armed out by the government to a
company that charges ex~tortionate

IT were a special favor to let then,

everything ready to make an attack up

A Committee Of citizens called on Sec

grinders and various other things be-
longing to brick-yard outfits which is
not necessary to enumerate here. These
goods are sold all over the United States,
besides considerable trade is had in
Europe, South America and Mexico.
Their foundry is well equipped, hav-
ing among other features a six ton
travelling crane for conveying melted
iron to the TASKS, and for other purposes,
At present they are melting about eleven
tons Of iron per week.
The travelling force Of the firm consists
Of two men, one with headquarters In
Chicago and one in Indianapolis, who
care for the western trade. Besides
these, the members Of the firm frequent
ly take short trips and for the past two
years, one or other Of them have made
transatlantic voyage in the interests Of
their business.
The practical value Of this firm to
Wellington consists largely in the fol-
lowing facts: They employ at present
twenty-five Of our citizens and pay them
in clean cash about $l10O per month,
which is, or ought to be. largely spent in
our own town. More than this, we are
told by the gentlemen Of this firm that
the outlook for 1899 is excellent, and we
sincerely hope their anticipatiOns may

1t Is the opinion Of shrewd political
observers that the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Belmont, presi-
dent Of CrOker's democratic club, in
which Mr.. Bryan read Mr.. Belmont and
all other democrats who bolte in 1896
and have failed to publicly announce
since then that they will support the
Chicago platform, If it be readOpted next
year, out Of the democratic party, will
result in accentuating the line between
the dollar democrats and the ten dollar
democrats, az the silver and gold demo-
Gratis are now called, and in increasing
the certainty of republican success. A
prominent New York democrat said OF
Mr.. Bryan's letter: ut Is perhaps play
to the galleries-an old Bryan trick-a
bid for the continued support Of the
South and West by this act Of voluntary
antagOnism to the east. 1t seems to me
a clumsy performance and how it will
make the Nebraska man friends any
