THE LEADERS.
A Comparison of Their Posi-
 tions Before the People.
How The Prospeetor Regards
 uhe Two Caudidates.

The two central fgures inthe United States today are William J. Bryan and William Mckinley. The one repre- senting the great body of the people in bic championing of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio Of l6 to l, on an equality with gold, ss money of redemption in this country, believing that the American people are fully competent to es,ab. fish and maintain their own ffnancla. system Independent Of any foreign power. The other represents the classes, the monied nabobs, who have placed him upon a platform, subserv- tent to the wishes and dictetion et foreign countries aniwhich recognizes the evils of the single gold standard, and pledges to rid the country of the incubus as soon ss foriegp powers will agree ts allow them ,o co so.
 The American people bavehad warn ipgs without number against foreign influence, and fiom the reading ot the St. Louis platform an idea can be gained of the hold il is getting in this country. In his farewell address Washington warned the people of this country of which he is called the father, ".o Leware of foreign infiu- ence," prouounciLg z it a most insidious f,e 10 our institutions, aud to our | liberties.
 Itis | recognized fact that it. tiniancisl system is the very founda iien of . government. The English have iong since had gold as ,hei' ground work of government and it has ever been their obi sct an chief aim to fssten that system upon us, know ing full we'll :batif that could b done we would be helpless and that the great masses of our people would be reduced to sbject poverty and ser vitude, and in order 10 accomplish pur- thier pose they have systematically gos control ot our great banks and plac- cd in charge tools of their own cboos- ing N no have been told in their de- man Is oa the government te go ou' the banking business and to turn our financial affairs over 10 them. Even the chief executive has been won to their way of thinking and now pleads Tor "sound money, which simply
 means gold as the unit of value and
 :he only money of redemption.
 | William Mckinley if elected will continne our financial system as Il
 nov ir, with its grinding effect upor
 labor, and the cen,rslizing of the
 money ef the nation in the vaults O
 the great banks of the east.
 | William J. Bryan, if elected, will, by
 the as istance Of congress, throw opes
 our hints to the free and uniimite- coinage of both xpld and silver, thu
 reversing our monetary system and in
 sugursting an era of prosperity whiei

 than twenty years. There can be n'

The Growing Guest Whom Uncle Billy
Found 1t So Difficult to Please.
chicago Times Herald.
For forty years has Uncle Billy Fox
kept tavern in the little town Of La Porte,
pretentiously styled La Porte City, Ia,
Ind in all that time he had but one occa-
sion to turn a guest from his doors.
The single bus in the town drew up at
the little hotel one cold winter evening,
and half a dozen, passengers alighted.
one of them, commercial traveller of
sort seldom met nowadays pushed
through the door first, marched up to
the desk and remarked: = :. = -
Il want the best room in the house-the
best room, do you understand?"
Uncle Billy, from behind.-the register,
said he understood. 81
"And," the traveller added, IT want a
fire in the room at 10 o'clock, too"
II thought to myself, said the white
haired boniface. telling the story recent
ly, that would please that fellow. I've
learned that 1t doesn't do q man any good
to get angry at him when he ia harsh or
out of temper. Just make him comforta-
BILE and cozy, and the chances are he will
thaw out and prove to be a good man at
heart after all. So / picked out the best
room In the house and had q nice wood
fire built in it. At 10 O'Clock ! took my

he will pay full price for blade that
exactly suits him. His test is a severe
one. Laying the machete fiat on the
ground he stands on one end and bends
the blade until the handle almost
touches the point-requiring precisely
the same degree of fexibility as made
the old Damascus swords so famous. If
the steel survives this treatment and
gives out the proper note when struck
sharply, hardly anything he has is too
precious to secure 1T. Constant filing
keeps the blade in a. raZor-like condition
even through the hard usage 1t has to
undergo, and if he be building hut he
will cut the pc I'm thatch and the yaguas
to cover the walls, fell and trim the logs
for the frame work, and even hew out
the palm boards, all with the same blade;
while the yams which are dug up with
the point are often cut into eatable por-
tions with the edge.
The ease with which one of these sturdy
fellows swings his machete all day under
the scorching sun in the canefield or the
forest, would make an inexperienced on
locker think of it a simple matter, and 1t
Is not until he has attacked a slender
sapling with terrific force only to find
the blade turn as it strikes and make the
slightest of cuts that he realizes the
amount of skill and "knack' necessary
to bring out all it's virtues. For the ex-
pert employs comparatively little muscu-
lar strength. He mas his macnete pal
anced exactly right and as sharp as a
file can make 1t, and then, with dexter
Gus swing and drawing motion, buries
the wide blade in the wood, generally at
a sharp angle, allowing the handle to rest
loosely in his palm at the moment of con-
momentum. He can cut away from his
body, toward it, up, down, sideways,
backhanded. against. solid trunk or
through swinging elusive vines-all with
this unerring blow, and no matter how
thick the tangle of growth all about him
catching at his arm and weapon, ne
hardly ever Injuries himself.
On holidays out comes the extra blade,
the media cinta, longer, narrower and
lighter than the other; the leather belt
is too prosaic for this favorite knife, so
a gaudy, great silk handkerchief is pass
ed through the sheath slit, itself as dec
orative as a Mexicans stirrup feathers,
and in this festal attire the gallant struts
forth prepared to cut a maya blossom
for his sweetheart or split a SUCCESSFUL
rivals head If his jealousy be goaded too
far. The children measure their height
by the length of the blade, and when the
ambitious youngster can strap on his
fathers machete and walk on the ground
he feels himself man indeed
With such lifelong course of train
ing it Is small wonder that the Cuban
should have distinguished himself and
hts machete when 1t became his chief de-
Tense against his oppressor.

Well says he, 1T amt high enough.
I'm used to sleeping at the Palmer house

Yes | says, have room with
higher ceilings, but this is the only one

"'But this one won't do says he.
"'Won't do, eh?' says I.
No. he says. I've got to have higher
ceilings

picked up his grip and came down stairs
after me. We stopped in the Office until
I could send the old lady who came In on

says 1, come on and the fellow followed
me up to the street door.

"'Oh, that's all right says I; just

street. where stopped. There the fellow
says to me again. he says:
"'What do you mean by this?'

there's ceiling that God made, and
hope that will be high enough for YOU

bravely, how much are you going to

to already?'

again, I won't charge you anything

he finally inquired.
"'Oh.' says I, 'there'll be train along
pretty soon and you can go on where
they've got high ceilings"
