SENATOR CHANDELIERS ENrREATY

Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, right.
ly thinks that bankers should not alone as
sumo to voice American sentiment on bimetal'
lism and that the people should make them
selves heard against the selfish outcries of en-.
gorged money lenders Of New York and
Chicago and their subservient newspapers.
While Senator Chandler assumes to give
President Mckinley credit for sending abroad
bi.metallic commission, he neglects to OBJ
serve that he recommended a currency com.
mission here at home composed of these same
money lenders of New York and Chicago and
whose service will be directed exclusively to
the framing of law in conformity with the
doctrines laid down by the indianapolis Gold
Democratic convention. There has never
been any intention on the part Of Mckinley
or Republican congress to give the people an
ample currency, which would be issued exclu-
siyely by the government in..which gold, silver
and paper would each be legal tender and
stand at par and be exchangeable with each
other.
The aim and intention of the Republican
leaders is to preserve our present gold standard
as they interpret it, to retire the greenbacks,
to give into the hands of the banking corpora
tons the entire issue of the paper currency
and to completely retire silver except for sub
sidiary coinage. They expect and desire to
give into the hands of the banking corpora
tions the control of the entire volume of
money of the country so that they can inn
mediately control the price of products and the
wages of labor. While Senator Chandler's eff
forts on behalf of bi.metallism should and will
be appreciated by every right minded citizen,
yet the work of Mckinley and the Republican
leaders in behalf of banking corporations
should move him to investigate the extent of
the dire calamity that will certainly befall the
people should the Republican policy as now
outlined become the law of the land,

A CHANGE OF VIE VS..

Ex-senator PETER, of Kansas who at Des
Moines, Iowa, August 10, took such decided
stand against the uniting Of the reform forces
of Iowa, and favored middle-of-the-road
Populist ticket, has radically changed his
views. At Kansas City, Mo-, September 8, he
said:
THE need of the great party combining all
the forces of the opposing voters was never
more apparent than it is now. Crazy with
success and the accompanying upward ten
dency of prices, the Republican party, with
its almost military discipline, will be more
formidable than ever, for now it is the last
refuge Of the class interests that have brought
all of our worst troubles on us.
"Union ought to be the battle cry of all re-
formers. Let the people rule. AS the aboli
tionists, the free soilers, barn burners and
other anti ti.slavery bodies united with Demo
Gratis and wings to form the Republican party
in 1885, and as members of vorious labor or
carnations combined with Republicans and
Democrats in 1892 to form the Peoples party
so now ought Democrats, Republicans, Social
lists, Single Takers, Nationalists, Populists and
all other persons who are opposed to the policy
of the last and present administrations tC
unite in one great body, under new name
and creed Of our own choosing, and together
as one man, make war upon the common
enemy This is the only way to secure thu
full vote of the opposing elements, for no on'
of the existing parties can get anywhere nea
all the votes of other parties, but If all ar,
brought together in one body then each mem
Der will support and defend it,"

Mark Hanna has discovered before the
campaign fairly opens that ordinary
everyday brass bands and plenteous
dollars will not draw crowds to his meet
ings. He has evolved a novel scheme to
attract the people. On the afternoon Of
every big meeting with an emphasis on
the big) there will be balloon ascension
with jump from parachute. He does
not expect to kill more than one aer.
onaut week and as there is only seven
weeks OF the campaign, he thinks seven
men will be sufficient. As men are
cheap and he has the dollars, the killing
of a few men will cut no ice. The Stark
county committee ought to make ar
rangements Immediately for the balloon
and especially provide that one man

Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, in his
speech at Washington, g. H., on Satur'
day said: "They say that this prosperi-
ty we are enjoying is the providence of
God. Abraham Lincoln was provi-
dence of God, The Republican party is a
providence of God; the Mckinley bill
was providence of God; the Dingley
bill is providence Of God and William

The Republican wiseacres who prom.
ised prosperity year ago now think
they have done it, They want farmers
to think the g. o. p. did it. Farmers
read these days and know that had
crops been good in Europe and else.
where there would have been no ad-
vance in the price of wheat, and next
year crops may be good and prices may
drop. We do not hear Of work becom.
ing plenty and wages advancing. Deal
ers in towns do not find improvement
in their business to any great extent.
People are as yet pinched for money
and hence can not buy freely. Let us
be truthful in these matters, for they
are serious. The rise in wheat began in
Europe not in this country.

The Alliance Review don't want q
Democratic organ in that town and has
got a temporary injunction allowed re-
straining Mr.. Wadsworth from going on
with his Daily Leader. The Review
people claim that the name belongs to
them, as they bought and paid for it. Is
it possible our Review friends think they
can prevent Democratic daily in this
way? II the name is not Leader it may
be Bryan or something else. A rose
by any other name would smell as
sweet. And our Democratic friends in
and about Alliance have the requisite
pluck and will stand by Mr.. Wadsworth
who, we judge, is fully determined in
the premises, Free speech and free
publication still survive and are likely to
continue in spite of injunctions.

A GOOD THING
For Women to Remember

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with woman-a
woman whose experience in treating
woman's ills is greater than that of any
living physican-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to woman
when it is revolving to relate her private
troubles to man-besides, man does
not understand-simply because he is a
man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift
along from bad to worse, knowing full
well that they should have
immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impes them to shrink from ex.
probably examinations of even their
family physician. 1t is unnecessary.
Without money or price they can con-
suit woman, whose knowledge from
actual experience is greater than any
local physician living.
The following invitation is freely
offered; accept in the same sperit:
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and anwered by women
only, thus has been established the eter.
nal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham
and the women of America which have
never been broken and has induced
more than 100000 sufferers to write tc
her for advice during the last foul
months. Out of the vast volume of ex
perience which she has to draw from, it i,
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help your
case. She asks nothing in return but
your goodwill, and her advice has re
lieved thousands. Surely any woman
rich or poor, is very FOOLS if she doel
not take advantage of this generous offel
of assistance.-Lydia E. Pinkham Medi
cine Co., Lynn, Mass.

Ostensibly occupying the position of
Secretary of State, John Sherman will
offer that as a reason for refusing to APP
pear on the stump in Ohio this year.
1t does not require the memory of an old
inhabitant to recall the fact that when
he is not interested in the Senatorial
fight in Ohio and especially when he ex-
poets the state to defeat the Republican
party, he finds an excuse to remain
silent, and away from the state. John
is slick one, and he has not lost his
cunning in his cid age.

Mr.. Bryan at st, Louis on Labor Day
said: 1.-THE main purpose Of the writ OF

Trial by jury is morei important to the
American people today than it ever was

originally intended as protection
against society and it is today the main
protection the people have against plu.

royalty is under a monarchial form of

FALSE PREDICTIONS.

We are being constantly informed by the
Republican press that the agitation for the free
coinage of silver is dead because OF the pros.
perity that has come through the rise in the
price of wheat and the passage of a tariff bill,
Confidence has returned" they inform us and
now it is proposed to manufacture for a mar
ket that every honest business man knows
from personal experience does not exist. Mil
lions of men out of employment for years ac
cumulating debts for living expenses find that
under the present system of manufacturing by
machinery the workmen Of America is capable
of producing in few months all the manu-
factured products that the whole people can
purchase in year, with the present scant sup
ply of money in circulation and the exceeding
ly low wages they are forced to accept. Few
if any workmen have been able to lay by any
thing for the proverbial rainy day." In
fact under the distress and idleness caused by
the manipulations of the money power, wha
little savings had been laid by has been with
drawn from our savings institutions and spen
for living expenses. With low wages every
where and in every department of industry
and no immediate prospect for an increas'
until every idle man is employed, with an in
different market caused from a lack of al
ample medium ofexchange, with debts to b.
paid and the most slavish economy demanded
on every hand, whatever Of prosperity ther
may come will be only to those who car
greedily squeeze the unfortunates who ar
compelled to work at starvation wages. Unit
some plan is devised that will give an ampl
medium TO exchange the products of labor an'
give TO the laborers an opportunity to eonsum

prosperity, you had better feel in your
own pockets for evidence and inquire OF
your neighbor how much of an increase
of wages has been allowed him. Because
you have to pay more for flour and po.
tatoes, without an increase of dollars in
hand to pay for them, will not strike you
as convincing evidence of prosperity.

SUPPORT THE TICKET

Says ex-senator Haines in letter to
the Carroll Chronicle. 1t is so. good,
patriotic and sensible that we reproduce:
Church Hill Farm,
Malvern, o., Sept. 7, 1897.
Editor Chronicle:-We are glad to an
nounce the fact as to how the Demo-
Gratis of Brown township feel with re-
ference to our convention, last Saturday,
to complete the ticket which every loyal
Democrat will support in this fall's cleo
ton.
1t is a worthy ticket and made up of
the best men. Every man, from the
head of the ticket to the foot, should be
supported and not a scratch made; and
although in this county and the legisla'
tive districts, we may be somewhat in
the minority, let us, like brave soldiers,
make a strong and aggressive fight, and
in the event we should lose the prize our
labors will be crowned with honor.
Every candidate ought to feel honored
when his party places him in the field to
contest for Office against odds, no matter
whether he is elected or not. His selec-
ton is an evidence of his ability, pop.
ularity and fitness. Then let every
candidate feel that it was an honor to
him to be placed on the Democratic
county and legislative district tickets to
be voted for this fall; and let us not, fol
the want of work, faith and ZEAL be LETT
behind, but by an aggressive, honest
and active campaign let US achieve Q
great victory. A. K. Ii.

There is great deal done under the
forms and color of law which is utterly
lawless, and this inexcusable, murderous
affair near Hazleton, Pennsylvania, is
one of them. The killed and wounded
number over sixty. These men were on
the public highway, and hence we're not
trespassers. They we're unarmed and
hence it may be presumed they were
not bent on violence. There was then
no evidence that they were public ene-
mics, but, on the contrary, civil citizens
without evil intent. Under these circum-
stances was it not monstrous to shoot
them down? This murderous proceed.
ing was not in the interest of claw and
