Vote for Your Own Interest.
The financial issue which is now

SO great importance to the farmer
and laboring man, that they should
for tho time being, forget party
ties and vote for their own interest
as they see it, after careful inves+
tigation. On the solution of this
question depends, ina large meas,
ure, your future prosperity. Your
farm produce for years past has
been decreasing III value, until to-
you can scarcely raise enough on
your farms to pay your taxes and
expenses Do you want to contin-

for years past2 In 1873 silver was
was demonetized, thereby destroy
ing one-half of the redemption
money of this country, and gold
was made tho unit of value, and the
standard of our monetary system.
This resulted in the appreciation
of gold, and corresponding de
cline in prices This is not theory,
it is facts. We know this from OBJ
servation. The best arguments
which may be advanced by an ad
vocate of the gold standard would
not convince farmer that the pri-
ces of his farm products have not
constantly declined since the de
monetization of silver in 1873.
AS long as this country is on a
gold basis the farmer can hope for
nothing better than that which he
is now receiving. Then do away
with party ties. Vote for your
own interest. The moneyed mon
of the East are not interested in
your welfare. They did not frame
the st. Louis platform with view
to the betterment of your condi-
tions.

HARRISON. Mr.. Folsom is law
yer, and has business interests in
Nebraska. He says:
Gone reason Bryan was nomin-
ated was because of the anti-Cleve-
land sentiment that prevailed
through the West and South, but
the chief reason he was nominated
rather than some other candidate
was because he represents the
great masses of the Democratic
voters of the country.
All the gold in this country is
in the hands of the bankers and
and brokers. We do not see a $1U
gold piece in circulation from one
end of they to the other. There
is no demand for gold as money.
Those patriotic and philanthropic
bankers in New York who have in
the past three years MIXED the
Treasury dry of it's gold reserve
and fattened on the profits of
$265, 100000 bond sales came for
ward the other day and loaned the
Government S2O,OOO,OOO of their

of two rowdy countrymen who
slashed each other with knives q
few weeks ago.
Man and Yen were on friendly
terms, however, and were out one
evening for amusement. Mans
story is that he let Yen have $40
to play faro bank, although he
does not approve of gambling and
never INDUCES himself. Yen lost
the money and wanted more,
which was refused. This angered
Yen, and to pacify him, Man says,
he gave him IS, with the under
standing that Yen would put in
an equal sum, and if he won they
would divide. Yen won $50 and
gave Man 500. They separated
and Yen went back and lost $35.
He hunted up Man again and
asked for the 500 Man refused to
pungle any more, whereupon Yen
abused him and drew a knife.
Man says he has since threatened
him, and he fears bodily harm.
Yen, on the other hand, claims
that Man owed him an old debt,
which he was trying to collect.
Justice Hinkle withheld his de-
cisiOn.
The quarrel brought out the fact
that Lee Man has no certificate of
registration, which may give him
considerable trouble. There is one
man in the city who has known
him for several years as mer-
chant, but he requires two witnesses
in order to obtain certificate.
There is said to be also a bit of
Chinese romance in the background
the details of which have not yet
been divulged. AS nearly as can
be gathered the wife of a cousin of
All Yen's was stolen several years
ago, and Lee Man was suspected
of having provided the Celestial
LOchinvar with the means to fly
with his prize. In polite Chinese
society this is not considered gilt
edged etiquette.
