CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Is the story true that thousands of
laboring men are wearing Mckinley but
tons who intend to vote. for Bryan? We.
rather guess not. The laboring man IS
not that sort of a hypocri5e. if we cor
rectly estimate him. and it IS an insult 10.
ann to say otherWisr.
Mr.. Mckinley said: iGoOd moacy
never made hard times" Mr.. Bryan
said: Money can lie too good" Will
the people of this country have diff. guilty
in determining which is right?
Among the best speeches being made
in this campaign. are those coming from
that little tWo-St5ry porch at Canton.
IT requires No argument to zee Why
Bryan and his followers do no. evav.g to
talk about prorection.

Effect of Initiation.

Well. it is easy to mark up prices. A
man can go over his stock of goods in
the morning and mark them up with Il
blue pencil; but you cannot go over the
salaries and the wages of this country
with Il blue pencil in the morning ana
mark them up.
During our war. when we had an in
ilated currency and prices rose. the aver

cent; labor rose about 10 per cant.
There was Il net loss to labor of about
~ per cent. a net reduction of wages to
thar extent. Labor always, in ease of

and all experience shows it. They tried

that period; you find in the debates tf
