BRYAN AT MILWAUKEE.

1t should be evident by this time to
the most hostile opponent of free coin
age that the people are fiocking to
hear Mr. Bryan, not because they are
ANXIOUS to see a presidential candi-
date, not because he has been so abused
and denounced. not because he is the
youngest man ever nominated to the
high Office of president of the United
States, but because he brings to them
that message of hope and good cheer
for which they have listened so long
and so vainly. They go to hear him
because he gives utterance to those
thoughts which fill their own breasts.
Assembled thousands do nCc stand on
wet and muddy ground in the rain to
hear a man speak that they may sat
isfy an idle curiosity. And this is
what they did at Milwaukee-in Mil
waukee, that home Of the Germans
who are said to be for sound money"
And what a speech it was! How he
set forth the history CT the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
law; how, instead of stopping the out
flow of gold as had been predicted. the
flow increased Following this he told
the story of the bond issues, told it as
it was never told before. No eXaggeC-
alton, no denunciation; he told sim
pie tale in plain and honest English.
When he related how She syndicate
manipulated the bond issues, and the
officials of the government tamely and
without protest submitted to the man
ipulation, it must have stirred to their
very depths the souls of those who
heard him.
What does it mean?" asked Mr..
Bryan, TT means that these fnanciers,
when they thought they had the gov
eminent at their mercy, were willing to
let it have gold at a dollar and five
cents, and yet when others came in
and offered to bid, they raised their
bid more than five millions of dollars
What does it mean? 1t means these
people who pose as guardians of the
public credit and national honor would
have bled the taxpayers OF this coun-
try five million dollars on a single
transaction, if they had been permit
ted to do it,
Up to the present time, since his NOM
ination, Mr.. Bryan has made some
ninety odd speeches. but he has not
made one that viii be more popular
with the people than this one he made
at Milwaukee.

A BLIND LEADER.

The pastor of the Apostolic Christian
congregation of New York has been
telling his flock that the end of the
world was at hand, he having set the
time for Wednesday last. The end did
not come, perhaps for the reason that
the world being round it could not
have an end. Here was poor, deluded
pastor who no doubt believed in what
he told his people; and they, poor
creatures. believed what was said to
them. They followed a blind leader
and let their over excited imaginations
urge them on. Did Pastor Sturzke tell
his people any more improbable thing
than the gold men are telling the peo-
pie will transpire if we have free coin
age? They foretell disaster of all kinds.
the breaking down of Republican gov
eminent, the advent of anarchy, a very
saturnalia of all the forces destructive
of society. Mark Hanna is the Pastor
StutzlSe of the goldbugs.

THE G. A. R. IN POLITICS.

bold attempt IS being made to use
the c. A R. organization to aid the
candidacy of Major Mckinley. Dur
ing the annual reunion at ST. Paul a
letter was addressed to all members of
tine G. A. R., calling on them to rally
to the support of Mckinley, to save the
country from threatened anarchy and
lawlessness. The letter caued a great
deal of indignation among the MEM
bers. but 1T seems that those vino put
forth the letter are going to pursue their
plan of bending the influence Of the
organization to aid Mckinley. General
D. E. Sickles, Franz Sigel, Russell A.
Alger and others, including Corp. Tan
ner, are to tour the country in General
Ayers private car and address the
soldiers and others. General Sickles
says they want to shake hands with
the soldiers and tell them to stand in
line as they did in 81.
There are more than a million of
them in the country" says he, ''and
they can do a lot of good for Mckinley
besides voting for him. as a great ma
y
Speeches are to be made in Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska. Kan
sas. Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky Ohio
and Michigan. Those who are in charge
of the speaking tour have decided to
initiate Bryan in one thing; they pro-
pose to have speeches made from the
rear end of the car at stations en- route.
The aim and objects of the G. A R.
are not to control or influence politics
one way or another; it is a non-polit-
ical association, and, this appeal to
the members in the name of duty
owed to that country for which they
sacrificed so much is an attempt to
enlist the noblest sentiments of the
human heart under false pretenses and
for base purposes. We mistake the
temper of the G. A. r. mem of the
west if they do not protest, and in no
uncertain terms, against this attempt
to betray their organization into the
hands OF the very men who would fas-
ten upon the people forever the gold
standard, which would make of them
slaves as much as were the black men
from whose limbs Lincoln struck the
manacles. We hope that every post in
the west. no matter which way the
sympakhies Of its members may DE, will
protest against this attempted debase-
ment of the organization to the fur
therance of political schemes.

The secret of health is to keep the
blood pure and full of strength. When
a man or woman loses flesh and vital
ity, there is something wrong in the
blood. The start of it is likely to be in
the stomach or bowels, and if they are
put in order the trouble generally stops.
Consumption is a germ disease, but if
the blood is good, and keeps the lungs
strong and healthy, the germs cannot
find place to lodge and are cast off.
If there's a weak spot, the germ Will
find it. Even after that, strong and
pure blood will strengthen the lungs SO
that they can gradually rid themselves
of the germs. 1t is by creating strength
and purity hat DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cures consumption
and other diseases. It makes one gain
flesh-not flabby, oily fat, but sound
firm, useful, healthy flesh. Hundreds
of patients have testified to its Won
derfully beneficial effects in many dis
eases and especially in incipient con-
sumption.

That enterpristng paper, the New

tingudshed correspondents at the ma
tional conventions. At indianapolis it
had Colonel John f. Fellows. Here is
an oracular delive-ance from him,
dated Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. l. 1T
Is impossible at this hour to state def
nitely what the action of the conven-
ton wild be. either with respect to
platform or the selection of candidates.
The sentiment with respect to the tick
ct, as gathered from conversation with
delegates, is that Buckner is practi-
caily settled upon for second place. and
that there is a wide diversity of opin-
ion as TO who should be named for
first" IT would be marvelously poor

forth such an utterance The news

better than the newspaper work of

AS oft 1 had walked before.

And with tears my eyes were dim;
But L knew l should lose the burden

To the fields all shorn and bare,
l went with step that faltered,
And a face that told Of care.

With its simmer of sun and dew;
But gracious look of the Master
Would the strength of morn renew
While yet the courage wavered.
And the sky before me blurred,

Saying a tender word,
And [ turned 10 see the brightness
OF heaven upon the road,
And suddenly lost the pressure
OF the weary, crushing load
Nothing that hour was altered,
| had still the weight of care;
But l bore it now with giadness
Which comes OF answered prayer.
Not a grief the soul can fetter,
Nor cloud his vison, when
The dear Lord gives the spirit
To breathe to His will Amen.

IF THE MINIS WE'RE THROWN
OPEN.

In his speech Saturday to the delega-
tons from Pennsylvania, Major McKin-
ley said: THE minis, if they were
thrown wide open to the coinage of every
character of metal and were multiplied
a hundred fold in capacity, would
neither furnish the workingman job,
restore his exhausted savings or give
him credit Nothing, my fellow citizens,
will accomplish that but woodwork at
fair wages, and that will only come
through confidence restored by a wise
financial and industrial policy"
That may be his honest opinion, but
it is an erroneous one. The. throwing
open of the minis to silver would con-
vert all our silver into money The
minis being open there would be no in
ducement to hoard money. because the
output Of the mines would always be
carried to the minis, thus constantly
increasing the amount of money. There
being no inducement to hoard money
those having it would use it to supply
their wants, which would constantly in
crease. The supplying of these wants
would create work. When the laboring
man has work he has credit; and credit
is confidence.
1t also enables him to restore his ex-
hausted savings. The worl1ingmen of
the west readily see all this and it is
surprising that those of the east do
not. That such false economic doctrine
as Mckinley talked to the Pennsyl-
vanians should have been cheered by
them is remarkable.
