VIZ have received, under
the Congressional frank OF Mr..
John X. Cowen, the gold
speech of Secretary Carlisle,
and we take pleasure in inform
ing Mr.. Cowen that Mr.. Car
isles speech will not "cut any
ice" in Worcester County,
where he is considered the
most dismal failure OF any
Secretary OF the Treasury
since the war. He has listen
ed to the music of the gold
bugs so long that the music
has turned his head, and when
ever Drexel. Morgan & Co +,

MISREPRESENTATION.

HoN. VIM. Jennings Bryan,
the tribune of the people, has
been grossly misrepresented
by the gold-bug press of the
country, it does not stop at
mild misrepresentation but
manufactures lies out of the
whole cloth. What proof,
you ask us, have we for this
assertion Our proof comes
from one of the newspaper
writer's who has been with Mr..
Bryan in his travels since he
was nominated-a man who is
not even in sympathy with him,
but who told us the truth when
we asked him at Ocean City
last week about the accounts
the gold-bug press was print
ing of MIR. Bryan's reception by
the people where he has
spoken. For example he told
us that it was an actual fact
that certain metropolitan news
papers had deliberately plan
ned to misquote Mr.. Bryan's
speech at Madison Square
Garden-and to make him say
things, in their reports, that
he never uttered. These same
newspaper representatives
were almost paralyzed with
astonishment when the Demo
cratic Presidential candidate
produced a manuscript speech
instead OF speaking extempo-
raneously. There their game
was blocked and they were
compelled to print the speech
as it was delivered. Yet they
determined to belittle him and
if possible prejudice the people
against their champion. They
misrepresented the attendance,
the enthusiasm, and every
thing they possibly could.
Most of the reporters who
have been with Mr.. Bryan
have sent en- faithful reports of
his enthusiastic receptions but
these reports have been doc
tored by unprincipled men who
call themselves editors in the
offices where they have been
received and usually the re-
ports are doctored to say
The meeting was a dismal
failure" or "the crowd was
made up of the toughest ele-
ment, etc
No wonder the people are
losing confidence in the honesty
of the daily press when they
can see for themselves such
exhibitions OF dishonesty and
prejudice. No wonder that
their arguments and reports
are having the effect OF dis
gushing the honest voters Of
the land and causing them to
believe in William Jennings
Bryan. No wonder that the
people believe that many of
the daily papers have been
bought up by Mark Hanna,
McKinley'S manager and the
representative of the English
money-Shylocks.

POINTERS TO PROFIT
Very many classes of goods
never before touched such
low prices as have ruled this
past summer. But now we've
started to change a summer
store into an autumn store.
Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of merchandise
must be quickly turned to
cash and into goods again.
We're always willing to lose
money wisely, and it is wise
losing if it hastens this annual
metamorphose of the store.
The daily store news now is
largely made up of notes of
price reductions-of price in
duccments for you to fore
stall wants. August business
was never so great at Wanna
maker's-so great in volume
of goods handled, SO great in
dollars received. 1t is mutu-
ally helpful to drive business.
