replies will tell the patients what to
do.
Thousands upon thousands of testi-
monials from the most remote parts Of
the country testify to the renewed life
and happiness which his treatment has
brought about. The DR.. Hathaway
Co.'S treatment, unlike that of would
be doctors, cures permanently. and
therefore the dread disease, the NO.
ment you stop your treatment, does not
return. This is especially true of the
delicate diseases which are private in
their nature. DR.. Hathaway & Co. par
ticularly invite the confidence of those
who are suffering from chronic ner-
vous, catarrhal, skin, and blood disor-
ders. The eminent specialist himself
and the corps of physicians under him
are qualified by their long experience
and study to treat successfully disease
in it's most chronic form, and their abil-
ity is materially assisted by the
splendid equipment of the company,
which is not equaled by any three insti-
tutions of it's kind in the United

His Illustrations were extremely vulgar,
and his expressions indicated q lack Of
education and savored of bulldozing.
He told Of q poor daughter of a COM
rade who had asked him II she should
loan a certain German farmer money
and have him pay her back in so cent
dollars, and he advised her to make the
loan, that Bryan would not be elected.
In speaking Of Bryan Henderson always
referred to the gentleman as q Mouth"
using the word mouth" very loudly,
and very often. and in very ridiculous
manner, He had a fellow down in the
audience stuffed to answer a few irrele-
want questions on dates and 15h to l.
Sixteen to one he represented by two
Irishmen, Mike telling Pat that if he
voted for Bryan (the mouth) he would
receive SIC for a days work where he
received 81 at present. But he said he
believed in the Germans statement who
said he had one patch on his pants now,
and II Bryan is elected he will have 16
patches instead. He referred to Messrs.
Teller and TOwne in very ungentlemanly
terms. He held up before the audience
a piece of silver bullion equal in weight
to dollar, and went through the mo-
tiOns to show how it was minted free of
charge, and how Mexico and China, etc.,
in 1897, ETC., came in with their homely
dollars to exchange for our nice ones,
giving 15h ounces of silver to an ounce
of gold, SO our silver all went over there
and We were practically on gold basis
until 1877, and at the time of the great
crime of 1873 was committed there was
no silver in the country to demonetize.
He said gold and silver never have nor
never will 60 hand in hand in any coun-
try. That he believed in gold dollars
that would pay the policy holder, the
soldier, etc., 100 cents on the dollar. He
said he expected that mouth from Ne
brasKa to speak in Winona, and he want
ed him to answer the above statements.
He said God formed such men who go
around the country running for presi-
dent, slandering the flag that he and
Mckinley had lost their blood to defend.
The above is just as we heard it, with no
injustice or exaggeration.
