The real truth is, fusion got in it's
deadly work in this part of the country.
A great many of the so-called fusion
Pops, or those who have been fusion
lists, are not today. They have become
convinced of the insncerity of the
Democratic leaders, and are beginning
to look upon Mr. Bryan as a man seek
ing office rather than a man standing
truly and boldly for principle. But
they evince no disposition as yet to
come back into the Populist fold. The
Mid-roaders. however, feel that the
proper thing to do is to keep up the or
ganization as strongly as possible.

toward organizing precinct clubs in this

Women and the Vacation Season.
Vacation time has come. Everybody
who can get out of town hurries into
the country. The country people are
entertaining their city guests, studying
the city fashions. and acquiring city
ways 1t is the season of general enjoy
ment, goodfellowship, and doing as
nearly nothing as is possible.
Health requires change Of air at
least once year. Those who live at
the seaside should climb to the mount
aims; those who live in the interior
should seek the sea; the Eastern people
should go West, and vice versa. But
fashion is stronger than hygiene, and so
we see this healthful rule disregarded.
New Workers.. who live for nine months
on the shore of an ocean bay, transfer
themselves to Newport, Long Island,
Atlantic City, Coney Island and other
seaside resorts, where they breathe the
same salt air.
This is as if a man should say: 81 am
and want change; give me another
cup of coffee, a little stronger"
Comparatively few persons have the
good sense to take a real vacation by
going into the woods if they are city
people. into the cities if they are rural
people. and thus securing that complete
change of scene which has magical eff
fects upon both the body and the mind.
Canada and Nova Scotia with climates
much cooler than this, are at our doors
but numerous fashionable folk turn
AWAY to summer resorts, where they re-
new the dinners and dances of the
winter, change their costumes half a
dozen times a day, and come home at
the end of the season more tired than
when they went away.

ALL MONEY is SOVEREIGN.
No Determinations should lie Allowed

All money should stand on an equa.
footing and be Interchangeable at par.
and no Inconvenience Will ever be eN-

demand notes or "greenbacks' issued
bv the government in 1s6l-G2 kept pace
with the price Of coin and never dcpre-

made receivable for all public dues, the
same as gold They were not even
illegal tender" but they kept company
with gold through all the period of the
lowest depreciation Of legal tender
greenbacks. In March, 1868. when de-
probation reached its average, gold
brought 1857 in legal tender notes, and
demand notes brought 1913, anc this
practical parity between the two kinds
Of money was sustained throughout.
Legal tender grcenbacks deprecated

by special act of congress excluded
