Why we can offer the finest pianos
made at lowest prices ever named in

from the factory and do not have to
lay tribute to any San Francisco house.
Because we deal direct with the pur-

is customary to pay teachers and
friends of purchasers for their infu-
ence, and also on account of the small
expense under which we are able to do
business, all combined. effecting a saw

Olive Oil.

There is probably more decep-

other food product. People will call for
various brands of the said-to- be-im-

for. The fact is that Placer County
was awarded the first premium at the
Worlds Fair, Chicago, for the best olive

THE GOLD STANDARD A FAILURE.
The Kind of prosperity 1t Has Brought
Upon This Country.

You are informed by the goldbug
press that a wonderful wave of pros
perity is sweeping over the country.
Has it hit you yet? This is the season
Of the year when business should be
rushing. Have you employed an extra
force of clerkS7
Have your wages been raised since
this boom struck the country? Have
any new and vast enterprises been
started since prosperity set in? How
about this boom, anyhow?
If there is a boom who gets the credit?
We are now living under the admins
tration of Grover Cleveland. If there
is a boom it belongs to him. William
Mckinley is not president, and he never
will be. The only thing William Nc
Kinley ever gave the country was his
tariff bill, and while that bill was in
full force and effect William Mckinley
went into bankruptcy. Mark Hanna
now holds his notes for $l1S000, his
contribution to the Mckinley bill dis
aster.
II this is a wave Of prosperity may

give us anything else.
Pick UP your paper of last week
and look at the weekly report of the
bank clearings of the United States.
1t is the most discouraging exhibit
since the period preceding the panic
of 1898. Chicago showed S742S6.427,
against s1O1, 100000 for the correspond
ing week of a year ago. There was
not big city in the country that did
not show an appalling decrease. The
average decrease for the United States
was 81 per cent. The weekly report Of
the bank clearings gauge comparative
prosperity with the accuracy of a.
thermometer.

Mr. Cunningham, president and
manager of the company, says he and
nearly all his employees have been life
long Republicans, but they are all for
Bryan and free silver now. Mr.. Cum
ningham said the above notice had been
posted because the company fully be-
lievd that under free coinage in
creased business would justify In
creased wages.
President Cunningham, who Is q
practical molder, then went on to show
how molders' wages prior to 1873 were
so per cent. higher than they were to-
day; how, after silver was demonetized.
there was a gradual decline until the
passage of the Bland-Allison act In
1873, which revived the west increased
demand for holders products and re-
suited in increased wages.
Business depression six years later
caused another decline. In his opinion
nothing will restore permanent pros
perity but the restoration of silver. In
concluding Mr. Cunningham remarked:
do you know of any factories offer
ing increased wages If Mckinley 10
elected? l don't"
Not only has no factory offered an
Increase of wages II Mckinley is elect
ed, but in the very nature OF things
there must follow a general reduction
of wages in that event. The inevitable

Do you think they are so Insignificant that

PlNkERTON DETECTIVES.
"Let Public Order BE Preserved by Public
Authority"

In the house Of representatives Nav
u, 1894 Mr.. Bryan said; II only desire
to say, Mr.. Speaker, that this resolu-
ton ought to pass. 1t is simply to in
vestigate whether there has been any
violation of the federal constitution or
laws by the action of these men. / be-
lieve in law and order, but l believe
that the law and order should be main
tanned by the lawful authorities, and
not by the private armies. Govern
ments are organized to protect life and
property. These functions should not
be transferred to private individuals
and hired detectives until we are ready
to acknowledge government failure.
1T is not fair to compel corporations
to protect their property in this way,
nor is it right that the safety and even
life of the citizen shall be imperiled by
a private and irresponsible soldiery.

The State of Iowa.

The Republican managers have be-
come SO badly frightened over Iowa
that they have not only been compelled
within the past three days to place
several hundred thousands Of dollars
in that state. but have also been COM
PEELED to resort to the usual Mckinley
subterfuge of claiming everything. A Re-
publican morning newspaper having a
mortgage of S11S,O00 on Major McKin-
ley has found ii necessary to send it's
most versatile correspondent into that
state for the purpos of manufacturing
a Mckinley majority out of an adj
verse majority of 1000. 1t is known
positively at national Democratic head
quarters that the last Republican poll
of Iowa gave that state to Bryan by
1000 majority. This explains the solic-
itude for Iowa. Secretary Walsh OF
the national Democratic committee has
In his possession a complete poll of that
state completed within the past week.
1t shows that Bryan will carry Iowa by
a majority Of not less than 81 900, and
II may exceed $4,000. The poll shows a
Republican detection for Bryan in
svery county in the state. This defec-
ton runs from fifty to 1900 in every
county inthe state. The banner Repub-
lican counties in the state are those
most seriously affected and they will go
for Bryan. The Republican poll con-
cedes 10000 Republicans to Bryan: the
Democratic poll shows $4,000 Repub-
licans in the state as being for Bryan
What is more, Republicans are coming
over every day in every county, while
the list of Democrats who have been
inclined to vote for Palmer is growing
less, and the indications are that not
more than 1000 gold Democrats will be
found in the state in November.

A Prominent old Republlcan Changes.

Among the notable Republicans who
are out for silver is one whose advocacy
CT the white metal is of peculiar in
terest throughout the country. Cen
eral William Birney, a lifelong Adolf
ZIONIST and Republican, and a gallant
soldier in the Union army, has ad-
dressed a letter to the Democratic ma
tional committee, announcing his ad-
herence to the free silver cause. Cen
eral Bitney is the son of James q.
Birney, who was twice the candidate
of the Abolitionist party for president
of the United States. In the letter
which he has addressed to Chairman
Campau, of the national Democratic
campaign committee, he says:
From the origin of the Republican
party up to the adoption of its plat
form, last June, at st. Louis l have
shared it's principles, rejoiced in its sue
cesses and sorrowed in its defeats;
but upon the financial plank of that
platform l cannot stsnd. The logic
of my antecedents does not place me
side by side with with Grover Cleve-
land and John G.. Carlisle.
Il believe in honest bimetallism, as
IT existed before 1873, and that the Unit
ed States ought to lead off in the re-
turn to it. OF all the nations that de-
monetized silver, we are the most popu-
lous and the most free from internal
tional ENHANCEMENT. We have more
territory than continental Europe, and
our domestic commerce is nineteen
times as much as our foreign COM
merce. Our duty and interest is 70

first and for European interest after
ward, if at all.
The st. Louis platform recommends
that the United States shall wait for
European action and shall maintain
the gold standard Monometallism,
even as a temporary expedient strikes
me as a blunder. The maintenance
of the gold standard is the maintenance
of dollar which is constantly rising
In value. 1t means falling prices, ruin
of farmers, hard times, black Fridays,
the rule Of the banking syndicates,
the repeated issue of government bonds
for loans, and the continued use Of the

4 Series of Falsehoois,

Recently the Hanna bureau issued a
bulletin claiming that the national
Democratic managers had abandoned
the attempt to elect Mr.. Bryan and
would devote the rest of the campaign
to the election of legislature in states
where United States senators are to be
chosen. When Chairman Jones atten-
ton was called to the bulletin he said:
1T is only one Of the series of false
hoods the Re- ublicans have spread in
order to bolster up their lost cause.
There is not a syllable of truth in
the assertion that we have abandoned
Bryan or that we intend doing so. Mr..
Bryan is already elected, from now on
1t is only a question of majority. We
not only intend to elect Mr.. Bryan,
but we are sure to carry enough legis-
latures to increase the free silver ma
jority in the United States senate.
In this connection l desire to warn
the public against any statements APP
pearing from this time on in the gold
bug press concerning the campaign.

this on to make statements concern

Chicago, Oct 15.-[Special 1-Reports
of intimidation OF employees by railroad
corporations and large manufacturing
concerns continue to come to national
Democratic headquarters. The nation
al Democratic managers today re-
ceived evidence that the officials of the
Wabash railroad were issuing orders
TO their employees that they must pledge
themselves to vote for Mckinley or
lose their Jobs. A copy of a circular
letter signed by the master mechanic
of the Wabash railroad shops at Spring
fed, Ills, contains the animus of the
railroad corporations. This circular
letter gives notice to the employees of
that railroad company, at Springfield,
that they must at once join Mckinley
clubs. A copy of the letter is in the
hands of a member of the Democratic
state central committee, and will be
printed in all free silver papers
throughout the country.

road company is also engaged in the
business of intimidation. This COM
pany has issued, upon stationery which
