Gave Him Relief.

Sir Henry Hawkins, who was raised
to the peerage as Baron Brampton aft
err long term on the criminal bench,
was a notable terror to evil-dOers. To-
ward the close Of his career he hap
pened to arrive at railway station,
and was at once accosted by a rough
fellow, who seemed anxious to assist
him in handling his baggage.
Struck with his friendliness, Sir
Henry said:
"You seem DESTROYS Of helping me,
my friend"
THAT'S what am, SIR" replied the
man. "You see, SIR, once you did me
a good turn" nsn n

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES.
Mark l.. Crawford Says They Are a
Sham and He Deserts
the Party.

Mark l.. Crawford, ex-president of the
International Typographical union, ex-
president of the Chicago Trades assem-
bly, and first secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, is supporting the
republican ticket this year, and will
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt. He
has always voted the democratic ticket
heretofore, and his reasons for not do
ing so this year are given by himself
as follows:
81 have voted the democratic ticket
ever since | have had a vote. l have
acted with the party that, every four
years since 1860, had in their platforms
viewed with alarm the results of re-
publican success at the polls, and the
tendency of republican rule towards
imperialism
with much mental reservation fol-
lowed the party in its declaration that
the civil war was a failure; its opposi-
ton to specie payment; its greenback-
ism; its tariff for revenue only and
last, but not .east, it's '16 to l. heresy.
But must decline to take another dose
of '16 to L and imperialism and shall
vote the republican ticket.
"On Looking Backward / am i'm
pressed with the feeling that the war
was not a failure; that specie payment
not only came, but came to stay; that
greenbackism was only the result of
indigestion; that we tried tariff for
revenue only to our sorrow; thus clos
ing our manufacturing industries, pa
a.yzing the business of the country
and making paupers of millions of hon
est workingmen.
IF for no other reasons am going TO
vote the republican ticket the coming
election. The difference in the two
planks concerning labor in the demo
cratic and republican platforms are
ample. The democratic plank says:
In the interests of American labor
and the uplifting of the workingman, as
the corner stone of the prosperity of our
country, we recommend that congress
create department of labor in charge of
a secretary, with a seat In the cabinet.
believing that the elevation of the Amer
lean laborer will bring with 1t increased
protection and increased prosperity to the
country at home and to our commerce
abroad
Briefly the democratic party be-
lieves that the elevation of the Amer
lean iaborer. etc. can best be accom-
plished by the elevation of one man
to job.
"The republican plank reads:
"'We renew our faith in the policy OF
protection to American labor In that pol
Icy our Industries have been established.
diversified and maintained. BY protect
ing the home market, competition has
been stimulated and production cheap
ened. Opportunity to the inventive
genius of our people has been secured and
wages in every department Of labor
maintained at higher rates-higher now
than ever beforehand always distinguish
ing our working people in their better
conditions of life from those of any COM
peting country
ut would seem to me that any work
ing man reading these planks carefully
would conclude, as l have, to vote the
republican ticket"

Well Supplied with Gold.

The gold supply of the United States
treasury is now competing for the po-
sition of being the largest single stock
in the world. The amount has been
steadily moving upward, las gold has been
deposited by the New York banks in ex-
change for notes shipped to the in
terror, and the total is now nip and tuck
with the great stores of the Bank Of
France and the combined fund of the
imperial Bank Of Russia and the i'm.

the United States treasury is now

CARRIAGE BUILDERS BUSY.
Their Prosperity Is an Indication
That Farmers and Mer-
chants Prosper.

A moments reflection will convince
anyone that the condition of the car
riage and buggy manufacturers of the
country gives an unfailing line on the
condition of the people generally.
When farmer is prosperous, receiv-
ing good prices, and feels contented
with his own condition, he is very
apt to buy new buggy, or surry, or
carriage. He gets along with the old
one, if he is not able to buy. The
city merchant and the country mer-
chant is governed entirely by the same
considerations.
With this in view, the following
statement made by Morris Woodruff,
Of Dayton, o., president of the Car
rage Builders national association,
which, by the way, is not an indus
trial combination, becomes of inter-
est. It is as follows:
"We have just held the most sue
cessful convention in the history Of
the association, and the reason for
its success is that carriage makers
are prosperous The carriage maker
feeds on prosperity, and starves on
depression.
During the last democratic admin
istration the demand for carriages fell
off to a point where business every
where was conducted at loss. The
carriage is no longer a luxury, but
is a necessity, though the first ne
cessity that is dropped when it be-
comes necessary to economic. In the
early half of 1896 the business was tenn
porarily prosperous, and continued so
up to the time that Bryan was nominal
ed on free silver platform. After the
Chicago convention the demand for
carriages fell off so rapidly that in 60
days 60 of the largest carriage firms in
the country went to the wall-failed.
Immediately following the election
of President Mckinley business began
to improve, and has improved steadily,
until the present year bids fair to be
the most prosperous in the history of
the industry. Our factories are run
ming full capacity without any trust.
pool or other stimulant.
"We have faith that Mckinley will be
elected, but we know that his election
means everything to us, and 95 per cent.
of our membership will not relax
muscle in his service until election
night"

Macveagh for Mckinley.

Franklin MacVeagh, the Chicago
merchant who six years ago was the
democratic selection for the United
States senate, has written letter to
Henry C. Payne, of the republican ma
tional committee, declaring his inten-
ton to vote for Mckinley and to do
all in his power to bring about his re-
election. Mr.. MacVeagh is gold
democrat and asserts that silver is
the paramount issue. He says that
Bryan would make an unsafe execu-
tive and that the greater number Of
Bryan gold democrats do not want
Bryan elected; furthermore that
many gold democrats have come out
for Bryan with the obvious view of
being in line for influential positions
in the event the Nebraskan is elect
ed. Mr.. MacVeagh adds that the
Philippine question can wait. but that
it is necessary that the country
should Immediately be saved from
Organism.

No Sectional Lines.

Sectional lines no longer mar the

feeling no longer holds back the love
we bear each other. Fraternity is the
national anthem, sung by chorus of

M'KINLEY'S DIGNITY.
The President Has Made No Dem
onstration This Year.
throughout the Campaign He Has
Confined Himself to His Duties
of Office as Chief
Executive.

How many of you have paused to
think of 1.-THE quiet dignity of that
figure in the white house? The rattle
and clash of conflict so completely
claim the minds of the people that
attention is quite distracted from
Washington, where all eyes will just
as certainly be turned next March.
1t is not the fault of those two
strenuous rivals, Col. Roosevelt and
Col. Bryan, who carry the same title,
though differently won, that they
should have succeeded in making
themselves centers of interest Where
they have moved and are now NOV
ing, the battle roars, and smokes, and
the witnesses watch it, fascinated. 1t
seems, sometimes, as If there were
nothing else to think of; because, by
the very fury of the controversy, other
figures are temporarily off the stage.
The calcium flares redly on the active
actors and on the shouting hosts that
follow. The one majestic figure of all
that is to command the universal eye
at the climax of the drama, is for
the present cioaked behind the screen
of duty, temporarily forgotten by
reason of the prodigious clatter and
hurly-burly elsewhere.
To the thoughtful of his country
men, whether opposed or pledged to
him in political faith, the attitude OF
the president must appear as ire
sistibly as his record. He has gone
on no journeys and made no speeches,
because il has not been necessary, and
because to have done either would
have lessened the dignity of the high
office to which he was chosen, and for
performing the duties of which the
people pay him as their honored and
trusted servant. Instead, he occupies
himself from day to day with the af-
fairs of state, administering them az
conscientiously in peace as in war,
and giving no thought so far as may
be discovered, to the grievous turmoil
that RACES about him, and on the
issue of which his destiny as a states
man is hinged. He utters no mani
festo, and his only arguments are his
acts. He proceeds on his daily way
in the consciousness of duty square
ly performed, and his path is lighted
by the halo of record full of hon
ors. He clamors for no notice, de-
mands no praise. His works do both
for him. In his very silence there is
a stronger appeal than could spring
from a thousand speeches. 1t is a
course both rare and eloquent. Oh,
the beauty of it!
So there you may perceive this fig
ure, If you look; that of a patient,
earnest, Christian gentleman; wise in
council, just in judgment, conserva-
tive in thought, and statesman to
his fnger-tips. A man that towers
above his fellows in qualities of heart
and BRAIN tried in the stern crucible
of war, beloved of his followers, re-
spected by his advisers, and spotless
in his personal life. Will you exchange
such a president for a mere monte
bank and visionary-an expounder of
political Nightmares? Oh, no, you will
not.--Ch.eago Journal.

FARMERS GROW WEALTHY.
Gain over n Billion Dollars In CrOps
and Live stock In the
Last Year.

Washington Oct. ga statement
Of the value of nine of the principal
crops of the United States for 1900
has just been made by the depart
ment of agriculture.
The crops included in the state
ment are corn, cotton, wheat, oats,
potatoes, barley, rye, hay and buck
wheat, and their aggregate value Is
So, 707, 057 500. The same crops last
year were worth $2,O60, O23, III, so that
for these nine crops alone the farm
ers received a total of $647,O34, 1929
more than in 1S99-and that was adj
mittedly one of the most prosperous
years ever known by the producers of
the United States.
The live stock statement is equally
gratifying. Swine are not included
in the totals, as the information is
not available, but the total value of
the horses, mules, cows and other
cattle and sheep this year amounts
to $2,212, 756,57s, while the same an
finals on the farm last year were
worth $1,s26, 9OO,664.
This is an increase of $685., 1855, 914.
Adding this to the gain in crop val
ues, and the farmers are over bill
lion dollars better off than they were
a year ago, the exact figures being
81, O32, s9O,243.
This gain in one year would be
sufficient to pay the entire interest
paving debt of the United States.

l. Funds-An Infamous
a Alliance.


One of the most remarkable attacks
ever delivered against Bryan was the
likening him to Satan ny Carl Schurz
on September s, 1896.
In his famous speech at the Central
Music hall, Chicago, Mr.. Schurz. said:
"Mr. Bryan has a taste for Scrip
tural illustration. He will remem-
Der how Christ was taken up on a high
mountain and promised all the glo-
ries of the world If He would fall
down and worship the devil. He will
also remember what Christ answered.
So the tempter now takes the Amer
lean people up the mountain and
says: Il will take from you half your
debts, if you will worship me- But
then, brave old Uncle Sam rises up in
all his dignity, manly pride, and hon
est wrath, and speaks in thunder
tones: Get thee behind me, Satan;
for it is written that thou shalt wor-
ship the God of truth, honor and
righteousness, and Him alone shalt
thou serve "
Since 1896 Mr.. Schurz has become
voice of the same tempter he warned
the American people against in 1896.
Not for "all the glories of the world"
but for Infinitely cheaper reasons he
has fallen down to worship the one
who, in 1885, he pictured as akin in
his principles to Satan. Bryan is still,
as in 1896, the personification of the
fri a
laborer so per cent. of his hire, and
from the farmer so per cent. of his
crop value.
Mr.. Schurz worships his new idol
with his face turned away. He is
ashamed to mention his name when
he gives testimony in his cause. But
by ''their works shall We know them"
and by his present works Mr.. Schurz
leaves no question in public mind
whose servant he has become.
Mr.. Bryan has recently said: "Great
is Tammany, and Croker is it's
prophet"
He has, in these words. made an open
expression of his sympathy with the
political power which tends to make
of Greater New York hell on earth.
The New York World democratic
has figured out that Cookers commit.
tee is collecting $4,150,OOo a year
through the police, as tax on crime,
and gives a list of the~forms of vice,
and the average rate of tribute which
is from SIS per month to 500 per week
each. as follows:
$50 poolrooms S7o0 OOO
100 swell gambling houses. ......... $40, 900
LOCO little gambling houses. ........ 1900. 900
6OO policy shops. ..................... $50, 600
l,VO dlVes DOC. 600
Illicit tax on crime per year. -. "a, $50, 900
And this is the supply tank which
pours revenue into the campaign fund
of Bryan. Every dollar of it is tainted.
Every dime and every penny is smeared
with the vileness of the slums, harlot-
ries and criminal joints and dens Of
New York city. This is the trust in
crime to which Carl Schurz has seen
fit to lend the responsibility of his
name
