OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
WAITING FOR THE WAVE.

You told US that billow Of prosperity
would flow
a mighty wave-across the land from
Maine to Mexico;
That the mills would all be opened and lost
confidence restored,
And the banks would loosen up" their grfr
upon the golden hoard.
We are testing, now, the virtue Of the
golden cure" to save,
And are waiting, waiting, waiting, calmly
waiting for the wave.
You said the glorious flag of Thrift at once
would be unfurled,
And wave again in gladness DER recon-
structed world;
That Hopes effulgent beams would shine
In floods Of living light.
And raven-wtnged Despair would take her
everlasting flight.
That these grand things would happen, you
your solemn promise gave,
And now we're waiting, waiting. calmly
waiting for tho wave.
Yes, all these things would happen, we
were confidently told,
II we'd vote for Buckeye Billy and the
single standard gold;
But now we're on our uppers from tramp
ing on the street
In search OF work to earn wherewith to
buy our bread and meat.
We voted as you said we should. IN hopes
the way to pave
10 better times. and now we're sadly wait
ing for tho wave.
We've been waiting, waiting patiently for
10! these many days,
And watching for the rosy dawn to greet
our anxious gaze,
TIL our wardrobes are depleted and our
larders running low.
And the interest on the mortgage due, and
we are out Of dough-"
But hope deferred will drive us premature
ly to the grave,
II we have to wait much longer for the
coming Of the wave.

The Cabinet has about decided to
give the clerks in the departments
shorter hours during the hot weather.
The fact is that these poor clerks,
drawing four to six dollars a day and
and having to work from nine to four
are being ground down to that extent
that life is burden. The farmer can
work from sunup until SHUTDOWN. and
feel thankful that he is alive, but

AsslaNATs AND SILVER.
Ia slight Error Discovered in This
Goldite Item.

! The Detroit Journal, commenting
upon Mr.. Bryan's proposed trip around
the world, among other things, says:
l'Truly the campaign of education is a
continuing one, and itwould not be sur
prising II Mr.. Bryan learned in Europe
that what France attempted to do in
1896, by free and unlimited issue Of
assignats and failed disastrously to ac-
complish, the United States cannot do
with success by the free and unlimited
stamping of dollar marks on so cent
Idices of silver"
{ The Journal should not seek to be-
huddle It's readers with such trash. 1t
was the flooding of France with paper
Iassignats that brought about the revo-
tuition, and finally succeeded in piac-
ling France upon proper monetary
basis in 1903 through the coinage of
silver and gold, at the ratio of fifteen
and one-half to one. This ratio is in
force to-day, and has made the French
las people better off than those of any
other nation. That also accounts for
the paucity of French emigrants to
other countries. Would the Journal
have its constituents infer that the
american people are not equal to the
French in legislating for themselves
financially buffalo Times.

Grand Canyon Of the Yellowstone


"On both walls thousands of pinnacles, towers,
