The Pops Pow-wow.

The scenes enacted at St.
Louis last week by the Populists
OF the country Were to some ex.
tent a source of amusement, and
are also of considerable import
ance to the public. The dele.
gates in attendance represented
the discontinued from all quar-.
tiers, from Mrs. Mary Ellen
Lease, Jerry Simpson. and [gnis-
fatuus Donnelly, toSenator PETER
and Cyclone" Davis, from the
wild and wlntry plains of Texas.
With waving beard and wild ges-
ticrlations. with the clash of
combat in a war of words, with
passion and prejudice stamping
every action, their "delibera.
tons proceeded. The ultimate
outcome OF 1t all was that when
the Bryan forces triumphed, and
ne was tendereed the nomina.
ton. that worthy felt called upon
to decline, not being willing to
stand upon the Populist plat
form. The party, however went
ahead and nominated Thomas E.
Watson. of Georgia. for Vice
President, and then insisted on
Bryan accepting the Presidential
nomination at their hands. This
he refuses to do, If they will not
at the same time endorse sewall.
The situation is. to say the least,
an awkward one, and the out.
come remains We. to be seen.

assert, what defense can they make OF
the state OF things described by Mr..
George?
Is a monetary scheme of such vital
value that it will pay the United States
to uphold it at the cost of degrading
the citizenship OF the Republic?
II one seriously believes that free
silver coinage will debase the currency
he is right to give his voice and vote
against it. 4 debased currency is q
thing to be afraid of, surely; but there
is another thing infinitely worse for
this nation than a really debased cur
rency would be, and that is a debased
manhood.
A cause committed to the hands OF
a Hanna and depending on an organ
lied, CONFERENCE.-THE system of bull
doing and bribery to carry an cleo
ton, is cause in whose inherent
merits its advocates can have little
faith. Any cause, no matter what it
may be, that represents q wholesale
attempt upon the freedom and integ-
rity of the voters deserves TO be
smashed at the ballot-box. 1t must
be smashed, too, if the men of this
country, and not its constituencies
money, are to control the destinies oil
the United States.

make good complexion if the digestion is
wrong. If the stomach is sour and the
liver torpid and the bowels constipated.
the skin will show it. No use trying to
treat the skin for such a condition. The
only way to relieve il is to cleanse the sys-
TEN and purify the blood AS long as the
heart is pumping impurities to every part
of the body, just SO long these impurities
will show through the skin.
DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery
is good for the complexion because It
makes the whole body hea.thy-because it
clears and purihes the blood, makes the
digestion strong and clears out impurities
of all kinds. By increasing the ability to
assirilate nutritious food, and by the in
fusion of its own ingredients, it enriches
the blood and so makes solid, healthy flesh
1t fills out the hollows, rubs out wrink-
les and substitutes for sallowness a rosy,
healthy glow. There is no mystery about
it. 1t isn't miracle. 1t is merely the re-
suit of a combination of rational, natural
common sense with expert medical knowl-
edge. 1t cures diseases of the lungs, liver,
stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply
because all these diseases spring from the
same cause - disordered digestion and
consequent impure blood. Don't let preju-
dice and scepticism cheat you out Of your
health. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
eovery will positively cure you, if suffering
from diseases named above.

medical truths, send 81 one-cent stamps to

WAR ON MANHOOD.
s. H. Examiner.

b. +. Examiner.
Henry George, an impartial observer,
commissioned by the Examiner to 60
where the fighting is hottest and tell
the truth to the public. confirms in
his dispatches from Chicago the re-
ports that widespread intimidation is
being practiced in the interest of Nc
Kinley's candidacy. Republican en-
ployers are taking every means to let
their employees understand that vote
against the gold standard will be fol-
lowed by unpleasant personal conse-
quences to the voter.
Railroad workmen invited to board
special trains for labor demonstra-
tons" at Canton are afraid to refuse
to 60. Mr.. George, under date of the
10th inst, adds: "The Bryan speak
ers and clubs are telling men to take
Mckinley buttons and wear them con-
spicuously, to join Mckinley excur-
sions and gold clubs, to talk for Nc
Klnley and against Bryan whenever
they feel that their places depend
upon it-but always to remember
when they get to the voting-booth and
the door is closed, and the voting pa
per is before them to be marked, that
then, if not before, they are free
men,"
Even If the maintenance OF the gold
standard, instead of being a swindle of
the many for the benefit of the few,
were as important to the business in
terests of the country as its advocates

The New Hook spoon Free TO All.

| read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A. Nj. Fritz, Station A, st. Louis,
Mo-, would give an elegant plated hook
spoon to anyone sending her ten 2-cent
stamps. l sent for one and found it so
useful that | showed it to my friends,
and made $500 in two hours, taking
orders for the spoon. The hook spoon
is household necessity. 1t cannot slip
into the dish or cooking vessel, being
held in the place by a hook on the back.
The spoon is something that house
keepers have needed ever since spoons
were first invented. Anyone can get a
sample spoon by sending ten 2-cent
stamps to Miss Fritz. This Is splendid
way to make money around home.
Very truly, JEANETTE S.

THE FARM THE GROUNDWORK
Rocky Mountain News.

Inc WOrklngman wants to buy his
breadstuffs, meat, poultry, eggs, veg
etables and the like at the very lowest
price he can get. His wages are fixed
The only question with him is how
much his wages will buy.-N. y. World.
In country where farming claims
nearly 100000 of the 100000 re-
turned as employed-ride the census
of 1S90-no department of labor, crude,
skilled or professional, can proclaim
independence of the farmers condition,
The farm, and the products of the
farm, are the very foundation of our
industrial structure, and when the
farmer cannot get for his wheat, corn,
potatoes, meat, eggs and poultry prices
that more than return him the cost of
production, he had no money left to
pay the interest on his mortgage, to
pay taxes at the county seat, to sup
port churches and newspapers, to send
his children to school, to buy new ma
chinery for the farm, to pay fares on
the railroad, to visit the town, or to
settle his balance at the crossroads
store. Multiply the condition of this
farmer-who is SO per cent. of all
labor employed in the country, in
GLIDING miners, lawyers. doctors and
clerks-and then calculate if you can
where the wages will come for 81 per
cent. If the crossroads grocer fails
to collect his accounts from the farmer
he must put off the town agent with
a very small order or no order at all.
The town agent who represents a Sec
ton of country, cuts his order on the
New York or Chicago house, and the
latter when their sales are diminishing,
reduce the salaries of clerks and drop
the number employed to the lowest
limit. They inform the manufacturer
that a reduction must be made in the
order for next season. This is curtail-
ment OF the trade, which necessarily
involves curtailment of wages, even
where unions insist upon payment of
the scale, for reduction of hours
q common practice among employ
ers-is, after all, reduction in wages.
From this cursory at a very wide
subject-the inter-dependence of the
industrial masses upon each other
the New York World must see-if it
wishes to ses-that the interest of the
workingman is not directly opposed
to that of the farmer. To the con-
trary, the wOrkingman has never pros
pered in this country when the farmer
failed to do so. Hard times on the
farm are speedily followed by hard
times in the town and city, by dis
tress for everyone save the limited
number OF sharks and usurers who
fatten on the losses of their fellow
men, and who secure the agile pens
of thoughtless or INSCRIPTIONS writer's
to assure the losses are good for them.
