On motion, the convention took
recess till 3 o'clock to give the
committee time to report.
After recess the committee re-
ported as follows:
Resolved that we heartily endorse
the action of the ST. Louis Con-
vcntion of toe Peoples party,
both in the construction and adop-
ton of the platform as well as the
ticket nominated, and pledge our
answering support thereto.
2nd. That it is the patriotic
duty of all the silver forces to
unite in this contest of the ages
against TIE allied money powers of
Europe and America, and that the
harmony of the silver elements can
best be obtained by the withdraw
al OF Mr.. Sewall by the Democrat
ic party. and the recognition of
that Hero of the South, Thomas
K. Watson.
3rd. That in the face of grave
crisis the Peoples party yields for
the present to another organization
the head of the ticket that will
lead to victory over the Gold Shy
locks of the East,
We hold that the Peoples party
has by its unceasing labor and
patriotism forced these issues and
pledges upon the Democratic party,
and that our only safety de-
ponds upon holding intact the au-
tonomy of our party organization
which will always menace the over
throw and destruction of those in
power who may seek to use our
Government for selfish purposes.
That the cause that has produced
such wonderful effect at the time
when SO badly needed must be pre-
served as means of self preserva-
ton to our citizenship and our re-

Counterfeit Money Floating.

The circulation of counterfeit money in
Hazleton has reached alarming proportions,
aud is now attracting general attention.
Nearly all business men Of the above named
town have been victimized, and it now seems
that to protect themselves concerted action
will have to be taken. The coins resemble
the genuine article so closely that even ex-
perts are deceived by them.

Somewhere between $Ioo,ooo and

clear loss of one-fourth all round
just as if we'd never have another
summer to sell clothes.
We shan't be believed until you see the goods.
Not halfdozen times in all years that we
sold without getting even somehow. Can't this
time; aren't trying: we're losing black suits,
gray SUITS thin clothes-every sort except Thibets
and serge.
We sell Thibets at SIS and they cost it.
We sell Serges at $3.50 to $I8: If we asked
$40 to $25, we'd please the stores and waste our
advertising.
The rest of the stock like this:
Black worsted and crepe, $50 suits for $780,
: Black worsted fine diagonal, $40 suits for $40.
Coat and vest fine as in $50 SUITS for $40.
Homespuns-have been SIP for $3.50.
Boys clothes same way, SO suits for $225: $40
for $6.75.
Same sort of clothes we always sell better made
this year. perhaps-no, certainly; everything the
same except this plunge in prices.
Explanations don't explain: the times are bad;
the clothes good; the prices are broken-broken

years.

worst of them from our great clearng-out-Harris
