WISCONSIN'S RESOURCES

are attracting general attention, and it's
railroads furnish the means to develop
them. The limitless iron ore deposits Of
the Penokee and Gogebic Iron Ranges
provide abundant opportunity Tor the
establishment of Iron Furnaces and gen
eral iron working industries. Hardwood
timber in great quantities attracts manu-
features OF all wood articles, including
Furniture, Woodenware, Slaves, Head
ings, Hoops and Veneering; the Granite
and Lime Stone quarries are attracting
attention, as their quality is nnsurpass-
ed for fine building work and strong
lime. Numerous Clay, Kaolin and Mari
bedy furnish the best material for Tile,
Brick and Pottery.
All OF these material are located along
the line OF the WISCONSIN CEN

WERE MARRIED ANY OLD WAY.

A rather good one has leaked
out concerning ajustice Of the
peace in neighboring town. A
young couple from the country
recently came to town equipped
with the necessary license, to
have the nuptial knot tied, and
were directed to him. He had
mis1aid the ritual by which the
knot is generally tied, but the
groom said that any old thing
would do. fit only could be
made official, SO the justice con-
Guided to go ahead with what he
could remember Of the service.
Mr.. Justice fired the usual num-
Der Of questions at the couple
and they had been satisfactorily
answered, he wound UP with
the following:
''You now stand unequivocally com
mitted to a platform Of the free and UNI
limited coinage of husbandly and wifely
devotion. You are pledged to main-
tain parity between your lives for an
indefinite period Of years, and your sole
efforts should be towards maintaining
that same Sparity and not letting the
value OF one fall below the other. The
crime OF '73 should be constantly before
your eyes, and if you keep the. mints OF
your affection running on full time you
will never make this the crime of '96. II
you disregard my injunction it is 16 to |
that there will be occasion to hire a
lawyer in divorce case, in all probable
ity. If there be any gold bug in this
house who knows Of some reason why
this timetable standard shall not be
adopted by this couple. let him speak
now orforever hold his peace"
Nobody spoke, and the couple went
out just as happy under the new order
OF things as if they had been married III

WV. O'Keefe, the Democratic candl-
date for member of congress Tor this
,l;atrict needs no introduction to many
of our readers. He is known throughout
this district particularly for his loyalty
TO laborers in time of need. He is one OF
the leading attorneys in Northern Wis
.consin, winning that title bv his close
.nnd untiring attention to the probes
sion. He is a fluent speaker and a
deem thinker and would make all able
representative in the halls OF Congress.
He is one who could and would advo-
cate clearly, and convincngy, according
to his convictions, any measure that
anight come before him.. one who would
mot forget his constituents and friends
Immediately after election; one who
would see that residents in his district
received their full ratio Of government
seeds; one who would unwaveringly adj
vocate the ,laborrs cause, and one who
would not by his ignorance OF the parli-
mentary rules loose an opportunity OF
advocating for or against any measure.
Such man is W. w. OKeefe, OF Ash

eress from this district.

A FEW QUESTIONS

The demand at headquarters
of the Democratic and Silver
parties for literature proves that
the people are trying to study
the money question. eve do
not care for speakers, we need
and want information" write a
number of correspondents.
The American people are in
doubt as to what is best for
them. They understand there is
great trouble, great distress,
great poverty and suffering
abroad. This they know, but
they do not know the cause of
the trouble. That the trouble
exists there is no denial, no
doubt, but what is the cause
they ask. The people do not
wish a dishonest dollar, they do
not wish a deprecated dollar.
They are honest and wish to
vote as they would act as indi-
Viduals, and when the bankers,
and the lawyers, and the usurers
and their paid newspapers tell
them that a silver dollar will be
a fifty cent DOLLAR and that to

The railroads of the country
are distributing among their
employees a circular Of which the
following clippings fair samp-
lie:
"The result of Bryan's election
would be panic such as no man
has ever seen. Business would
be paralized, and thousands OF
business men be bankrupt.
Wages would fall even lower
than now, and wages are the
last thing to rise"
The American Railway Union
has issued an address replying
to these circulars. The entire
address is to long for our space
this week but the following clip
pings show that it hits the spot
"The Railway Companies have
been cutting the wages of their
employees by all the means in
genuity could suggest and il
they believed free silver would
!, cut in two the wages they are
1ow receiving, we know of moth
ing in their past record that
would warrant the assumption
that they would oppose free
coinage.
Oh, no, it is not free silver that
has tlnloosened and enraged this
railroad Moloch. Then what is
it? Here is the answer: The
attack in the democratic plat
form on government by injunc-
ton. Here is the milk IN the
cocoanut. The election of Nc
Kinley means the perpetuation
of government by injunction. the
supremacy of corporations, and
the helpless, hopeless subsection
of employees. It will not be con-
fined to railroad corporations in
its enslaving operations. All
other corporations, trusts and
combines will claimits bene6cent
protection, aud therefore all
working men, especially those
who are organized, areprofound-
~ concerned in thit issue.
American railroads consist
largely Of British gold and Amer
lean labor. Government by in
junction crowns the former king,
the latter his subject.
The platform upon which VIM
J. Bryan stands is pledged to
abolish this despotic usurpation
ofjudicial power, and restore to
railway employees their lawful
rights to resist reduction and in
justice by the lawful means pro-
vided by their organizations.
The railway corporations are
united and have massed all their
tremendous powers to crush
him. This in itself is indisput-
able proof that he is the friend
Of the workingmen.
In view of all these facts-facts
of TREMENDOUS import which can
not be successfully controversial
we pledge our united and I'M
wavering support to William J.
Bryan for president, and appeal
to railway employees and all

The fact is large majority of
the people never stop to study
out those questions, they simply
take the word of their leaders,
and in this as in many other
cases it is the blind leading the
blind, and both are apt to fall
into the ditch.
We desire to direct attention
to few points and leave the
people who read our paper to
reason out the answer for them
selves.
If gold is to be the standard
will it not exclude silver from
circulation?
If silver is excluded and we
only have gold and the amount
Of silver and gold lat the ratio
of 16 to y is about equal in
quantity, will it not reduce the
money of retention one-half.
If by the exclusion of silver
from free coinage and it's legal
tender qualities the world reduces
the money of redemption one
half in quantity does it not
double the purchasing power OF
the other halt, gold.
If gold would go to a premium
or be excluded from circulation
by the use of silver, would it not
still remain as a medium Of re-
demption even if at a premium
and still be used as basis of
credit.
If silver is outlawed and not
used as illegal tender, does it not
exclude it from being used ae a
metal of redemption, does it not
contract the circulation, and is
not the real volume of currency
lessened to that extent while
gold at a premium would retain
its power to redeem even to a
greater extent? Would not one
half the redemption money nee
essarily compel the issuance Of
one-half Of the fiat, or money to
be redeemed, and thereby de-
crease the circulation one-half.
If gold drives out silver and in
creases it's own value and power
to purchase, does not the power
of labor and products to pur-
chase gold decrease in exact
proportion as the power Of gold
increases? If silver is to be de-
throned that gold may be en-
throned, what benefit can labor
derive from such a condition.
Will it increase the circulation
if not does not the decrease make
money scarce and hard to secure?
If greenbacks are retired will
not the circulation be still furth-
er decreased?
Does not any decrease of cir
culation decrease the value Of
labor and products?
How can labor be benefited by
contraction?
Does not a contraction of cur
rency contract all prices?
Does not falling prices lock up
money and shut down industry?
Does not stopping work make
idle men? Does not idle hands
increase the burden on those that
work to fill the mouths OF the
unemployed?
Does not each additional id1er
aid in depressing the wages Of
labor?
Does not low prices prevent
the farmer from buying from the
manufacturer?
Does not the failure on the
partvof the farmer to buy com
pell the manufacturer to shut
down or run on half time?
Does not shutting down, or
working short hours practical
ly reduce wages?
Does not the reduction of
