THE NOBLE SIX HUNDRED

The following Light Brigade,
originated In Chicago, after the
convention which nominated
Bryan and sewall, the author
being Hamilton White.
In Chicagos great convention,
In the midst Of strife's OLSEN
zion.
For free coinage and non
intervention
Stood the six hundred.
Stand firm was the leaders cry,
There's not to reason why
There's but to do or die
In the midst Of the fight stood
the six hundred.
Doodle to the right OF them,
Doodle to the left of them,
Doodle to the front of them,
VoIleyed and Numbered.
Stormed at by Bragg and Hill:
Boldly they stood firm and
still,
Obeying their constituents will
In the thick of the fight stood
the six hundred.
Doodle to the right of them,
Doodle to the left Of them,
Doodle to the front OF them,
Volleyed and Numbered,
Stormed at, refused to sell
Their constituents who trusted
well
Not all the powers OF hell, could
move the six hundred.
The invincible, the incor-
ruptible, the immortal six
hundred.

The following editorial APP
peared in the London Financial
News, (gold bug) of recent date;
'There is plain moral in the
remark that if the United States
would cut herself adrift from
Europe and take outright to sill
yer she would have all America
and Asia at her back and the
command of the markets OF both
countries. The barrier of gold
would be more fatal than any
barrier of custom-house.
"The bond of silver would be
stronger than any bond of free
trade. There can be no doubt a
bout it that if the United States
were to adopt a silver basis to-
morrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was out.
Every American would be pro-
tected, not only at home, but in
every other market.

Fruits of the System.

The whole system of modern
manufacture, with its factory
slavery; its gaunt and sallow
faces; its half clad hunger; it's
female degradation; its abortions
and rickety children Its dens of
pestilepce and abomination; its
ignorance and brutality and
drunkenness; its vice and all the
hideous forms of infdelity, hope
less poverty and mad despair
these, and if it were possible
worse than these, are the sure
fruits OF making man the work
man of mammon, instead of max
ing wealth the servant of human
ity for the relief of mans estate.

Here is how one of his home
papers pictures the assassin OF
labor; aAll his life Marcus A.

of organized labor. He has de.
stroyed the seamans unions Of

employees, smashed the unions Of
his Pen nsylvnia miners, and is
now attempting to break up the

The above is a literal quota
tion from the sermon delivered
last Sunday by Rev. James A.
Hogart, Pocahontas, Ark, says
San Antonio Progress. What
elegant diction it. contains! What
pure and charitable sentiments
Its wonderful similarity to the
Sermon on the Mount is so strik-

valent that the Great Creator
flashed a ray of inspiration into
the reverend gen tleman's brain
with a view of embodying his
utterances as an addition to the
sermon OF theMeek and lowly

The farmers Of Ohio have beer

The farmers of Ohio have been
given one "object lesson" that
will overturn all the goldbug
scarecrows that have been set up
in their fields. A grain and
commission merchant at Colum-
bus, a lifelong Republican who
is supporting Bryan, has posted
a notice at his warehouse, in
which he offers to buy all the
wheat raised in that vicinity this
this year at go cents per bushel
in the event that Bryan is elect,
ed. He also agrees, if Mckinley
is elected, to sell all the wheat
any one may desire to purchase
at so cents per bushel.

There is but one way the press
can effectively fight silver in the
prairiefre spread it is now max

suspend publication of market

editorial column may plead the
cause OF gold, the market
column still more strongly
pleads the cause of silver.-New

Address.
To The Voters Of Idaho
County.

The great struggle for the SUI
premacy of the people, as against
foreign and domestic corporate
greed and avarice, which is. now
on, calls for an unselfish and pa.
triotic effort on the part OF each
and every citizen who has love
Of home and home institutions,
and desires to have our country
forever sever the bonds of DEEPEN
dence and financial subserviency
and arise from the PROSTATE con-
dition into which this land of un
limited resources has been forced
by It's enemies at home and
abroad. 1t is a well known fact
that while the British failed to
conquer this country by brute
force, or by the bayonet, they
have succeeded in fastening on
our people financial dependence,
and an indebtedness which is
appalling to contemplate, and
they have only succeeded by the
aid Of their powerful allies, in
our midst, who are just the same
as the Tories, who so greatly aid
ed the British forces during the
revolutionary, and war OF 1872.
The ancient Tories were liber-
ally rewarded for their services,
and so are the modern Tories,
they are paid in the same way,
the only difference is, that the
modern Tories use the power of
the press, as we'll as money and
coercion, to influenced 2)the vo'
tiers to stultify themselves, and
forever bury their manhood by
casting their ballots for the meas
ures that cause every fibre of
their being to revolt.
/ only ask a careful perusal OF
the question from both sides, and
will trust to the intelligence, the
manhood, the Americanism, and
the patriotism Of the voters to de-
eide the issue in behalf of home
and country and for complete
INDEPENDENCE.
While trusting to the patriot
ism of the people in these things,
we would not have them lose
sight Of the fact that our enemies
are wary, vigilant, on the alert
and ever watchful of any oppor'
tunity to get in their deadly golG
standard venom, which has beer
distilled III Lombard and Wal
streets, by the mortal enemies O
our homes and liberties.
We ask you to take retro
spective view Of the past, ask who
has had the law making powe
for all your life, your fathers ant
your grandfathers lives, and thel
look over the present condition
and see what the parties VIII
have been in power have done
and imagine, if you can, NOR
deplorable state of affairs, and i
country too, of such boundles

goes to make a people comfort
able and happy, and then tax

tant question: shall ] vote to cor
tinue this condition, and maxim
