CHAPTER XII.

Hulda had expected surely to receive
some communication from Olaf Brun,
but weeks passed and months without Il
single letter. OF course she could not
believe after his urgent protestations Of
love for her that he included her in the
resentment which he must naturally
feel toward her mother She had no
doubt that he had written, but that the
vigilant eyes which now guarded her
had recognized the handwriting, and
that the benevolent despotism which
had interceded so ruthlessly in her fate
had prevented his letters from reaching
her Knowing the name Of his uncle,
the minister Of state, she addressed two
letters to him in the latter's care, but
received no replies. She poured forth
her soul as a flower exhales its perfume,
with all the sweet eloquence Of loving
heart Never for a moment did it occur
10 her TO doubt his truth. She knew
the hostile powers which beset him as
well as her, and she fancied him con-
sumed by the same tender yeanings,
hopes and desires that agitated her.
Fortified by her beautiful ineXperience,
she built a castle Of illusions and dwelt
in it patiently hopefully, nay, almost
happily. Her indomitable faith in him
was in itself a source Of felicity, for II
would have lent sweetness to martyr
dom itself. She woke up every morning
amid the familiar cackling Of hens, low

committee have been held.
He says: "The procession will be

be a military escort, which with the
uniformed firemen. some 1900 in all.

division in the line. Then there will be
a number Of carriages containing in
vited guests, and the uniformed organ

the Kennebec valley will be in the pro-
cession.
by no means the least important
feature will be the traders floats,
showing the wares. and various mer-

displays Of the industries. Some will
have their men at work at the manu-
featuring. to show how the articles are
made.
''Of course. in addition to all this will
be the fantasies.

Senator stewards sound Arguments.

The question never will be settled
until you determine the simple ques-
tion whether the laboring man is en-
titled to a gold dollar if he earns it, or
whether you are going to cheat him
with something else. That is the upshot
Of the whole thing. There have
been great many battles fought against
gold, and gold has won every time.
do not care how much you discuss it or
how many resolutions you pass, they do
not make any difference. You must
come to the same conclusion that all
other people have-that gold is reoog-
nized as the universal standard Of value.
1t is the measure that must be used 1t
is the measure by which your wealth
must be tested. It has been and always
will be the touchstone Of measurement,
and when you depart from that and try
to figure up any other measure which
the world does not recognize you get
into confusion. Attempting to reconcile
them. it is idle to talk about. 1t is idle
to talk about compromising on any other
measure of value. The world will not
accept it. We have the experience of
every nation that has tried it, and it
has been tried in almost every civilized
nation. = . Do not let us try to de-
ceive the American people. Do not let
us try to make them believe by some
hocus pocus of legislation that we can
give them something Of real value-we
can give them a measure Of value that
is better than the universal standard of
mankind. Do not deceive them in that
regard. Let them know the facts now.

aspects and they no longer propose

convenience or policy of those who
only desire to reap the benefits of

feeling which lends encouragement
to the view that the people will take
the matter in their hands, and have
an emphatic say. Mr.. Bryan is ap-
pealing to the masses for support.
He is telling them, they are the true
rulers and must have their way and
he is right so far as asking the peo-
pie to think out carefully for them
selves the problems presented. In
this district we have many and di
verse interests. Our representative
should be man who by experience,
education and ability can fully
grasp and readily and forcibly advo-
cate them in our national councils

recognized as such a man and i6 is

In every rural town of the country
free coinage advocates are promising
farmers that 16 to / would raise the
price Of grain and meat and thus re-
duce the proportions of the produce of
the farm that goes to pay the labor en-
ployed. OF all brazen performances Of
the century, the most impudent is that
by which at the same time the wage
earners are invited to assist in cam
paign to make their food more dear to
them and to reduce the wages of the
most numerous class Of wage earners in
the country.
There is the silver question in nut
shell. 1t is simply a question as to
whether our wage earners are getting
too high wages. They may as well face
the question. If our wage earners be-
lieve they are getting too high wages
and that this country is suffering in
consequence, all they have to do is to
take lower wages. If they prefer a
roundabout way, they can favor free
coinage of silver, and they will get their
wages cut down half without any fur
ther trouble on their part.
In the light of our experience with
fiat money legislation, from the green
back to the Sherman pig silver certii-
Gates, this long suffering country will
finally learn that wealth is not created
by fiat, but is made by labor; that the
law can put no dollar into any man s
pocket unless it first takes it from the
pocket of some other man, and that
wage earnors are first and most inter-
ested in opposing interference by law.
There has never yet been made law to
put into any laboring mans pocket a
single dollar that he did not earn. He
of all men, therefore, has the best right
to insist that there shall be no law passed
that will raise the price of what he has
to buy, and thus take from him any
portion of what he has earned. Hon.

Tarmer Browns Dilemma.

We had public meetin in the schoolhouse here
last week,
And feller from the city was invited down 10
speak.
He'd studied up the subject of finance in every
light
And claimed that he was competent to show
US what was right.
He says this whole blamed country Is a-goin
straight 10 smash
Unless we get free coinage and increase our
stock of cash.
He's Hggered out daisy scheme and claims
twill work immense.
He wants to make our dollars cost US only City
cents.
He'd take -four bits" Of silver and would run
it through the mint
And stamp il plain "one dollar" with the gov
ernment's imprint.
The mines would dump their silver, and the
nation, slick as grease,
Would grind out brand new dollars at Just fifty
cents apiece
That sounds all right. but since that night
somehow I've often wondered
When buy dollars for lfty cents who'll take
'em for q hundred.

JUDGE KIRKpATRIcK,s REcEP.

JUDGE KIRKPATRICK'S RECEP-
TION.
Thursday and Friday of last week
were red letter days for the Repub-
licans of this part of Pike, and if the
manner in which they turned out
and expressed their feelings is any
indication if result their can be no
question but that Pike is aroused by
the ''crime of '94" when a Demo-
crat was elected to Congress in this
district by the paltry majority of
1877. and that their sis firm and un-
yielding determination to repeal
that act in '96.
Judge Kirkpatrick accompanied
by Aaron Goldsmith, Esq, of Eas-
ton came up from Monroe last
Thursday, where they had been
holding a series of meeting and max
ing a house to hand canvass, among
the voters. They found everywhere
in their intercourse with the people
a feeling of resentment at the man
ner in which the Democratic party
in the district has been bartered,
bull-dosed, and trodden upon by
those who assume to be its leaders,
and managers. They found that
the people were awakened to the
fact that they had been, while trust
ing to these same leaders, beguiled
and deceived, and used simply as
dummies in the political poker which
was being played for the Congress
sional pot. We use these terms be-
cause they fittingly represent the
manner in which the honest voters
of the district are managed. Their
wishes are not regarded, and their
interests and welfare are not consi-
dered by those gentlemen who are
simply playing for points in the
game of Congressional preferment.
They are urged to stand together
and to bow submissively to the
dictation of their party bosses and are

Every cheap money experiment ever
tried in this or in any country has dem
onstrated that while prices respond
quickly to changes in the value Of
money, wages respond but slowly.
Hence, though wages appear to rise
when money is depreciating, they are in
reality falling. The difference in rapid
ity with which wages and prices go up
has been illustrated by prices going up
In elevators while wages walk up the
stair steps Il is certain that wage earn
ers always lose and never gain by being
paid In a depreciated or depreoiating

ConascatiOn Of Property.

A farmer who had his crop of wheat
stored in his granary or manufacturer
who had his warehouse filed with the
products of his factory would think it
an outrage if the government should in
sist upon confscating one-half of his
wheat or his goods. What better is it
by the adoption of free silver coinage to
confiscate one-half of tie wage of the
laborer or one-half of his accumulated
savings, or one-half of the dover of the
widow. Or one-half of the pension of the
soldierf--Philadelph Record.

forgot to include the plank declaring in
favor Of restoring the natural freezing

shivered tremendously because of this in
