In glancing over the array of vice pres idents Alabama has contributed to the Perry Belmont republican organization that held forth in Madison Square gar den Tuesday night night the con clusion is irresistible that those gentlemen will prove as powerless to deliver this state over to Mckinley as MT. Clevelands cabinet member proved in the effort to tie the Alabama democracy to the coat tail of the stuffed prophet.

The effrontery of the ex-democrats who are seeking to elect Mckinley in naming themselves rational democrats is characteristic of the goIdbug crowd. They know they are advocating doc- trines never promulgated by the demo. cratic party nor any other political or ganiZation in this country except the republican party. They further know that the chief purpose of their existence ia to defeat the democratic candidates for president and vice president and for congress in the November election, and to contribute to republican success. If they were honest with themselves they would adopt as their appropriate party name National Republican Aid society,"
 
 At Kenton. O., few days ago the mas ter mechanics in charge of the shops of the Toledo and Ohio Central Railway company were directed to have the fore men of the various departments of the road take a poll of the employees on the money question, It developed that more than 90 per cent of them were for Bryan and free coinage. On the afternoon of the day the report was made an order was posted in the shops cutting down the working hours from forty-eight to forty per week. thereby reducing the wages of the shopmen about 15 per cant Of course they understood the purpose of the reduction was to teach them an ''object lesson" and not only the railroad employees but the entire community were justly indignant. The action of the rail road company has proven to be gen. u.ne boomerang. 50 far as making con- verts to the gold standard is concerned, and has given che cause of free silver in that section a great impetus.

If it be true, as contended by republic an organs, the public debt has increased $527 000, 900 under Cleveland's administra- tion, another good reason is presented for defeating Mckinley. The republican platform pledges Mckinley and his party to a continuance of the same financial policy that Cleveland has forced upon the country in defiance of the democratic party and which has been the cause of the increase of the public debt Only those who favor a constant increase of our national debt and the issuance of more government bonds can conscien- tiously vote the republican ticket in Mo- Vember.

Prosperous Farmers.

YdHIfton Press and DdkotjdH: In Yankton
County, South Dakota, there are at least
one thousand farmers who came here poor
as the proverbial turkey of job, and whoto-
day count their worldly possessions by
thousands. Many of them started in with
a house built of sod, and almost empty
handed so far as horses and cattle go. To
day they occupy fine dwelling houses, have
large barns, fine horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep, granaries filled with grain, fruit
orchards, and money in hand. We mention
this to show that South Dakota farmers are
the prosperous class. Prosperity is the
rule-not the exception. With fair prices
for grain aud live Stock they would be roll
ing in wealth Prices, however, have moth
ing to do with the fertility of the soil and
the favorable character of the climate.
These natural advan tages are here to stay
and assure prosperity to the farming classes

story of Suffering Told by
a LOuisianian.

1t is wonderful what a human being
will endure. Just look around and see
the people day after day toying with
life and death, the most precious
things we have, as if they were the
commonest of all earth's good things.
Nature will not be imposed upon.
She is bound to. get even-to square
accounts. So man starts a habit, but
nature continues it, and, for punish
ment, he can't quit. Take the case Of
George Rathban. For sixteen years
he had to fill his system with poison
to keep from going insane, and he
would be still in the rack of torture
had not No-To-Bac cured hin-cured
the habit of sixteen years in sixteen
days. Read his letter:
Bonita, La, Aug. IS, 1895.
Gentlemen: 1 have been completely
cured of the tobacco habit by using
No-To-Bac. 1 have used tobacco over
seventeen years. Four pounds a month
is what 1 used for sixteen years of
my life. and 1 believe that No-To-B ac
will cure any one that will take half
a box. 1 took six tablets one day,
three the next, three the next, and one
the next day, and was completely
cured. After that I had to take eight
more tablets to cure me of nervous
ness. Twenty-one tablets. you see,
made final cure, and all in sixteen
days. I can very highly recommend
No-To-Bac to all who are cursed with
the tobacco habit and want to get rid
of it. One box will cure the worst
case ever saw. Very Truly Yours.
GEO. RATHBAN.
Now, dear reader, tobacce-user for a
little or a long time, don't say II can't
be cured" No-To-Bac makes it so
easy to quit, and will do you so much
good for your nerves, blood and man
hood. You don't have to take our
