Sample Copies.

We print to-day. quite number OF
extra copies OF the PRESS tor free distri-
button among those who do not take it..
We invite the attention of all into whose
hands it may fall to it's form, makeup
contents and general appearance as a
weekly newspaper. We are willing to
compare it with any weekly paper in
this section of the state, and bope it may
meet the approval of those who may
see it for the first time. The Press will
try to be fair upon all public questions,
and its columns are always open to
well-written communication for any
person. While it will have opinions of
it's own it will be tolertent of Others,
and none will be denied a hearing who
have a just cause for complaint. No
man can hope to publish a newspaper
that will please every body. That is out
of the question; but we hope to make
the PRESS one that will commend itself
to the favorable judgment offair-minded
reasonable people who want plenty OF
local, county and state news, and a
weekly summary of the news of the
world.

What co our readers think of this
style of newspaper electioneering owe
quote from the New York Dispatch,
a republican paper OF large circulation
The Bryan people are such an incen-
diary lot they are led into the most fan
tastical and insane utterances. Senator
Jones of Arkansas the head and front
OF them is being blamed by the Bryan
press for some of his utterances. He
should not be. His talk is milder than
Bryan s Chicago speech Read it. Here
is one quotation:
Burn down your citiesl
Jones should be lett alone. Ee is only
consistent and directly in line.
What Mr.. Bryan really said was this:
"you come to us and tell US that the
great cities are in favor OF the gold stand
ard. l tell you that the great cities rest
upon these broad and fertile prairies.
Burn down your cities and leave our
farms, and your cities will spring VI
again as if by magic; but destroy our
farms, and tie grass will grow in the
streets OF every city in this country"
Such cespicable methods are pound
to react. A cause that needs to be boil
stored up in such way is certainly in
bad shape. York Gazette.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES perfect
ly well what is depressing the prices o
their products, and that single gold
standard is totally inadequate TO the
development, progress, and prosperity
OF their great industries.
The total depreciation in value OF
lands OF these States, and of their agri
cultural products, and other properties,
mainly caused by the characterization
Of silver, is probably equal to the cost
of the late civil war, which including
original cost and interest and pensions
to date, was over nine billion dollars
AS Secretary Carlisle well said in his
truly prophetic speech in the House OF
Representatives in 1878;
According TO my view of the subject
the conspiracy which seems to have
been formed here, and in Europe, TO
destroy by legislation, and otherwise,
from three-seventl,s 20 one half OF t5s

gigantic crime OF this age"

would ultimately entail more misery
upon the human race than all the wars,

must abandon the. statement that the
workingman 8 dollar will be worth

BRYAN'S SOMERSAULT.


-Four years ago Candidate Bryan ad-
vocated free trade on the ground that
it would make prices lower: to-day he
is shouting for free silver because it
will make prices higher. One would
need to be we'll up in turning double
somersaults to keep in line with Mr..
Bryan. Where is he at, anyway?
Prices taken without relation to wages
means nothing. Low prices will do us
no good if we have no work and no
money with which to buy anything,
and free trade means no work and no
money, whether it means low prices or
not. Higher prices will do us no good
if there is nobody to buy our goods.
and with factories shut down and peo-
pie out of work, neither the farmer
nor any one else has a market for his
goods. Juggle the figures as you will,
there is only one way to make them
add up to prosperity, and that is by in
Guiding a protective tariff. That
means plenty of work and good wages
for the wage earners, and for the
farmer home market and increased
demand for his products. American

Thus does the free trader cry out
against an evil which four years ago
he championed as an advantage to the
laboring classes. With free trade he
promised cheapening of clothing and
pooh-hooed at the assertions of the
Republicans that it would bring our
wage-earners in competition with Eu-
ropean paupers and cause a cores
ponding cheapening of labor. Even SO
