the same and voters, who worked
on salary were doubtlessly large-
ly influenced toyote for Mckinley
fearing a lessening in the value of
the dollar and the increasing of

posed tariff goods viii be advanced
in many instances more than %
per cent. and it will take 81 .25 of
the money of 1897 to buy S1.O0
worth of goods at the prices of
1896. The beauties of the high
tariff and the blessings of the gold
standard are becoming more appar-
ent each day. Fairmont Index

is simply two smooth walnut boards,

In the antebellum days people never

rooms, making life miserable generally.
In fact. tie use of netting t. prevent

the olden days the method most COM

such instruments as the one described

collected thereon. The cook clapped
them in the kitchen. the hands as they
