Our Father, who art in England,

the United States as it is in England,
Give us this day our bonds in gold,
but not in silver, Give us plenty of la
boring mems votes to keep monopoly
in power and its friends in office. We
know, our Father, that we have done
many things that were wrong. We
have robbed the poor and brought dis
tress to many poor man. We know
that it was wrong to refund the bonds
and make them payable in gold coin.
We know that it was wrong to water
our stock, bat thou kuowest we make
money at that. Now, our Father, thou
knowest that we are above politics ; ii
is the same to us whether gold demo
Gratis or republicans rule, for thou
knowest we are able to sway such par

Few men in public life had as many

late ex-Speaker Crisp had, and fewer
men had as clean q public record
none could be cleaner; his was abso-
lutely spotless. 1t is as a man and o
loyable companion that his friends will
miss him, but the democratic party lost
in him one of its ablest leaders. He
was leader in every sense of the word.
being ever ready to maintain the prin-
ciples of the party he loved so well,
either in the council chamber, on the
stump or in the hurly-burly of run
ming congressional debate. The high
est ambition Mr.. Crisp ever entertained
was to be elected a senator, and it
would have been attained had he lived
few months longer. 1t will be re-
membered that he declined a guberna-
torial appointment to the senate.
His death removes from the politics
of Georgia and from the south one Of
the ablest and purest men in public
life. That his worthy ambition could
not be gratified is one of the sades
features of his death. Judge Crisp wat
regarded by many, not only in his owl
state, but in the country at large, a
the best equipped among the southern
statesmen of modern times. His dealt
is universally deplored.

OF NO AVAIL.

The republicans have listened to the
deceptive voice Of money and are claim
ing this state for Geo. Not.in-it Till
man Tor governor, They have mis-
judged the resources of the man whom
the democrats have named for gov.
ernor. But there is nocause: for fear.
The state campaign has been one Of
bitter personal attacks Oh the private
character Of Bob Taylor. But itwould
take dozen men like Geo. Tillman to
blacken the character of Bob Taylor be-
fore the people of Tennessee.
: Mr.. Tillmap is about the weakest
man the republicans ever ran for gov
ernor of this state. He opened his
campaign with lie in his mouth and
kept it there, Notwithstanding every
one knew it to be lie. He will find
out when the election is over that the
people don't take we'll to man who is
not only q liar but dirty coward be-
sides. Fnas7e
Bob Taylor will have majority over
his combined opposition that will
be large enough to denounce such low
and dirty tactis as pursued by Tillman
and his hackers. r

The Price Of Wheat.

The gold organs are growing over the
in the price of wheat For
certain reasons and certain causes wheat
has very recently advanced in price.
1t is noted, however, that wheat rises
only when the wheat raiser, the farmer,
has no wheat to sell. When the wheat
crop is ready for market the price is
low, and most wheat raisers are forced |
to sell because they need the money,
however little, their wheat may bring
them. After the crop has passed out
of their hands at low price the price
of wheat may go up, but not before.
The wheat purchasers and spectators
get the benefit of rise is prices, not
the wheat producer. When wheat goes
up the price of flour advances. When
the farmer sells his wheat for o low
price the price of bread does not decline.
In 1891 the price of wheat in the Chica-
go market in April, before wheat was
harvested, was $1.16 per bushel in
July it was only 50 cents. In 1890 it
was SO cents in April and 81 in July.
In 1894 it was 65 cents in April and so
cents in September. In 1895 it was IS
cents in May, but the price went down
when the farmers had to sell. 1t has
been the same way this year. The price
of wheat was almost below the cost of
producing it so long as the wheat raiser
had wheat to sell. Who gets the bene-
fit of an advance in price now? Not
the farmer not the laborer who buys
his bread. Wheat is advancing now,
and the gold organs exultantly call the
attention of farmers who have no wheat
to sell and laborers who have bread tC
buy, to the fact. Next year when the
farmer, from imperative need of money
is forced to sell the wheat he raises the
price of wheat will go down and remain
down until the wheat crop has passed
out of the producers hands. In 1891
when this country produced Gil ,549, 00C
bushels, the export price was SO cents
In 1899 when the wheat yield of thi
country was SID, $40, 900 bushels tn,
price was $l.02. In 1895, when we pro
duced only ABS, 149, 900 bushels, or 80,
800, 900 less than in 1892 and 176, 631 ,00
less than in 1891, the export price wa

represent us,

The appearance of Secretary Carlisle
on the stump, nominally for Palmer
and Buckner, but actually for McKin-
ley, has recalled the fact that Secreta-
ny Carlisle used all the influence he
possessed to get democratic members
of the Nebraska legislature to vote for
Senator Allen, who was the populist
candidate for the senate and who was
elected by democratic votes. A copy
of telegram signed by Secretary Car
Isle and Senators German and Brice
and addressed to democratic member
of the Nebraska legislature is being
circulated by the democratic congress
ional committee. threads: eve hope
you will vote for Judge Allen and thus
keep the senatorship out Of the hands
of the republicans. Thus it appears
that Secretary Carlisle and Senator
Brice were not afraid TO help elect a
silver man to the senate in February
1893, although they now profess great
fears of what will follow the election OF
silver man to the presidency.

From the peoples standpoint, then,
we take our reckoning and predict the

are BASED purely on the money they

WITH THE PEOPLE.

This is the last issue of THE COMET
before the election, which occurs next
Tuesday, Bird, and we feel perfectly
safe in stating that Bryan will be
elected. 1t is true that great many
complications enter into this campaign
which have never met the prognosti-
Gator before, but, making all due al
lowanee for the apparent unsettled
conditions which confront the poll
ticians, it is reasonably certain that
thepeople have made up their minds
to rebuke the republican party for its
right-about-face ON the money ques-
ton and teach it that the English
measure of American products and
labor will not be tolerated in this coun-
try, and that it means ignominous de-
feat for any party advocating it. "
Putting all matter of party aside
there can be no doubt which candidate
for the presidency is the best fitted to
inaugurate an American policy, Nc,
Kinley has been any and everything to
be president, while Bryan has always
J.
been the firm silver champion and
advocate of the peoples rights, 4,I
We can not believe that the Ameri-
can people will let partisanship or
utilization Of party deludes them into
the election of vascillating moral
coward like the Canton man to their
highest office. The common people,
regardless of party, seem determined
to wrest the control Of the government
from the hands of the money power
and restore it to its rightful place II

''The democratic national committee

largest popular majority given any

He will have more than 300 votes in the

Brownlow next Tuesday if the opposi-
ton will only take hint and go to
work. He is big campaign boss and
can elect or defeat others, but he seems
to be unable to manage his own can
didacy.
Lacy Lawrence is making o good i'm
preston among the republican voters
and Capt. Nelson is taking off another
wing of the party slick and smooth,
and man rs vulnerable as Brownlow
can't get along we'll without at least
two wings.
Mr., Lawrence is in every respect
worthy and able to represent this

every energy to elect him. He is max
ing a gallant fight and ought to have
the cooperation of every man in thu
district who wants a decent man t

Mr.. J. A. WEIGH, Of Kansas, says /:
"The wheat growers understand very
well that the present advance is due
to manipulation by spectators, and
are not g, ing to be deluded into the
idea that the gold standard is to be
given any credit for the increased value
of their product The farmers have
made up their minds that the double
standard is necessary to the preserva-
ton of stable prices and they are going
to vote that way. This is no new idea
with them-no craze of the present
campaign. The agricultural class in
Kansas will give Bryan almost solid
support, and he will carry the state by
at least 20, 900 majority"

SILVER ON TOP.

Some of the most ardent Bryan men
have been absolutely astonished at the
recent Unexpectedly good news which
has come to Washington. Lawrence
Gardner, who attended the state con-
vention of democratic clubs in New
York, says he received information
there which makes him certain that
Bryan will carry New York, and the
congressional committee has informal
ton that New Jersey and Pennsylvania
are in fairway to become Bryan states,
owing to tidal wave of silver senti-
ment which is sweeping the working
men out of republican ranks and max
ing them stanch supporters of Bryan.
A member of the democratic state COM
mittee of Ohio writes that Bryan will
have not less than 10000 plurality in
that state, and poll of Iowa shows a
majority Of 81, 900 for Bryan. Hon. f.
H. Loveioy writes: II have been all
over Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and North and South Dakota, and have
come in personal contact with voters,
especially in the large numbering towns
