prosecute James Booker, for pater-
nifty. So he prepared a liquid con
tanning some poison. On the pre-
tense that he was going to do the
fair thing with her, he invited her
to take drink out of his bottle
She did SO, and before he could
get out of sight she was a corpse.

The Republican gold bugs al
ways speak Of the silver dollar as
fifty cent dollar. Who made it
fifty cent dollar2 Why John
Sherman, at the instance of Wall
street. If it is only worth fifty
cents, why do the Republicans
proclaim that it will buy 100 cents
worth of goods? They base it on
it's bullion value, not on its stamp
ed value. The Republicans de-
monetized silver as money, and
thereby deprecated the bullion.
Let free coinage be again estab-
lished, and then the mint price of
silver will be one dollar an ounce,
and consequently silver bullion
will be dollar an ounce in the
market, and then you will have a
dollars worth of silver in stand

terfeiting. Counterfeiters have
been able to imitnte almost every
other peculiar feature of the bank
note, but have nevor succeeded
with tho threads.

ISM" the farmers are also inter
esting themselves in free silver.
It is not SO certain that the New
York delegation to Chicago, will
be a unit for the gold standard.
Another foolish lie about the
silver sentiment is to the effect
that it is an invention of Demo-
cratic politicians to steer them
into office. This is the most fool
ish lie of all. The silver senti-
ment started among the masses of
the voters. The politicians all
over the country, together with
the leading newspapers of the
land, have been against silver. 1t
is an uprising of the people against
the money powers of Wall street
and Europe.
