said by either a Democrat or Republi-

both have been tried and one is as
bad as the other this excuse is no longer
available. Try the Peoples party once
and see If 1t don't do better.

take it at that rate That is where all this
thing comes in. 1t is trade, it is the mer-

Patriotic Vtteraneca of the Republican
Candidate,
We never had greater prosperity In this
country in every field OF employment and
Industry than IN the busy years from 1880
To 1892, during all of which time this
country was ON II gold basis and employed
more gold money in its fiscal and business
operations than ever before. We had, too,
protective tariff under which ample roy
enues were collected for the government
and M accommodating surplus which was
constantly applied to the payment Of the
public debt. Lot us hold fast to that
which We know is good 1t is not more
money we want. What we want is to put
the money we already have at work When
money is employed, men are employed
Goth have always been steadily and re.
muneratively engaged during all the years
of protective tariff legislation,

Bryan's Incapacity For Understanding,
Mr., Bryan is certainly remarkable
man, being still so young. wonder how
he found time to accumulate so enormous
Il store of misinformation and to develop
so mature an incapacity for understanding
this subject l say this in all seriousness,
compelled by my respect for the exalted
office to which Mr.. Bryan asplres. Consid-
ering that for years the discussion of these
questions has been his only business, and
that he has remained so entirely unac-
quainted with the most rudimentary Of
economic principles and with the most
conspicuous of business experience, we
must coneede that he docs not only not
know, but Is unable TO learn. Imagine him
as president of the United States parading
such childish absurdities in his messages.
1t would make us the laughing stock Of
the world, and every self respecting Amer
lean would hang his head in shame

There are two things which deeply
and personally interest the wCrkingmen /;
they are work and wages. They are not
satisfied with irregular work at made
quate wages; they want the American
standard applied to both. They are not
satisfied with steady work and poor
wages; they want regular employment
at rerlunerative wages, with steady
work; they want to be paid III sound
money; they do rot want to lose any
part of their hard earnings through
poor dollars, aud they do not want to
be paid in dollars whose value can only
be asceriained by the daily market re-
ports. Whatever work they now have is
paid III good money, and no complaint
is nide on that score. They are salts
fed with the money, but they are not
satisfied with either the scant work or
tho reduced wages. They are satisfied
with the present dollar bill, but they
are not satisfied with the present tariff
bill. William Mckinley to Laboring

Greatest Sufferer From DECEASED Money.
No one suffers so much from cheap
money as the farmers and iaborers.
They are the first TO feel its bad effects
