If he votes against protection he
will be false to those believers in

The only way to relieve Mr..

him to stay at home and not vote

LYING ABOUT NORRIS.
The Free Silver Correspondent
Of the0Times Shows 3. -
His Hand. #

The Minneapolis Times of Tues
day morning contains a telegram
from Little Falls, saying: IA
fudge Page Morris, of Duluth,
spoke here tonight to an audience
Of about 600. A copy of a number
of questions were passed to the
crowd, and a copy given to Judge
Morris. He refused to answer the
questions, and scored those who
had prepared them
Then the Times prints the
questions.
Now, how is that for a free
silver report of the Morris ques-
tions and answers? It shows first
that the free silverites endorsed
the questions, and that a report
was sent to the papers before the
meeting was held. When Morris
so thoroughly and satisfactorily
answered the questions, the rank
and file of the free silver party
promptly denounced the question
scheme, and either repudiated any
connection with the questions, or
cursed the questioners as fools.
But still the report is given out III
the state that Morris refused to
answer questions. It is desper-
ate campaign that needs such
tactics. That whole Question
matter has been a good sized
boomerang to the free silverites.

Bryan Is as rank free trader as
there is IN the United States. On
Jan. Is, 1892, he introduced a bill
in congress to. place lumber on the
free list. Free trade in lumber has
hurt Little Falls more than Bryan
and all his crowd of howlers can
ever help it. Don't let any free
silver promises induce you to vote
for Bryan the free trader. He dare
not promise the people any more
"prosperity" under free trade, so
he is trying to fool them into be-
ieving his promises of good times
with free silver. The people be-.
lieved such men as Bryan in 1892,
and the nation has been suffering
for it ever since. Experience has
warned them against Bryan's
teaching, and they are not to be
fooled again.

One of the most amusing events

One Of the most amusing events
of the campaign was the prompt
ness with which the free silverites
displayed their instincts by
promptly applying them to the
"questions" prepared for Morris.
After the questions were an.
swered. the free silverites prompt.
ly "repndiated' the questions.
The answers were so convincing
that the free silvelites who did
not form the questions at once
claimed it was put up job to give
Morris chance to answer some
questions easy. The fellows who
formed the questions must feel
complimcntcd to hear the crit1-
cisms that all citizens are making
on the foolish break.
Still, those questions showed
about as good Judgment as the free
silverites have displayed in any
matter in the campaign.
When a campaign is in charge
of men who do not believe in the
principles they profess, they can
not work for success with any
skill or Judgment. The whole
free silver scheme is such a fake
in the minds of the men who are
managing the local Democratic
campaign that they can't exercise
good judgment in presenting the
issues to the public.
Shaw and Vasaly do not believe
in free silver coinage and they
naturally are led INTO error in
attempting to create sentiment in
favor of what they regard as
humbug.

CAN'T AFFORD 1T.

Mr.. Bryan, when asked if The
adoption of free coinage Of silver
at the ratio Of Is to 1 would not
bring about a panic, stated that
SOM etimes when man was sick,
he has to get sicker before he can
get we'll. It's a beautiful thing
to see such devotion to our country
as is exhibited by Mr.. Bryan.
With the stroke of the pen he
would overturn all the present
commercial conditions in this
country, which have been building
up for quarter OF a century !;
plunge the country into chaos and
confusion; paralyze still further
all branches of productive enter.
prise which are the labor giving
forces; still further restrict the
field for capital, muscle and brain;
bring want and distress, worry,
sickness and misery, and for
what! That he experiment with
scheme which history shows us
cannot but fail; which.sound sense
cannot approve of, and which is
not only impracticable but dis
honest. That Willie Bryan, the
boy orator of the Platte, a man
who has never made a success Of
any business, who is fitted neither
by nature, age nor experience to
direct the affairs Of any under
taking that involves the fortunes
and destinies Of others, may have
an object lesson in finances! Can
we afford, though devoted to the
education of our youth as we are,
to give him this lesson at the ex-
pense of public and private loss;
want aud misery for the thousands
who will be deprived of an op-
portunity to work for their bread,
or having work, will have the
value of their labor cut in half,
and with the loss of our nations
honor?
We believe in encouraging ed.
ucation in every form, and to the
fullest extent, but really the boy
orators object lesson would come
too high. We cannot afford it
these hard times.

MCKINLEY WILL WIN.

There is practically no doubt in
the public mind as to the election
Of Maj. Mckinley as president OF
the United States on next Tues.
day. All the iudic; tions point to
that conclusion, and there is
scarcely a chance for different
result. A national election has
seldom been so plainly determined
in advance. Now the question
that must come to every supporter
Of McKinley is whether or not he
will aid il the election of con.
gresham who will b. supporter
of the next president in his adj
ministration. It IS unfair to
Mckinley to send to congress men
who will be antagonlstic to him.
McKinley's election will be only
half victory, if congressman are
elected who will oppose his plans
and suggestions.
G. A. Towne is a firm supporter
Of Bryan, and says that if the
election of president is thrown
into the house of representatives
he will vote for Bryan. Mr..
Towne should not receive the
support of any voter who favors
Mckinley. On that issue the lines
should be strictly drawn. A vote
for Mckinley is only partly effect
ual if at the same time vote IS
given for Towne. If you really
want to see Mckinley sadmiuistra.
ton successful, do not place
distractions in his way by voting
for a congressman who will be
antogonistic to him.
If you vote for Mckinley, vote
for Page Morris for Congress.
As McKinley's election is sure,
it would really be best for all
vot,r if Morris was elected, as a
divided victory could not result in
a satisfactory administration.
The country needs decided
verdict, and every voter should
realize that. Don't vote for one
kind of president, and for directly
opposite kind of congressman.
You will have Republican presi.
dent, now don't send 4 Popocrat
from this district.

Senator Foraker told the truth
the other day when he said it was
the real crime-the repeal Of the
Republican protective tariff law
that had brought on the present
depression. The "crime OF 70"
had nothing to do with it. The
claim that a mythical "crime"
suddenly brought on hard times
twenty years after it was CON-
mitted IS something that full
grown men would laugh at were it
not for the tremendous shouting
kept up by the paid agents of the
silver mining millionaires.-Fer-

WHAT MAKES HARD TIMES.

The Hunter, N. d., Herald con
tains the following, credited tc
Exchange" It states the real at
titude of Bryan so clearly anc
truthfully that it is deserving Of
repetition:
Mr.. Bryan and his corps of free
silver orators constantly denounce
idle capital. Mr.. Bryan knows
that idle capital is always the re-
suit of lack of confidence. He also
knows that idle capital makes idle
men. If one set Of men have the
capital and another set of men
who are workers stand ready to be
employed by this capital, then
there must be condition Of har.
mony between the people who own
the capital and the men who stand
ready to 60 to work or there will
be no work. If plan is proposed
which makes capital afraid, and if
the workers stand ready by their
votes and their majorities to carry
out this plan, then it is but natu-
raj that the men who control the
capital, being afraid of this new
plan, will hoard their capital and
keep it idle rather than risk it un-
der conditions which they believe
will be disastrous. Does it then
avail anything to the la boring man
that this capital is denounced as
the enemy Of the country?
The present total production of
silver is over 5000, 100000 a year,
or four times greater than in 1870,
and OH account of improved min
ing machinery can be produced
much cheaper than it could then.
Many silver mines make good
profits at the present prices, and
demand means an in.
creased supply rather than a higher
price for silver. In 1873 silver
was about 81 IA an ounce, and has
steadily declined to 6S cents,
while the government has bought
enough silver to make 800 million
dollars, and has coined only APO
million dollars. The only way to
raise the price is for a few men like
Rockefeller to get hold of the big
mines and limit the output. And
what good would that do us COM
mo.l folks?-Bede's Budget.

t~auntiux the wild Goat.

The White Goat OF Rocky Mountain
Goat az it indisoriminately called, is a
species of big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not SO much because
OF the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because OF its actual
rarity. It is a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. It il not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually: among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out of ten.
