Of the States. For instance, in Ohio
Bryan received AIS, 00e votes, which is
10000 more than Cleveland received
in the State four years ago, though
enc Of its electoral votes vas cast for
him Bryan's vote also exceeds by
l7e, 600 the vote which Campbell re-
ceived for Governor OF the State.
Bryan received 1000 more votes than
any Republican can didate yer re-
eeived in the State Of Ohio prior to
+ne last election, yet he did not carry
the State. and probably would not if
he had received 100000 more votes
than he did.

THAT WAV e.

The wave OF prosperity which the
mutocratic press says is sweeping
over the land is not yet visible to the
naked eye.
r. G. Dun, in his trade review for
the week ending November Goth, says
Failures for the week 344 in the
United States against 800 last year"
This is not the kind of business
prosperity the United States enjoyed
when it vas doing business with cash
instead of confidence. Three hundred
and forty-four business failuaes a
week is at the ate of 1890 business
failures a year. Compare this record
with the year 1865, when the business
OF the county was conducted on
practically a cash basis and when the
failures for the whole year were only
$50, and gee if an inf .tion of cash
is not much better for the business
interests Of the country than an infa-
ton OF confidence, In 1865 We had
about $50 per capita in circulation
among the people. Now we have
about SIS per capita locked up in the
vaults of the ~bondholding centers and
is Withheld from circulation until some
gilt edged interest bearing bonds are
put up for its use only to be returned

oenters to be again locked |, to await

Letting the Cat Out.

The New York Sun of Friday, July
"a. says:
The price of silver under free coin
age would undoubtedly raise to $1.29
per ounce, but it's value, or purchas-
ing power, measured by commodi-
ties, would not rise. Prices would
rise in the same proportion all
around.
Here is frank confession that un-
der the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver that metal would be worth
$1.29 an ounce. Then where does the
50-cent dollar come in?
Nobody expects, or wants the pur-
chasing power of silver to rise. An
ounce of silver will buy as much to-
day as it would in 1873, before demon
citation. 1t will do the same after
it remonetized. That is all any hon
est man or government can ask.
sits purchasing power would not
rise" says the Sun. That is an ex-
plicit admission, coupled with the
statement that ''prices would rise in
the same proportions all around
that prices. through the demonetiza-
ton OF silver, have been lowered, the
purchasing power of the dollar
doubled. The debtor has to give
twice as much of the things he pro-
duces. The masses have been robbed
by the contraction of the currency.

We hear occasionally man who
has forgotten about 1892 exclaim:
1--WE are already and anxious to get
back to the period of 1892, when this
country was enjoing its highest pros
perity." Let's see about that. Brad
street reported business failures for
1892 to the amount of $4,000, 900.
Carroll D. Wright, U. S. Labor Com
missioner, reported 1898 strikes in 49,
80 and ZIG lock outs. Oh, yes, we are
all anxious to get back to republican
prosperity, of which Homestead was
sample. Mckinley, who went
broke on one-horse grocery store,
knows all about prosperity.

The debt of this government
abroad is to-day as large as il was
twenty-three years ago in the market
values of the products of this country
in which it must be paid, although
we have paid off nominally more
than half the amount of that debt.
1t is this sort of thing which has in
jured the country. This fact accounts
adequately for the condition of
business to-day, for the lowered
prices of real estate even in cities
which have increased steadily in
population, for the falling values of
merchandise, for the poverty of the
of the farmers, which is real and
appalling and is not due alone to the
tariff, because the falling of farm
prices began long before the tariff
was lowered at all.-Syracuse Herald

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be q constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney s. Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution
al cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on

LIKE A TIDAL WAVE.
Surprise at the Rapid Sp read Of Free
Silver Sentiment in the
Eastern States.

Judge r. M. Otter of Hillsboro,
Ohio, a gold standard democrat who
has been striving to stem "the silver
craze" writes to a friend who happens
to have been seized with the craze as
follows July 30:
II never saw such a situation in
politics before. Many waves of senti-
ment have swept over Ohio, but /
have never seen anything like the
present. In the country districts the
silver sentiment is intense. Every
man you see is loaded with argu-
ments. and there is no use trying to
talk with him.
"The silver men have been reading
everything they could get hold of on
their side of the question, until they
can outtalk Harvey. 1t has been a
sort of religion with them, and they
will not listen to nor tolerate oppo-
sition. You can't make any impress
sion on them, any more than you can
argue man out of his religious faith.
The thing has spread so that regard
the result in the state as doubtful,
perhaps with the probability favor
able to Bryan.
AT all events it is by no means
certain that Mckinley can carry the
state. The normal republican ma
jority is about $4,000. That is the safe
natural republican majority. There
are about $4,000 populist votes and
10000 prohibition votes. Bryan will
probably get the $4,000 populist votes
and 10000 prohibition. That is, hi
will get the silver vote of these two
parties.
SIN the cities there will be con
siderable gold democratic vote TO
Mckinley. In the country districts
there will be large silver republi
can vote for Bryan. These ma.
pretty nearly offset each other
though it looks as if Bryan would ge
more republican votes in the country
than he will lose Democrats in tn
cities.
There is hardly anything but sil
yer talked throughout the state, TIL
men around the threshing machines
at lunchtime. the groups around tn
country stores and about the villag'
hotels, republicans and democrats
head to head. are taking about tn
money question. Men who never be
fore could talk together on polite
without punching each others head
are talking the matter over in sym
pathetic spirit"

A prominent money shark in In
dianapolis said recently that if the
free silver policy is adopted he will at
once invest his money in real estate.
He says that values in property will
rise rapidly, and his money will be
better invested than by loaning it.
If the gold standard is adopted he
will continue to use his money in
loans. Can't the fellow that has the
property catch on and see where his
interest lies. Colorado Populist.

One Planned for Outer Diamond shoals
on Cape Hatteras.

on Cape Hatteras.
Bids will be invited by the treasury
department soon after July l for tho
construction of four first class light
ships, provided for in the last sundry
civil bill, one Of which it is intended to
place on outer Diamond Shoal, off Cape
Hatteras, in place Of the proposed light
house that the engineering experts Of
the army have been designing for many
years past. The sum of 100000 is ap-
propriated for this ship.
The location of lght-vessel there
will result not only in a saving of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars to the
government but it is believed will
demonstrate to the satisfaction Of the
engineers that it Is entirely feasible to
anchor hght-vessels on the most stormy
portions of the North Atlantic coast.
This vessel will probably be delivered
to the government within q year, and
next summer will be anchored on Dia-
mond Shoal.
Another new light-vessel will be
placed seven miles south Of Fire Island,
the first signal station to report vessels
coming to New York from the east, and
will cost $4,000.
The third of the new lightships Is to
be located far out in the Pacific to mark
the entrance to San Francisco, and will
be equally as exposed as that of the
Diamond Shoal. The fourth will be for
the New England coast.
