The fate of MT. Grover Cleveland, to say nothing of MT. Tom Jones, should be abundant warning to those holding office by the grace of the democratic party, that no man or set of men can be so great and powerful that he or they can ignore party precedents and assume positions of even apparent antagonism to the party and its interests with impunity.

MT. Bryan Is against the trusts and combines, which, octopus like, have been for years under the protection and en- couragement of republican class 1egisla- ton strangling the laboring masses and productive industries of the country. He has so declared himself in the most un- mistakeable and positive terms, and after bis inauguration will use the constitu- tonal power in his hands to destroy them, root and branch so that labor of all kinds may receive it's just portion of what it produces.

Mckinley thinks the great need of the people of the country is not more money, but more confidence. If he really be- lieves this why does he trust in Hannas corruption fund for his election, rather than in giving his confidence to the peo- pie who need it, as he says, more than they do money, and getting their confidence in return, of which he seems to lack, more than he does Hanna's money?

It is not because the railroads love free silver less, but because they love govern ment by injunction more, that they are so desperately opposing the election of Bryan.

The national banks with rare excep- tions, are fighting the democratic party this year just as they did Andrew Jack son, and for the same reason. They want the absolute power to dictate how much or how little money the people shall have, and the exclusive right and authority to issue and control the circulating medium of the country. and thereby fix the price of labor, commodities and the products of labor as measured In money. and so promote their own special interests and prosperity at the expense of the welfare of the people.

Some weeks ago the goldbug organs were vociferous in denying that a certain article had appeared in the London Fi- nancial News, stating substantially that If the United States would independently go to the free coinage of gold and silver British commerce would be driven from the seas within twelve months. That such an editorial did appear in the above named paper is settled beyond question by the following special dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 4th instant:
 New York, Oct. S.-A London cable to the Evening World is as follows:
 "'There can be no doubt about it that if the United States were to adopt a silver basis tomorrow British trade would be ruined before the year was out. for Amer ican industry would be protected not only at home, but in every other market"
 As the World is one of the subsidized organs of the gold trust and venomously bitter against MT. Bryan and the Chicago platform, it may be taken for granted that the foregoing dispatch is authentic

If Mckinley should happen to be elect ed this government will be run in the in- terests of the railroads, the banks. cor porations, combines and monopolies. When the tariff barons secured the pas sage of the Mckinley bill they boldly and brazenly claimed it as their own because, as they said, i've bought it and paid for it." The railroads, banks, corporations, trusts and syndicates are making a mighty effort to buy the election of the same Mckinley to the presidency, and if successful, they would assert, by right of purchase. the authority to control and use him for their own special profit and benefit. If the trusts syndicates and mo- nopolles are to be destroyed or controlled Mckinley must be defeated.

Senator Chandler believes that
if the government, as a result OF
democratic mismanagement, has
got to borrow money it should do
so by sure enough popular loan,
instea of by issuing bonds labeled
popular which will probably all be
taken by bankers. In accordance
with that idea, he has introduced a
bill providing for popular loan
through postal savings notes, and
has given notice of his intention to
offer it as a substitute for the coin
age bill which was this week re-
ported to the Senate as substi-
tate for the House bond bill. Mr..
Chambers bill provides that any
person may deposit 500 in any
money order postoflice and receive
a receipt acknowledging that there
is due to him or his order a postal
savings note, bearing interest from
date. These receipts are to be ex-
changeable at any U. S. depository
for a postal savings note worth one
year from date $lO3, two years
$lO6.1O, three years $1,000, four
yours $1l2.59, five years GIG, and
thereafter the value to increase al
the rate of "a Il year until redeem.
ed. The bill gives the right to the
government to call these notes In
after six months notice by public
advertisement. Those who deposit
gold may, If they SO desire, have
the note issued to them made pay
able In gold.

POLITICS AT WASHINGTON.

The decision of the republican
Senators to try to pass the House
tariff bill without amendment adds
materially to the chances the bill
has to get through the Senate.
The bill as it stands is not party
measute, although it owes its being
to republicans. 1t is merely an
emergency measure, intended to
supply sthe money that will be
needed by the government until
the republicans regain control OF
the executive and legislative bran.
ches of the government. Then a
tariff bill that will protect Ameri-
can industries and at the same
time furnish the revenue needed
will be in order, and will be forth
coming. Such bill could not at
this time become a law, even ii IT
could get through the Senate, as 1t
would be certain to run against
Mr.. Cleveland's veto. 1t is not, of
course, certain that the House bill
will ever become a law. 1t must

SUBSTITUTES FOR BULLETS.

Nuggets OF Gold and wc-lcn SluEs Used
By Hunters In Emergencies.
When a hunter in the old days lost
all his bullets or hadn't any to shoot
with he usually devised substitutes that
on occasion served the purpose we'll.
All sorts of things have been fired at
game or Indians, as the case might be-
Old Hank Ellison, living up in Jefferson
county, N. ", told to his dying day how
he was cooped up by Indians out west
once, with a little lead. lots of powder,
belt full of gold nuggets, a fine rifle
and bullet mold. 1t was on the top of
knoll where his log cabin had been
built, and he had barrel of water and
a lot of wood for emergencies. The In
dians kept just out of range, dashing
in once in awhile to draw his fire. He
soon used his bullets up, and then used
the gold. He fired nearly half his for
tune at the redskins before they left
him.
Many hunter has used a pebble in
the hope of getting close deadly shot.
Jackknives and ramrods have served
their time as missiles. Forest and
Stream tells about hunter who had
only single bullet, but lots of powder.
The bullet shot the horn of a big buck
off, and the buck charged the man, who
took to a tree top. He spent half an
hour whiting off two-inch lengths of
branches and putting them into his
rifle. Then he rammed them down on
the powder and fired nt the maddened
deer. His partner came along after
awhile with n belt full of bullets, and,
making a run for the tree, gave bull
let to the shooter, who quickly killed
the deer.
