PERSON NALLY-CON TOURS TO VEL
LOwsTONE PARK VIA PENNSYL-
vANIA RAILROAD.

The Yellowstone Park is one of the
most wonderfully attractive regions of
the world. It's beauties of scenery,
the wild grandeur of its mountains
and canons, compel the admiration of
every visitor, while its phenomenal
geysers and curious meteorological for
nations make it rich field for the in
vestigation of the scientist. Universal
interest attaches to it, and in order
that the natural desire to visit it may
be accomplished in the most satisfac-
tory manner the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has arranged for tour COW
ering a period of sixteen days, leaving
New York and Philadelphia, August q.
AS the tour will be run under the
personally-conducted tourist system
anaugurated by the above-named COM
pany, it is hardly necessary to give
the assurance that it will be arranged
in the most complete manner. It
might be well to state, however, that
no other means of seeing the park thor
oughly is comparable to that afforded
by q well-ordered personally-conduc-
ted tour.
A special train, consisting of dining
Pullman vestibule drawing room sleep
ing compartment, and observation cars,
which will be the best that can be Sc
cured, will be provided, in which pas
sengers will live en- route, and when
ever the journey is broken the choicest
rooms in the leading hotels will be re-
served for the use of the tourists, for
which regular rates are paid, so that
the guests, although members of party
enjoy all the privileges of individuals
who may have made their own selec
tions.
The party will be conducted through
out by tourist agent especially Sc
lected for his ability and experienc,
with chaperon to look after the com
fort of lady passengers.
The rate, covering every neccesar!
expense, will be $210 from Boston, anC
5000 from New York, Philadelphia
Baltimore, Washington, and Harris
burg; proportionate rates from othe
points.
Detailed itinery will be sent on ap
plication to Tourist Agent, 2O5 Wash

Nowhere are the grocery stores thick

main arteries of traffic one will find cor

store, with often one or two grocers in
the middle of the same block. And
they all seem to thrive. New York city
boasts q more luxurious class of people
than the average Brooklyn grocer sup
plies, but the standard Of living ON the
average is higher in the City Of Church

The recent discussion of the subject
of tips to BARRIERS Occasioned a great
many talks about tips to walters and
led to many disputes as to the relative
proficiency Of walters of different ma
tiOnalities. In one Of these, wherein the
chief disputants were arguing the re.
spective merits Of the negro. who was
declared to be always beforehand of q

whose politeness was particularly COM
mended, the statement was made that
one could even forgive bad service in a
French waiter because of his ceaseless
efforts to be nice and to convey the i'm
preston that his one desire in life was
to serve commercially his patron of the
moment, though the meat be tough as
tensile jujube. 1t was commended that
the Frenchman was SO accurate judge
Of human nature that in spite Of the
carelessness of the cook or the poor
quality Of the fare he made sure of his
tip by giving some nice tidbit toward
the end of the meal and intensifying
his politeness concomitantly.

SOME STATEMENTS
REMARKABLE

BUT REASONABLE
Everyannouncementin these
columns rings with the stories
of price reductions. Some Of
the statements appear extrav-
agant-would be elsewhere |!
But theyare allcarefully made,
are perfectly reasonable and
the natural outcome of our
methods.
We are constantly handling
over Four Millions of Dollars
in merchandise. 1t comes and
goes. At this period, when
Summer is passing and Au-
tumn is coming, all the bal
ances of strictly Summer stocks
must go. To accomplish this
we cannot afford to stop long
enough to consider losses.
Apparently absurd cheapness
appears in scores of places.
Also manufacturers, import
ers and dealers in all sorts of
things must liquidate Summer
merchandise. The big outlet
commands them. And so we
are buying and passing on
goods at figures that are a
satire on values.
Therefore our remarkable
store news is not sensational
or extravagant. Just plain,
simple, downright truth.

WHAT GOLD STANDARD MEANS.

Upon the action of the United
States may depend the action Of other
nations upon the money question. If
the influences which are at work here
for destroying silver as standard
money succeed in this election, and the
influence of this nation is cast deliber-
ately upon the success of gold as the
only primary money, you must remem-
Der that those same influences viii be
turned against weaker nations, and
nation after nation will be driven from
the use of silver as standard money
to the use of gold alone, and every
nasion that joins in the demand for
gold may help to increase the pur-
chasing power of an ounce of gold, and
the products of human labor will fall.

D1sTURBERs OF THE PEACE.

Those people who have attempted to
array few of the people against the
rest, and who have insisted that the
affairs of this government should be
put in the hands of the few, have been
calling us disturbers of the peace,
and, my friends, these terms, simply
express the contempt which they have
for the great mass of the people of this
country. These names they call us
simply prove that they are not willing
to trust the destinies of this Republic
in the hands of the people who have
created its wealth in time of peace,
and who have fought its battles in time
of war. Show me these people who cal!
us Anarchists, and / will show you a

THE PEOPLE AND PROPERTY.

Our campaign has not for its object
the reconstruction of society. We can
not insure to the vicious the fruits of a
yirtuous life; we would not invade the
home of the provident in order TO sup
ply the wants of the spendthrift; we
do not purpose to transfer the rewards
of industry to the lap of Incidence.
Property is and will remain the slim
ulus of endeavor and the compensation
for toll. I assert that property rights
as well as the rights of persons, are
safe in the hands of the common people.
Abraham Lincoln, in his message sent
to Congress in December, 1861, said;
mo men living are more worthy to be
trusted than those who toll up from
poverty: none less inclined TO take or
touch ought which they have not hon
estly earned. William j. Bryan at

The ride up the hill to the Battery
Park Hotel was a stirring scene, the
lady riders in front, carriages coming
next, then the cavalcade. In Mr..

Populist State committees.

At the Battery Park, after taking a
bath aud refreshing himself, Mr.. Bryan
became the guest of Manager McKis-

dinner being ready and given in the
private dining room. After dinner
Mr. Bryan was a changed man.
He had been storing up energy all day
and when the procession reformed for
the speaking stand, near the station,
he was in fine trim. The stand looked
up a sloping hill, furrowed with a
whole field of people.
Estimates in Asheyslle and by con
servative men in the bryan party, put

al the people there who had come.
Those at the McKissick dinner were
as follows: Hal Aver, Cy. Watson, Col.

he did stop there. He was gracefully
introduced by Charles and spoke few

He asked, "Can I see the homestead

"Yes, replied a lady. ''It is just over

The train was little behind at Ashe-
