nfacturing establishments. No farm
hands or day laborers are reported. These
would outnumber the factory hands. There
must be at least 9.000.0OO laboring people
in this country; probably over 10. 0nN. 800,
and their total earnings must amount to
over 1900, 100000 a year. or ten times more
money than the total amount Of revenue
OF the United states government The
manufacturing employees of this coun-
try can earn si3.sij.0O0 per week. the
manufacturing employees of Connecticut
earn nearly sl,GoO.c0 per week. Capital
lists pay them this money, about SS0, 600 $40
a year. The "goldbugs' owe the manu-
featuring laborers of Connecticut about
Sl.G00.OO0 every Saturday. Now it is hoped
that the laboring classes will not support
currency based on silver, a cheap cur
rency, with which they could not pur-
chase so much food or clothing or house
rent as they could with a currency based
on gold. The silverites are making war
upon the interests of labor.
Why are the western people so earnestly
contending for a silver or cheap curren-
cy? Their farms are mortgaged for all
they are worth and the silver mining
states want to sell their silver at higher
prices. Western farmers would be de-
lighted II they could pay their debts with
50-cent dollars. They are the debtor class
and want to knock out half of all they
owe to the "goldbugs." Iaboring people
are the creditor class and shey want the
money due to them to be good money. as
good as any money in the world. Are
they not entitled to their wages in good
dollars?-Hartford Times.

doubtful whether such construction

IL is Il very difficult thing to make

fully with animal power in the yropul-

this is that the animal. whether man

either by going very slow and pulling
very hard or by going very fast and
pulling very light. With almost every
Kind of motor the only way in which
TINS action can be initiated is by the

The electric motor would b. the ideal

From the foregoing ii will be seen
that the power required to run on a
level road of average smoothness could
probably be obtained within the per-
missible weight of forty pounds for the
entire bicycle. But such machine
would not be able to propel itself over

\ JOB ON SEWALL

With all his wealth, shipping inter-
ests and national bank connections, it
is not likely that Mr. Sewall expected
to go through the campaign without
suffering extremely distasteful EN-
barrassment at times. Very discreet
ly he remained inactive from the very
first and put but one speech upon
record. This was the brief, formal
address of acceptance. He has re-
fused interviewers, withstanding such
pressure as n request for views on
matters concerning himself personal
ly. At last the Democratic Vice Pres
idential nominee has deemed it timely
and eXpedient to put forth a letter.
This is done not without ample pre-
text. In fact the provocation has been
great. The incident is typical of the
remarkable campaign now in pro
gress. SO much is at stake in this
presidential year that uncommon
things have been happening from the
first of the contest. The sensational
ism of the conventions is of record
and there has not been a day of the
battle without an almost distinctive
feature. But to Mr.. Sewall's utter
ance. He was president of the Ameri-
can Merchant Marine Association.
This Board has for years been unceas-
ing in the work of promoting Ameri-
can shipping interests. Now Mr..
Sewall is no longer at the head of it.
He has resigned CURLY. Few w i'll
blame him. Without so much as "by
your leave" to the president of the
organization, there has been sent out

this on the stated grounds that the
Association is by its own laws non
political and non-partisan and that
he did not know of the note until il
had been scattered broadcast. 1t will
be pretty generally conceded that this
is Il rather bitter experience for the

did subscribe to the alleged truism

fair in love and war and politics.

know that the venerable Bishop Tay-
Tor has reached johannesburg and

what in the back woods. In an
interview with Mr.. S. T. Godfrey
correspondent of the Telegram

on the 18th of June, 1895, said:
81 am 81 years of age, and until
1 was nigh onto fifty years old,
l was always well and peart,
then for long while and until
last February, suffered with
indigestion and could not eat
anything hardly at all. My
daughter, who lives in the city,
sent me some of Ripans Tabules,
told me how to take them, and
and they have completely cured
me. My wife is now troubled
with the same complaint, and
has written daughter to send
some more of Mr.. Ripan's med
icine. I want you to tell every
body how 1 got cured, for it is a
blessing to humanity.
