Sixteen for One.

A Georgia editor rhymes the
free silver business as follows:
He said, my love, It's sad,
That We cannot agree,
You are for glittering gold,
While I'm for silver free.
Let's kiss now, and make up,
How many must take?
TO let you know love you,
And love you for your sake?
'Oh!' said she, well not fall out,
But We'll differ, just for fun;
Dear John, stick to your politics,
Take sixteen, love for one.

A Connecticut manufacturin g
concern which has been making
campaign buttons of brass mod >
eled after the United States
quarter eagle has been warned
by the Government to desist, as
this is against the currency laws.
The dies were destroyed under
the direction of the Government.
The buttons are now made after
a design of a Canadian coin,
which very much resembles the
quarter eagle.

WANTED TO MARRY HIS
WIFE.
THE PECULIAR DILEMMA OF AN
AGED PENNSYLVANIA COUPLE.

1t IS not often that a man
wants to marry the wife with
whom he has lived happily for
nearly fifty years. Such a man
is Thos. McKelvey, of Union
vile, Pa. He is SO years old,
and, will: his wife, went to West
Chester, Pa, few days ago, and
applied to Clerk of the Court
Blair for a marriage license.
McKelvey aud his wife have
been married nearly halt a cen
tury. Recently their home was
broken into by burglars, and
among the articles stolen was
their Certificate of marriage. The
minister who married them has
long since died, and all the wit
nesses have gone to the great be-
yond. McKe1vey is a vetran of
the late war, and draws a pen,
sion. He fears that he may die
soon, and without the certificate
his widow would be unable to
prove her claims to pension
To avoid any trouble he propos-
es to take out anotherlice and
get married to his wife again.
Clerk Blair could not issue
him license, but advised the
old couple, who were greatly
troubled when their plan failed,
to go before a Justice of the
Peace and make afidavits that
they were man and wife, with
witnesses, and there would be no
trouble such as they feared.
This they did and left for home
happy.

people, the horny handed people,
are given the pick and shovel.

be governed they are informed
that they must take a back seat.

BRYAN AND OMENS.
IF THERE is ANYTHING IN
OMENS BRYAN IS ON THE
UNLUCKY SIDE.
FRIDAY AND NO. Is.
Nominated on Friday, Occupied
Room No. I3, and Lett
Chicago On July 13.

If there is anything III oinens
William Jennings Bryan would
seem to be on the unlucky side,
says the Chicago Tribune. Not
only did his nomination happen
on Friday, but he was assigned
to and occupied room No. IS at
the Clifton House during con-
vention week. He also took
another room, No. SO, when Mrs.
Bryan arrived here, but he new
ertheless hung on to No. IS as
as long as he remained in the
city.
1t is curious fact, too, in this
connection, as illustrating the
extent to which No. 13 entered
into his life in Chicago, that he
left the city for his former home
i'll Salem, Illinois, on the 18th
day of the month.
1t may be that Mr. Bryan, in
defiance of time honored super
stltion, looks upon Is as an
omen of good rather than i'll
fortune. Either that or there
will be many who will see in
this commingling of No. IS and
Friday evidences of disaster
awaiting the ambitious young
Nebraskan.
1t is probably the fact, how
ever, that he had more fun for
his money that any of the other
visitors during convention week
tor his bill at the Clifton House
for both himself and Mrs. Bryan
amounted to only $3.50.
A few days after his arrival he
handed Mr.. Kohler a package of
bills amounting to $50, with the
request that he place it in the
office safe. This was done, and
On the day of his departure he
walked up to the cashiers Win
dow and asked for his bill, at the
same time calling for the 500,
and expressing the hope that it
was sufficient to square his &C
He was told by Clerk Kohler
hat 1t was more than enough,

:eipred bill and $1,000 he said,
With much satisfaction: "If there

The remark was overheard bv
eVeral men who were standing
lear, and laugh was raised by
me of them say: at once cost

lation for Governor.

BENEFITS FROM FREE COIN.
AGE.
THE WORLDS BIGGEST RETAIL
MERCHANT TELLS OF GOOD
RESULTS.

hrm OF olegel, Cooper & Co, {
Chicago and New York, the big
gest retail firm i'll the world, LA
just returned from Europe. Sal
Mr.. Cooper:
1--WE can make everythin:
over here that is made abroad
but with Mr.. Mckinley as Pres
ldent our currency may becom'
even more contracted than it /
to-day, as single standard, /
adopted, would work ruin to thi
country and make times harde:
than they are.
II can'e see anything but gooe
to result from the free coinage
of silver. True, it will benefit
the mine owners; it will also
benefit the miners and benefit
the West. 1t will give the far
lner money. it will make better
prices for farm products; it will
make the farmer a buyer in oul
markets.
"Times can be no worse than
they are at present. Our cur
rency is not expansive enough
for the demands of the people.
Frauce has $40 per capita of
money in circulation, and its
people are prosperous and happy.
We have but $40 per capita. We
need more money and free silver
coinage will put all end to busi-
ness stagnation.
"Our factories are closed and
our artisans and mechanics are
out of work. More money will
make higher prices, better de>
mand for goods and a revival of
prosperity.
Goods and produce are too
cheap, because people have no
money to buy them. The de-
probation IN prices On some
lines of goods has been more
than 50 per cent. in the past six
Can merchants and
manufacturers stand this?
with free silver the price of
wheat and corn would enhance
in value at once. Dollar wheat
for the farmer makes him look
at his clothes. When they are
frayed he buys new. He refur-
nishes his house, if it is needed,
and SO helps to start the furniture
factories going again. 1t is SO
in all lines. The more money
the greater demand for goods.
ga siugle gold standard would
bring prices still lower and more
failures and more disaster for the
people. We are partially upon
4 bi-lnetallic basis now and that
IS in measure our salvation.
"Contract our currency to SIS
Or sI2 per capita and the result
would be such as no one could
figure. Talking of free silver,
our mints could not turn out
over $6o,ooo,ooo per year-less
han 81 to every inhabitant.
Would that flood the country?
1t would restore prices, conf
1ence and resuscitate business.
That, think, is about what free
silver would do for us. We want |
10 take care of ourselves first;
European countries are able to
AXE care of themselves"
