do they have girl walters where

'Yes-that is, think so; why do you
ask"
"Oh. it doesn't matter if you never

they tell me that in some of the restau-

the men iirt with them awfully."
But, of course, darling, you would
not think that of me?'
mo, George don't think you would
flirt with anybody"
'Of course not; but you did worry
just tiny bit about those pretty table
girls?"
Why, George, what are you saying?
You speak OF them as being pretty, ana
you know that you were unable to tell
me for certain whether there were any

WORD TO LABORERS.

A WOIID ~. LABORERS.
Two weeks ago we published a
brief article entitled IA Word to
Young Voters" Now we wish
to say a word to laborers. More
than 30 per cent Of the laborers OF
the United States that had regular
employment in 1892, are now out
of work and idle. Factories are
closed, mortgages are being placed
on their little homes and property
to buy the necessaries OF life.
WHY'S this , What caused such
sstagnation in business, in time OF
peace Is it because we need
more money coined. No /. We
have now more money in the
United States per capita than we
ever had. What we need and
want now is to get the money back
in circulation as it was prior to
1892 and a chance to go to work.
And tire wheels of our factories
running and to see clouds OF
smoke from our mills, work shops
and mines once more. How can
we get those factories opened
again and prosperous times back !
Can we get them back by the
parry that gave us these hard
times through free silver as that
party claims? We think not,
laborers, this free silver party
is the same, Tor part) OF the free
trade party that Congressman
Cousins says "led the laborers on
top Of the mountain four years
ago and opened the markets OF
the world for you to trade in free. "
The result is you have a free
market and no money. However,
you have the experience. Now
the same old free trade party
styled free silver party-wants to
lead yon to the top of the Rocky
mountains and trade on free
silver SO cent basis. Surely labor
ers you will not cruelty yourself
longer. Four years of demo.
cratic experience has fully shown
the inability OF that party to man
age this country. Vote tor the
long-tried party that always brings
prosperity and gives us the best
of everything. taborers don't be
misled as in 1892. The exper-
ience has taught us bitter lesson,
and proved the democratic ides
wrong. Support the party thai
has been tried and found faithful
for thiAy years.
