/ it is better to learn a little and
learn it we'll. This teacher, pre-.
sumo, never considered the fact
that it was impossible for the class
to get the ideas contained in these
two paragraphs without reading
the story rs a whole first, and that
we can never get the child to read
correctly without first getting the
full meaning of said paragraph.
The child should be able to re-
cognize every word at glance
and to pronounce it correctly
Now, there are two classes Of chill.
dren that give Us trouble here :
LIST, TLoss that cannot pronounce

Those that will persist in substitu,

is with the duller ones. But some
of the children, while they are in.

other studies, will persist in call

have a boy in my school that
is especially addicted to this habit
Of subs.j, atiug words and even

we're saying ne had left the republican
party for q selfish motive, and that he
admitted it; that he vas DESTROYS Of
creating conditions whereby he could
become prosperous by honest and in
dustrious endeayof, and that the only
way he could become SO was through
the election Of a president pledged to
the reconciliation OF silver; that to
accomplish such a condition he must
cast his vote with those supporting
such principles and such candidate.
MF, Murphy's speech was punctuated
by lively cheers and at the close was
greeted with a storm of applause and
earnest congratulations.
Mr.. Montgomery was also called
upon and made one Of his characters
tically good speeches. He reviewed the
perfdy of the opposition in placing the
blight of monometailism upon the ma,
ton, and their criminal activity in
seeking to maintain it. His speech
also received merited applause and at
the close the convention reluctantly
adjourned.
The resolutions adopted we're brief,
but to the point, being read by Mr.
Murphy:
To the Peoples Party of Sherman County, Kan
sas, in County Convention Assembled;
We the undersigned, your committee on TesO
lutiOns, beg leave TO submit the following;
Resolved, That we heartily indOTse the plat
form adopted by the national convention Of the

our best efforts to put the principles therein
enunciated into immediate practical use in the

Resolved, That we are in favor Of the free anC
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio o.
sixteen to one and without waiting Tor the con

Resolved, That we are unalteTably opposed K
all laws and legislation in the interests of bOnC

Resolved, That we cordially invite the co

The Commissioner Convention.

The peoples party commissioner con-
vention of the First district met at the
Day school house at Edison, Friday,
August %. There we're three candi-
dates placed in nomination, being J. B.
Rubeson, Joe S. Williams and j. A.
Horney. The nomination fell to Mr..
RubesOn on the second ballot.
The nomination of Mr.. Rubeson is
meeting with approval from every
source, and many voters outside of the
party who know the ability and hon
esty of the peoples party candidate,
will cast their votes for him.
Mr.. Rubeson is one of the early set
tiers of the county and those who know
him best are his warmest friends. In
the Firs5 district Jim Rubeson's name
is a synonym for honesty and up
rightness.

hundreds of men forced to seek urban
employmentWould go back to the farmY
Wouldn't that be to your interest even
though your living expenses would be
a little higher? The greatest menace
to employed labor is unemployed labor,
and so long as the farm is improbable
there will be l6 men to every job.
Fourth-Do you think an increasing
currency means bankruptcy? Most
people believe bankruptcy a sign of a
contracting currency. Do you think it
would bankrupt the Rock Island to
haul silver ore from the mines of Colo
RADIO to Chicago and Omaha smeiters,
and to haul back to the mountains
from Chicago supplies for the men ct
work in those mines? If free coinage
means bankruptcy, how is it that rail
road men who cannot get work here in
the land of the 100-eent dollar Of gold,
90 to the land of the 50-cent Mexican
dollar, which is of silver alone, and find
employment? Over % per cent Of the
entire railroad mileage of the United
States is in the hands of receivers. All
this has happened under the gold
standard, it was a thing unknown IN
der the bimetallic standard which ex-
listed prior to 1873. Does this condition
indicate the adverse of bankruptcy?
tt is estimated there are 100000
tramps In the United States and there
is a fair proportion of railroad men
among them, too. Do these men, out
of work, penniless, homeless, cold and
hungry, indicate that a great wave of
prosperity is engul6Dg the land? Do
you think a free coinage act could
make it worse? Workingmen in Eng
land, the parent of the gold standard,
are starving to death. Has it been
brought about by free silver? Are you
working as much as you did last year?
Did you work as much in 1895 as you
did in l894l Has your wages been in
creased? We are on and have been on
a gold standard for over 20 years.
Fifth-With the laboring men of
America all must stand together or
fall together. An injury to one is the
concern Of all. Do you rest easy in the
knowledge that there are 16 men who
could replace you at a moments
notice? Do you think those 16 men
not entitled to get your job if they
could get it? Do you think conditions
that create sixteen men TO one job a
healthy state? Do you think the idle
mills and factories of the country a re-
suit Of the industry and bountiful
crops of the past 20 years. Prior to the
adoption of the gold standard in Ameri-
ca a tramp or an idle factory was an
unknown quantity. Do you think those
is idle men will get employment under
present conditions when the entire an
nusl increase Of wealth Of 100000 OF
people is not sufficient to pay the an
nual interests on debts we owe to
Europe, all Of which have been con-
tFaeted since the adoption Of the gold
standard?
Sixth-You may not be the general
manager Of the Rock Island, but if the
reasons you give above for not being
for free silver are the best you can do,
the question as to whether you are a
blooming fool or not is an open one,
with all the odds in favor Of the afiir-
native

from the Railway Age.l
The REPUBLIC would enquire:
First-How could your pay be cut in
two? Even the opponents of free sill
YER admit that the free coinage Of sill
yer would enhance prices, and is there
a case on record where "pay" was low
cred when prices we're advancing.
Second-HOW can a dollar that con-
gress says is a dollar 100 cents become
So cents? Do you think that the phil
anthrOpie corporation who so kindly
consents to let you labor for it, would
take the trouble and bear the expense
Of sending you the above card if they
believed the free coinage Of silver
would produce a 50-cent dollar without
a corresponding raise in your wages?
Would it not be more like them to lend
their influence to the success Of such g
measure? Don't you think it funny,
that the men who have always posed as
your bitter enemies are now so solicit
Gus about your welfare and the kind Of
money in which you shall be paid?
Third-LabOr Of one class is directly
related to ali other classes Of labor.
The condition of one affects the cOndi-
/ ton Of the others. Therefore, is it not
to your interests to see other classes
of labor we'll paid? Better prices mean
more business, and the better business
is with other classes Of labor the better
! business is with you. Don't you think
the railroads OF Kansas will employ
more men and enjoy q bigger traffic

Don't you know that every article in

which takes into consideration only
how much you can afford to pay for it?
Can you live any better to-day on your
salary than you could when prices had
a much higher plane? So many charges
have become fixed that the difference
in living expenses viii be far from

raw materials viii peTceptibly advance

medicines are held by the people of
your own state, where they must be
best known. An aunt of mine, who re-
sides at Dexter, Ia, was about to visit
me few years since, and before leaV-
ing 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 Chamber.
lain's Cough Remedy, famous for its
cures of colds and Group; Chamberlain's
Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame back,
pains in the side and chest, and Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea

medicines have been in constant use in

The republicans evidently know how
to make the government even con-
tribute to their campaign fund. A
local example is given Marc Hanna
requests goldbug member of congress
to have one of his speeches printed by
the public printer and franked in bulk
to a certain republican in Goodland.
This is done. The package arrives, the
local agent addresses them and sends
them through the postof1ce to the ad-
dressee on the original frank. Thus a
campaign document is widely circula-
ted at the expense of the government
and is paid for by the people.
