TAYING TO FOOL THE RAILROAD MEN.

The Topeka Capital of the nth contains the
following letter from railroad official, which
intended to deceive the laboring men:
81 do not think it possible, in case our couu-
try goes to silver basis, for tho railway lines
in the country to maintain the wages of their
employees on the present basis
"To very large extent, the obligations of
railway companies, aside from their capital
gold. 1t will be wholly impossible for the rail-
way companies to increase their freight and
passenger rates. and such being the case, if We
are on silver basis, and gold goes to premi-
um, which it undoubtedly will, the fixed charges
of most of the railways in the country will be
very largely increased, as the revenues which
they receive will be payable in silver, and they
will have to take silver money and buy gold
with which to pay their interest. The result
of this must inevitably be either to force many
of the roads into bankruptcy, or to reduce the
wages of their employees very materially. I'm
doubtedly many of them will be bankrupted,
and all will endeavor to reduce their expenses
by lowering the wages of their employees.
Gin addition to this, as l see it, the pay of
the railway employees will be in silver money,
or its equivalent, and the purchasing power
will be very greatly decreased, as everything
that the employees will buy must cost them
great deal more than now.
GAS see it, no class of men in this country
will be so seriously affected by the free and UNI
limited coinage of silver as the railway em-
ployes."
Wonder how much gold the railroads are
now receiving for freight aud passengers?
Does any one suppose for moment that they
receive enough of the yellow metal to pay their
interest? Does any QUE suppose they are now
paying their employees in gold3 The writer Of
the above letter knew full we'll that there
is no truth in his statements or inferences His
only object was to mislead the people.
If the railroads can't stand it to have silver
on an equality with gold, Uncle Sam will take
the roads off their hands, at fair price, and
run them himself, and the employees will not
lose single dollar. In fact, they will get bet
ter wages than they now receive.

Jerry Simpson was again called for, and he
made another speech-a short one-full of fun
and logic-after which the meeting adjourned.
Senator Leedy, our candidate for governor,
promised, conditionaly, to be with us, but he
telegraphed from Topeka that the state central
committee was still in session, and he could
not come. Rev. ]. D. Botkiu was in town
short time, and intended to speak, but he re-
ceived dispatch calling him home, so he was
unable to stay.
A more enthusiastic political meeting was
never held in Garrett. The people were not
here out of idle curiosity; they came to hear
the truth-and they heard it.
The Bryan headquarters kept "open house"
all day, and the books were open for the regis
tration of the advocates of silver. Over a
thousand persons registered.
Certainly, it was day we'll spent.

GRANNY MORRILL, GOT THERE.

The Republicans held their state convention
at Topeka this week, and nominated Governor
Morrill, by reclamation Jim Troutman, the
'prohibition" candidate for lieutenant govern
or, was given the marble heart, and Justice
Martin, the only man in the whole redeemer
crowd who has ever tried to do anything for
the people, was ANONYMOUSLY defeated for T..
F. Carver, notorious corporation attorney.
The balance of the old gang were renominated.
A resolution favorable to the enforcement of
all laws was downed with whoop!

WEBB McNALL HAD A HEAP ~ FUN.

Tuesdays Topeka State Journal says Webb
McNall, the silver Republican from the Sixth
congressional district, was at the Republican
state convention, armed with set of resolu-
tons out of which he had lots of fun. When
a crowd of gold-bug, circus-performing Repub-
licans gathered around him, he would pull his
resolutions on them and read, as follows:
"WHEREAs, For the last sixteen years, the
Republican platform of county, congressional,
district and state have declared in favor of sill
yer and gold as standard money; and whereas,
the said platforms and the senate of the state,
when Republican, have declared in favor Of
the free coinage of silver; and whereas, the
Republican United States senators of Kansas
have introduced and urged the passage of free
silver bills, and, for so doing, have been in
dorsed by the Republican press and the Repub-
lican voters of the state; and whereas, the free
coinage of silver has been promised by thou
sand sacred pledges, made in thousandsdfof
school houses, by thousands of Republican
speakers; therefore, be it ~
"Resolved, That we, the delegates of the Re-
publican party, in state convention assembled,
believing that it will be in line with the sancti-
ty of pledges made, recommend that the Re-
publican voters cast their ballots for the electors
of BRYAN and Sewall, thereby repudiating
Grover Cleveland Republicanism.
McNall said: ~ believe with ingalls, that,
inasmuch as the convention has the acrobatic
faculty of jumping from one platform to an
other, hope to see them jump over onto this
one.n Of course the resolutions didn't pass.

BUT NO TEARS WERE SHED-ENTHUSIASM RIA
HIGH-GOoD HUMoR PREVAILED.

The Republicans have been proclaiming from
the housetops, so loudly and SO long, that the
"silver craze is dead" that the friends of the
white metal concluded it was about time for
the funeral, so Wednesday, August 18th, was
selected for the occasion, and Jerry Simpson
and Ed c. Little were selected to conduct the
services.
Everything was in fine shape for the occasion.
Tuesday, the day preceding, it was dry and
dusty, and arrangements were made with the
city dads to turn the water works onto the park
and the adjacent streets. This was rendered
unnecessary, however, by heavy rain which
fell during the night, laying the dust and cool
ing the atmosphere, making Wednesday most
delightful day.
The sun had scarcely arisen from his bed in
the east when teams were seen vending their
way across the country, from every direction,
toward Garrett; and they continued coming
until noon. The various trains also brought
large numbers of people. The crowd was esti-
mated by various men, the estimates ranging
from 2, 500 to 5000 people.
About 10 o'clock, the meeting was called to
order. Rev. Hassard, pastor OF the First Bap-
fist church of Garrett, was the first speaker.
His speech was short, but it bristled with good
points, and showed that his sympathies are
with the common people Rev. Hassard was
followed by VIM, Dingus, Populist nominee for
representative from Linn county He is an
able young man with bright future. This,
with some excellent music, constituted the ex-
ercises of the forenoon. By the way, we had
four bands and quartette to furnish music.
When the afternoon trains arrived, Jerry
Simpson, Ed Little and M. S. Peters, candidate
for congress- from the Second district, came
Mr.. Peters was first introduced by Chairman
Bowman. He is not an orator, makes no pre-
teutions as public speaker, but he is business
man who comes in constant contact with the
producers and he knows the needs of the peo-
ple. He knows how to impart his knowledge
to his hearers, and he impresses them with his
sincerity. His synpathies are with the masses
Ierry Simpson was next introduced, and he
easily held the attention OF the vast audience
for about three hours. This was Jerry's first
visit to Garrett, and but few of our people had
ever seen him. He made one of his character
istic speeches-full of wit and trite sayings
He is not abusive, but drives home the truths
in such way that the Republicans take their
medicine without grimace. Jerry is immense.
Ed Little followed Jerry, but he only spoke
a few moments, preparatory for the evening
meeting. At night, he spoke at length. AS
he but recently came from the Republican party,
h;s remarks were addressed more particularly to
Renublicans-and he gave them some mighty
,,,rd rrts to crack. Mr. Little is one of the
brightest young men in the state, and his de-
narture from the Republican ranks is serious
loss to the Republican party. He will win
thousands of votes for Bryan.

MCKINLEY AS A FINANCIER.

A man whose education was paid for by his
sister, whose home was donated by is father
in-law, and whose debts were settled by
wealthy friend, certainly would not be consid-
cred, by any one, a distinguished financial sue
cess. Yet, tens of thousands of American cit
liens will carry torchlights and transparencies
through the rain and mud, and yell themselves
hoarse, in an attempt to put just such man at
the head of the business affairs of this vast
nation.-Facts.
Yet, we hear Republicans, speaking of W..
]. Bryan, say, "Humph he's only boy; amt
got nothin' an don't know nothin'."

IT has been stated by Republicans in this
city that there are combinations of capital
lists. Chauncy Depew says FIFTY men OF
these United States have it in their power, by
reason of the wealth which they control, to
come together within the next twenty flour
hours and arrive at an understanding by which
every wheel o. commerce may be stopped from
revolving, every avenue of trade blocked and
every electric key struck dumb. These fifty
men can paralyze the whole country, for they
control the circulation of the currency, and can
create panic whenever they will"

"You come to us and tell us that the great
cities are in favor of gold standard. l tell
you that these great cities rest upon the broad

leave our farms and your cities will spring up

and grass will grow in the streets of every city
in the country. My friends, we will declare
that this country is able to legslate for its own
people upon every question withon: waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation on earth.
