Bryan has dropped the "crown of thorns
and cross of gold" business and taken up the
story of the dollar or the man." He
charges Republicans with putting the dol
lar above the man. But IL his free-silver
nonsense was embodied into law the value of
the silver-mine owners product would be in
creased and no equivalent given TO the labor
or value Of a man.-Noblesville Ledger.
By the panic of 1893 the farmers were
damaged as much. if not more. than any
other class of citizens. Land deprecated
and the prices of farm products were just
about equal TO the cost of raising. but there
has been a wonderful change during the
last two or three years. The price or corn
has been doubled, the price of wheat has
increased one-third, the price of every other
farm product has increased, and last, but
not least. farm land has appreciated.-Mor-
ristown Sun.
The only course open to this country is a

their resistance, which every one must adj
NIT will prove hopeless. 1t is not a question
of politics. but of patriotism. No one has
the power to foretell what the future policy

any more assurance now that free silver
will benefit the country than they did IN
1892 that free trade would do so? When

No one can truthfully say that there is
| any politics or personality in the results
OF the recent investigation by the grand
jury. That body was composed principally
of men who take no especial interest in pol
itics. They arc quiet, honest, successful
farmers and taxpayers. They represented
four political parties. They had no reason
to have, and did not have, any personal
feeling or animosity against any person in
dicted by them. The prosecutor and his
deputy are active young Democrats who are
entitled 10 good standing in their party.
| They are right in line with their party on
all the political issues now being advocated
by it. They have no doubt regretted to
have to do much that they have done. II

doing their duty should be spotted and re-
