One of the prettiest gifts this autumn
was sent by an artistic woman to a
pretty bride-elect. 1t was n volume OF
poems by celebrated author, with
charming illustrations, This. book
was bound in rich green cloth, very
sparingly ornamented with gilt. The
outside cover was painted by a clever
artist in branches of cherry blossoms

artistic hues. AS an outside cover for
the book, solely for preservation, q
white linen canvas cover was neatly
made. and made to fit, so that the bool,
slipped in and out most easily. This
affair was decorated at each corner
with conventional design of white
and gilt of snowy pattern. In the CEN

groom, and running through it vine

A local free silver organ announces
the receipt at the Populist headquar-
tiers OF lot of campaign literature
printed in various foreign languages.
The county Republican committee
should take steps to have this whole
batch OF documents overhauled by some
Intelligent man who can read these Ian
guages. II is doubtful II there is a
line Of truth in the whole mass Of this
literature, and its lies and misrepre-
sentations ought to be exposed before
It has been circulated. The free silver
campaign this year has been marked
by the boldest Justification that has
ever disgraced any presidential cam
paign. II the fellows who aim to ride
dared to openly print in the English
language and declaim from the stump
the most vallainous forgeries of false
statements by our own dead states
men, what won't they dare say under
cover of a tongue which only a few
people can read and understand? We
have seen how Lincoln, Blaine, Tilden
and Garfield have been aspersed and
maligned. We have seen a brazen for
gerry of an editorial made on the Lon
don Financial News, and circulated and
kept standing in the Populist press af-
ter It had been repeatedly discredited
and denied by the editor of that jour
nal. Hundreds of lying stories about
Mckinley, about Hobart, about Mark
Hanna, chairman Of the national Re
publican committee. have been circu-
lated in rural districts, remote from
cities, with the view of misleading far
mers. Although the Astorian has ex-
posed and still keeps displayed in bold
type a complete refutation of the claim
made by the Astoria Populist papers
as to their publication Of telegraphic
press dispatches, yet these papers come
out regularly every day with news
which purports to be telegraphed to
them from all sections Of the country.
All AiNSN II elhhS dA uNAiDNl oNNAs NDh-
eocted to deceive and mislead voters
and the general public as TO the condi-
tions OF the campaign. We look for
some vile canard to be sprung on the
eve Of the election, too late to be met |
by the proof of its falsity in the usual |
manner. The memory Of the famous |
'Morey Letter" ought to be kept fresh |
in the mind Of every voter We would
not be surprised 10 see something in
that line started during the few days
before the November election. The free
silver leaders are desperate. Their
boastful claims Of an enormous victory
are without foundation. They know
the popular tide is running against free
silver. They are desperate and will re-
sort to any trick in order TO capture
votes enough to give them an excuse
to keep up the internal agitation which
has almost ruined the country, even af-
ter McKinley's election.

Enright, a veteran In labor organtza-
ton, and at present a member OF the
executive board " the Iron Moulders
Union OF Chicago, Their report has
Just been published. and II Is a docu-
ment which ought to be read by every
workingman IN the country, Among
other statements these gentlemen make
as the result OF their Investigations are
the following;
we found that the price of labor in
that country has been decreasing.
while the cost OF commodities has
been increasing, There is nothing like
industrial Independence In that coun-
try, and there cannot be anything of
THE sort as Ions as present conditions
continue,
"A carpenter gets Is cents a day In
Mexico, and a bricklayer halt that
"amount: they don't have much lett Il
they buy much after the family Is
"ted. . \ printer only gets ON an
average 90 cents a day, and painters
hut little more,
An American could not and would
mot live the way the Mexican does,
He is Il man and y Mexican is not,
|. The Mexican laborer cannot al
ford to pay 81 per pound for butter or
IS cents per pound for huur a loaf OF
bread being cents; sugar is double

and vegetables, ham, potatoes and
"other things which are necessary to
"us here he cannot touch at all,
THE Mexican workingman knows
nothing OF clothes. blankets. shawls,
hosiery and such things, Labor is de-
based, and SO are those who labor.
The cost OF commodities is the direct
"and unavoidable result Of a depreciat-
led money, perpetually huctuating in
value This forces every trader and
"middleman and transporter to add
something to his charge, in order 70
Insure himself against possible loss II
"the money he receives shrinks in pur-
chasing power. He buys in the United
States or elsewhere commodities cost
ing IS cents in gold. which means that
they cost him 100 cents in silver. but
'as the silver varies from day to day
and may at any time so lower before
"he can buy another stock to replace
THE one sold. he must put on an extra
charge 10 cover the anticipated risk.
The TRANSPORTER must settle wi.h for
"eign creditors in gold. and 50 must
charge for possible depreciation OF the
money he receives. The government
itself has to raise money 10 meet for
'eign obligations, and must fix taxes
high enough TO cover the probable !
cost Of the gold TO be paid. Every
step from the land or the mine to the |
final consumer is thus rendered more !
costly, in order to cover the risk Of
deprecated currency. The whole
comes from the wages OF labor, be-
cause under such circumstances the
prosperity to support advancing
prices is not possible"
