their deeds, but he was strung up to the

The Problem Solre d.

One Marcus Hanna, not
unknown to Mckinley fame,
brushes aside all this talk
by the: following sc t tt e. r:
"'Thousands of workingn2en
who are employed in t h e
factories of this country do
not. care ar iota about this
question of silver. They
say they don't, and it is ap-
parent that what the indus
t-ol .olaa-aa- of A,.a.-;l>[ Ns5snt
is better times, a dawn of
prosperity and some assua-
ance that they will ere long
receive better wages, or at
least a stipend equal to what
they were getting before
the financial d depress s 81 o II
which followed the demo
cratic victory Of 1922
So we have been barking
up the wrong tree all this
time and we are sorry for
it. Free silver has nothing
to do with it, 1t is the
stipend that we have been
yearning for all this time,
We apologize to- tn e work
men IN the Frisco and the
Memphis shops, to the boys
on top Of the freight cars, to
the farmers who are in debt
to the merchants struggling
to make expenses, to farm
ers with wheat to sell and
no price offered for it. Free
silver will not save them
If some friendly republican
stipend does not come along
then all is lost, Free sill.
YER being a fallacy, bring on
your stipend, Then we'll
stop kicking. Dem,

Tell Us not in mourntul
numbers, life is but an idle
dream; for we see that
wealth controls us and we
are not what we seem,
Rights, that once our stat
utes gave us, now no longer
can we claim; for the shy
lock buys conventions and the
candidate seeks to name
What are we that we should
grumole, Ger the platform
that he writes; It's the task
of common people to believe
what he indites. Crlnge, ye
slaves, for Wall street shy
locks have the 6. o. p. III

must stand, All, but listen

+ae+ arainst Snch claims,
Down with tyrant gold,
they're shouting, 'out upon
those blatant knaves; we are
freemeu, and by thunder,
none can sell us out as slaves.
We're for silver and for free
dom and our clans are brave
and true; We can beat that
Bill Mckinley and his Wall
street masters too, Silver.
Silver! shouts the chorus,
from the hill-tops far away,
while the millions in the val
leys sing its praises every
day. Silver will increase
our wages, it will give us
work each day; for twill
thwart the mighty shylock
and will take his power a.
way. Raising prices for our
products, business for our
idle men; all will come to
bless the nation, when silvers

peal of Tuesday deyotes al

this assertion, and among
other things calls attention
to the fact that 1.-The most

ANDRAE is ACQUITTED.
WAS H0N0RABLY DISCHARGED OF
THEFT, BY THE JUDGE.
he Was Warmly Congratulated by The
Jury and His Present Employer.
Will Remain in Atlanta,

From the Atlanta Journal
o. w. Andrae, who about month
ago was arrested upon q warrant
sworn out by Mr.. A. l.. Delkin up
on the charge that he had taken
two pictures engraved on gold from
his jewelry store, was honorably
discharged after trial in the super
Tor court.
Solicitor Hill and Judge Cand.
Ter, who have been making 1t very
warm for criminals by vigorous
trials and prompt convictions,
showed the other side of their
character today and both agreed,
after hearing all the evidence Of
the prosecution, that no case had
been made against the prisoner,
and 1t was announced in open
court:that Mr.. Andrae was fully
discharged from the imputations
against him, and the jury, on the
order Of the judge, wrote a verdict
Of mot guilty"
A unique scene followed the ver-
dict. Every juror and the specta-
tors crowded around and shook
hands with Mr.. Andrae and con-
graduated him upon his trium-
plant acquittal. Among these
were Mr.. J. G. Freeman, at whose
store Mr.. Andrae now works,
Harry Sharp, Richard A. Harris
and other gentlemen, who had ties.
titled to his good character. Mr..
Andrae was represented by Mr..
Burton Smith and Mr.. Shepard
Bryan. The manner in which Mr..
Smith handled the witnesses was
largely responsible for the quick
OF the case.
Mr.. Andrae was formerly of San
but has been living in
Atlanta about one year. He is an
artist engraver. His work, which
figured largely in this case, Is re-
producing upon a gold surface ex-
act portraitures of faces. He SIM
ply places photograph before him,
and with his engraving tools
makes an exact likeness or copy OF
a photograph upon the inside sur
face OF q watch case. His work Is
marvellous by experts.
He has made many friends in At.
lanta, who will rejoice at the fact
OF his victorious acquittal.
He declined to say anything
about his further actions except
that he would remain in Atlanta
and pursue his business, and that
his conduct would be guarded by
the advice Of his attorneys.
