About the middle of the civil war a
freshly appointed colonel, with a new
ly enlisted regiment, joined the Union
forces in the far south. One bright
October morning word was received
that small detachment of General
Wheeler's cayalrymen was on the 9TH
er side Of the hill, and a force started
out In pursuit. The next day the Con
federates were reported miles distant
in the opposite direction. The third
day the new colonel and a veteran
brigadier started out for a pleasure
ride. A mile from. camp they rode in
to the fugitive Confederates, who had
been circllng the camp for a week. 1t
was a narrow escape, but they got
away unharmed.

Mr.. Bryan said in his Des Moines
speech:
I'VE lost the last campaign because
we lacked the foreign vote. They
didn't understand the silver issue. But
they well understand what a standing
army means. They know what expan-
sion and imperialism mean, and will
vote against them. They will under
stand these things better than the ma
tive Americans themselves, and on
such issues we can win."
This remarkable statement is in dl-
rect contrast to the utterances of Mr..
Bryan in 1896 when he declared he
would go down to death with free sill
yer. We did not look for such a con-
fession from him. We hardly thought
he would 60 so far as to openly insult
the intelligent foreign born voter. AS
to expansion, its loudest opponents are

foreign born citizens have had little to
say about it, and Bryan will be fooled
again.

THE RICHEST NATION
UN Gle SANS GREAT AND GROW
ING STOCK OF GOLD.

Proof of the Falsity of Democratic Free
Silver Arguments Found In tho Pres
ent Prosperity of the People of the
American Nation.
During the free silver campaign Of
1896 Bryan and his party orators
unanimously declared that the reason
for the fearful stagnation of business
was the lack of money. They charged
that the continuance of the geld
standard would not only prolong the
money stringency, but increase it, until
the whole country would be absolutely
ruined
On the other hand, the Republican
party and William Mckinley told the
people there was money enough in the
country, but it was lying idle, the
tartff-for-revenue-only policy having
Disseminated against our farmers,
wage earners, manufacturers and mer-
chants, so that little work was being
done, hundreds Of thousands Of wage
less men were living on credit, and
capitalists were fearful Of investing
because of the movement towards the
dishonest financial policy of free sill
yer.
AS soon as William Mckinley, the
champion of American industries, was
elected, and Organism repudiated, the
country took on, as it were, new life
proving truth of Republican promises
Fires were kindled, machinery set in
motion, wage earners employed, far
mers received good prices for their
products, money sought investments,
new factories were erected, and when
the Dingley tariff went nto effect, gen.

now that the country has the business

The Democratic party has only itself
to blame for the deep seated conviction

BLAST FURNACE GASES.
They Are Now Used by American
Furnace Owners to Operate
Gas Engines.

The practice of utilizing the gases of
blast furnaces, recently initiated in Eu-
rope, is already engaging the attention
OF American furnace owners. When
iron is being purified it is heated with
coal or coke, in huge furnace. Part
of the constituents of the fuel combine
with the oxygen Of the ore, and thus re-
duce the oxide. Among the products
which escape from the chimney in large
quantities is combustible gas. This
gas, however, is of poor quality, being
largely charged with dust, which has
hitherto told against its use for fuel in
coke ovens. To get rid Of this dust vari-
Gus means have been employed. Some
establishments which use the blast
furnace gas resort to apparatus com
monty employed in producer gas works,
such as coke scrubbers," and cleaning
boxes filled with breeze" Other man.

claims that the gas can be used for
power without any publication what
ever, and he mentions an instance in
which 1870 horsepower gas engine has
been kept going for over six months
without any means for purifying the
gas, or the withdrawal Of piston or
valves for cleaning. II has always been
