Investigate Their Records and See How
 They Love the Workingman.

Investigate the record of the men who are loudest ill their appeal to wageworkers to op- pose the free coinage of silver because 10 will be a damage to them by compelling them to receive 52 cent dollars instead of 100 cent dol. iars-examine the record of these men, and 1t will be found in nearly every case that they are who would jump at the chance of paying their employees in 52 cent dollars. The natural conclusion is that the fear of these men is not that they could pay their men in 52 cent dollars, but that they would be com. pelled to pay their men more 100 cent dollars than they now dc. Springfield tIils.l Register.
 That's the idea, exactly. Investigate the records of the men who are now so loudly bewailing the threatened evils of free silver and it's effect upon the wageworkers. Imagine, if you can, the vast quantity of hriny tears Andrew Carnegie is weeping over the idea that he may be able to pay his employees in 50 cent dollars. Think of the sorrow that must fill Marcus Aurelius Hanna's heart when he ponders over the idea that unless he can maintain the gold standard he will have to cut the wages of his workmen i'll the oilfelds and coal mines by paying them 90 cent dol- lars for their work. Conjure up i'll your minds vision of Hobart bewailing the fact that if free silver wins the day he will be able to pay the girls and boys in his tobacco mills just half what be pays them now. Rejoice in your hearts. oh, ye wageworkers. because the great corporations are taking such interest in maintaining your wagesl
 But while you are doing these things bear i'll mind that all these words of sympathy are being uttered before elee- tion. Investigate the records of these men and find, if you can, where and when any one of them has ever divided the profits with his employees. InYesti- gate the records. Omaha World Her. Rld

All vaIues, including the value of money. depend upon the law of supply and de- mand. The principle of that law Is that scarcity increases the value of the thing. Abundance decreases the value of the thing. If money is dear (searce), all other values measured by 1t are correspondingly cheapened. If money is cheap (plentiful). all other values measured by 1t are cor respondingIy enhanced.

Buckner. gallant Confederate, the honor of second place on the nation al ticket The speeches of these four gentlemen furnished the inspiration for repeated entbursts of enthusiasm. The auditorium. which seats about 4000, was thrown open to the public with the ex- oeption of several hundred seats on the stage, reserved for distinguished visit ors, and part of the parquette, in which out of-town delegations were provided for. It was filled to the utmost.

 ATeusrA, Me, Sept 14-If predie. tions prove true Lewellyn Powers, Re. publican, will be elected governor oi Maine today by over 30,0oo majority, with strong possibility that the figures will be nearer 0,000 At least that is what the prophets of both parties, whe have been figuring the vote for the lasi three weeks, declare.
 Not in 20 years has the Pine Tree state seen such yigorons canvass with so much interest manifested During the last three weeks it is estimated that over TOO speeches have been delivered i'll all sections of the state by orators of local and national fame i'll behalf of both parties Tons of campaign doou- ments have been distributed The Re publican canvas has. of course, been con. dncted under the more favorable cir. cumstanees.
 Maine has never heard so many dis tinguished Republican orators us during the past few weeks On the other hand the Democratic host has had many dis senters within it's lines and the number of prominent deserters has been large. Six weeks ago all was confusion and dis organization in the Democratic camp The fighting fund was small and vic- tory was practically impossible. But the supporters of free silver rallied the faltering army and took up the contest. determined to make the best fight possi- ble, and until ths last gun was fired they resisted stubbornly
 The Democratic managers claim that the doctrine of free silver WAS praoti. cally unknown in Maine two months ago, and they argue that the Democratic vote which will be cast today means that their policy has made great gains in the last few weeks. They declare that if the Republican majority falls below 10000 it will be Democratic victory
 The governor is the only state officer elected by the people of Maine. all the others being chosen by the legislature. The candidates are Hon Lewellyn Pow CTS, Republican Hon Melvin P. Frank, Democrat 4. s. hadd, Prohibition, and Luther O. Bateman, Populist. The name of William Henry Clifford. the nominee of the gold Democrats, IS not on the ticket and those who wish to vote for him must write his name on the ballot.
 In all of the congressional districts increased vsajorities are looked for for the Republican candidates. It is not ex- pected that a single Democrat will se- cure seat ill the senate.

 ST. LOUIS, Sept 15.-When William ]. Bryan came ont of the Presbyterian church he attended Sunday, he was greeted by crowd of several thousand people who eheered him and shouted as loudly as did the throngs that heard him speak Saturday night.

The jam became so violent in 8 short while that Mir Bryan was almost crushed to the floor. A sergeant of po- lice was called, and aided by Colonel J. l.
