The silver Syndicate.

The New York Press gives to-day an
other chapter of the great speculation
of the Silver Mine Owners Syndicate.
This free-coinage movement lad its ori-
gin with these silver kings. who wish
to sell their white metal for twice what
it is worth in any market in the world.
1t is financed by men who. already
enormously rich, hope to double their
vast fortunes. 1t is the owners of
silver mines who are supporting the
free-coinage newspapers, distributing
free-coinage literature, paying the sal
aries of free-coinage stump speakers
and backing" free-coinage candidates
Are they doing it for the good of the
country or for tho money there is in it
for themselves? Do men go into specu-
lations that promise 100 per cent profits
out of philanthropy or out of greed for
dollars2 Will the people who have al
lowed themselves to be imposed upon
by these silver kings persist in
scheme to add millions on millions to
the enormous fortunes of few score
men by depriying the plain people OF
nail the value OF their, savings and
their wages?
The only people in this country who
could profit by the free and unlimited
of silver would be the owners
of mines. bankrupts who wish to re-
Dudiate their debts and spectators in |
the returns of the men who toll for I
their bread. If this nation ever should |
sink to the level of silver basis the
would not be able to lift I
us mead Tor generation to come, the I
armer would plunge deeply into debt
because the working classes, who are
he greatest consumers of farm pro-
tets, would have their purchasing
lower cut in half. and this whole coun-
~ would become the victim of the
money sharks of the world.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one way
to cure Deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous sufaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

Notice.

If you are in business you know
it is impossible to do that business
with out money. The same rule
applies to us. If we are to run a
newspaper successfully and you
are one of our readers, you should
see to it that your newspaper is
bettered by little of your money
once II year. If you owe us sub
scripiion come in and pay some of
it at least. We have certainly been
doing right by you. If you can't
pay, come in and say so, and we
will admire you for your honesty.
If you sold us peck of potatoes,
every week and we would not pay
you any money for two years you
would begin to refuse us any more
potatoes, wouldn't you? So it is
with us. We have sold you our pa
per twice a week for two years and
haven't received cent of pay, and
don't you think it is about time we
were wondering how long this
would last. If your paper is mark
ed with Subscription expired" you
are behind two years; you have
never paid the present owners any
thing. Do you think we can do
business this way and keep up?

An Ode n Tho F,or.

Flag of the free for you and me,
Flag of our own native country;
Many brave boys their blood have shed,
Many heroes living and dead,
Have fought bravely for me and you,
Have proved noble, loyal and true.
Honored and famed are found among,
Whose names by many Poets sung,
Soldiers Oft starved or poorly clad
While many homes and hearts were sad;
For che brave boys who wore the blue,
To the flag of the free, proved true.
Whilst some deserted and forsook,
Others the burden undertook,
Stil TO sustain the Flag erect,
Proudly waving whilst they protect,
Firmly resolved to live or die
Meath their loved banner floating high.
Flag of the free cans't thou tell me,
Am / SO blind l cannot see?
Prosperity, where is IL found;
LabOring class In slavery bound;
Though many brave boys blood was shed,
And many purses nova bled.
What matter now I , me or you,
Years ago who wore gray or blue;
Hard times of bloody war we had;
WOrkmen now are sad, cen mad,
Striving hard from morn till night,
Without dinner or scarce bite.
Flag of the free for you and me,
Flag OF our own native country;
When bribery no votes shall gain,
When truth and justice, wrong has slain,
Then shall our eyes opcn and see,
The glorious dawn of liberty.
Your votes the ballot box will test,
Gold or silver from east 10 west;
From north to south in campaign fight,
VIM. j. Bryan and silver right;
We're calling loudly now for you,
Three cheers for the red, white and blue

Silver Party.

From the above caption one
would infer that politics was about
to be discussed, but this is not so.
The young ladies of Logan will
give what they call a "silver party"
at the residence of Miss Mae Mont
gomery on Friday evening of next
week. We could not learn, though
persistant in our effort, wherein
the name was coefficient to the
party. Whether or not there is to
be no gold bugs there, or each
must needs haye some silver money
to be considered in it, or the supper
is to be served on silver plates
with silver knifes, forks and
spoons, we could not learn. The
young lady that informed us of
this mysterious party would not
impart TO the public the impli-
cation of the white metal, but we
will abide the time and then tell
all about it.
