Trades Unionism the Greatest Proven

ertons often Get Into Unions for the
Purpose OF Causing Discord.

In the shadowy twilight I've seen in
my dreams
It's sweet clover meadows, meandering
streams;
And the perfume of apple-bloom came
back with balm
On the night winds breath from the
little home farm.
On the vine-shaded porch, when the
ev'ning lights glow,
In their quaint, easy chairs rocking
gently and slow,
The old folks are praying that safe
from all harm
Back the wand'rer may come to the lit
tie home farm.
Sparkling wines l have quaffed, drunk
from springs in the dell,
But no draught was so sweet as drink
from its well;
There's no landscape so fair, and no
place hath its charm
I'll go back to the dear ones, the little
home farm.
To the little home farm, to the little
home farm,
With it's Preside so bright, ever cozy
and warm;
And wherever I've roamed, spell and
charm
Has bound me to thee, dear little home
farm.

to be doubtful, he has not carried
enough to assure his success in the
electoral college.
Bryan electors have been chosen
from all the States south of the
Potomac river, except West Virginia,
and all those west OF the Missouri
except "alifornia and Oregon. He
has 1870 electoral votes, and this
number may be increased by final
returns from States yet in question.
Yet be has not obtained enough
votes to carry the electoral college.
Thus, this remarkable campaign
closes with the election of William
Mckinley. The result was brought
about by every kind OF coercion and
intimidation on the part OF the mon
ey power, including threats OF lock
outs and dsmissals and impending
starvation; by the employment OF by
far the largest campaign fund ever
raised in this country, and by the
subordination of a large portion OF
I
the American press.
The President-eiect and his party
are under the pledge to the American
people to continue thegold standard
and by its operation TO restore pros
perity to this country. AS chief ex-
ecutive, MIR. Mckinley will have the
cordial support Of millions OF patri-
otto Americans who have cast tneli
votes for William Jennings Bryan
They bow to the majesty OF the
office and abide by the result witt
none of the mutterings that woulo
have come from the money power
had it been unsuccessful.
They are confident the gold stand
ard can not give the promised pros
perity, but will gladly welcome it
il comes. They will continue in tn
great struggle for the uplifting O
humanity and the maintenance o
the dignity OF our country in tn
establishment Of the American mon
etary system.

met with a loss that grieves her
sorely. The young lady was at the
kaufman Bazaar having a dress fit

laid it on the dresser. The time piece
was forgotten until the young lady
got home, when she missed it. She
at once returned to the place she had
left it, but the watch was gone and
up to an early hour this morning
she had not recovered it. She priced
the watch very highly, more SO from
the fact that it was an heirloom,
than for its intrinsic value. The

LESSON FROM NEWSPAPERS.
Advertisements Contain Record of
business History.

A lawyer from the south, who
was recently in Philadelphia, tells
All advertising story that points Il
moral. 1t seems he had been en-
trusted with he commission OF find
ing certain possible American heirs
to the estate Of an English decedent.
"In making this inquiry" said the
Ia wyor, Il found it necessary to ex-
anime the files of the leading news
papers of Philadelphia and New
York, covering quite long period
1t seemsed an endless task, owing
largely to the fact that | was con-
tinually getting interested in some
article or advertisement that had no
possible connection with the matter
in hand. But that which especially
engaged my attention while perusing
those back numbers was the adrer-
It's ments OF certain business men
and commercial houses that were
constantly recurring throughout
the files. When they first attracted
my attention they didn't occupy a
great deal OF space, hut grew con
stantly larger. rs the dates OF the
file came nearer to the present lime,
until they filed pages, and from first
to last, whether solid or display
matter, they told their story clearly
aud impressiyely about what the
advertiser had to sell In these we'll
worded advertisement I seemed 10 be
reading the history and viewing the
prosperous growth Of the houses
that had inserted them. Being a
stranger in both cities and not fa-
milliar with the places OF business
about which been reading SO much
in the newspaper files, | determined
to crafty my curiosity by visiting
some of them. This l did, and found
colossal buildings, great emporiums

in some instances thousands, of men

withou exception, l was as
sured that the rapid growth and ex-
tension of the business was due
more to iudieious newspaper adver-
Using than to any other single fac
tor. One man, who was conducting
an immense business, told me it was
almost entirely the product OF news
paper advertising He stated that
he commenced business with Il capital
OF $4,000, OF which amount he in
vested $4,000 in stock and 1880 in
advertising. and at the end OF the
first year had doubled his capital;
that he continued to increase bis ad-
yertising and the double process con-
tinued and finally qnadrupled. He
said his house was then well known
and his business fully established,
and he felt that he should be relieved
OF the expense OF advertising, but
other houses in his line sprung up,
lcompetion was active, and he found
he must continue advertising to hold

NEEDED A PAIR OF SHOES.
Aud Made Bold Break and Secured
Pair.

Wednesday night about 7 o'clock.
IL leah, lank, poverty-stricken white
man sauntered into the shoe store of
J, & S Katenstein, and for a time
amused himself by gazing at the
handsome display OF footwear
carried by that excellent house.
From appearances the stranger
needed shoes, and that badly, for the
soles OF his feet were on the ground.
The man evidently fully realized his
wants and inability to supply them
in an honest way, for while the eyes
OF the clerks were off OF him for
moment, he seized a pair OF shoes,
made for the door and dashed at full
speed north on Main and then West
on Barraque street. Mr.. Sam
Katzenstein, who was in the rear of
the store. saw the theft committed
and as quickly as possible gave chase
to the thief, but his legs were too short
to hope to catch the long-legged and
desperate fugative, and SO after
splendid run as far as Walnut street
Mr.. KatzeAstein gave up the chase.
and charged one pair OF shoes in the
columns OF profit and loss"
