Ten Reasons Why You Should Ride a
Crescent Bicycle.

FIRST, they are the highest
grade at the lowest price.
SECOND, they will stand up and
wear for years under the hardest
usage.
THIRD, there are more of them
in use and they give better salts
faction than any other wheel
built.
FOURTH, they are up to date in
design and are as richly finished
as any wheel on the market.
FIFTH. repairers get less work
from Crescent wheel riders than
from riders of any other bicycle.
SIXTH, the bearings. cones, ped
ais, tubing, chain ETC., III the
Crescent bicycles are of the finest
quality possible.
SEVENTH, they are an honestly
built wheel of the highest grade.
sold at the reasonable price OF
$500 the world over, no more,
no less.
EIGHTH, the bearings In the
1896 Crescents are self locking,
making it impossible to tighten OF
loosen on the road. This device
so sim pie and effective is lacking
in many of the 800 so calico
high grade wheels.
NINTH, the Crescents are built
for the masses and not for the
classes. They have no costly rae
ing teams to drum up reputa
ton, which is always made ul
on the price Of wheels such con
Germs make. Yet the fastest time
ever made on bicycle was on g
No. | Crescent by o. M. Dennis
at Denver Colorado on March 27,
1886. Distance one mile. Time
one minute and eleven and three
fifths seconds. This proving that
the Crescents lead in speed an'
easy running qualities as we'll as
every thing else.
TENTH. the Crescents are the
product of the best equipped and
largest bicycle factory in tn
world. Five hundred Crescent
bicycles are built every day, OF
one every minute and half. Thus
they car build them better AM
sell them cheaper. Every dollar
over $500 you pay for your 1896
mount is vested. Don't take
our word for it but be convinced
by looking at our line for 1896,
FORSYTH and KLEIN.

Book agents are quite Plentiful
nowadays, and many o. them repre-
sent splendid works, but we believe
the plan adopted by publishing houses
in disposlng of the books is wrone.
The people are taxed from fifty to
sixty per cent OF the price OF a publ
cation for the benefit OF canvassers:
we do not complain that the book
agents are paid too much because the
prices of books are usually SO high
that noue but the wealthy can afford
to buy, thus depriving the great mass
of people of the benefits OF books
until they are five or six years old
There should be some way devised So
that the people could get the benefit
OF books at publishers prices.

about good roads is inspired by
desire on the part of some capitalist
who has money to invest in bonds
The aver age farmer has about all tn.
taxes he can pay at present ana is
not at all anxious to Increase his
burden simply to provide boulevards
for bicycle riders and coaching par
tles.-Glenwood Tribune.
The author of the above back mum
Der sentiment evidently does no
want good roads for fear capitalists
and bicycle riders will be benefited by
them. This is poor logic. To fore,
the farmers and country people who's,
only dependence for travel is on TIL.
country roads, to wallow through
mud half or third of the time
simply because the capitalists and
bicycle riders will be benefited by
good roads, is indeed unre lsonabIe.
The above writer also thinks the
farmers have enough taxes to pay
without building houlevards. Thirty
TO forty thousand dollars will build
permanent stone roads in the prin
cipal thorough faxes in any town /

little figuring he will soon be convin

Guiding the principle on the long time
payment plan, for building ma slam
lied roads will actually lessen road
taxes instead of increasing them
Let q citizen of any town figure what
the average cost per annum for road
making has been for the past ten
years. Then let him inquire what the
per cent of taxes is in some town
wher re macadamized roads have been
built. Write to he chairman of the
town of Chester in the stat.
of New Jersey, where the people hav'
been riding over the best macadam
lied roads for years, and have paid
less taxes than we who have travelled
through mud in the mean time. This
has been done in New Jersey while we
have been crying down The cause OF
good roads without inquiring or
making any kind of investigation.
We too often are willing to bond our
selves to help capitalists to build
railroads who afterwards bleed the
people in return, but are unwilling to
bond ourselves to build roads for our
own benefit and profit. With the
rapid Improvement OF wagons and
carriages the time is soon coming
when farmers, with good roads can
become practically independent ofthe
merciless greed of railroad corpor-
atoms and can become independent
carriers OF their own products, in a
degree. But this can never be nc
complished so long as we close our
eyes and cry down every improve
ment that tends to our comfort and
Suppose it cost US
few cents more in taxes to lay good

NJ E. ingalls,, President Of the Big -Four
and G. g. L. l. Railroads, and employer of
10000 men, says that he has always been a
consistent Democrat and a heavy contrib
utor to the campaign funds, but he could
not support its populistic doctrine and he
would vote for Mckinley in November
After condemning its attack on the Su-
preme Court and the issue Of bonds to
support the credit Of the Government, he
says;
1.-THE free coinage of silver will produce
temporarily, the worst panic ever known,
as 1t will take from circulation more than
$500, 600, 900 of gold which now is used as
basis Of credit, and which, under free
coinage will become merchandise and will
be boarded or exported. 1t will take from
us all foreign capital, will prevent the
development of our industries and it will
be years before we can recover from such
shock
at is part Of dishonesty, and the
American people are not nation of
knaves. 1t is not Democracy, and no true
Democrat who believes in the principles

support the ticket.

should repudiate this PLATFORM they need
credit; they need development. This kills
