Gen. Watts is doing good work
for the Democracy, and he should
receive his reward. if the LegieIa-

Our Republican friends can
never see how their high tariffs
cause low prices. When eprioes

The Republican organs and ora
tors told the people last year that
the DingIey bill made wheat worth
a dollar bushel. The Dingley
bill is still, in force. Win they
kindly tell the public the reason
that wheat is only worth go cents
this year.
The gold standard is disastrous

gold standard writer's of London

any further attempt to establish

it has not only ruined that scoun-
try, but would produce a panic in
London, because there is not
enough gold for the purpose. In
England and in the German En-
pire the agricultural interests are
paralyzed, and parliamentary in
quiry as to England has shown
that this condition is due to the
gold standard, and in both of these
countries there is now powerful

There is demand on the part
of the people to know who is re-
sponsible for the death and suffer
ing in the army, and this demand
also contemplates the punishment
of the guilty men. For this rea-

How about this Republican pros
perity that was promised? Has it
struck you? Don't you think you
have waited long enough under
false promises? Use your common
sense little in politics as well as
in business. You are no better off

Prices for all kinds OF farm pro-
ducts are ruinously low; the prices
of what the farmer buys at the
store are very high, The wool in
dustry is destroyed, wooden mills
are shutting down, operators of
other mills and coal miners on, a
strike for living wages. Yet we
are told by Republican papers that
these are the good times promised
by gold administration. One
such golden administration viii be
quite enough for the country:
Take away the blighting curse
of gold standard prices by re-
storing of bimetalism and the des-

rose beneath the touch of modern
energy, and the breath of financial
liberty.
The price of wool has dropped
SO low under the new Republican
tariff that Republican stump speak

country where sheep are raised
They are ashamed to look sheep
in the face.
