SINGLE TAKERS AGAINST BRYAN.

A Protest Against the Reports OF the ST..
verite Press.
The fact that Henry George and some
other single takers are actively sup
porting Bryan-the most of them in
spite of his free coinage views-has
been advertised widely by the silverite
press. Many people undoubtedly sup
pose that practically all of the single
takers are for Bryan. Such, however,
is not the case.
The national democratic party is cir
culating a protest signed by over 60
prominent single takers who will not
vote for Bryan and reputation. The
signers include such men as Thomas
G. Sherman, New York; William Lloyd
Garrison, Boston; Bolton Smith, Ten
nessee; Samuel Millikin, Philadelphia;
Joseph Dana Miller, New Jersey; r.
T. Sneidiker, Kansas; DR.. b. +. Long
street, Texas; f. L. Hathorn, Iowa; IL.
Rowley, Brooklyn; A. S. Froslid, North
Dakota; William e. Wulff, Ohio, and A.
b. Farquhar, Pennsylvania.
The following is a part of their pro-
test:
'Much as we may deplore the set
ting aside for the momentof all issues
in which, as single takers, we are real
ly interested, we cannot disguise from
ourselves that in this campaign there is
but one issue, that of free silver, nor can
we delude ourselves with the idea that
any gain can be made for the cause of
the people by supporting Mr.. Bryan,
while denying the monetary doctrine
for which he stands and to which he has
subordinated every other issue.
"The battle for the single tax has
hitherto been one for more freedom,
not for less, for less interference by a
paternal government, not for more, and
we should deny the fundamental princi-
pie which has inspired it were we to
aid in forcing upon the community by
legal tender acts a coinage which it was
unwilling to receive. The aim of the
single takers has been to remove the
restrictions upon industry that come of
unwise and unjust taxation. We can
not consent to intensity the effects OF
these restrictions by helping to pre-
ciPitate the paralysis of industry which
must follow financial panic.
Sand while we must therefore, as
single takers, reject proposed remedy
which has nothing in common with
the single tax, but is, indeed, opposed
to its essential spirit, we are also un-
flinchingly opposed to the public and
private dishonesty that is involved in
the payment of debts with the depreci.
ated dollars that we believed would re
suit from free silver coinage at sixteen
TO one. We do not maintain that the
single tax is, or ought to be, identified
with the gold standard any more thar
with the silver standard, butwe do hold
that our cause cannot afford to be as
ISOLATED with proposal that must have
dishonest results, with whatever hon
esty of purpose it may be advocated"

INEvADA'S TWO Ex-GoLD6UGs
Senator Jones Was Every Inch . Gold
Man In 1874.

Senator Jones Was Every Inch Q Gold
Man In 1874.
Nevada's two senators are now as hot
for silver as any two men in the United
States. No one would suppose from the
way that Senators Jones and Stewart
now denounce "goldbugs," "Shylocks,"
"Wall street sharks" "crime of 49,"
ETC., that both of these gentlemen not
only voted for the "crime of '73" in the
senate in 1873, but that both were then
the two most pronounced goldbugs in
this country. Millions of copies of
pamphlets and cards containing quota
tons from the speeches of Senator
Stewart in 1874 are in circulation, and
nearly every sound money newspaper
has printed extracts from these
speeches. Senator Jones was also one
of the conspirators who decapitated
silver in 1873. He had not repented in
1874, as is evident from his eulogy of
gold in the senate in April, 1874. He
then said in part:
Gold is the articulation of commerce.
1t is the most potent agent Of oiviliza-
ton. 1t is gold that has lifted the nations
from barbarism. 1t has done more to or
ganize society, to promote industry and in
sure its rewards, to inspire progress, to
encourage science and the arts, than gun
powder, steam and electricity. The use Of
gold had its origin in the necessities OF
mankind. The human heart is set upon It.

What do you think about it? Do your
dollars buy too much now? Do you want
to risk a certain doubling Of prices for the
sake of a chance of a small increase in
wages? Think it over, and when you have

your influence to make votes for the party
of honest money, and wages that will fill

Notes on EurnishInr.

Striped papers all of one color are
much used for drawing-rooms. They
resemble coverings of silk, where two
effects of light are gained by differ
ence in the weave.
In houses where they are in keeping
with other things, cotton velvets make
beautiful, rich-looking hangings. They
are soft, look heavy, and are cleaned as
easily as cretonne.
Some of the white cotton velvets are
said to wash as easily and perfectly as
unbleaehed cloth. When dry they are
shaken and brushed to raise the nap.
Even the iron bedsteads have turned
green. When combined with brass
knobs and rails they look we'll in rooms
Of white and green, but not as well
as those of white and gold or all of

He watched and saw a tow-headed girl
disappear down n path which led
through truck patch, until she stopped
upon small board platform. He saw
her let rope rapidly down, but there
appeared to he no bucket attached, and
lie heard no knocking against the sides
of the well, such as bucket usually
makes in its descent. When it was
drawn up again, the girl had changed
her position 50 that he could not see
what was on the end of the rope, but
he did not hear her set bucket down,
and, after she had left, saw only what
looked like n bunch of weeds dangling
fnom the rope. But she brought the
water, and it. appeared all right.
How did you manage to get it." he
asked, without a bucket?"

Anxious to see the bucket that had
been "fished up" and cleaned" the
traveller madc some excuse to step to

sponge which. when it was let down.

WEARING LANTERNS.
The Latest Craze I'm Paris Is the Result of
the Fair at Neuiily.

the Fair at Neuiny.
The last new craze in Paris is the
wearing of a lighted lantern as a per-
sonal adornment. The fashion origin
ated with a speculative manufacturer.
whose petites lanterns were bought by
tents of thousands at the fair at Neuilly.
The lantern is very small and neat.
and made in a Gothic form after an an
cient model; it is only of tin, but is
sufficiently solid. 1t has well-fitted
glass plates, is about the size of a wal
nut, burns for some hours. and is soil
at the price of six sous.
Almost everybody who returns from
suburban fair to Paris recently looked
as II he were outwardly symbolizing
the Midsummer Saint, John the Bap-
fist, "a burning and a shining light"
The men and boys had the little lam
terms in their hats. and the ladies carried
them in their bouquets.
