A Brisk biguity Market,

The Athens business man was in a great
hurry when he called on the oracle He
was good customer. and had no doubt
that he would be accommodated with a
few poetic feet of prophecy with neatness
and dispatch. Not that he cared much
about 1t, but his wife always liked to have
him go and see the oracle when he set out
on journey, so that she would have some
thing to talk about while he was away
His knock at the portals met with no
recognition. Then he called out his name
and his business at the top OF his voice.
response came in the gentle voice of a
priestess.
I'VE are closed for today. We can't
transact any more business"
Cant you make an exception in r1y
case? I'm good customer. you know
Now, I'm sorry. but you'll have to go
way and come some other time We're
awfuly busy just now getting up financial
policies for candidates in the coming cleo
ton"

where 1t will bring out and crystal
lie the 'iabor sentiment" OF the entire
country. The attempts to suppress this
sentiment will rather develop it, make
it more determined in its say. Inquiry
from all parts of the industrial world
will now be focused upon the issues
represented by Mr.. Bryan's candidacy,
BIS strong expressions in behalf of
the common people; his quotations
from Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln;
his demand for government without
fsvoritism; his recommendation of ar
bitration in labor disputes; his advo-
caey of proper legislation on the prob.
lem Of the unemployed; and finally his
exsltatiOn of labor organizations and
their achievement, placing them above
associations of bankers, railroad mag
mates and monopolists in their rela-
tions with the general publie-all these
will touch the responsive chord among
city workers and farmers.

ANOTHER PUZZLE.
An Index as to the Movement Of Geld
Under Free Coinage.

An Index as to the Movement Of Geld
Under Free Coinage.
Mr.. Bryan has given the gold men
another puzzle to worry over and they
are beginning to tear their hair.
In his Richmond speech the demo.
cratic candidate remarked that, despits
the prediction that the election of the
Chicago ticket would drive gold out Of
the country, the mere nomination of a
presidential candidate on a free silver
platform had been followed by a re-
markable flow of gold to this country.
This statement has thrown the gold
organs OF the east into hysteria. They
are exhausting the vocabulary of polit-
zeal vituperatiOn to heap obloquy on
Mr.. Bryan for making such a state
ment. They say that any fool would
know that Bryan's candidacy has moth
ing to do with the flow Of gold to this
country; that it is caused by the out
flow of corn and cotton and the conf
dence of the election of a gold standard
president.
But the fact remains that the first
free flow Of gold to this country for
several years has taken place after the
nomination OF a presidential candidate
on a bimetallist platform.
Surely it will not be eontended that
there is more confidence abroad in the
triumph of the gold standard since the
nomination of a free silver candidate
than there was before any one Of the
great parties had taken up the cause of
bimetallisIn. Yet before Bryan was
nominated the outflow Of corn and cot
ION did not bring gold here, but with
the most favorable trade conditions it
Gowed out and had to be bought back
with high-priced bonds.
If the facts knock out the gold mems
theories it cannot be helped. and they
must accept the consequences. The
fact is that with a great campaign in
favor Of silver going on gold is flowing
into this country at such a rate as to
brighten Europe and force the Bank Of
England 10 put up the rate Of ex.

MCKINLEY oRuclFIED UPON HANNA's eros
HANNA's CROSS.
Hanna's Record as Labor Union Crushel
Isl Heavy Cross to Bear.

Hanna's Record as Labor Union CrasheE
Is Heavy Cross to Bear.
New YORK, Sept. THE labor rec
ord of Mark Hanna, the manager Of
the Mckinley forces, was condemned
by the Central Labor union yesterday.
The record was placed on file for future
reference. 1t was briefly compiled in
the following letter from the secre-
tary of the Central Labor union of
Cleveland, O., to the secretary of the
New York body, in response to a re-
quest:
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 29.-Dear Sir
and Bro: In reply to yours of the gath
instant, in which your desire to learn
the attitude of NJ, A. Hanna relating
to labor unions, will say that previ-
Gus to the republican convention at St
Louis, the Central Labor union of this
city propounded a number of questions
to the republican workingmen of this
city to ask of NJ. A. Hanna. In that
manifesto it was charged that Hanna
wrecked the Sesmen's union of the
lower lake regions; that he had
smashed the union of his street railway
employees and refused to allow them to
organize now; that he had assisted in
destroying the Mine Workers union Of
Pennsylvania; that he had attempted
to break up the carpenters unions Of
this city by employing scabs on a new
mansion at critical time this spring
when the eight hour day was being
put into effect; that he had strike of
laborers in the shipyard in which he is
interested this spring, and told a COM
mittee of the men who demanded the
same scale of wages paid in a Compel
inc yard, viz, sl.55 day. that if they
voted for Mckinley they might receive
higher wages, and lodged the issue.
Neither Mr.. Hanna nor any of his
satellites have dared to meet this ques-
ton, and they are unanswered to-day.
Here in Cleveland he is so we'll known
as labor erusher that not a solitary
member of a labor organization, or, in
fact, any other citizen, will attempt to
defend the mans maladorous record. l
will add that several weeks ago Mr..
Hanna attempted, through a third
party, to have the president Of the
Central Labor union, or myself, wait
upon him to have talk but his over
lures were treated with the scorn that
they deserve.
IF Hanna has anything to say he
can come before the Central Labor
union and say it. He has been chal-
lenged to do so. Yours fraternally,
''M. S. HAYES, Cor. Sec'y c. L O."
