Wouldn't Go.

Soon after the outbreak of the Cuban
insurrection a newspaper determined to
send special correspondent to the seat
of war. The journal in question had
been getting some smart reports from
it's regular correspondent at point in
Florida, and the special correspondent
was ordered to stop at this spot and
take the Florida reporter to Cuba with
him. In Il day or two the telegraph
editor received the following message
from the special:
Our correspondent here seems very
much disinclined to go to Cuba with
me-"
The editor was determined not to
have his plans baked, and sent this:
Our Florida correspondent must
obey orders and go to Cuba with you.
Offer any reasonable inducements.
Not long afterwards the following re-
ply was received:
"Our correspondent here refuses
point blank to go to Cuba with me eX-
cept on one condition, and that is that
l marry her. l have one wife already.
Answer quick"

Reeves, asserted that they were the

"Put the Vermonters in Front"

If the state convention of Vermont Re-
publicans had occurred at any other time
than when the Republican national conven-
ton was in session, says the Philadelphia
Press, its platform would have attracted
attention for the terseness with which it
states the issues of the day. In one plank
it sums up nearly all the main questions be-
fore the people. 1t says: sour watchword
shall be an honest dollar, good the world
over, protection to American labor and III
dustries, and revenue sufficient to maintain
the government without further increasing
its debt" This is the platform on which
the Republicans hope to win their first VIC
tory after the nomination of presidential
ticket. When decisive battle in the war
for the Union was about to begin, the or
der from the commanding general was
"Put the Vermonters in front and keep
the column closed up" The Vermonters
will be in front again in the presidential
battle Of this year and other states will
keep the column closed up.

not increased in price in proportion to pro-
visions, but this is because the people are
700 poor to buy the goods that they were
IN the habit OF wearing before, and the
merchants have placed upon the market
the poorest quality of goods, made in Eu-
rope, for the market. The reason that the
merchants give for not buying more goods
IN the United States is that these goods are
100 good and the people cannot afford to
buy them.
1T seems to me that if the workingmen
OF the United States will study this object
lesson they will readily see that what they
want is an honest dollar that will buy as
much IN the markets abroad as the dollar
OF any other nation.
Ii silver is coined in the United States at
the rate OF 16 to l, while the gold in a
gold dollar is worth 100 cents in any coun-
try In the world, and the silver in a silver
uollar is only worth so cents, is it not plain
1hat the experience of Colombia, and in
iact all South American countries, where
1t It has been tried, will be the experience of
the United States?
The gold will all leave the country, and
1t will require So of silver to buy 81 worth
oi goodS IN the markets of the world,
where gold is the standard.
The next question is, will the wages of
labor be increased in proportion to the in
crease of the cost of living? The price of
labor will always be governed by the law
OF supply and demand, while the cost of
living will be governed by the value of the
dollar that the laborer receives for his
toll
Silver legislation in every country where
an effort has been made to make silver
dollar equal to gold dollar has resulted
IN poverty to the man who labors, and the
attempt in the United States can but give
the same results
Three years in this country have given
me some practical knowledge of the effect
of silver andpaper currency. and send
you the above facts, as they are we'll known
to the people here.

Trouble In the Silver Party.

The Chicago candidates are already IN
trouble with the out and out Populists IN
the west on account of the fact that Mr..
Sewall is president of national bank, a
director of various corporations and that
he generally stands for the class OF things
which the platform opposes.
1t has been discovered that Mr.. Bryan is
the attorney of the Missouri Pacific N,
braska, and Gould lawyer has been con-
sidered a little more Objectionable than
any other lawyer.
Gov. Altgeld has lost some of his at
tractive qualities in the silver camp by the
report that tenants in his building at Chi
cago have been required to sign leaseto
pay their rent in gold.
The candidates do not seem to fit the
platform or else the platform does not
mean what it says.
