Mckinley is the candidate of the
protected monopolist who owns ma
chinery thlt he didn't invent. The
poor wage slave who feeds the ma

to 60 around with patches on his
pants, whose wife worries and frets all
day and sits up nights mending his
clothes thinks Mckinley is his candi-
date, too. l suppose that is because
the man in rags thinks his interests
are the same" as his employers.-Com-

The railroads Of this country kill

In Switzerland, where the govern

Oh no! The Populist party has not
been swallowed by the Democrats,
The Populists, like the Silver Repub-
licans. want to see Mckinley defeated
and the gold power Overthrown, and
have just loaned Bryan 100000 Popu-

him in the fight. Like Butcher at

The means that are being used by

Of the United States Supreme Court
UNFOLDING British gold contracts, the
London Daily News says: '"The point
is complicated by one decision, and
the future course Of the United States
Supreme Court in this particular is by
no means so certain as Wall street
and Lombard street would like us to
believe, but the CONSERVATISM shown
by the Supreme Court, special respect
for property, as demonstrated by it's
verdict against the income tax, indi
| Gates that the chances are in favor Of
the validity of the gold contract be-
ing maintained under all circum-
stances" The 'conservatis m" shown
by the Supreme Court is exactly

ic and corrupt institution. The peo-
pie are getting exceedingly weary of
the conservatism that eternally feeds
English shylocks and Expresses the
American people.-St. Louis Journal.

plenty of gold in the country. Maybe
there is; but why is it that we never
get any of it out in this ives tern coun-
try. Several years ago the elevator
men received nearly all their money in
gold. But there has been change,
and now they receive silver certiti-

dollar bill and fives. If there is so
much gold in the country, the best ar
gument the gold advocates could m Ike
would be to get some of i: in circula-
