Those who Will vote for Bryan
think they have too much money,
and want to render its purchasing
capacity less. Wage earners and
salaried men who are anxious to
have their wages and salaries re-
duced by being compelled to take
them in SO cent dollars, and to
pay double prices for all they bny,
will vote for Bryan. Those who
want to see the business of this
country go to smash will vote for
Bryan; those who are anxious to
cheat their creditors will vote for
Bryan. Traitors, cranks, and
deadbeats will vote for Bryan.

REV. ". l.. GRANT.

Rev. W. L. Grant of Topeka,
Kan. who was billed to preach
and also to make a political speech
in this city was greeted last Sun
day by large crowd and preached
very interesting and instructive
sermon. Monday evening at the
Mckinley tent a goodly number
of both colored and white people
gathered to hear him discuss the
political issues. He is good
speaker, and made a clear, com,
parison Of the two parties on the
money question; he proved that
there was nothing in this free sill,
yer question, only cheap money,
reputation and tiatism-a dodge,
as he says, to over-shadow the
main issue, which is the upper

WILL THE NEGRO CHANGE HIS
VOTEo

Never since the foundation of
the great democratic party has 1t
been SO completely demoralized
as it is today. The boasted princi-
piles of its Jefferson and its Jack
son are things of the past. The
members of the Chicago conven
ton have decided they can not
win on such principles, and if they
do not renonnce them the party
must fall. The convention re-
fused to listen to the men who are
wise in the council of the party.
They submitted to Tillman, Bryan,
Jones, Altgeld, Weaver, Coxey
and Debs. The cry was let us
take in the populists, socialists
and such people. And it Is also
true that Bryan's managers and
himself are putting forth special
efforts to influence the colored
voters to vote for free silver, re-
pudiation and debts. They have
the control Of few Afro Ameri-
can newspapers, which are trying
to make the colored voters believe
that Tillman, Bryan, Jones and
Altgeld are the lifelong friends
Of the Negro. Only few days
ago Mr.. Bryan refused to tell a
democratic Negro how he stood
on the lynching of the Negro in
the south and the ''Jim Grow
car law. Is such a man fit to be
president How long would he
be in the presidential chair before
there would be waged a war be-
tween capital and labor. We
would ask the colored voters to
look upon the supporters of Mr..
Bryan and see if they can find a
single man who mas been life
long friend Of the Negro race.
Look at the republican heroes,
such as Mckinley, Reed, Tourgee,
Ingersoll, Thurston, our own j.
S. Clarkson, and a host of others
who have had the courage and
manhood to speak in defense of
the Negro race. Let Mr.. Bryan
and EXnagers be not deceived,
the Negro understands the great
Issue before the people, and he
will vote for his own interest and
the interests of his lifelong friend
Major McKinley-as against
those who have always opposed
him.

A,rersd American church Custom.

There is nothing like going abroad
for the news. A writer in the London
Church Review says that it is "a regu-
lar custom" in San Francisco churches
and in other hot parts of America, for
people to "get up and stretch them
selves, and even take a turn outside,
after the fashion of the theater be-
tween the acts The writer thinks
that '.if we English would adopt
some of these sensible ways our
churches might be generally filled
even in spite of the hot weather"

Some people think that if the

This is not so. A rich man
seldom has his property invested
in money. He has large sum in

factories, in help, building and

He would rather have it invested

rather than hoard it up-if there
