the farmers wheat to get dollar, who
are going to be the customers of the
mills that are TO be opened under the
re-enacted Mckinley law.
The majority for Atkinson, demo.
cratic nominee for governor of Georgia,
was only 1900. How does that size
up by the republican majority in Mainei
His plurality TWO years ago was q, ,161.
No matter whether you are for him
or against him, it cannot be denied
that Elr. Bryan possesses a wonderful
faculty for arousing enthusiasm among
the masses. Nothing like it has ever
been known in the history of the coun-
try.
What sorry spectacle Mark Hanna
cuts posing as the friend of labor.
What did he ever do to advance the
cause of the wage Garner? When was
he ever solicitous for the welfare OF
the toiler until he became the manager
of Major McKinley's campaign?
A telegraph dispatch from Siletz
Indian Agency says the "Siletz Indians
are almost solid for Mckinley and
sound money" According to the
theory of the gold standard press and
speakers, they are then among the
very most enlightened and Intelligent
citizens of the country.
No one has the heart to blame the
railroad man. or other laborer, who, to
keep wife and babies from going hun.
CRY. smothers his protest and permits
his boss TO write his name on the roll
OF Mckinley club; but what shall we
say of the "friends of labor" who hope
to carry the election by such course.
If the contention OF Sherman, Coch-
ran and Lodge is true, that the free
coinage of silver will double the price
of farm products, will it not then be
easier for the farmer to pay his taxes
than it is at the present time? If it
now requires 100 bushels of wheat to
pay his taxes, under free coinage it will
require only so bushels.
The republicans held an election in
Maine and Connecticut a short time
since, and the democrats have just
held an election in Florida and
Georgia. The results in the latter
states were fully as satisfactory to the
democrats as were the Maine and Con-
necticut elections to the republicans.
Which way do the straws show that
the wind is blowing now?
Not less than $4,000 men who intend
t, vote for Bryan are marching in Nc
Kinley parades in the city of Chicago.
If every part of the country is likewise
affected by intimidating coercion.
there will be million votes for Bryan
that are now counted sure for McKin-
ley. 1t will make a showing on eIec-
tion day which our republican friends
are not expecting.-Chicago Express.
1t will be useless to open the mills of
the country unless their owners can
find a market for the product. Where
is the market. to como from unless the
producers'of the country, the farmers,
the miners and the lumber men, are
made more prosperous, SO that they
can receive just compensation for their
labor? 1t seems to us that the proper
place to begin opening in order to Gre
ate prosperity is to open the farms, the
mines and the forests, then the manu-
facturers can find market for what
they produce.
So long as there is no other provis-
ion for raising the revenues for paying
the expenses of this government than
by tariff. and internal revenue taxes,
there is no dispuGing the fact that the
Tariffs must. be Increased, and if they
Ire raised there is no question they
will be increased so as to afford Incl.
lental protection to such industries as
ire most deserving of favors, and at
,he same time levied so as to produce
,he most revenue with the least bur-
len to the people. Since the imports
If wool are very heavy, that commodity
s more likely to be made bear the
burden of taxation than any other,

Hardly any writer who has been
making estimates on the result of the
election has dared put Ohio
n the column of doubtful States. 1.

mt commercial traveller, native Of |
Ianton, was in Walla Walls the OF. er |
ay, who places Ohio in the list of sure |
tates for Bryan. To a Statesman re-
orter he said Canton, McKi ley's |
ome, will give Bryan 1000 majority
nd Ohio is sure to roll up majority
f 1000 for Lin. A brother of this
