CHORUS.
Now in full chorus join the song
And shout aloud for Washington.
The campaign of 1904 brought out
the grave but stirring song of "Jeffer-
son and Liberty and that of 1903 was
responsible for the extremely clever dit
ty called 1.-The Snug Little Island" At
this campaign the celebrated Rag, Tag
and Bobtail'' songs appeared, in which
the Jeffersonian Republicans defended
themselves from the stigma cast upon
them by the upper ten, or silk stocking,
cult of Baltimore.
When II take the responsibility
Jackson was elected, in 1882, the first
states rights song made its appearance,
and another which gained great popular
ity was called "The Brooches of Blue. -
The gist of the latter was:
Economy's good in its place.
It's good to have brooches OF blue;
It's better to patch up your old panta1oons
Than pay out your money for new.
Coming down to 1848, the supporters
of General Zachary Taylor sang a lot
of dOggerel, with the refrain:
Wen put Old Zach in the White House, boy,
And Old Whitley in the stable.
Old Whitley was the name of General
Taylor's war horse. But other songs
became popular in this campaign, and
among them were ''Toe the Marx, -

of the spontaneous and volunteer order,

lar is now worth, intrinsically, about 50 cents. Wheat has advanced 13 cents a bushel, which advance, it is estimated, has put about SIS, s,5OO 900 into the pock- cts of the holders of the cereal.
 If the government should adopt free silver it would put 35,O0O,O0O a year into the pockets of the 100 persons who represent the great silver trust.
 The silver trust represents over S600,- 000,O00. That is an immense sum of money, and if the power of wealth is as great as it is said to be, the silver mine owners should be able to manipulate the market to some degree to their own advantage. Theirpower is concentrated, and back of them would be the i'm mense power of the great silver inter- ests of the world. Yet this immense power cannot prevent the fall in the price of the white metal.
 Wheat, however, goes up. Responsive to that memorable law against which no human will or combination can prevail, the price advances. In the fuctuation of the price of the wheat and silver, the intelligent observer sees the whole phil osophy of the operation of the laws of value.
 It has been maintained by the advo- catcs of the Bryan school of economists that there was indissoluble union be. tween the prices of silver and of wheat. Like Hans Breitman's party, it may bs asked, where is that union now?
 In fact, every illustration used by tho Bryanites to point their morals and adorn their tales, comes sooner or later to be turned against them.-Albany Journal.

REVIEW OF TRADE,

India Taking American Wheat-Unusually
 Large foreign Demand for Corn-Th, Failures.
 NEW YORK. Oct l0-R q. Dun q Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says: Distinctly better conditions of trade have appeared of late and are refecting in some. | what larger employment of labor. in target | transactions and in continued buying of mate. rials for manufacturing. A great part of the | change Is due to those restless laws of supply | and demand which take wheat where 1t ii wanted and gold where 1t is wanted India Is waiting for cargoes of wheat on the way from Pacific states. just as Australia and Soutt America were not so long ago The surplus usually available soon disappears and the sur. plus from Russia and European countries ii reduced, according to late estimates, a, ,OOO 0O( bushels.
 Happily. this country has Q supply which omcial accounts have not correctly measured If actual movements do not greatly mislead. Western receipts for the week were 7.a49. .Ot bushels. against 7.3,i,a7i last week. and this follows an increase of ltOOJ 900 bushels in re. ceipts during the quarter ending September 3 |. Atlantic exports, 2,O69.U7l bushels. flour in. cluded, for the week, against i,7J7 ,6s9 last year are not yet so large as to force prices upward If European buying based on European needs did not control our markets.
 A feature Of large importance, too, is the unusually large foreign demand for corn, which is rarely failing sign of deficient crops abroad, where other grains are used instead when wheat becomes scarce and dear.
 Failures for the week were 29d in the United States, against 26S last year, and 3d in Canada, against 53 last year.

BISHOP kEANE'S DEPOSITION.

It Means the Supremacy of the Clerical
 Parry in the Catholic Church In Amer
 lea.
 NEw YORK, Oct. 9.--The deposition If Bishop Keane from the rectorship of the Catholic university at Washing ton, which was announced immediately after the arrival of Mgr. Martipclli, the new papal delegate. has been re. garded as the first sign of a movement that is to shake the entire American Catholic hierarchy. There has been friction between the ultramontane and liberal factions ever since Arch bishop Ireland took his memorable stand on the American school ques- tor. A prominent layman of New York, whose influence at Rome has al. ways been recognized, says: Tt means nothing less than restoration of the supremacy of the ultramontane, or clerical, party in the American church. As such it must be regarded as the most important in the history of the church since Archbishop Ireland ap- pealed to Rome to sustain him, as against the clericals. and especially the archbishop of New York, in the famous school question"

 OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 9.-Merchant Rosenb'oom, of Omaha, was yesterday refused his citizenship papers in the district court because he could not name the number of representatives each state has in congress. C. k. Scott, who has obtained more or less noto- riety through his arbitrary course on the bench, presided. Rosenbloom was subjected to a severe fire of cross-ques- tioninp, but answered correctly as to the manner of electing the president of this country, the requirements of a foreign citizen desiring to become naturalized, the number of senators and representatives Nebraska has in congress, but when asked to name the number of representatives each state has in congress he was stumped. He offered to name some of them, but this was not satisfactory to the court.

LINcoLN.DoUoLAS DEBATE.

Its 3sth Anniversary at Galesburg. Ill.,. Ap-
 propriately Celebrated by Knox College.
 GALEsBURs, Ill.,, Oct. 9.-The cele- bration of the 3sth anniversary of the Lincoln Douglas debate by Knox col lege yesterday surpassed the expecta- tions of it's promoters. The exercises were heard by thousands of people. The chief event of the day was an ora. tion by Chauncey M. Depew, who was introduced by President John H. Fin ley as the greatest orator of the day. Hon. Robert Lincoln, who followed MT. Dcpew. emphasized the fact that in the long run the people are always right. He expressed profound gratitude for the tribute paid to the memory of his father. $. S. Mcclure, of New York, spoke of the college raising a Lincoln science hall as an enduring monument to commemorate the debate and the memory of Lincoln. The address of Senator John M. Palmer, the friend of both Lincoln and Douglas, followed and was an hour in length. In com parison of the men, he commended Lincoln's ability and logical frankness. Senator Palmer placed a high estimate on the services of Mir. Douglas, saying his acquaintance with him ripened into a most profound respect for his great a ahilities

MURDER AND ROBBERY.

The Bank of sherbourne, Minn.. Rsidcd by
 Masked Mon on Bicycles.
 HARMONY. Minn., Oct. 9.-Two masked and bicycle-mounted robbArs swept into the little town of Sher- burne, 14 miles from here, yesterday, dashed into the Bank of Sherburne, murdered the cashier, by-stander and secured $l,OOO from the cash tray, mounted their wheels and escaped be- fore the eyes of the startled villagers. The affair was conducted with all the bravado of the border drama, and the killing of the two men. one of whom died instantly, was purely wanton, as neither made any resistance.
 At about 1:3O o'clock two masked men walked through the front en- trance of the bank to the cashiers box and, without word, whipped out their revolvers and leveled them at Cashier Thorburn. The latter did not move, but the next minute the report of two revolvers rang out and Cashier Thor burn fell at his desk. At another desk in the bank stood Oerstern, travelling man. He was the only immediate bar to the ends to which the robbers sought to gain, and as Thorburn fell to the floor they turned and shot him dead. AS quickly as possible they leaped over the railing and secured $1 ,O0O in cash. They then ran for the back door of the bank, where they had taken the pre-. eau tion to leave their bicycles, mount ed them and rode away.

Two Business Blocks Burned, Causing .
 Loss of S2OO,OOO.
 CORNING, Ia., Oct. l0.-Two of Corn. ing's best business blocks .were en. tirely wiped out by fire yesterday morn. ing. The blaze originated in the H. J. Reinold's elevator. The flames made quick work of this and spread to two box cars in the C., E. X Q. yards. When one of the cars was almost con. sumed it was discovered that m un. known man had either perished in the flames, or had been murdered and placed there by tramps.
 The city fire department was una ble to cope with the fire, as the boiler at the water works station was not in shape for work and was undergoing repairs. When the elevator was burned and the burning mass was we'll under control, most of the citizens went to their homes, but were immediately called out again, as a strong wind had arisen and another fire started. In less than two hours, the two best blocks were in ruins and S2OO, 900 worth of property had been destroyed.

 "What we pride ourselves mostly on ia our sassiety," said the landlord of the leading hotel in Waycross, Ariz., to a guest from the east, who told the story to a Star reporter.
 "You couldn't find more refined sas. siety anywhar in this country thar right nyar. My darter plays the pianer sings and talks four languidges, nnt countin' Iniun.

 At that moment there was a sound from the street as though riot hac started. We rushed to tho window and a crowd of excited men, women and boys were following a man who was hound and being driven along the mid dle of the street.
 "What does it mean?" I asked.

 NoBLEsvILLE, Ind, Oct l0-Albert Bray, aged 39, a prosperous farmer and very religious man, cut the throats Of his wife, his nine.year-old son Carl, his two-year-old daughter Edna and himself The crimes were committed between midnight and daylight yester. day morning, five miles north of here. The wife and children died without a struggle, but Bray, with gaping wound in his throat two inches deer and six inches in length, lived until noon without regaining consciousness. The work was done with . razor, with which he used to do his own shaving. Both Bray and his wife have been in poor health. Bray procured a large hand ax and crushed the skulls of his victims after he had used the razor upon them. Bray, owing to sickness in his family and some financial em. barrassment, lost his reason.

the purchasing power of our circulat- ing medium from $1,500, ,000,000 as at present, to about $500,000.000. Every man of intelligence knows the panic, ruin and commercial disaster which would be sure to follow. Mir. Bryan himself knows it; for at Ackley. Ia., he admitted that the first effect of the success of the free coinage demand would be to bring on a panic. How long would such n panic last? Will it be one year or five years? No man can answer. It would last until all busi- ness engagements would become ad- justed to the radical changes in value. No farmer needs to be told that in times of panic he cannot get good prices for what he has to sell Business panics simply ruin the market, and he, being forced to sell his crops as they are raised. must sell for what he can get at the time.
 Now let us suppose we have reached that period where business affairs are becoming adjusted to a debased cur rency. The man who eats what the farmer grows, is the man who works for wages. All contracts for wages are now on the basis of dollars equal in purchas- ing power to the present gold dollar. When the panic is over, and prices of all commodities begin to rise to q level corresponding to the decline in value of the dollar. what will be the position of the wage-worker? His condition will measure the amount of prosperity that the farmer is to get, because it is his purchases that will make the farmers market. It is law absolute and un- changcable. that the wages are the last thing to rise. His employees will grant him an increase of wages slowly, and only when forced to do so. There will be struggle for years and years be- tween employers and employees, and wages will go up but slowly. This means then that the purchasing power of his wages will for years be less than now: consequently, he will be forced to buy less than at present. This being so. there will be less market for wheat, and meats and farm products generally, un- less the farmer will sell more to him for the same amount of money. In- stead. therefore, of getting better prices for what he has to sell, the farmer will find his market restricted, because the workingman's wages are changed but little and that slowly, and the prices of his products will be exactly iu pro portion to the purchasing power of tho wages of the workingman.
 Instead, therefore, of getting twice

Atkinson's Majority for Governor in the
 Neighborhood of 35,OOO.
 ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 9.-Advices re- ceived by the Journal from com bined official and unofficial sources fix the total democratic majority at 30, 129 This estim ate is based on the vote for Atkinson for governor, which is in many cases less than that cast for the other state officials. It is not believed the final returns will materially alter this estimate. The legislature is al- most solidly democratic in both branches, insuring practically the unan. imous election of ex-Speaker Crisp to the senate to succeed Senator Gordon. The official returns from McDufiie county. the home of Thomas E. Wat son, show that the populists have carried it by 5o4 majority. Seaborn Wright, the populist candidate for governor, carries his home county, Floyd, former democratic strong. hold, by 200 majority.

as much for his wheat and hogs, he will at first get the same as now, and any further advance will be just us slow as the advance in wages. At the same time, however, when he wants to buy cloth or machinery or any other manufactured product, he will find the prices marked up promptly. The manufacturer may be slow in marking up wages, but he will be prompt in marking up the prices of what he has to sell. The farmer will then find that, while he now gets 50 cents in gold for his bushel of wheat, he will then get 50 cents on the silver standard, but, when he wants to trade that 50 cents at the store. twill only go one-half as far as his present 50 cents goes. In the end, after years of ceaseless struggle, conditions may become so adjusted that the ratio between wages and general prices will again become equitable; but long before that will be n fact thousands and thousands of farmers will have been forced to give up the struggle, their farms will have been lost, and their children will won. der at the shortsightedness of their fathers in supporting a policy which finally wrought their ruin.
 The kernel for farmers to grasp is the fact that prices for their products depend upon the wages paid the wage earning class. When free silver cuts those wages down in purchasing power it cuts down the market, and therefore the pr:,e for farm products. While a depreciated currency means higher prices for what the farmer has to buy, it means low wages, and therefore low prices for what he has to sell. The fate of the farmer and the fate of the wage earner are locked up together. | When one is struck the other feels the blow.-Farmers' Union and Agricul- tural Review.

UNDER FREE SILVER.
What the Effect Would Be If Bryan Were
 Elected.

What the Effect Would Be If Bryan Were
 Elected.
 Let US see what the immediate effect of the election of Mir. Bryan would be, so far as our stock of money is con cerned. We now have in circulation, in round numbers, 6OO,OO0, ,000 in gold and gold certificates. O,OOO,0 ,0OO in silver and silver certificates and $500,000, 900 in United States notes, national bank notes and other forms of paper. This gives us circulating medium of about $l, ,5OO, ,OO0. 900 based on gold standard, with every dollar as good as every other dollar and every dollar as good as gold dollar.
 With free coinage of silver the pur- chasing value of every dollar will drop at once to the bullion value of the sil- yer in the silver dollar, that being then the standard. just as now every dollar stands at the bullion value of the gold dollar, it being the standard. The bullion value of silver may advance little for a time, just as it did after the passage of the Sherman law in 1890, but the increased production of silver which such an advance would bring about. would soon drive it down again perhaps lower than now.
 The $500, ,OOO, ,0O0 in gold and gold cer- tificates would go out of circulation at once. That would go into permanent hiding since no one would be foolish enough to pay debt with a gold dol lar worth as much as two silver dol lars. when the law gives the silver dol lar the same legal tender power. This would contract our circulating cur rency by n little more than one-third. Silver then being the standard of value, the purchasing power of every dollar and of every paper dollar not redeem able in gold would decline to the vplue of the bullion in the silver dollar. This would contract the purchasing power of the rest of the currency left in cir culation by about one-half.
 The first effect of Mir. Bryan's cleo. tion, therefore, would be to contract
