The business men and citizens Of
Lexington must maze arrangements to
give the State Poultry, the Slate Swine
Breeders and State Good Roads Asso-
Citations a royal reception and enter
tainment when they meet here IN
December. II is very seldom that a
Missouri City has the honor of enter
tanning three great associations like
these, and Lexington cannot make q
better stroke than by giving them
everything that money can command.
It is estimated that the Missouri hen
makes this state $4,000, 900 richer
every year. The poultry industry is
coming to the front. The Missouri
hog breeder IS becoming a power, too.
Here in Lafayette county It is not out
of the ordinary for a hog TO sell at
5000, and from that to $3.50. The
Missouri hen is a queen andIthe Miss

The attack OF one Geo. Robertson,
of Mexico, a whining sycophant around
the corporation throne and an incense
burner at the dishonored altar of G..
Cleveland, on Sam B. Cook, the dem
ocratic leader, serves only to strengthen
the confidence of the Missouri democ-
racy in their well-tried and always
found-worthy leader. Robertson is a

Job, aud naturally voted with his
ssmasters'' at the last election. He
tries TO pose as a democrat, but Bene-
dict Arnold would have had as much
right 10 pose as a patriot. The attack
on Cook was made perhaps at the
behest of his ssbosses, " and like all
such attacks, was made with a view of
hurting the silver cause, which Cook
reuresents as the official head of the
Missouri democracy. But the effofts
of such fellows to injure Cook or silver
will prove fruitless. Let every yellow
dog in Missouri fire it into Sam. The
more they bark at him the better the

BRYAN is GROWING STRONGER.

Tho republican papers daily an
nounce that ''Bryan has passed" and
that s.lhe free silver issue is dead
These papers rarely fail in any issue to
make the broad statement that there
will be no silver issue in 1900, but
they fail miserably in trying to give a
reason for il.
They themselves don't believe the
'srot" they print and how can they ex
pect any SANE man to believe 1t.
Mr.. Bryan and the ''silveT issue re-
ceived nearly seven million votes in
the last election. The small number
of % 900 votes changed in the right
staIps would have given them the VIC
tory. But they were defeated. They
accepted the defeat as temporary and
conscious in battling in a righteous
cause the SILVER men of the uation are
today waging their campaign confident
that victory awaits them.
They have no political prophesy con-
corning the gold standard on record
that has not come true, and the gold
ties have no promise on record that
they have fulfilled. In their despera-
ton the republicans are claiming the
works of Providence. and trying TO de-
ceive others into the belief that the sill
yer issue is dead, and thai Mr.. Bryan
Is out of the question as a leader IN
1900. Let's see about this. The New
York World on last Monday published
kilograms from the chairman of Demo
cratic state committees of thirty eight
states and without a single exception
every one of them stated that silver
would be the issue and Bryan the can
didate in 1900. This don't look much
like surrender does itP
Every one of these trusted party
leaders says that both silver and Bryan
are growing stronger. This don't
sound like what we see in the republic
can papers, does itP
These thirty eight men are supposed
to know what they are talking about
are they notP If silver was a dying
issue don't you suppose that these men
would be a little milder about express
ing themselvesP
But the truth is what hurts the
republicans. They know that the big
-a ahafr s1nnsfir1 afo 0nn-I
spiracy ever had on hand was to defeat
Bryan on the silver issue in 1900.
They witness the growing popular
ity of the issue and they are try
ing with their election-purchased adj
ministration to stem the tide. They
witness the thousand OF votes who
flock to zeal Bryan and they quake lest
1t is interest in the cause that he repre-
sents and admiration for his sincerity
and ability instead of curiosity that
causes the great demonstrations.
Every where Bryan goes the people
flock to bear him. The ovations he re-
cieves are greater even than those of the
campaign. The people are rallying TO
him because he represents their mali
enable rights and represents them hon
esily and ably. they are in earnest
about the issue and the demonstra-
ton OF their earnestness has put every
paper IN the country 10
lying about Bryan and the cause he has
.espoused.

Said by William j. Bryan.

In n letter of several columns to the
New York World Mr.. Bryan discusses
the political situation at length. From
this letter we take the following para
graphs;
1.-The rise in wheat will aid, rather
than %injure, the aus of bimetallism
While a few people may be inclined to
give an administration credit or blame,
as the cause may be, for everything
that happens during its existence,
every intelligent persen reasons from
cause to effect. Wheat has risen
because the foreign crop has been ex-
ceedingly short"
"When wheat reached 80 cents Il
bushel, II republican in Nebraska
pointed out that the rise was just about
equal to the tariff on wheat, and attri-
buted the rise to the Dlngley law; but
1t would be an insult to the intelligence
of the average republican, to suppose
him capable of cherishing such a
delusion. While wheat is higher in
Liverpool than it is in New Yo.k (and
it always, or nearly always, is) a tariff
on wheat has no influence upon the
price IN the United States"
''If the republicans desire to claim
credit tor the high price of wheat, they
must assume responsibility for the
famine in India. VIII any republican
convention point with pride to the
famine as an evidence that the repub-
lIcan party is redeeming Its campaign
pledgesP VIII the republican party
pledge itself to use its best efforts to
continue the famine abroad, as IL
pledged itself last year to promote
international bimetallismP"
ave were told last fall that an ap-
preciating dollar was a national bless
ing, and yet within a year the entire
Republican press is in ecstacy because
the purchasing power of a dollar has
to some extent decreased"
"The wage earners were told last
s@Il that a rise in the price of commod-
tiles would be detrimental to them,
and yet, behold! how happy the Re-
publican spell binders are because one
great staple-hour-has risen."
1.-THE laboring men were told that
their wages would be virtually reduced
when it required dollars to buy a
given amount of food and clothing.

II Senator Francis NJ. Cockrell is
not reelected t o the United States
senate it will be because he will not be
living at the time for the election.
Death is the only contingency that
could defeat him. This talk about
other candidates is nonsense. There
is 20 a politician in this state who
could carry the vote of a single county,
but who knows that the people OF
Missouri are for Francis NJ. Cockrell,
and that they are going to keep him in
the senate. The annals of the senate
do not contain the name of u single
senator who is or was his superior.
Cockrell will ~notlhave any opposition.
His record precludes it. He need make
