When Hon. John 6. Carlisle was dis
turbed in Covington, KY, last week,
whilst speaking, the conduct was de-
bounced in all sorts of anathemas by
the plutocrats. But when the Yale
students Kissed Bryan, and the Muncie,
Indiana, hirelings of Hanna shouted
Mckinley in his face and tried to break
up the meeting and cause bloodshed |,
the same mouths which mathematical
the Covington, KY, proceeding, call
the Yale incident and the Muncie, Ind,
row, patriotism.

The NeaUs in it's issue of yesterday
morning gives an estimate of the free
silver crowd of Monday. The editor
of the Meas chose an unfortunate To-
cality for counting democrats. He
stood in the republican headquarters,
and was assisted by that able calcula-
tor, Mr.. Noon, and the people do say
seemed SO much afraid he would be
seen in such company that he was
afraid to put his head out far enough
to view more than half the procession.
The other part he took Mr.. Moons
word for.

Wisdom, What a Blessed Thing is
WfSdOm


The wise men of the east can tell us
everything that is going to happen if
we elect Bryan.
They inform us that we are to have
a twelve year panic.
We will never see any more gold.
We will have no more National
Banks.
The Vanderbilts will all go to Europe
and reside there.
Our railroads will be planted in corn.
The poor man will starve because
his money will not buy anything.
The free coinage of silver will con-
tract the currency.
All the factories will be closed.
The silver mine owners will somehow
get very rich.
It will take sixteen dollars to buy
one breakfast.
Anarchists will blow up the public
buildings with dynamite, and assassi-
nate all persons holding office.
Guitteau's spirit will be invoked and
statue of that celebrity placed on the
top of the Washington monument.
The cabinet will be as follows:
Ben Tillman, Secretary of State.
Altgeld, Secretary of the Treasury.
Coxey, Secretary of War.
Debs, Secretary of the Navy.
Mrs. Lease, Attorney General.
Jerry Simpson, Secretary OF Agri-
culture,
Chief Arthur, Postmaster General,
and rebels will occupy almost every
position of trust and emolument
There will be wars and rumors OF
wars, the earth will quake, and graves
give up their dead.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cata-
logue free.

1t is understood that spoilers are to
be sent about over this State to watch
the election officers and detect fraud.
This is only to be done in the South

We do not know where they are to be
enlisted, nor from what source they
may come, but when they start for
their respective places of business they
should provide themselves with all
necessary paraphernalia, amongst

Suicide of q Hotel Man.

of Shenandoah, in this county, were
shocked to hear this morning of the
death, by his own hand, of Mr.. A. s..
Crittenden. merchant and proprietor
of Browns Hotel. in that place. Mr..
Crittenden went to his room about 8
O'Clock, locked the door, and shot him
self through the right temple with a
revolver. He was about dead when
assistance reached him. The rash act
was doubtless caused by business
troubles. Mr.. Crittenden was 36 years
of age, and leaves wife, but no chill
dren. He came to Shenandoah about
one year ago from Rippon, Jefferson

Could two men naturally equal when

world, when hostile Congress stop

The Mexico Bugbear.

Our distinguished friend, Major Kirk
patrick and other gentlemen who are
weeping over the impending degrade
tion of the great American Repub bile,
point their index fingers in warning at
the republic of Mexico as an example
of what free silver will do, without
knowing that the federal adn,iuistra
ton at Washington has threatened the
removal of Colonel Crittenden, our
chief consular agent to that country.
for making public information about
the marvellous progress of Mexico and
the high wages paid to labor there.
They didn't wish Colonel Crittenden
to tell the truth until after the election
for fear it would damage the cause of
the gold-grippers and hurt the chances
of the Republican party.
But if this disparagement of Mexico
were just-and it is not-what does 1t
all amount to Is it not preposterous
to compare this great Giant of the
Western World with that pigmy of the
Montezumas? Just consider it for a
moment:
The United States has pop
ulation OFF,. 75,OO0,OO0
Mexico has population of
some. .-..... ........' IO,uuu,OVo
and only about 100000 of these are
whites, and they have not one what OF
the thrift or industry of our people.
The export trade of Mexico
is. .<.........-...... ~, 800, OUO
And her imports. .......... 30,2S7, 600
Total foreign trade. ...,$ 63.145, 900
The export trade of the
U. =. IS. 604, $50. OUU
And the imports. ........ 1872, lll,000
Total foreign trade. 81 ,546, 946, GOO
Thus the foreign trade alone Of the
United States is nearly. THREE
THOUSAND PER CENT. GREATER
than that of Mexico. while the domes-
tic commerce of this country is nearly
FIVE HUNDRED TIMES GREATER.
The single State of Illinois has ten
times more railroad mileage and car
ries fifty times more tonnage.
Besides. Mexico coins $25, ZOO, 600 OF
silver, which is 40 per cent. of her for
eign commerce. If the United States
were to coin like proportion OF silver
to her foreign commerce it would coin
in one year 500, 1000, 900. or more than
has been coined since the foundation
of the government. The simple state
ment of the facts and figures relating
to the trade differences of the two
countries ought to cause any well-in-
formed man to refrain from making a
comparison of the United States Il
nancial ability with that of Mexico.
Bnt the question that we would like
to ask right here is this: If it will re,
duce the United States to the level OF
Mexico to have free silver coinage, be.
cause Mexico has it, why will it not re
duce us to the level of Egypt to have
the gold standard, because Egypt has
it? Egypt is on gold basis and SO is
unspeakable Turkey, and savage
Spain, and benighted India, and bar
barous Africa. Maybe this latter fact
explains why the Palmerites in this
country are consorting with Africa and
coddIing the Senegambian vote. Maybe
that is why they are hiring lawyers tt
, watch the count and see that Africa
gets on top.
