came to bridge from which the

The farmers, workingmen, bust
ness people and persons of leisure
have placed the X-rays Of their in
telligence and patriotism on the Jen-
ming Bryan business, Incorporated
by the Populist Bland and the fam.
Gus pardoner of anarchists Altgeld.
Vermont places a fat stamp on the
whole business by electing Repub.
lican Governor with a majority of
forty thousand. West Virginia will
do the same for Mr.. Atkinson. Any
man who goes off on fallacies and
side confab will make a big mistake.
The Chicago platform is not Demo
cratic but very cratic, out Of all
sorts OF propriety and cannot be sus-
tanned even by the Supreme Court
of the United States. Do like the
Vermonters, or as the railroad sign
boards say at the crossings, "Stop,
think, look" and you will be sure to
vote for home and country and not
for little silver mine that you can
not get cent from without paying

In recent letter to the manufac-

the Spectator, Rushford, N. T., says;
at may be a pleasure to youto know
the high esteem in which Chamber
lain's medicines are held by the peo-
pie of your own State, where they
must be known. An aunt of mine,
who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was
about to visit me few years since,
and before leaving home wrote me,
asking if they were sold here, stating
if they were not she would bring a
quantity with her, as she did not like
to be without them.' The medicines
referred to are Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, famous for its cures Of
colds and Group; Chamberlain &
Pain Balm for rheumatism, lam,
back, pains in the side and chest
and Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel
complaints. These medicines have
been in constant use in Iowa for al
most quarter Of century. The
people have learned that they srs
articles of great worth and merit
and uneqnaled by any other. They
are for sale here by l.. G.. Matthaei

NE SEE MAJOR MCKINLEY

On September lst the editors of
our Mountain State visited Major
Mckinley at his home in Canton,
Ohio, and paid their respects to the
next President of the United States.
Hon. P. W. Morris, President of
the Press Association, made speech
of Introduction, which was respond
ed TO by Mr.. Mckinley. 1t was full
of logical and convincing argument,
and in it he paid high tribute to the
press Of the country in its Jealous
work for accomplishing much in the
battle for protection and sound
money. In every utterance made by
Mr.. Mckinley, whether in his stud
led letters, or address and impromp-
tn speeches, their is not a word of
Righteousness nor false logic, but
they are at once convincing and true.

The Sound Currency Democrats,
rather than take place with their
brethren, the Republicans, on this
vital issue, and, as they say, in order
to recognize their paternity and per-
petuate their Inheritance, have held
q National Convention. On Sep
TENDER Sd they nominated Senator
John M. Palmer, of Illinois, for
President, and General Simon Boil
var Buckner, Of Kentucky, for Vice
President. These are good names.
They fought on opposite sides, and
are now good friends, but the track
of growth, plenty and prosperity is
with Mckinley. The currency was
denounced for years by the Democ-
racy, and now the Populists de-
nounce the Democracy, and it is
self evident, as usual, that the Re-
publicans and all good citizens must
support and save the Nation by rail-
lying around Mckinley and Hobart.

LII Hung Chang, the great Chi

sive tribute to General Grant, by
placing a wreath on the dead hero's
tomb, and declared that he was the
greatest man he ever knew. Their
friendship began, while Grant was
President, and was cemented by per-

European tour, and Mr.. Chang was
among the first to subscribe 500 dol
lars to the beautiful mausoleum now
being erected at the tomb.

SOUND MONEY TALK.

We congratulate Senator Faulk-

good craftsmanship when he made
his speech on financial questions.
We quote part of his remarks, that
gives the substance of his judgment,
as follows:
awe cannot leoislate for the pres
ent from the standing of the past.
The monetary systems of the world
have changed ; the demand for the
white metal is lessening annually
SHOULD WE ADOPT FREE
AND UNLIMITED COINAGE
AT A RATIO THAT WOULD
DRAW THE SURPLUS SILVER
TO OUR MINIS, THERE ARE
NO CHANNELS THROUGH
WHICH 1T COULD PASS FROM
THIS COUNTRY EXCEPT TO
SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMER
ICA, CHINA AND JAPAN.
Would they absorb sufficient to pre-.
vent a glut in the home market
which would SO effectually depre-
ciate the price as to destroy silver as
a standard of value With an in
creased production and a continual
decrease In the demand, would it be
wise for the true friends of bimetal.
ism to place silver in the position
it occupied in our monetary system
prior to 1872
"Mr. President, CAN SEE NO
SOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM
EXCEPT IN INTERNATIONAL
BIMETALLISM. The stability of
silver, which has been overthrow
by vicious and selfish legislation,
can only be restored in this way"

We suggest, that if it will be as
convenient to the manager of the
quarries, that dynamite blasts be put
off al midday instead OF carly in the
morning. 1t is rather annoying to
those who are i'll, as well as to those
who want little longer nap, and the
change would not injure the work.
