For some time the leading popo-
crat papers have been publishing an
article purporting to have been taken
from the London Financial News.
1t was simply deliberate forgery
planned to bolster up the cause of
free coinage and first appeared in
the Omaha World Herald of which
William J. Bryan was one of its edi-
tors. Here is the proof:
The Financial News London, August 10.
| We have received numerous let
ters from American correspondents
containing what purports to be edi-
toriais from the Financial News and
which have been reprinted i'll vari-
ious Western papers as campaign
literature. One Omaha paper
prints an article stating it is 'sfrom
the London Financial News of
March TO-" No such article was
ever printed by u and its whole
tenor is directly opposite to the
view we have taken of the effect of
;; free silver in the United States. So
far from advocating free silver
coinage we have persistently point
ed out that it spells reputation and
the withdrawal of all European cap
ital.
The article appears in full in this
weeks News and as it did not come
out until after the forgery had been
shown up the editor must have
known it was false when he inserted

A WINNING TICKET.
THE REPUBLICANS MEET TO NAME
A COUNTY TICKET.

The Republican county conven-
ton was called to order by D. E. Rior-
dan, chairman of the county COM
inittee, who read the call for the
convention.
w. B. Raymond OF MiDocqua was
elected chairman and L. j. Cook OF
Eagle River secretary.
On motion the convention took a
recess until Is minutes to five.
On reasscmbling the committee on
credentials reported the following
persons entitled to seats in the CON
vention as delegates. Arbor Vitae:
w. H. Bissell, B. F. Hammond, A. B.
Rosenberg, Chris Chidson, Peter
Caldwell: Eagle River: l.. J. Cook,

ert Stewart, Daniel Graham. AL. Gro
ker, w. D. Neville, N. NJ. EmmoDs,
Samuel Walters: Minocqua: w. B.
Raymond, J. \. Mercer. +. L. Schill-
ing, Geo, Reed. G.. Ell. Hooker, Thos
McGregor
On motion the chairman appointed
the following tellers, Samuel Walters
J. A. Mercer and Geo. Reed.
The convention then proceeded to
name a county ticket as follows.
Sheriff w. A. Bradford, OF Eagle
River.
Treasurer Ole Swenson, of Wood
ruff.
Clerk.-Joseph Elliott, of Arbor
Vitae,
Clerk of Court. -John Radcliffe, Of
Eagle River.
Register of deeds.-L. E. McGill, of
Eagle River.
District Attorney.-G. +. Sanborn,
of Eagle River.
Surveyor.-M. E. Monsell, of Min
ocqua.
Superintendent of Schools.-H. C.
Todd, of Eagle River.
Coroner Samuel Walters, OF Eagle
River.
Each person ON the ticket was
named by acclim alton except school
superintendent. When this office was
reached an effort was made to nomin-
ate tho present superintendent, Alex.
Higgins. d democrat. but IL vote was
called for and he only received seven
votes to thirteen for the Rev. III. c..
Todd.
HI. Finger who was a candidate for
treasurer and job Sutton who was a
candidate for sheriff before the con-
vention withdrew their names and
seconded the nomination of their rivals.
The actions OF these two in the inter-
ests of harmony and of Mr.. Finger in
particular, was warmly appreciated
by the convention and they were
applauded to the echo,
This action OF Mr.. Finger, who had
fair prospect, to say the least, of
winning, has completely healed the
fractional fight in the republican party
of the county and has made him one of
i the strongest men in the party.
1 The ticket as made up is II good one
and is as strong as could have been
made. With it the party can go be-
fore the people with the confidence
and with the assurance that every
man on it is well qualified to hold the
position to which he is named.
With this ticket and solid front
the republican party is sure of success
in this county, this fall, as well as in
the state and nation.
We will have something to say about
the personal OF the candidates later
on.

to show how sixteen to one free coin

From Lumber Trade Journal,
August 1896: s'The Journal has
no politics. It never had any poll
tics, and if we thought that this
coming campaign was one of politics
we should take no part in it. The
present campaign seems to be based
on an argument that everybody IN
the east is gold bug and that every.
body south and west is hard up
and that in consequence thereof
everybody east is happy and every.
body south is unhappy, and that the
way to even things up is to have
free silver, which, some way 0,

e. Trade something for it;
/ elf we are to beg it, we might
LUST as well do the best we can.
Wherefore, a dollar BASED on gold
standard is better than a ] 6 to l sill
yer dollar, which, to-day, is worth
about 50 cents intrinsically."
eff we are to steal it we want the
best. A thief who would steal a
silver dollar in preference to gold
dollar would be acquitted, on the
ground that he was insane.
eff we borrow it we want that
kind of money which will 60 farth-
est, for so we can get along with
a smaller loan. Therefore, a gold
dollar is better than a Is to silver
dollar.
eff we are to secure it bv gift,
certainly we should not depreciate
that which we are about to receive.
''This brings us to (e) which is
the way most money is obtained.
A pertinent question for each of us
to ask at this time is, what have /
got to trade for money which l
want? 1t may be labor, it may be
a horse or COW, it may be lumber or
shingles, it may be saw mill. At
the present time we can trade any
of the above, and get gold dollar
for every dollars worth of value as
may be agreed upon between buyer
between buyer and seller. We can
get dollar which is worth dollar
anywhere and everywhere.
:" Now your labor or horse or
COW or lumber or machinery will be
worth just as much, or nearly as
much, next year as it is this; but if
we have free coinage at 16 to 1,
will the dollar which you get in
trade be worth as much as the
dollar you get now? What will
that be worth? Can you tell? It
may be worth So cents OF more or
less; one day this, one day
that, but can any one tell! These
are all pertinent questions, and,
when carefully considered, must
guide us in voting at the next ele-
ton in November, and do not lose
sight Of the fact that, If all the
silver in the world is coined as
money, you cannot get cent of
it except by a, b, c, d, or above
referred to. -

Government Ownership of silver Mines.
Why is it that both the populists and
the democrats failed to put q plank in
their platforms demanding that the
government own and control the silve"
mines of this country. SO that the profit
which would be made from free coin
age would go to our government. and
thus indirectly be q benefit to the whole
people? Why should this profit go to q
few individuals who own the silver
mines and who are already enormously
rich? Is not this building up one of the
most dangerous trusts that the country
has even seen? Think Of 4 few men hav-
ing under their control all the silver of
this country and the government COM
PEELED to turn it into dollars as fast as
they produce it! Suppose that these sill
yer men combine to shut down work on
their mines when they want to produce
a stringency in the money market, then
open them again when they want to
make money abundant. Would not this
put the whole business of the country at
their mercy?

silver Patriots In 1873.


standard pretend that the white metal
is patriotic" while gold is disloyal.'
One-half of the arguments for 50-cent
dollars consists of appeals to patriotism
for votes in favor of the American
money" and against the TRAITOR gold"
of England.
In the happy days before 1873 the
bullion value of the metal in silver
dollar was worth on an average about
$1.O3. Did the noble-hearted, patriotic
silver miners rush to pour their prod
try would have plenty of money? Not
by q great deal. They were the kind,
of patriots who shipped their silver OIL,
to France as fast as they could send it
in order to get little higher price for
it. They knew at that time metallic
money was scarce in the United States,
but they didn't care for that. They
wanted the highest price for silver bull
lion, and they therefore sold it in the
dearest market. Noobdy blames them
for doing so. But now that the price
abroad has gone down, and they want
Uncle Sam to give them more for their
bullion than it's market value, they talk
of patriotism" and pretend that they
wish to get their silver made into dol
lars in order to benefit the country.
Nice kind of patriots they are-men who
will send their silver away when it is
badly needed and try to unload it ON
the government when it is cheap and
plentiful!
NOT BIMETALLISTS.
True Coinage Men Are Silver M0nomet-
allists.
Senator Teller calls himself q BIZ
metallist. He. defines bimetallism as
1.-THE equal Treatment of both gold and
silver at the mints.''
Senator Teller is silver monometal-
list. and so are all advocates of free
coinage at sixteen to one. They do not
ask equal" but unequal treatment of
gold and silver at the mints. All that
! the mint does with gold is to stamp
upon it the certificate Of its value. 1t
stamps 25 $40 grains of gold of stand-
ard fineness as a dollar. The metal Is
worth Il dollar before it is stamped.
1t is worth dollar if melted in the
pot. 1t will bring u dollars worth. OF
value in either shape anywhere in the
world
What the free coinage mon ask Is
| that the government shall stamp 412H,
grains of silver of standard fineness aA
dollar under the arbitrary and OBJ,
solete ratio of sixteen to one. But this
silver is worth only So cents. 1t will
sell for only SO cents if melted. 1t will
not pass for a dollar in the markets OF
the world, except to be sent back here.
where it's legal tender quality and the
| policy of the government TO make it
exchangeable for gold keep it current
at its face value.
In asking this unfair ard dishonest
advantage for silver Mr.. Teller there
| fore demands unequal treatment for the
| metals. And rs free coinage Of either
metal at false ratio has everywhere
and always driven the more valuable
coin out of circulation, it would iney:-
tably precipitate this country to sill
yer basis, making silver the only money
Of redemption and silver or silver notes
the only money in use.
The free coinage men are therefore
not bimetallists, but silver monomct-
allists. They are coEtractionists. They
would make money scarcer instead of
more plentiful, poorer instead Of beg
ter,

SOME POOR DEBTORS.

Great Corporations Which Free Silver
Would Enable 10 Cheat Their creditors.
The free-silver agitators claim to be
working in the interest of the debtors
of the country, which they represent as
being q large number of poor persons.
The creditor class is denounced as o
small number of greedy bankers and
monopolists, banded together for the
purpose of depressing the masses Of the,
people. Reputation of debts is openly
advocated by the silverite and populist
press on the ground that the men who
borrow money are more numerous than
the men who lend. The belief that in
some way free coinage will benefit poor
debtors by injuring rich creditors is at
the bottom of nine-tenths of all the de-
mands for cheap money.
The falsity of assertions that q scheme
to pay debts in 5O-cent dollars would
help the poor and hurt only the rich,
can be easily seen by looking at few
Of the prominent debtors of the country.
Among the great corporations which
would be able to pay off their bonded
indebtedness in dollars worth so cents
are the following:
Bonded in
debtedness.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. .$102. 0O0, 900,
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.. 62.000, 900
Chicago, Rock Island G. Pacific. 10000
Delaware, Lackawanna & West'n As, 900
Lake Shore & Michigan Central. $4,000 600
New York Central ............. GO, 900!
New York, New Haven & Hartf'd 10000
Northern Pacific ......... AZ. 600
Central Railroad Of New jersey. 10, 600, 900
Chicago & Northwestern. ........ $4,000. 600
Here are ten poor debtors whose obli-
cations of $545,ooo,0oo are payable In
coin-not gold. Under free coinage
law these corporations could pay the
thousands of persons who hold their
bonds, many of them held by savings
banks, insurance companies, people Of
small means. etc., in $272 100000
worth Of silver. And this is called a re-
form in the interest of the masses.

In an action for the value Of hounds
killed by train the opinion of the court
says; 1.-THE plaintiffs version is that
the train was going west, toward Chat
tanooga, and the dogs were going east,
toward Knoxville. They were all on the
same track and going in opposite direc.
tions, and under these facts head end
collision was unavoidable " And again!
ut is insisted by the plaintiff that
while the whistle was sounded II was
Intended for the whole pack and not for
the three dogs that were run over. This,
however, seems to be mere opinion OF
the witness, as he was quarter of
mile away from the place when the
whistle was sounded. In addition it
would, we think, be requiring too great
diligence for the engineer to whistle for
each particular dog, and more especial
ly as he had no means of informing
each dog that any special whistle was
sounded for him. Upon these facts it
appears that the receivers were running
their train upon their own track, on
regular schedule time, and had no other
track at that place upon which they
could run. On the other hand, the plain
tiff's dogs were running on the rail
roads track instead of the fox's track,
which simply crossed the railroad" On
these facts it is held that "the dogs
were guilty of the grossest contributory
negligence and were only entitled tc
such consideration as trespassers have
under the law. Case and Comment.

M. Grosley, who visited London in
1906, notes that the old pious salutation
of any one who sneezed, which still pre-
vailed i'll his own country, had been
abolished in England by the use of snuff.
He was given to understand that to sa-
lutte snuff taker in these circumstances
was like complimenting him on the col.
or of the hair of his wig. This color. by
the way, he announces in another place,
is usually brown, being chosen as least
affected by the mud and dirt of the
streets. This ingenious explanation, like
his statement that Pope was not buried
in Westminster abbey because he was Il
Catholic, and that Queen Anne in st.
Paul's churchyard wears a hoop, seems
to suggest that some of his obliging in
formants must occasionally, in eight
zenith century parlanoe, have treated M.
Grosley to "bite. - But, in saying
that his chapter of clubs is disappoint-
ing, it must not be forgotten that he
visited one very remarkable specimen Of
this all popular Georgian institution
the society of robin Hoodians," at
whose freethinking discussions Fielding
pokes rather cumbrous fun in the Covent
Garden Journal - Longman's Maya.

There have been many estimable peo-
pie whose stumbling block has been or
biography, and it has sometimes proved
an almost insurmountable obstacle.
There was once in eastern Tennessee
judge well versed in the law, but en-
tirely self educated, who had this same
obstacle of photography to contend with
all his days. In early life he had lived
in Knoxville, and for long time insist
ed on spelling the name Noxville.
His friends at last educated him up to
the point of adding the K; SO thorough
ly, in fact, did he learn this lesson that
when, few years afterward. he re-
moved to Nashville, nothing could pre-
vent him from spelling the name Knash-
vile.
After few years residence there the
judge removed again, this time to Muir
freesboro. One day he sat down to write
his first letter from this place. He
scratched his head in perplexity for a
moment, and finally exclaimed:
well, I'll give it up! How in the
world can they spell the name Of this
place with KIP "-Cincinnati Com

Driven Abroad by q Dream.

A we'll known gentleman told me that
the recurrence of dream caused him to
give up his business for year and travel
abroad. The dream was not so horrible,
but it sufficed to make a complete nervous
wreck Of the man to whom Ii came. He
was in the habit of dreaming that ruffian
with drawn knife was chasing him about,
trying to assassinate him. 1t required about
once week, with some variation, and, try
what he would, he was unable to part with
his vision of the assassin.
Finally he arranged his business and left
for Europe, where he spent year. 1t was
toward the end Of his visit that he met an
old German woman to whom he related his
story. She had an old fashioned remedy to
offer. She told him the next time the dream
occurred to seize the would be assassin and
he would never appear again. The Pitts
burger tried this. He saw and caught the
fellows hand, and it seemed to dissolve
while he held it, From that day to this
the vision has never haunted him.-Ex-

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and /
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment Of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.

this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers
