THE TRUE REMEDY

w. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill,
Chief" says: ''We won't keep house
without DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Elk
perimented with many others, but
never got the remedy until we used
DR.. Kings New Discovery. No other
remedy can take it's place in our home,
as in it we have a certain and sure
cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, ETC." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is guar
anteed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

THE WRONG MR.. MOORE.

Yesterday colored man who appear
ed by his dress to be fairly fixed step
ped up to one of the windows at the
postotfice and asked to see 'Mr Moore
on private business. Forwarding Clerk
w. w. Moore went out into the corridor
near the stairway leading to Collector
Rogers office, and the negro approach
ed him with a little hesitation.
mir. Moore" he began, II haven't
fixed my taxes yet, and was told that
if | would come to see you, could get
you to fix 'em for me. F."
But he proceeded no further, for Mr..
Moore informed the negro that he was
attending only to his own taxes, or
words to that effect, and that the negro
was pouring his tale of woe into the
wrong Mr.. Moore's ears. The Mr..
Moore he sought was Secretary c. B.
Moore of the Republican Congressional
committee. Baskerville Citizen.

INTENSE FEELING.
A Carpenter Wouldn't Work on Dwell
ling for a Goldbug.

Mr.. VIM. e. Curtis, writing to the
Chicago Record, says:
No one can recollect a campaign in
which the feeling was so intense on
either side. The intolerance that the
silver Democrats show toward former
members of their party who are sup
porting Mckinley or Palmer has never
been equally manifest in any political
campaign since the war. 1t reminds
old settlers of slave times. There is
no such feeling toward the Republi-
cans, but it costs something to be n
''sound-money" Democrat in the inte-
rior of Missouri just now
They tell of workingmen who have
deserted shops, and carpenters who
have refused to make repairs on the
houses of former Democrats who are
going 10 vote for Mckinley. / heard
of a carpenter at Sedalia who was ask
Ell to submit estimates for the en-
largement of the dwelling of a neigh
Dor of that description, and declined to
consider the matter, saying that he
rather work for a niger than a gold
bug
You hear of physicians whose prac-
tice has been ruined, clergymen whose
churches are deserted. merchants who
are boycotted by their former custom
ers and there is certain mill for whose
flour there is no longer a market in
Missouri. People will not buy it be-
cause the chief owner is the chairman
of 'sound-money" Democratic Aom-
mittee, or something of that sort.
There are certain wholesale houses in
ST. Louis that are not doing any trade
at all because their proprietors have
been prominent in the movement, and
if Mr.. Bryan wants some interesting
information about coercion" he
ought to talk with the drummers ]
have met on the road, who carry both
Mckinley and Bryan buttons in their
vest pockets and change them as
rapidly as FregoH, the italian actor,
his costumes. Said commercial trav-
eler whom | met in ne smoking-room
Of a sleeper the other day:
II have done more lying during the
last sixty days than | have done in all
my life before, and I can't say that |
have been particularly truthful man,
either. / used to lie little now and
then about my prices, but now / am
lying all the time about my politics.
IF I didn't wouldn't sell any goods"
Mr.. Mr.. Bryan is right when he says
1t is a fight between the classes. That
is apparent wherever [ have benin
West Virginia, Kentucky, and here in
Missouri especially. Wherever you
find a man who has money or invest
ments, or business interests, you need
not ask him for whom he is going TO
vote.
Il can tell that you are a Mckinley
man by your clothes,' was a remark
/ heard the other day.
The greater the wealth. the greater
the interests at stake in any commune
ty, the larger the Mckinley vote viii

ON A CROSS OF GOLD.
(By Robert Ashe.)

(''You must not force a crown Of
thorns on the brow of Labor; nor cru
city mankind upon a Cross of Gold'-
VIM. j. Bryan.
EmblaZoned on our banners high,
Behold the legend grand;
Attracting by it's honesty,
The millions of our land.
To once again proclaim the truth,
In accents loud and bold,
Mankind cannot be crucified
Upon cross of gold"
This legend is our battle cry,
Twill guide us night and day;
'IW1H lead our hosts 10 victory,
Our foemen to dismay.
But friends from every rank of life
We welcome to that fold;
Where man cannot be crucified
Upon cross of gold"
What though the power of wealth or.
dams
The people to deride;
Enough true manhood yet remains
To sweep that power aside.
And in it's place again proclaim,
That truth so nobly told;
Mankind cannot be crucifed
Upon a cross of gold"
Nights sable mantle disappears,
The morning beams are bright:
The cherished hopes of waiting years
Triumphant, loom in sight
Then nail our legend to the mast,
Let every eye behold;
You cannot cruelty mankind
Upon cross of gold"
All hail the advancing hosts of right,
All hail the hero grand;
Who bears our legend through the
fight;
Which shall redeem our land.
When class, and caste, shall cease to be
Nor men be bought and sold;
But live for higher aims of life
Than worshippers of gold.

OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT

"They say you must take care of
county government. Fifteen years
ago under their rule my county was
so deep in debt that jurymen on leav-
ing the court room would go about and
huckster their tickets off for one-third
their face value.
''Our county government had rea-
son for its existence. 1t was a success
and the Populists and Republicans adj
mitted it when they made the pro-
vision for the appointment OF two
extra commissioners with veto power.
'"They cry election frauds, but with
all the machinery in our hands they
beat us. They made new law which
has four times as many chances for
fraud as the old one, which will make
it cost 1874, 900 to cast your vote. There
was never a Legislature since 1868,
against which there were so many
charges of fraud and bribery.
Democrats were in charge for six
teen years, and they have been in for
two years; have they shown anything
we did wrong?
''They cry fraud in certain counties,
but when you go there it's always
somewhere else. ! saw the chairman
of the committee which they sent to
Edgecombe to investigate frauds of
Democrats. He said all the d-n ne
groes down there got mad about fusion
and voted the Democratic ticket, and
that was why they cried fraud. Prom
