A Business Mans Criticism.

DuSlueSS wan kTlLlClSIu.
Long says times were more prosper
Gus from 1880 to 1890 than ever known
before. / haven't looked the matter
up to know whether or no that this
be true but let us admit that it is
true. Don't you know and don't Mr..
Long know liz fact he does know
that the cause of prosperity was the
passage of the Bland-AllisOn act in
1878, that caused the coinage of 2.OOC,-
900 silver dollars per month, and fu--
thermore made it legal tender in the
payment Of all debts, then causing a
period of the most prosperous times,
as stated by Mr.. Long, that the cOun-
try ever saw. But do you know that
the Republican party opposed this
bill and Republican president vetoed
it? But thanks be to God, there were
enough western Democrats, Populists
and free silver Republicans, who are
with US today, to pass this bill over
the veto of not only Republican pres
ident, but the Republican party as
well. Again, he states that there has
been more silver coined since silver
was demOnetized than ever before.
We also admit this. But why is this
true? Only from the fact that the
Republican congressman and senators
who were IN the majority at the time
that silver was demonetized in 1873,
when they stopped the coinage alto
gether, Except in subsidiary coin.)
But still it kept its parity with gold,
so that In 1874 this same Republican
party passed a bill taking away its
legal tender qualities in sums exceed
ing $500, and the result. was, these
fellows, or enough of them, were left
at home and Others sent in their places
that did make it possible to again
commence the coinage Of the silver
dollar The people had got onto the
deal and a number of the Republican
leaders became alarmed and declared
in public, over their own signatures,
that they did not know at the time
that they voted to demOnetize and
stop the coinage of the silver dollar.
This may be true, but a sufficient
number Of the producing masses of
the Republican party didn't believe
it and voted with the Free SilveriteS
and put enough of them into office 50
that the passage of the Bland act be
came possible even over the veto of
a Republican president.
Again. Mr.. Gold Standard, man
where do you stand today on the
recommendation to congress of Grover
Cleavland concerning the sale of the
last 100 million of bonds wherein he
urged that they be made payable in
gold instead of coin, as by so doing
they would bring 16 million dollars
more. We do not find any fault in
your opposition to this at the time if
you had acted consistent since. But
then you voted to give the bond
holder Is millions rather than make
the bonds payable in gold but now you
are using every effort, all OF your
energy, to continue 10 force a policy
that will pay them in gold, thus TAX
ing this 1G millions from the pockets
Of the working people Of this country
and transferring it to the bond holder.
Bro. Long how much do you get of
this for your services in the interests
Of this syndicate?

think Missouri will 90 over 100000
majority for silver. There are 100
prominent Republicans in Carthage

Fire at South Haven.

South Haven was visited by a very
destructive fire Tuesday morning.
A. Crafts implement house, Sam
Nuts shoe store and residence, H.
EmStreet's feed mill, George VanFos-
sens residence were burned to the
ground.
The fire started at about o'clock,
in the building owned and occupied
by A. Graf. 1t is supposed to have
Caught from defective flue. 1t ex-
tended to the above named buildings.
The rest of the buildings were saved
by the heroic effort of the citizens,
who, when they discovered the fire,
formed themselves into bucket brig
AIDES and after very hard work sue
ceeded in stopping the fire after the
above damage had been done.
The widest excitement prevailed
during the fire and but for a few
cool headed citizens the fire would
have consumed everything in its
reach.
The New Era building was on fire
several times.
A. Graft is the largest loser. He
says that he had something near
$1,000 in notes in the building, besides
several thousand dollars book &C
count. His total loss is estimated by
him at about $4,000. They did not
save even ledger out of his building.
Sam Nuts shoe store and residence
were the next consumed. He got his
books, some stock and some of his
household goods out.

Two little boys and a dog were listlessly
Eauntering OH the Sheridan drive the other
day. Suddenly one of them shouted ex-
citeGly as he pointed to the wcll-groomed
lawn of a nearby house: Look at that
rabbit
'.Sic Turk at him." the other boy an
swered.
Turk, who bad been nosing around the
clumps of alder and willow bushes at each
side Of the road, was called and came
bounding to the boys.
''Sic him, Turk! Sic bim!''
The dog made two or three leaps in the
air. caught sight of the rabhit,t who was
still sitting on his launches on the lawn
aud made bee line for poor bunny.
He's got him!'' the lads shouted in glee
But Just at that moment Turk dropped his
tail between his legs, glanced up at the
boys in a reproachful way and sneaked off
in the bushes.
When the lads came closer to the lawn
they discovered the cause for Turks alb

Turk and pet him and make him feel better,
but Turk would not come.

When asked as To the fight for the seat

that there are a large number of candi-

The mention OF the name of eX- President
Harrison for a Cabinet position, in the
opinion OF Gov. Burbank, is rather pre-
mature. While he lives at the other end
OF the State and therefore knows very lit

Harrison. for several reasons, will not be
