The LaborIng Man.

Say, you laboring man, you are
out of work over half your time,
and when you do work you get on
ly half of your old wages. Work
has been getting scarcer and wages
lower for the past twenty-three
years, ever since silver was demon
etized, and yet is said yod favor a
gold standard, which robs you of
work and wages. Let us tell you
something, and you can cut it out
and paste it up for reference. If
the gold standard carries and is ir-
revocably fixed upon the country,
you will not only have less work,
but lower wages. If you insist
upon being deceived you have no
one to blame but yourselves, and
if you insist upon voting against
your friends, who are trying to give
you better times, more work and
bettor wages, all we ask of you is
to remember our prediction and see
if it is not the gospel truth.
If the petty thieving now going
on about town is not stopped,
blood hounds will have to be pro-
cured to run these scoundrels
down.
Let us help to make Decoration
Day grand success.

In this issue we give the an
nouncement of Mr.. John e. Boiler
for Prosecuting Attorney. Mr..
Beller has been member of the
Mason County Bar since 1888.
He is an able, honest, painstaking
lawyer. Four years ago-the cam
paign of 1892 he was the nom
inee of the Democratic party of
this county, for this office. His
popularity and hold on the people
was shown in the fact that
he ran ahead of his ticket,
by nearly two hundred votes.
Should he be the choice of the
party in convention, a vigorous and
clean canvass will be made, ond if
elected, the taxpayers will get
"value received" for the salary that
is paid for this office; and the
duties of the office will be served
ably, honestly and faithfully.

nawley,s summer Residence Iiurne.

NEW HAVEN, May 25.-Fire started
in the summer residence of United
States Senator Joseph n. Hawley, at
Woodmont, and spread before high
wind until it was beyond control by the
volunteer fire brigade that contended
with it. Help was summoned from
Milford. Two buildings in the path of
the conflagration were torn down to
stop it's further progress, but that only
served to check the flames. When the
latest word was sent from Woodmont
the entire destruction of the place
seemed imminent

In a Nutshell.

The panic of '93 caused hard
times. 1t was caused by bad mon
etary laws. Every business man
knows that. Some Republican
politicians admit it. But the Re-
publicans saw in the hard times a
chance to score n point and make
capital. They charged it onto the
Democratic tariff. TWAS, with its
slight reductions, the cause of the
manic. Only restoration of the
discarded policy can restore pros
perity. They preached this doc
trine necessarily. They knew bet
ter; their Intelligent business men
know better, but they are overawed
and silent. The mass believe what
their speakers and papers tell them.
Mckinley is the embodiment, in
their eyes, of McKinleyism. He
alone is identified with that policy.
