to be more enrapping,
The st. Louis Globe Democrat sums
up the campaign thus far in these strik-
ing words. The people are docking in
whole train loads to see Mckinley, and
Bryan is tiocking in palace car to see
the people.
A Bryan organ, the Cincinnati En-
quirer, is now mourning over ''the ex-
pense of so many people running to
Canton to sec Mckinley" The Bryan
ties should at least take comfort in the
fact that they are not footing any of
the bills.
The most amusing portion Of Mr.
Bryan's tedious epistle contains his
refusal to be considered as a candidate
for another term. 1t is like a lonely
spinster's declaration that she will al
ways positively refuse to be married
the second time.-Troy Times.
e. A. Dawson of WaYerly, Iowa, says
that the Iowa farmers are all right on
the money question and that the state
will notgiY9 less than $4,000 majority
for Mckinley in November. The rail
road men in the Hawkeye State are al
most unit for sound money.
Mr.. Powderly pnt the tariff question
in nutshell when he said in his New
York speech. at sounds beautiful to
say that the world is my country, and
all men are my brothers, but self pres
ervatiOn is the first law of nations as
well as of nature" The nation, like
an individual, must live and pay its
just debts, and there is no honester;
easier method than to tax imports and
protect home labor.
If brother Bryan turns to the book of
Ecclesiastes, fifth chapter and tenth
verse-and the Globe Democrat will,
for this purpose, lend him copy of
the Bible if he will deposit two l6 to /
dollars as security for return of the
same--he will find these words: ale
that loveth silver shall not be satisfied
with silver, nor he that loyeth abun-
dance with increase; this is also van
ity."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Gold Good Enough.-"What's goin'
on ter-night?" asked an old fellow as
he saw the crowd going to witness the
presentation of the drama, "Better than
Gold"
Better than Gold" responded a small
boy briefly, as he hurried along.
"Better'n gold. EN-? Wall, this yer
free silver foolishness makes me plumb
tired" growled the old man dlsgustedly
as he went his way.-Sequachee Times
When "the great crime of 1873" was
enacted, the statistics show the United
States had just STA, 100000 in circulat.
ion. In 1895 this same oppressed and
down-trodden people had 100000
but owing to free trade, tariff for rev.
enue, and free silver excitement, it was
piled away. The plaiL thing to do is to
start that S2,217 100000 on the rounds
1t can be done by opening up the ma,
tion's workshops and giving the millions
work; and in no other way.-Inter,
Ocean.
Bryan of Nebraska and his great
chief Jones, don't believe that such
fellows as Cleveland, Villas, Harmon
Olney, Lamont, Carlisle, Cochran,
Palmer, Buckner, and hundreds OF
others, who have been leaders for
years in theDemocratic party, know any,
thing about finance, OF craftsmanship
or what Democracy is. Just look at
Bryan, Jones, Tilman & Co., and then
glance at the others, and it will suffice
without further argument.
