for your wheat, we wish to sell
you some of our large stock of
furniture. There. never was
such a store for bargains in Fur
niture, Wall Paper, Carpets, &c,

been to our satisfaction, and
dull business makes us hard up.

your money with US, so we can
get the cash to pay our bills,

Sitting in the newly purchased

Mckinley is the most popular
President since Lincoln, and that
the American people were never
so prosperous. Mr.. Carnegie is an
excellent judge. Mckinley signed
the taxing bill that viii put mil

He can enjoy life abroad, and lux

charges this government 1925 a ton
for. No wonder he is satisfied.

Beats all how funny that Ding
ley tariff works. It was passed in
the interests of American labor but
wages are still going lower while
every thing the American laborer
must buy to live on is going up.
1t will be difficult to explain to the
wage-earner how this benefits him,
but it is not impossible to do SO in
view of past events. For it has
always been the argument that to
protect the employer, indirectly
helped the employe. The latter
seemed to believe that. 1t is not
unreasonable to suppose he may
be induced to believe that an in
creased expense account on de-
clinipg wage account will in some
mysterious, indirect way, work to
his advantage. And we boast of
the intelligence of the American
voter.

The price of silver is regulated
by the demand, the same as wheat,

the mints of the world shut against
silver, the demand amounts to

to it, and the price would jump TO
100 cents on the dollar in a day,
