POLITICAL NOTES.

A canvass of the compositors en-
ployed by the gold bug newspapers
of Chicago resulted as follows: For
Mckinley 2; for Bryan 683.
Philip Armour started to make a
poll of his employees, but he quit aft
er hearing the result from one of his
houses. He had an Australian ballot
booth erected and the vote was per-
fectly fair. The vote resulted: McKin-
ley 1926; Bryan 675.
poll of the employees of the Illinois
Steel company resulted as follows:
Bryan 2,217; Mckinley 297 1t is predicted
that Mckinley will not get 100 votes
from these workmen on Nov. 8.
The Chicago newspapers state that
a poll of the Elgin Watch company
showed the following result: McKin-
ley sol; Bryan 8. The poll was taken
by the superintendent and foremen.
An actual vote taken with great care
by fellow workmen in whom the men
had confidence gave the following re-
suit: Bryan 1856; Mckinley 244; I'M
decided 70.
There is not a labor paper in the
United States supporting Mckinley.
So far as can be learned there is
but one agricultural paper In the Unit
ed States supporting Mckinley, and
that journal was recently purchased
outright by the Mark Hanna corruption
fund.
The farmers of Iowa and Nebraska
will not allow gold standard sportsmen
to shoot prairie chickens on their
premises.
In bicycle ride of $50 miles through
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois a party of
three Chicago bank employees found
but two farmers who would vote for
Mckinley.
A Chicago millionaire became con-
WINGED that free silver would win and
ended his troubles by jumping into
Lake Michigan.
Mr.. Ickleheimer, of the well-known
and Wall street gold broker firm of
Heidelbach, Ickleheimer & Company
is heartily in favor of Mckinley
and the permanent gold standard. So
is j. Peripont Morgan. So Is Pres
ident Cleveland. Also Herr Most our
leading anarchist. Among others who
are working hard for the gold standard
may be mentioned H. c. Frick Of Home
stead Mark Hanna of Cleveland, H.
c. Paine of Milwaukee, three gentle
men who have done much to reduce the
wages of workingmen to a reasonable
basis: George M. Pullman Is also In
line for gold. Any American workman
should be proud to stand shoulder to
shoulder with these distinguished
friends of labor.

Morning Jacket.

A matinee, or, rather, several matt
ness, is the first purchase a French
woman makes when she orders her
trousseau. Plain colored india silks in
the very pale colors, made with long
Jacket and skirt and trimmed with
yards and yards of lace, are always in
fashion and exceedingly pretty. The
skirts for the matinees are made mar
rover than the regular skirts, but they
are always trimmed with f1ounces edged
with lace, which f1ounces are put OH
half way up the skirt, reaching to just
below where the jacket ends. The jacket
is made to fit quite loosely in front-in
the back it must be tighter--and is
trimmed with jabots Of lace down the
front and ruffie edged with lace around
the bottom. The sleeves are Of medium
size and finished at the wrist with ruff
fles of lace.
Such quantity Of lace as is needed
to trim matinee seems somewhat over
whelming when expense has to be con-
sidered, but there are great many
pretty, effective and quite fine laces to
be bought now from IS to 20 cents
yard. Silk Innings make a matinee o
most luxurious garment. But again, If
economy must rule, there are fine per-
caline Innings which will answer every
purpose. - Exchange.

The Goldbug Press Is Disposed to Assume
That He Is.

That He Is.
Under the caption "Bunkoing the
Farmer" the Chicago Times Herald
recently printed the following remark
able editorial:
Wheat will bring you twice what it
brings now, says the free silver bun
koer to the farmer
But the purchasing power of our
dollar will be half what it is now an

This is the gist of the goldbug argu-
ment. DO the farmers believe that dol
lar wheat is going to injure them?
VIII dollar wheat assist in paying
mortgages and long-standing debts?
For generation the Republican ora
tors have been talking protection" to
the farmers. They have alleged that
protection raises the prices of manu-
featured goods, increases the wages Of
city workmen, and consequently in
creases the demand and raises the
price of farm products They admit that
protection does not directly benefit the
farmer; that there is no protective tar
If on his wheat, corn, oats and other
products, but say the farmer gets an
indirect benefit due to the increased
price Of manufactured goods and in
creased wages"
What has the farmer done with the
money derived from this indirect BEN
efit?" His farm is mortgaged. 1t hard
ly pays him to harvest the magnificent
crops of wheat and corn that a bounti-
full nature has granted him.
Now, the goldbug papers admit that
the free coinage of silver will double
the selling price of his products, and
solemnly warn him against such a dis
aster.
1t might be pertinent to ask If there
is any reason why dollar wheat would
not double the purchasing power Of the
farmer and therefore stimulate manu-
facture and increase wages In the
cities.
The November election will settle one
important question, and that is this:

A Lesson In GOOD Politics"

ITO the Editor of The Herald:
IAN article appeared in yesterdays
Paris Herald requesting that a sub
scription be opened by The Herald in
Paris for funds to assist the political
campaign now going on in the United
States against the Silver party.
while agreeing in sentiment with
the gentleman who has so literally put
his name down for 500, 1 do not think
it would be good politics for Amer
cans residing abroad to give such pub
licity to their feelings. 1t would only
serve as campaign document which
the Bryan element would avail them
selves of to show how a certain class
of Americans prefer to spend their
money abroad instead of at home.
Those who feel so disposed can cas-
lily send their checks to the Repubh-
can national committee, and their
money will be put where 1t will do the
most good. J. A. H.
