The farmers know what they are
about in supporting the cause of free sill
yer. They know that the restoration of
silver to the place demanded for it by
the constitution will stimulate business
activity to an extraordinary extent, and
free the United States from the gold
bondage of England. The golden chain
of the English capitalists has been drawn
so tightly, and .the farmers and other
business men have suffered SO severely
at each additional squeeze, that they are
now determined to assert their rights at
the ballot-box, and in this instance it
will be case of one for all, (the peopie)
and not all for one England)
The Republican party has declared
that it is ''opposed to free coinage of sill
yer except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations of
the world" and to this declaration it
adds that "until such agreement can be
obtained we believe the gold standard
must be preserved
International bimetallism is, however
under present conditions, only vague
dream of the distant future. The con-
dltions must change if there is to be any
prospect of it, and this change the Dem
ocratlc party proposes that the United
states shall effect by undertaking the
free coinage of both metals without
waiting for The aid or consent of any
other nation" The Democratic partv
has come out fair and square for bImet-
allism, and proposes that the United
States shall go it alone in the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver as
the United Colonies did IN the establish
ment OF free and independent states in
l776, and as provided for for by the
constitution.

A Religious Fanatics Death.

port, west of this city, met death near
Defiance while attempting to walk upon
the water in order to demonstrate tina,
his faith was equal to that of the Sa-
viour. He was an ardent supporter Of
the doctrine of the Seventh-day Advent
lists, recently becoming somewhat unbaI.
anced in mind. Last week he was mar
ried to young woman of Evansport.
and since that time he has spent ali his
leisure moments reading the Bible.
He was at work for neighbor. when
he and companion started for dinner.
When they reached the dam at the Tiff
fin river he said he would cross on the
river, as his faith was sufficient He
spent some moments in prayipg and
singing hymns and then bodily started
on the water. Some boys who saw him
say he appeared to walk all right for
several steps, when suddenly he began
to founder about, finally sinking from
sight, singing as he went down. Life
was extinct when the body was recoy-

Daring Hold up In vest Virginia.

Charleston, w. Va, September % -
A daring hold up occurred on the Short
Line railway between Sewall and Cliff
Top, eight miles from this city Joe
Thompson, who came from the west
about year ago, learned that w. L
Wilson, bookkeeper and paymaster of
the Longdale Iron company, at Cliff
Top, was going up the road in the af-
ternoon TO pay off the men. Wilson
had 81 800 with him, and rode on the
engine. When the train reached a
lonely spot in the mountains Thompson,
who had boarded the train, held up all
those in the engine at the point of two
revolvers. He suddenly grabbed the
money from Wilson and jumped from
the engine. Wilson shot at Thompson
twice and missed him. Thompson re-
turned the fire, shooting Wilson fatally.
Thompson made good his escape and
Wilson is dying. A posse is in pursuit.
and lynching is expected.

Mr.. BRYAN, at Richmond, says the
New York Journal, delivered a speech
which, were it in the hands of every vo-
ter In the United States, would SO spread
education on the financial problem as to
cause the gold standard advocates to be
faced everywhere by an audience compe
tent to detect their misstatements and to
scorn their fact-observipg rhetoric about
.ssound money" which is notsound, and
the National honor" which Is quite
as dear to other citizens as to their priv
ileged selves. Here is a paragraph from
the Richmond speech that is worth miles
of ordinary campaign oratory:
1--WE apply the law of supply and de-
mand to money. We say the value of
dollar depends on the number of dol
lars, and that you can raise the value of
dollar by making the dollars scarce,
and we charge that our opponents are in
favor of making money scarce because
money dear. II you are in favor of dear
money you ought to vote the Republican
ticket. If you are in favor of making
money the only thing which it is desira-
BILE to own and making property the
thing that every body wants to get rid of,
you want to vote the Republican ticket,
because the Republican party proposes
to continue the present financial system,
the object of which is to make it more
profitable to hoard money and get the
increase in the rise of the value of dol
lar than to put that dollar to work en-
ploying labor and developing the re-
sources of this great country"
That Is good sense. 1t is the great is
sue of the campaign. If Il e people de-
sire a continuance of the existing finan-
cial tumble, which is at the mercy OF
| speculators and which has paralyzed the
business interests of rich new country,
| filled with an industrious population,
they will defeat Bryan and the Demo
cratic party and elect Mckinley, who re-
presents the syndicates, the trusts and
the fieecers of the people in general.

Dunbar Politician Killed.

Dunbar, Pa September 27.-James
Clifford. well-known politician of this
town and superintendent of the Dunbar
Fire Brick Company, was killed last
night. 1t is not known whether his
death was due to an accident or murder.
HIS body was found on the B d O.
tracks about two miles from here at A..
M. today. 1t had been run over by a
tram and was considerably mutilated.
Inc suspicion of foul play is caused by
the fact that Clifford drew a considera-
Ole sum of money from the bank here
yesterday, and there were only a few
cents found on his body. The suspic-
ION is strengthened by the fact that no
reason can be given why he would go to
the place where the body was found, and
there ls wound on the head which
would have caused death.

EVIDENCE is abundant to prove that
the general average of prices of staple
commodities has fallen from As to so
per cent. since 1878. The same is true
of property generally, except were spe-
cial causes have operated to counteract
the general downward tendency. The
effect was felt first in the prices of agri-
cultural products and then in farm lands
and farm labor. In fact, the decline
fell hrst on unorganized industries and
the products of unorganized labor. This
condition of things has led to combina-
tions of capital in the form of trusts and
combines of various kinds to UNFOLD
prices and increase profits. But in the
great department of agriculture. en-
bracing 40 per cent. of the entire popu-
lation, and giving support primarily to
all, this has been impossible, and hence
this greatest of all the industries began
to suffer first, and has thus far suffered
most.

FROM the probate records of some OF
our eastern states and from the Impair
tiai investigations of Mr.. George X
Holmes, of the United States mortgage
census, 1t appears that little group of
under five thousand millionaires own
one-tifth OF the wealth of the country,
and that one-eight of the population,
Including these millionaires, own about
seven-eights of its wealth, while over
half of the population possess nothing
but little cheap furniture and perhaps
a hundred dollars besides. The Demo-
cratic party wisely pledges itself to at
tack some of the worst causes of this ex-
cessive inequality. With equal wisdom
1t promises such redistribution of the
burdens of taxation as will exact from
each citizen support of government in
proportion to his ability to support him.

PITTSBURGH EXPOSITION.

Never before in the history of the an
nuaI exhibition of the Western Pennsyi-
yania Exposition Society have the local
paDerS been so unanimous In their
praise. The beauty of the decora tons
of the Main building together with the
great Improvement caused by the addi-
ton of the music wing, giving seats for
1900 people, make an interior which
compares with anything of its kind ever
shown in the world. The Exposition is
now In complete working order. Both
buildings are replete with Interest TO
those who are interested in inventions
and manufactures. There are number
less devices in electric lighting, electri-
cal engines. gas engines. and exhibits

should he studied by our business and

The Art Gallery contains about 300
pictures. including fine examples OF the
best contemporary American painters
and from the ella SSic masters in art. Two
truly notable pictures are the great

done well. The Democratic press of
these states, under the same money in
