PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

It did not take any money to iu- crease the democratic majority Tn Ar kansas.-St. Louis Republic.
 The money Mark Hanna wasted in Maine would have endowed two or three orphan asylums.-Philadelphia item.
 If the axel grease and the Hanna fertilizer do not accomplish the desired results, it will not be because they have not eeen supplied in abundance by the Mckinley magnates.-St. Louis Re- public.
 Every trust which has contrib uted to the money that Hanna is said to have pledged for the Belshazzar fund is yiolator of the laws of the United States. Is Mckinley willing to have those laws inforced regardless of the Belshazzar fund?-N. Y World.
 To the popular recognition of this attitude of the leaders of democracy is doubtless Cue the great increase in democratic sentiment in this state From present indications, this year will be one of democratic triumph in the Empire state. The progress of Bryan through New York is proof of this. Everywhere received with enthusiasm. everywhere assured of popular support, he was eheered because he was recog- nized by the great mass of the people as their friend.-Tammany Times.
The Forrest City times., 1896-10-09

If Bryan is elected, Carlisle would not dare to carry out the policy of the gold owners, as outlined in his letter. for it would promptly lead to his Impeach- ment. On the other hand, should Me- kinley be elected, the people may as well prepare for the tremendous squeeze which will depreciate the silver dollars so that, like the greenbacks and treas nry notes, they can be presented to the treasury for enforced redemption in gold.
 This would mean that all The silver money and all the paper currency of the country would rest on the slender basis of our available stock of gold. The in- eyitable result would be to double the demand for gold, and thus make that metal twice as valuable as it is now giving us 400 instead of the 200-cent dollar we now have.
 The most conservative of New York bankers admit that our availa ble stock of gold, for redemption purposes, is not more than $350,000,000 at the outside. On this slender basis would have to rest our whole supply of silver dollars, .silser certificates, greenhacks, treasury notes, amounting to something like $ 400 0OG,- poo. One of the first results of McEin- ley's election would be the 'deprecia- ton" of silver dollars and silver certif- eates. That Is to say, the associated banks of that city would decl De t, re ,eiye then in exchange for greenba,.ks and treasury notes at their face va'ue. Follow ing this, the silver dollars and sil- yer cetiiicates would be presented at the subtreasury for redemption in gold. The sequel would be the issue of more bonds until the total available supply of currency had been brought down to the point represented by the sma.i fun, of redemption money.
 Such tremendous contraction of the currency as this, with the constantly increasing value of money, would pro sucs such ruin and disaster as have

H=---------- BRYAN PROGRESSING.
Success of the Representative of she
 Working People.


 Working People.
 William Jennings Bryan is making splendid progress in his leadership of tine forces of democracy to the victory that awaits them at the end of this cam paign. He is convincing by force of clear, logical argument. and is winning votes by plain, simple statement of the truth. His speech delivered on Labor day to an enormous audience of voters was striking indication of the temper of the time. No man is better fitted to speak to the laboring man on the sub- jects closest to his heart than this plain man of the people. Mir. Bryan is the friend of labor; and the men who make the strength of the great labor organi- zations of to-day recognize his friend ship and respond to his efforts in their behalf.
 The success of Bryan means the suc- cess of labor. His interests arc the in- terests of the great working masses of the country. Their votes will elect the next president, and their votes are won for Bryan wherever he has opportunity to face and speak to them.
 His efforts are meeting everywhere with success. He is educating the peo- pie. He clears away from the discus sion of the financial question all the misunderstanding so cunningly created by the plutocrats. He tells the truth

Isn't It Strange

That so many things come apart that will not go together again.
 That it is often so hard to get the cat back into the bag again after having once been let out.
 That victims of radical self-esteem rarely know themselves of the exist ence of such disease.

 That great amount of both happi. ness and misery may be wrought out from very little things, and small amount of both misery and happiness from very great things, counting the adjeetives by measure after the man. ner of men. Good Housekeeping.

CARLISLE'S COURSE.
Becomes the Mouthpiece of the Money
 Power.

Power.
 IL n fortunate for the people of this country that the money power. speak Ing through Mir. Carlisle, has announced the step that it proposes to take as soon as Mckinley is elected. This announce ment, as our readers know, is to the effect that if Mckinley is elected, the money power will demand the redemp- tion of the silver dollar and the silver certificates in gold, and that it vii! be able to enforce its demand.
 It is fortunate that the announcement has been made at this time. for now the people of the country will be able to know precisely what they are voting for and what they are voting against There is not a voter in the land SD ir- norant that he can fail to understand the nature of Mir. Carlisle's announce ment.
 Heretofore. the demand of the moucy power has been modestly confined to the redemption of the greenbacks and tress- ury notes in gold. It now declares, through MT. Carlisle, that all forms of our circulating medium except gold gre redeemable in gold.
 In the even of McKinley's election. therefore, we confidently look forward to some very interesting experiences. Our people may imagine that they have had some very interesting experiences since 1893, when the country was placed at the mercy of the money power; but the experiences they have had during the past three years will not he remem- bered by the side of those they will rass through when the money power begins to contract the currency by presenting silver dollars and silver certificates for redemption in gold

about silver so clearly and plainly that any man of common sense can under stand it.
 This is clearly campaign of money against manhood, of plutocracy against the people. In spite of all the efforts of the millionaires, in spite of all the money so lavishly scattered by the Hanna syndicate, the party of the peo- pie is marching steadily on to success. Never in the history of this republic have the people had so splendid leader as William Jennings Bryan.- .-Tammany Times

never been experienced in civilized country in time of peace. That is what CariIsle's announcement means, and as the policy outlined by him can only be carried out in the event of McKinlcy's election, the people of the country have an opportunity of choosing Bryan and prosperity, or Mckinley and rnin.-,At- ianta Constitution.

Tried to Steal Nights Lodging.

One evening last week a man
tried to get into Robert Smiths
house at White River Junction, then
into 9. w. Smiths, but was fright
ened away from both places. He
then went to the rear window of DR..
Tyrrelrs residence. "A woman in
the hocse saw him and called to the
doctor. The intruder left the win
dow and tried the front door, which
was unlocked. So he went in, coolly
proceeded up stairs and went to bed,
where he remained in spite of DR..
TyrrelPs urgent request to take him
self elsewhere. However, he was
gently removed, and is now SOLDERING
up at the workhouse.
Last Sunday slight disturbance
occurred at the Central House, White
River Junction, which was squelchcd
by Officer Peck. The parties have
since Disappeared.

two weeks was cured. He is natur-

Mr.. Mack Talks Hens,

very enthusiastic over the poultry
show recently held there. "The
show was great success in every
PARTICULAR said he, "as in deserved
to be under the new and clean man
agement. The old association is non
est, which is a good thing for the
poultry industry IN New England.
There were about 6ooo birds, 400
pigeons and IS cats. Some of the
cats were marked for sale at $500,
but wouldn't swap my old black
cat for the lot. In the room allotted
to dressed poultry and eggs there
were also bears, deer, coons, opos-
sums, rabbits and hedgehogs. BY
the way, hedgehog seems to be a
great dish in Boston. Mr.. Vaughan
and dined one day at the Wyman
restaurant, managed by John Foster,
and saw William d. Foster of this
town. We we've treated right roy
ally, the bill of fare only lacking one
thing-hedgehogs.
My turkeys won two first prizes.

would have won blue ribbon, also,
if they had not by mistake competed
