BOOM FUSS.

ward, with this difference: that usually the hen
does some scratching. In a general way the
papers that are making SO much fuss are grub
eaters. There is little in common between the
men who do the scratching and the men who
do the cackling.
If prosperity has come, it is not due to
Dingleyism, or Rothschildisn, or any other
ism advocated or inaugurated by the hosts OF
the Hanna party.
The fact that Europe is obliged to have our
surplus wheat accounts for the rise Ill wheat.

short, taken in relation to population. Hogs
are short, but hogs do not boom. Neither does
corn. As matter of fact, Americans are con-

ers are out on strike, and some OF them are
near starving. How many of the idle factories
are starting up and finding employment tor the
idle operatives?
To eat, men must work. if they be poor
men. The poor man is not at work; or, II al
work, his wages are still down at the point OF
starvation.
Hanna did not scratch out the grub; neither
did Dingley; so, why all this cackle from the
threats of Republican ROSTERS?
The fact that tariff and boom came Ill to-

fools believe that there was healing power

The farmer will probably have surplus, and

Over-production will yet throttle our nation.

The Populists OF West Virginia held con-
v.ntiou and nominated silver man for lieuten-
anr-eovernor, leaving the remainder OF the
ticket to be filled out by the Democrats, A few
DAVIS later, the Democrats held convention,
but they ignored the Populists and nominated
full ticket, placing in nomination for lleHten-
apt.eovernor gold.bug of the most pronounced

state are not the friends Of free silver that they
