Bryan and to the eternal credit Of
the platform upon which he stands
that be is opposed BY the classes OF
which Rockefeller and Armour, Sage
and Huntington are types. The
people already love him for the ene-
mics he has made. They recognize
in him the personification of democ-
raey, and in his campaign the first
frank and manly revolt against piu-
tocracy the nation has seen since its
peril became apparent. 1t Is this
that has stirred them as never were
the masses stirred before in politi-
cal struggle. 1t is this that has
made the east, which had been
depicted to the candidate as the
enemy's country, turn out to do him
such honor as has never been out
done in behalf of any presidential
nominee. 1t is this conviction that
the struggle of November is between
the forces of oppression and the
forces of liberty, that must result in
the triumph of the democratic
ticket, unless the theories at the very
foundation of our national existence
are to be repudiated.

Paste This In Your Hat.

The following is an editorial
from the London Financial News
(goldbug):
"There is a plain moral in the re-
mark that il the United States would
venture to cut herself adrift from
and take outright to silver she
would have all America and ASIA at
her back and the command of the
markets of both countries. The
barrier of gold would be mere fatal
than any barrier of custom house.
The bond of silver would be strong
err than any bond of free trade
There can be no doubt about it that
if the United States were to adopt a
silver basis tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year was
out. Every American would be
protected, not only at home, but In
every other market. Of course, the
United States would suffer to GER
tain extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold, but
the loss of exchange under the head
would be mere drop in the bucket
as compared to the profit to be
reaped from the markets of South
America aud Asia, to say nothing
of Europe. The marvel is that the
United States have not long ago
seized the opportunity. 1t has been
piece of luck that it has never oc-
Cured to the Americans TO scoop us
out of the worlds markets by going
on a silver basis, and it might serve
us right in it, irritated by the con-
temptible apathy of our government
toward the silver problem, the
Americans retaliated by freezing
out gold 1t could be easily done.

Twenty millions of dollars is the
amount of the campaign fund OF the
Republican party. II looks like that
they would almost be able to accom-
plish anything with this large cor

when all their Doodle will do them
no good. The people of the United

government, and that they will show
their independence at the polls in

the money she had saved, word came
that her uncle, the rag picker, had died
suddenly, alone in his garnet.
Cosette hastened to the place, and
finding there none to care for the body
or give it burial, she had it done at her
own cost, expanding in this way near
ly all her little hoard.
When her lover, the baker, heard what
she had done, he was furious at the loss
of her dowry, and refused to marry her.
Her employer also was displeased and
discharged her.
Sadly Cosette found her way again
to the desolate attic, where she wept
bitter tears. But she soon took heart
again, and determined to seek another
situation.
She took a survey of the room, to see
if her uncle had left anything of use,
but there was nothing, save a large,
stuffed cat. of which they had been
very fond.
Cosette reached up and lifted this
carefully down from its dusty shelf. 1t
seemed very heavy. AS she was NOV
ing it part of the hide broke away, and
shower of gold pieces fell to the floor.
Her uncle had been miser, and for
years had secretly hidden his earnings
IN this strange receptacle, where he
knew they would be safe, as no one
would ever think of treasure being con-
cealed there.
Cosette could scarcely believe her
good fortune. When. the gold was
counted there was full thousand
louis dor, equal to about $4,000, and
this made her wholly independent. She
had no longer need of a situation. It
was not long before she married-not
the faithless baker, now, but his en-
ployer. And she found through life
abundant reason to be glad that her de-
votion to her old uncle had been so rich
~ rewarded.

Carried his piety Too Far.

The late Sir Richard Burton was at
one time exploring Afghanistan in the
disguise of Mohammedan holy man.
He played his part to perfection and
was enjoying his success, when one of
the holy men of the village came to him
and advised him to leave'without delay.
"Whatl" exclaimed Burton, in some
alarm: "Do not the people like me?''
"They like you so WELL" replied the
holy man, shat they are discussing the
advisability of keeping you here for life,
SO that they may possess your tomb"
Sir Richard left that particular village
in great hurry, and afterward took
pains to be not quite so pious.

States to admit of the permanency Of
the popularity of any form of roller
skates.
Not so, however, in England, where
the inventor of the skate claims that
"a skate which is independent alike of
the fickleness of the climate and the
more or less intermittent enterprise OF
the skating rink promoter is long-felt
want" The new appliance, which is
really an adaptation of the principle of
the cycle to the old-fashioned roller
skates, is furnished with pneumatic
tires and ball bearings, and twill not be
long in all probability before the slight
cxertion of energy on them over a rea-
sonably smooth and solid road is still
further reduced. by the introduction Of
the principle of geared action.
The skates are held to the soles of the
shoes by the ordinary clamp in use on
Ice skates of the club pattern but have
an ankle support which is keptin posi-
ton by a leather brace lined with lambs
wool and which fits about the calves of
the legs.
1t is claimed that the skates may be
safely used in both up and down grades,
and that with practice speed of ten or
twelve miles may be reached on fairly
good road. Several of the English pa
pers are enthusiastic over the future of
the road skate, pointing out that in its
use every muscle of the legs, back, neck
and arms is brought into play. This Is
true also of saving wood, an exercise
which has never become a national fad.
Anyone who has tried roller skating
can tell you that it is hard work, even
under the most favorable conditions,
and as far removed fromiee skating as
bicyclig is from stair climbing in the
comparative energy employed.
The English road skate is cumber-
some thing. The wheels are about four
inches in diameter. The skate may be
folded up for travelling.
