Victory in Sight.

After quarter OF century of abso-
lutte rple by bank manipulators money
changers, extortionists and stock job
bers through secret and corrupt agen-
cies, the enemies Of the people are forced
to do battle in the coming campaigns in
the open field. 1t is true the enemy is
entrenched behind breast works OF fraud
and corruption. The contraction OF the
money volume by the destruction Of sill
yer and the use of gold alone is the sa.
tanic post which must first be taken.
The rallying cry in defense Of the ad-
vanced position Of gold contraction
around which the evil spirits that infest
the earth and the depraved Of human
nature congregate is the sanotimonioue,
hvpocritical, nonsensical platitude
"sound money"
The words Sound money" are en-
blazoned on the banners of the bank
robbers, shylocks. extortionists and
bribers OF every grade. and constitute
the headlines OF the bombastic, false
and brazen editorials of venal press.
The phrase sound money" has so long
been associated and formed SO large a
part Of the vocabulary of the parasites
and robbers Of the human race that it
has become sign or emblem Of every
thing cunning, crooked. dishonest and
corrupt. 1t is also sign held out to
the American people to indicate the
presence of the enemy, and to show
where to begin and where to end the
fight.
Wherever the Clevelands, the Sher-
mans, the Carlisles. the Cages or their
emissaries, raise the Infamous banner
emblazoned with sound money" there
is the place to strike. There is no dan.
ger in firing upon any multitude carry
ing banner bearing the infamous mot.
to Of hurting any innocent man. Since
the line has been drawn between democ-
racy and plutocracy, the man who in
1893 and 1900 gets on the wrong side Of
that line and shelters himself under the
iniquitous motto sound money" is q
rebel and traitor, who has forfeited
every claim to the consideration Of hon
est men.

Speech of Senator Cannon.

One of the ablest and brightest speech.
es delivered in the United States senate,
during the past two weeks, was that Of
Senator Frank j. Cannon, Of Utah. on
his amendment to the tariff bill giving
the farmers an export bounty on staples
Hia proposition is most just and rea-
sonable one, in view of the fact that as
conditions now prevail the farmer is
compelled to buy in q highly protected
market and sell in free trade market.
Senator Cannon's speech will be printed
in pamphlet form, and every voter should
write him for copy. Address Senator

that Impressed me with the idea that
had not signed the note.
I'm the first place It was signed Julia
Knox, and all business papers always
sign Julia E. Knox. All the exhibits
in the case for the defense show my
usual signature save the two bonds, and
they were signed Julia Knox, because
Attorney Pierce told me to so sign, to
conform to the body of the note"
Witness wrote on the blackboard an
imitation of the signature on the $3.50
note, and underneath wrote her normal
signature, so to speak. She then point
ed out, in addition to the absence of the
"E." several very marked differences
in the letters-differences not only ir
outline, but showing clearly that they
had been formed in a different manner
than that ordinarily used by Mrs. Knox.
'On January Is, 1895, I owed Mrs. Dris-
coll no sum whatever" said the witness,
continuing, F." and not until March 18th,
when borrowed the s1O0, did I become
indebted in any sum. have the receipt
for that amount dated March, and I
can't conceive of signing any other note
on January 18th. I heard both Attorney
Pierce and Mrs. Driscoll testify at the
preliminary examination when the at
torney stated that the note was given at
that time. I know positively that had
no reason to give note at that time
and then became confirmed in the belief
that had never signed that note.
Mrs Driscoll never spoke to me about
$3.50 note, but often about the 500
note. The first time 1 remember was in
March, 1896, when she came to me and
said she wanted some money and asked
me If 1 could raise some money for her
I said would try and did pay her $50.
"On Christmas 1 was at Mrs. Hassfur-
ther's at Pico Heights. Our family were
there and Mrs. Driscoll. The latter re-
marked to me, after I had said some
thing about my troubles, oh, you are
not in debt much; the s100 note needn't
worry you, and I wouldn't care for it if
it wasn't for my son George"
Other remarks made by Mrs. Driscoll
in the presence of others were also re-
tailed by witness.
Reverting to the $3.50 note, witness
stated that when she saw 1t all torn and
pasted together again she was surprised
again, because Mrs. Driscoll had told
her that the 500 note had been torn up
and destroyed. "The balance of my in
debtedness," continued witness" was
settled id this way: had been working
for her, and one day took the money
down to her and she said: You have
done a good deal of work for me, and l
will call it square, but don't say any
thing about it TO George
Il had been on very friendly terms
with Mrs. Driscoll but am not now. Our.
estrangement arose, l think, in No
vember of last year. 1t was in the Cen
trail park when she accused me of tell
ing her son George a private matter.
Tell her exact words" interjected Mr..
Earl.
Must I tell just what she said?" in
qured witness with something of pro-
test in her voice.
She said" replied the witness, "You
have spoken to George about my not
having been married to his father"
Il told her that 1 had not, but she
maintained that L had and formed her
opinion by the way George had been
acting"
