A VISION.

I see four thousand millionaires, swelled
up with pomp and pride,
Who ek to rule this blessed land, no
matter what betide;
To poverty's distress and woe, their stony
hearts are cold;
Their creed is self; their aim, the sordid
gain of gold.
They are waiting for November, this
soulless Shylock pack; e
When, to push along" their schemes,
they'll vote for Major Nc.
I see five million farmers, in this broad,
fair land of ours;
To pay the mortgage on their homes
they are toiling many hours
While the prices for their products-wool,
oats, corn and wheat
Are fixed by nsbob gold bugs, in far.off
Lombard street. Me-
1 am waiting for November, to hear these
gold bugs whine;
These farmers won't do thing to
them" but vote for Willie Bryan.
see five million laborers, men worthy of
their hire,
Who still are clad in freemen's garb, and
not in serf's attire;
They will crush rnonopoly's greed; these
men Of iron and steel,
Despite intimidation and Coercion s
cruel heel.
am waiting for November, when
monopoly will repine,
And the "poor mans chance" grow
brighter as these myriads vote for
Bryan.
I see our maids and matrons, devoted,
true and fair;
The diamonds in their sparkling eyes
should be of water rare,
Lit by joyous life and hope, not by Star
vation's CLASSY stare.
1 am certain that our women, In this
crisis, will incline
To persuade The voters; those with whom
| pnoir hedr1s eubWln6,
To strike for "home and little ones" and
vote for Willie Bryan.
see the great host marching, which
never beats retreat
Columbia's sons will never sit at the
British lions feet.
Hurrahl Victory's notes are sounding
from the far off South and West;
The tidal wave is coming, with Bryan
upon its crest.
America shall be free! Lord, the glory
shall be thine,
On March 4 I'll listen to the inaugural
speech Of Bryan.

A CHANGE OF BASE.

"Cheap money and plenty Of it, that
is what we want" Such is the first
sentence of an editorial under the cap
ton "Cheap Money" found in the
Toledo Commercial in its issue of Mon
day. Then it proceeds to show that the
business interests Of the United States
are paying more for the use of money
than any nation on earth, and that
what we need is plenty of money with
as low rates of interest as prevails in the
old world to enable our people to start
every mill and factory in the United
States running full blast and to build
thousands of new ones. 1t further says
that should we get this cheap money,
urgent demand will be made for the
services of mechanics and workmen, and
poverty and enforced idleness will dis
appear and America will be the most
prosperous, happiest and industrious
land on earth, "Cheap Money" accord
ing to our recognized political econom-
lists, means "plenty of it'' as any other
commodity because cheap by reason of
its abundance.
If plenty of money will bring pros.
perity and happiness and that is a
necessary adjunct to the latter, what is
to be done with the poor workingman
and farmer who will be compelled to pay
higher prices for the products of the
farm and factory. Industry, happiness
and prosperity cannot permeate com
munity without there is profit in in
vestments that will give the farmer and
manufacturer profitable prices for their
products and the workingman good
wages.
The cry in this campaign which has
been proclaimed over and over again is
that it is not more money and plenty of
it that we need, but more protection
and that would at once open the shops.
The Republican press makes the state
ment daily that we have more money
per capita than we have even had Before,
and that any addition to our present
volume of money means disaster and
ruin. If the commercial statement is
true which, by'the.way, is direct con-
tradiction of the declaration of Major
Mckinley and prosperity cannot come
to this country without an increase of
money supply from some source, what is
the matter with utilizing American pro.
ducts to secure this additional money.
1t is an admitted fact conformed by
every business interest of the country
aside from the banks that there is de-
mand for more and cheaper money. To
say that We must induce Englishmen to
invest their money here or that Ameri-
cans must borrow 1t from Europe means

perience of its remarkable merits that
health and strength will in all cases
follow its use.
Hon. Mr.. Baldwin, Secretary Of the
Senate, State Attorney of Vermont and
Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee, is one of the foremost men of
this country. To show the honor in
which he is held by his state, it is only
necessary to say that at the last Presi-
Dental election he was elected Presi-
dental Elector for Vermont and mes

standing of the man who tells you to
use DR.. Greene's Nervura if you wish TO

RUSKIN NOT INSANE.
ME EMINENT AUTHOR SAID TO HAVE
RECOVERED FROM HIS MALADY.

Ais Cure Dates From the Time Of MiIlais'
Death-sad story of the Critics Friend
ship For the Artist and of His wifes
Abandonment,
Following close upon the heels Of the
lews Of the death Of Sir John Millais, the
minent English artist, who died in Au-
gust, comes seemingly we'll authenticated
report from England that John Ruskin,
who for many years has been considered
hopelessly insane, hasrecovered his mental
faculties so far as to resume his literary
work and is today as sound in mind as ever
and as strong physically as n man Of n
could be expected TO be.
To those who remember the connection
between these two men the two incidents
bring suggestion of q weird and almost
recalled, years ago surrendered his young
and beautiful wife to Millais, who was
then a young and struggling portrait
painter and the special protege Of the great
art critic. In that famous painting which
first attracted the attention Of the art
world to him, "The Order of Release" " it
was the face Of Mrs. Ruskin that looked
out of the living canvas.
TIL, story Is sad and romantic one. The
handl ONE and gifted young artist fell In
love with his beautiful model, forgetting
that she was already the wife Of his best
friend and most generous patron. His af-
fection was returned, and Ruskin, when
he discovered the drift that affairs had
taken, swallowed his great grief, and going
straight to Millais said: "Take her, my
friend. She is yours"
The details were soon arranged. Ruskin
allowed his wife to secure decree of di-
vorce on statutory grounds without at
tempting to make answer Indeed, he ar.
ranged the whole affair, so that it might
be done with as little publicity as possible,
Then he retired to his sylvan retreat N
Brentwood and tried to forget his trouble
in his work. For awhile he was outwardly
successful, but at last he failed entirely tc
conceal from his friends that the loss oi
his wife had imbittered his whole life.
Perhaps it was not this domestic tragedy
which turned his great genius into mad
ness, but the change came, and for almost
n decade his brilliant mind has beer
eclipsed by a mental cloud. But nov
comes the most startling feature Of tht
coincidence. A few days after the news o

A WORKOUT FAD.
"Spring Medicines,.' "BIood. Purifier
and "Tonics" an Old Fash
toned Idea.

Pure blood, strong nerves and muscles,
firm healthy flesh can only come from
wholesome food we'll digested. "Blood
purifiers" and "nerve tonics'' do not
reach the cause of the mischief. The
stomach is the point to be looked after.
The safest and surest way to cure any
form of indigestion Is to take after each
meal some harmless preparation which
will of itself digest food. There is an
excellent preparation Of this kind CON-
posed OF vegetable essences, pure pepsin,
Golden Seal and fruit salts, sold by drug
gists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and these tablets taken after
meals assist digestion wonderfully because
they will digest the food promptly before
1t has time to ferment and sour and the
weak stomach relieved and assisted In
this way soon becomes strong and vigor-
GUS again.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are superior
to any secret patent meuicines, because
you know what you are taking into your
stomach. They are sold by druggists
everywhere at 80 cents per package.

Sir Arthur Balfour, the noted English
bimetallist, says "It is permissible for
those who have formed their opinion on
the question of bimetallism, upon i'm
perfeoGly remembered scraps of economic
knowledge picked up fifty years ago, still
to hold the view that the bimetallist Is a
lunatic; but" he adds, ''I do not believe
that any man who has seriously consid-
cred the literature of this subject during
the last generation holds this opinion or
can possibly hold it."

are made the subjects of extraordinary
secret means of investigation" and if
they dare express an opinion in favor
OF Bryan and free silver, they are spotted
as though such an expression was trea.
son to the government. Yet th1 Re-
publican party claims to be the champ
ion of free ballot. 1t is not only pro-
posed by the millionaires of Wall street
and such enemies and bulldosers of labor
organizations as Mark Hanna, but they
boastfully claim that they have put un-
der secret investigation the men who
work for their daily bread. What for ?
The answer is an open one. That the
workers may be compelled to throttle
their own convictions and further bind
themselves to conditions that mean loss
of opportunities for advancement and
continual degradation and distress. 1t
means more. That the men in the
saddle today may stifie the inborn love
of liberty that is guaranteed to every
American citizen.
If the men who are pursuing these
damnable tactics think for one moment
that the independence of American citi
zens is plaything to be tossed about al
their every whim and caprice, they will
some day awaken to realization of the
startling fact that they have been nurs,
ing the wrath of a sleeping lion that al
an illfated moment will turn upon and
rend them.
