the same that the Greek and Latin
words mean. And the free silver move

If he refuses to let Mckinley talk, it
causes unfavorable comment and loses
him many votes, and if he does let him
talk, his speeches create open reVOltin

question. Advocate.
The fellows who think that Amer
lea cannot 90 it alone and attend to
her own affairs had better move out
for the plain, common people Of this
country are going to express them
selves on that point this fall and their
decision will be decidedly chilly for
the tory element il this country.-In-

Colorado and Illinois are running
second populist state tickets and sets Of
Bryan and Watson electors. Kansas is
to have an extra set of Bryan and
Watson electors. Ali these are just as
surely in the interest of Mckinley as
is the Palmer and Buckner gold demo-
erat ticket she that is not for me, is
against me. Exchange.

Since the silver craze struck them, So
out of the 81 members of the club will
vote for Bryan, so they changed the

Bryan and Watson should have the
field to themselves. That would make
a dandy ticket and rally to its support
every sincere currency reformer in the
land. Sewall, on the other hand, re-
pels many who would be attracted to
Bryan if his twin could be amputated.
Watson would Fepel no votes that have
not already gone OFF, He would at
tract many that have not yet come
over Exit Sewall, enter Watson, will
be found good policy. -NoncOnformist
Tom Watson has been a great IA
vorite of ours ever since we knew him,
and we believe him to be an honest,
able, sincere statesman, but we cannot
approve what seems to be his present
methods POpulists are true to him
and will stand by him, but he will
gain nothing and may lose much by
fomenting strife. Instead of encourag-
ing the dissatisfied he should seek in
every way possible to satisfy and &C.

Tho gold-bugs are nightly exer.
cised about wages" They n'tsleep
at night for thinking about the work
ingmen's wages. They lament lest
wages will not rise when silver is re-
monetized with other things. They
admit there viii be a general rise of
prices, They never tell the wage
Garner that he will find work then all
the time in place of losing half his
time and getting no wages as under
their present gold standard. He will
have six days work in place of three
and IS in place of $3.-Midland Jour
nal
The gold standard means that the
dollar will buy more and more all the
time and that prices will fall, and fall
ing prices mean hard times. Debts do
not fall, however, and consequently
the living expenses must be decreased,
and as the living expenses decrease, so
is the prosperity of the merchant de-
creased, and know of no way to re-
store prosperity except by increasing
the power of the people to consume,
and the only way you can do that is to
enable them to get more for what they
produce than they have Leen getting.

The intense eaTnestness OF the peO-
pie in this campaign has nowhere been
better illustrated than in Michigan.
| According to the laws of that state nc
candidate may run on more than one
ticket, so the democrats, populists and
silver republicans held simultaneous
conventions and agreed upon a joint
ticket without the slightest friction.
In an ordinary campaign such a result
would be impossible of attainment, but
the people realize that this is an extra
ordinary campaign and that nothing
must divide the advocates OF bimetaI
