why silver is Cheap.

In 1873 the total product of silver in the
world was 81, 100, 600 ounces and the silver
in dollar was worth Sl.04 in gold.
Last year the worlds product of silver
was 1875, 900, 900 ounces and the silver in a
dollar was worth only so 7-10 cents.
In 1894 the potato crop of the United
States was, in round numbers, 10, 1000, 900
bushels and the average price SO cents.
In 1895 the estimated potato crop was
400, 900, 900 bushels and the average price
was 26 cents.
The fall in both cases was due to the
same cause. But when the farmers pota-
toes fall to half the former price, how
much good will it do him to compel him to
take silver dollars for them worth only sc
cents each? That brings the 26 cents
down to - cents.

Life and Ills Habits.
William Mckinley will be the first presi-
dent of the United States since the war,
chosen as the exponent of doctrine. As
the godfather of protection, he is the most
famous candidate since Grant, for his fame
extends over the civilized world. Hayes,
Garfield Harrison and Cleveland, were all
practically unknown outside of the United
States when they were elected
William Mckinley comes of that north
of Ireland stock from which so many ia
nous Americans have come. His ances-
tors came to this country from the north
ern part of Ireland in the year 1850 and
settled in Pennsylvania. His father owned
an interest in an iron foundry at Niles, a
small town in eastern Ohio. Here, in a
frame building, two-storied and gable
rooted, part store and part dwelling, the
future statesman first saw the light of day
on January 20, 1913.
William Mckinley, ST., was man Of
character and strict honesty. His large
family was often burden, but he conscien-
tiously performed what he tn ought was his
duty, and made every possible sacrifice for
the sake of his children. 1t was his ambi-
ton to give each one good education and
make them useful men and women. In all
this he was more than seconded by his
wife, who was Campbell, and woman
of rare qualities.
The boy, William, was but five years old
when he entered the village school at Niles.
Later on he proceeded with his studies at a
more advanced school in the village of

Vermont and Free silver.
(Air; The Bowery.)

(Air; The Bowery)
They had an election in Vermont state,
Both silver and gold had candidate.
The people had talked 1t for months before.
And listened to orators chin galore;
The farmers had argued it con and pro,
There wasn't point that they didn't know.
And nobody knew how the thing would go
But oh; have you heard from Vermont!
CHORUS.
Free silver free silver
Now what do you think
OF fifty-eent chink-
Free silver. free silver
OH what do you think of Vermont
They told all the farmers twould boost their crops
And double the price Of their corn and hops;
If only they'd vote for sixteen to one
And fifty cent dollars, the thing was done;
They told 'em the scheme was reg lar "beaut,"
The mortgage would pick up its legs and scoot,
And they would be flooded with coin to boot
But, oh have you heard from VermontS
Free silver! free silver!
Oh! how you did dote
On the farmers vote
Free silver free silver!
Oh what do you think Of Vermonty
They counted the votes when the day was done,
And all that remained of sixteen to one'
Were a small grease spot and a pungent SMELL
But not enough ballots to pay TO tell;
Free silver is buried way down so deep,
1t never again will be heard TO peep,
And Buncombe Bills boom has been put to sleep
For oh. have you heard from VermontY
Free silver Free silver
You're nipped in the bud,
And your name is mud.
Free silver Free silverl
OH what do you think of Vermonti

Georgia is enamo-ed of Mary Ann Hardiman
pretty spnster of the ueighborhood, whom he
had Courted as lad, but whose father had brok
en- up the match Matt Digby, another spinster,
and a great meddler, is bound that Joel shall not
marry Mary Ann, and this does not seem likely
to come about, for Mary Ann knows that Joel
promised his wife on her deathbed that he would
not marry again, and she considers such prom.
Use sacred Joel tries to persuade Mary Ann and
when she refuses he takes to going on sprees.
One night he stays away from the Cove, and Ma
ry Ann goes oyer to his house and takes care of
his little children. On his return the next day he
explains that he has not been on spree, but that
he has been kept away by jury service. He tells
her that he is going to give up drinking. She is
much affected. The day after this he dresses up
in his best clothes and goes over TO see her.
