WHY M'KINLEY WILL WIN.

/. Because he stands up for Amer
lean industries and American labor
and upon a platform of honesty.
2. Because the great industrial
and business interests of the coun-
try see in his election the promise
of restored confidence and pros
perity.
3. Because the intelligent work
ingmen of the country see in his
election the promise of enlarged
opportunities and better wages for
| labor.
4. Because the intelligent farmers
of the country know that Mckinley
ism and Republicanism mean that
American farmers shall have a
greatly improved market; that they
are to reap large and direct benefits
from the multiplication and diversi-
fication of home industries, through
the largely increased numbers of
home consumers of farm products,
and their increased ability to pur-
chase them.
8. Because Mckinley believes it is
better to open the mills of the
United States to the labor of our
country than to open the minis to
the silver of all countries, to be
coined into debased dollars.
6. Because Mr.. Bryan and his
party demand the debasement of our
currency; the free and unlimited
coinage of 50-cent dollars ION
private account for the sole benefit
of the owners of silver bullion.
Z. Because the Bryan platform
threatens the national honor and
credit with reputation; the federal
courts with disorganization or re-
organization on lines approved by
mobocracy; the federal government
itself with such curtailment of
power as would render it powerless
to protect its own property or en-
force its own laws against the will
of the lawless.
These are some of the reasons why
Mckinley will win. Detroit Even

That Bogus FOrsythe Letter.
Especial correspondepce.l

| N'pNS"i' NoiiNSpphuebte'D
Chicago, Oct. IA stupid and
malignant forgery has been widely
circulated, in the form of letter
purporting TO have been written by
one j. Francis Forsythe to Judge
r. c. Bell of Fort Wayne, Ind. Mr..
Bell is an attorney and was the
chairman of the Indiana democratic
state convention. He is said to be
the leading silverite in northern In
diana. But who is Forsythe? Bell
says that he does not know, as will
be seen by the following letter from
him:
Fort Wayne, Oct. 2, 1896.
Dear sir: | have received a
great number of inquiries, similar
to yours, dated New York. Aug. 10,
1896, and signed j. Francis
Forsythe. The letter was received
by me in the course of mail, bearing
the New York postmark 1t was
written with typewriter and bore
the usual marks of an ordinary bust
mess letter, was signed with pen. /
do not know why it was sent me,
and | have no recollection of ever
having met the author personally.
/ never answered the letter, but did
what / considered to be my duty,
viz, gave it to the press for publ
cation and gave it such other public
ity as | could. That is absolutely
all l know about the letter or its
source, and you must draw your
own conclusions. Yours truly,
'R. G. Bell. "
The Forsythe letter was copied
by many free silver papers, notably
by the Omaha World Herald, which
has since said of it Sept. "a, 1896:
1--WE are now convinced that the
alleged letter is a fake. Mr.. Bell
no doubt received the letter and
believed in it's genuineness, but we
are unable to find any trace of the
alleged banker in Wall Street, and
we conclude, therefore, that Mr..
Bell was imposed on. We have abb
stained from editorial reference to
the letter until it could be looked up.
1t may have been, as some think,
practical joke played on Mr.. Bell by
a gold bug friend, or it may have
been a more serious imposition.
Whatever it is, it is not what it
purports to be.
The original publication by Mr..
Bell was in the Fort Wayne Jour
nal, and the letter was dated from
711'Wall street. There is no such
number. The highest number in
Wall street is 100. No. I'll would
be in the East river. Since this
fact has been pointed out, in all the
latter reproductions of the forgery,
No. IL has been substituted for No.
I'll. The number will now proba-
bly, be changed again.
The pretended Mr.. Forsythe,
whose name is not in the New York
city directory, claimed in his letter
TO be memb Of "the Committee
of Political ucation of Wall
Street. :" The no such commit
tee.

WOULD BE DEADLY BLOW

The silver standard means the de-
basement of our currency to the
amount of the difference between tn
commercial and coin value of the
silver dollar, which is ever chang
ing, and the effect would be to re-
duce property values, entail finan-
cial loss and destroy confidence, inn
pair the obligations of existing con-
tracts, further impoverish the la
borers and producers of the coun-
try, create panic of unparalleled
severity and inflict upon trade and
commerce deadly blow. William

THE Bryanites began the cam
paign with the boast that they were
going to carry Michigan. Where is
that boast now? 1t has been per-
manently laid on the table. Michi-
gan is all right. Her vote will be
cast for Mckinley and an honest
dollar-that fact is becoming clearer
every day.

GREE coinage, says Mr.. Bryan,
"would take the strain off gold. "
Yes, and put it on labor. 1t would
take the strain off gold by taking
gold out of use entirely as money,
and put it on labor by forcing it
to accept 5O-cent dollars in place Of
100-cent dollars.

RECENT DEATHS.

Irving H. Frost died at his home on
Main street early Sunday morning after
an illness of only one week.
Mr.. Frost was born in this town Feb.
II, 1887, and had spent almost all of his
life in st. Johnsbury. He attended st.
Johnsburv and Lyndon academies and on
Oct. %, 1859, married Miss Candace {.
Pierce at Lyndon. For 81 years Mr..
Frost was employed in the machine shop
at the scale works, having charge of the
construction of the combination beams
for scales, a position that called for rare
mechanical skill. Iii August, 1889, he
resigned his position at the scale works
to become superintendent Of the st.
Johnsbury Electric Light and Power Co.
He has held this position for the last
seven years and the Aeady growth of the
business OF this company has been due in
a large measure to his constant attention
to every detail OF tine business. Often
times he had TO facs serious problems in
the development ofsthe plant, but each
problem was finally solved after many
days, and sometimes weeks. of hard
work Mr.. Frost shrank from public
offire, but served t@o years as village
trus ee, and did good work tor the vii
lage when on the board He was one of
the oldest members Of Caledonia Lodge,
l o. o. F. The immediate cause OF his
death was blood Poisoning, resulting
from fever sore ia young manhood
During all his life he WAS called to suffer,
but he bore all his pain without MUIR
mur, and never referred to it in public.
Mr.. Frost was one of the klndest of
men in the family, and the circle which is
now called to mourn have lost one who
was always of a sunny disposition and
iull of good cheer. These traits ol char
acter as revealed outside the home made
his friendship one to be treasured as some.
thing lasting and loyal, and there are
many friends, including the business men
whom he saw daily, that are deeply sad
dened by his death.
Mr.. Frost leaves wife and one daugh-
| ter, Mrs. Welcome b. Eastman. The fu-
neral was held on Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. P. B. Fisk of Lyndon.
Mr.. Fisk spoke briefly and tenderly of
the lesson found in this mans lie, of
being ready Tor the end, and music was
furnished by the South church choir.
