There has been no politics here this
fall. People are too busy 10 give any at
tention to the election that Is nearly a

severely drubbed last fall have worked
themselves into q passion as they see
the silver issue dlsappearin the smoke OF

ton, And when they hear OF the
thousands of dollars that are distribute
ed each week to the working people
who have longed for these better days

and say that times are not any better
than they We're last year. But the pay
rolls OF the manufactures tell their
own story. and the better cOntented
farmer is buying things he has needed
for years. Thus the merchant In all
lines is feeling the good effect, and IS
preparing for more business. Every

deed be an unhappy one, but he Is 10 be
pitied, not censured. Better days will
come TO all, and improvements stimu-
lated by the greater confidence that the
country Is safe from the agitators will
go on now that the vaults are open and
money in abundance Is to be had at
the command OF every legitimate enter
