VIM. Silverson of Brown county has

Brown county, always shy on rolling
up any considerable amount Of Re-

man while some of the other Repub-

AL. Bager, chairman of the Demo
cratic county committee, and Demo-
crat of the Jeffersonian type, is not
strictly in accord with his party on
the money question. The fighting
Democrat, when asked regarding his
position, replies II am Democrat, -
implying that where his party, or a
lot of new fellows, some similar to the
Altgeld stripe, get control of the par
ty and drift away from the Democrat
ic principles Of Jefferson and Hill, he
can still adhere to those principles and
be q Democrat. There is considerable
in the logic of the Democratic chair
man and he is likely to land right
side up with care in the big scrap that
is to follow.

MONEY THE ISSUE.

The issue is being squarely met.
The campaign which will be formally
opened with the placing in the field
of Populistic candidate for Presi-
dent and President at St. Louis
next week, or the endorsement by that
party of the Democratic nominees,
Bryan and Sewall, will be fought out
squarely on the issue of the single
gold or the double standard with the
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l
as fast as the bullion is offered to the
National mints.
The Democratic party, through its
representatives in convention assem-
bled last week, practically admits that
the free trade policy of Grover Cleve-
land is sham and that protection to
American industries as promulgated
in the Republican platform has come
to stay. 1t admitted that Cleveland's
foreign policy was weak and un-
American and not in good touch with
the patriotic people of the United
States. In other words the conven-
ton practically rebuked every act of
President Cleveland from the incep-
ton of.his second term.
The Democratic party threw up all
the issues on which it has heretofore
foughtEits battles, and took up that
other ue,::foreign to Democracy, the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of l6 to l. The free sill
YER flag was.ifaunted in the eyes of
those representatives of the Eastern
Democracy, who sat in the convention,
and with untiring efforts fought for
the single standard or for straddle
of the issue.@@It was Haunted by two
thirds of the delegates, who, amid the
widest and most dramatic scenes ever
witnessed in National convention
since the civil war, after adopting the
plank, nominated the widest apostle
of free:silver as their candidate for
President.
The GAZETTE is friendly to silver
but is opposed to the free and unlim-
tied coinage of the same at the ratio
of 16 to until such time as an inter
national commission fixes upon that
or some other standard. It believes
that the enactment of a law by the
United States alone for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver would be
disastrous to the farming and COM
mercial interests of the country, and
particularly of the Western States
where there is such a large class OF
borrowers. 1t would drive money out
of these States and create depres-
sion far worse than we are suffering
at the present time under Democratic
misrule. It would compel borrowers
to pay in gold or it's equivalent and
hence it would necessitate paying a
premium on the loan. We hope that
our free silver readers will give this
subject their earnest consideration
between now and election and then
cast ballot according to their own
convictions of their best interests

European Aristocracy Supported BY
American Labor.

If there is anything more disgusting
than American plutocrat snobbery we
would like some ingenious person to
name it. For thirty years it has held the
old political parties in the hollow of its
hand and through them passed laws to
promote and foster the growth of this
vile, noxious, moral weed in American
republican soil, till the crop is now abun-
dant and a commerce has set in, which is
an exchange of the daughters of this
social weed with their millions of Amer
lean wealth gathered into hands that toll
not, by the alchemy of class laws, for bar
rem tillers that decorate foreign beggars
and roues.
To sustain this commerce the American
farmer is found at his pillow when the
stars are seen in the sky, the American
mechanic at his bench, the weaver at the
loom, the merchant behind his counter
fourteen hours daily, and labor in every
line of employment delving while day
light lasts. This is the slavery this mil
lionaire snobbery has produced The
great masses of the American people toll
like slaves from early dawn till night,
and far into the night many of them, that
this idle, titled class of the old world may
draw riotous living through American
girls whose money has been accumulated
by the jugglery of corporations and trusts,
wrecked railroads, and by system of the
rankest fraud that would have led ST. aight
into the penitentiary had the perpetrators
not been protected by special laws and
bribed judges. And the drain of interest
and dividends will go in steady stream,
fed by the sweat of labor's brow and the
rack of labor's brain, across the ocean to
feed and nourish decaying, empower
ished, corrupt, licentious aristocracy
which is fostering mass of moral decay.
This curse of nation and people has been
fostered and built up, till it assumes to
dictate total change of government,
except in name, for these United States,
by the old parties through period of
thirty years. Are the people ever going
to wake up to realization oftheir true
condition? Two hundred and fifty or
three hundred millions of the hard earned
wealth of American labor goes across the
Atlantic every year to feed this lecherous
crew.

What q Kurd Is Like.

In color they are usually no darker,
and often not nearly so dark, as south
ern Europeans. The eyebrows and LASH
es and eyes are generally black, and
nose aquiline and fine, and the mouth
we'll formed. The face is long and oval,
while in stature a medium height seems
to be general. The chin is shaved, the
mustache alone being left, and over it
no end of trouble is taken with comb
and wax. The hair is usually shaved
along the top of the crown, but left
long ON either side, though little or
nothing of it is visible, owing to the pc
culiar and characteristic manner in
which the men deck their heads The
Kurd's costume is distinctly his own,
and except in the south, where he has
come more or less under Persian infiu-
ence, he never abandons it. A high silk
pointed cap crowns tho Lead, round
which is woven a number of silk scarfs
and handkerchiefs in skillfully arranged
disorder.
The favorite colors for these turbans
are dark claret and gold, with here and
there a narrow stripe Of some brilliant
hue. The rough fringes are left hanging
down, as often rs not covering the eyes
and ears of the wearer and adding not
little to his fantastic appearance. Over
a white linen shirt, with sleeves that
end in points more than yard long, so
that they touch the ground, silk coat
is worn, crushed strawberry being the
favorite color, though cherry color and
white satin are almost equally com
mon. These coats are made collarless
and open at the neck and fold across the
breast, being held in place by wide
silk sash skillfully folded and inter-
twined. In this sash the long pipe and
curved dagger are thrust. -Blackwood's

BEST WAY TO INSURE VICTORY
IN 100.
A Plan That Deserves the Support of
Every Reformer i'm the
Country

A great national campaign cannot be
carried on without money. The Populists
are poor and even heroism cannot draw
| from them sufficient donations to carry
on the needed work of education. In
order to raise 81 900, 900 for the organiza-
ton of the reform hosts the PEOPLES
SUPPLY co. has been formed with head
quarters in Baltimore. Cleora Eugenia
Cooke, the I7-year-old Populist orator
who, according to the Review of Reviews
for December, helped cause the defeat of
Arthur P. German during the last cam
paign in Maryland, is now starting on a
tour over the country, appealing to the
women for support. The Peoples Supply
Co. manufactures soap, starch, baking
powder. shoe backing and cigars. The
trade mark OF the Peoples Supply Co. is
the picture of Maryland's Joan of Arc,
Miss Cooke, and where there is trade
union label this is also added. Now, all
the profits on all the goods with the Joan
of Arc trade mark go to the building up
of the Peoples party. 1t is the method
by means of which 81 900, 900 can be rails
ed in two years. You can help the cause
IN no better or more effective way than
by telling your grocer that you will &C
cept no other brands. 1.-two good Gus
toners in any locality in America insist
on their grocer keeping these brands he
will do SO. When once he has them on
hand he will sell to others. The articles
being the best of their kind on the mar
ket, those who buy once will continue to
buy and from the efforts of two good men
steady income will flow into the Popu-
list treasury.
All these goods are also wrapped in
gems of Populist literature, and every
wrapper is an educator and all agitstor.
If your grocer can't get our goods from
his wholesaler, tell him that card to the
Peoples Supply Co., Baltimore, will
reach us, and we will sell him goods
direct.
Our accounts are audited every three
months by committee of our national
leaders, headed by Congressman M. w.
Howard, of Alabama.
We want good agents and organizers in
every locality of the United States.

A DOG THAT REASONED.

His Masters Bcd.
No one that knew Bombshell ever
doubted that he reasoned and thought,
but occasionally l would find a stranger
who was not inclined to believe it, and
then would tell him the following
story: My parlor was front casemate
which opened by an arch into my bed
room, a back casemate. A casemate
may be described as room in the wall
of a fort, generally intended, in war
time, to hold a gun or powder, while in
time of peace ma,.y of them, like mine,
are fitted up for use as quarters for off
GERS and soldiers.
Bombshell had his own bed in the
back easement, but he preferred my bed
and would use it whenever he could.
had tried to break him Of the habit, but
had not been successful.
One day he came in wet and muddy,
and, as usual, curled up on my white
Counterpart. The result was awful. AS
much as I hated to do SO, felt obliged
to give him thrashing.
I never caught him on my bed again.
He would still get on it; but. no mat
ter how quietly 1 came i'll, I would al
ways find him on the floor, though
could see from the rumpled condition of
the bed that he had been on it, and Of
ten the spot where he had slept would
still be warm.
One evening I went out, leaving
Bombshell lying by the parlor stove.
Out of curiosity peeked through the
half turned Stats of my shutters and
watched him. From my position was
able to see the whole of both of my
rooms,
For awhile Bomhshell did not move
then he raised his head and looked at
the door; finally he got up, stretched
himself, yawned sleepily, walked to the
bed, jumped up, and put his fore paws
on it, Standing in this position, a
thought struck him, and he said to him.
self:
"Suppose that my master hasn't gone!
He will catch me and then I shall get a
licking. I'll go and make certain that
he is not coming back.
I know that he said this because he
took his paws off the bed, walked eau
tiously back to the front door, and, with
his ear close to the crack, he listened.
At last, satisfied that I had really gone,
he trotted back to the bed, jumped on
it, curled up and went to sleep.
After such clever act I thought that
he had earned his sleep, so went away
and left him.-St. Nicholas.
