Maceo Attacks weyler's Trocha and
Shoots Spaniards.
KEY WEST, Fla. Oct 3.-Advices re-
ceived from Havana state that An.
tonic Maceo, in a recent attack on the
trocha, inflicted terrible losses on the
Spaniards, more than 1,oo0 being
killed and wounded. The attack was
made at night and was carefully
planned. The Spaniards were taken
completely by surprise They were
aroused from sleep to find hail of
insurgent bullets falling upon them.
General Arelas and his staff, half
clad, rushed from their headquarters
and tried to rally the Spanish troops,
who were panic-stricken by the at
tack. 1t was half an hour before even
a semblance of order could be re-
stored to the Spanish column, and
during that time the troops remained
huddled together, an easy mark for
the Cubans' bullets. 1t was during
this period of the panic that so many
of the Spanish troops were killed.

FORAKER AND THE FARMERS,

The farmer has learned sometime
too Times have been pretty hard on
him. He is selling his products at the
cheapest price ever known since be-
fore the war. He has found out that
to have good demand, and to get good
prices for his product, he must have a
good home market. Senator Elect
Foraker's speech.
Yes, Senator, 1.-The farmer has learned
something" 1t has taken him a great
many years, but he is getting his ewes
open at last. The one great thing that
he has learned is that it is for his best
interest to vote against Mckinley and
TIE gold standard
1t is true that he is selling his pro-
duce at the lowest price ever known"
tits also true that the republican party
is trying to make him believe that low
prices is an Indication of prosperity
Don't deny this, for all the pold-bpo
papers and speakers in the country are
abusing Populists because the latter
are demanding good times and better
prices. You and your Republican CO.
workers are telling workingmen that
free silver" means more money. and
more money means higher prices fer
farm products and that higher prices
for farm products means a hard time
for workingmen.
1ou are teaching woriingmen that;t
is against their interests to have ..h;ob-
er prices for farm products. and vet
You are pretending to sympathize with
farmers because their products are
selling lower than ever
Which horn of the dilemma do Won
propose to accept.
In which case are you TELLING the
truth?
Do you really want better prices for
farm products for the farmer?
Or. do you want lower prices for

In 1776 England sought to dominate

Labor Crucifjed,

If the single gold standard can be
forced upon South America and Asia
as it has been since 1873 forced upon
North America and Europe, gold must
inevitably appreciate to at least four
times it's present absurd value, or, TO
put it other wise, commodities must de-
cline to one-fourth of the present price
and labor all the world over be cruel
fed as it was never crucifed before in
days of mediaevil serfdom or even chat
tel slavery. Such is the contest IT
the money lords can force gold mono
.metallism upon the whole world, they
will succeed in establishing the most
gigantic moneyed aristocracy among
the rich and the worst system of poem

has ever cursed the hapless sons of men.

A PLAIN ANSWER TO A PLAIN
QUESTION:.

The New York World has been invit-
ing letters from the people on the
money question and has received some
''hot" replies. Finally the World pub
lished this inquiry:
Some of the labor organizations in
this city have declared in favor of un.
limited and independent free silver
coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1.
.Worlkingmen who hold this view are
invited to answer this plain ques-
ton:
Granting that the free coinage of So
cent dollars would help the farmer by
raising the price of his wheat, corn,
hay, pork, beef, chickens, eggs, butter,
potatoes, ETC., how would it help the
workingmau-the laborer. mechanic or
artisan who depends solely upon his
wages-to have the cost of his living
increased?
Among many vigorous and forcible
replies which the World received the
following from New Hampshire man
gives an answer which is entirely con.
elusive and fully as "plain" as the
| question:
To the Editor of the World: The
market for the manufactured goods of
New England and the east is in the
west and south. If the gold advocates
admit that the free coinage of silver
| will enable the western farmer and
the southern cotton-planter to get a
better price for their products land
there is no doubt that it wilD, the
| worl1ingmen in the eastern factories
must be correspondingly benefited.
| The trouble now is that the western
farmer cannot even pay his taxes and
the interest on his mortgage, to say
nothing of buying our goods.
/ will admit that the men who are
now employed in the eastern factories
would be the last to receive the benefit
of advancing prizes, but that would be
due to the fact that labor is always
the last to receive its due If the
| farmers of the west and south are
prosperous the mills of the east will
be run to their full capacity to supply
their wants, thus giving employment
| to thousands who are now altogether
idle and thousands more who are work.
| ing on short time. The benefit would
be almost Immediately. 1t is claimed
by the gold men that wages are higher
now than ever before. Perhaps this is
true of those who are fortunate
enough to have work all the time, but
when the number who have no work
and those who are but partially en-
ployed are considered it is plain that
labor is in worse condition now than
ever it was when there was free coin
