OUR SEPTEMBER Trade.

The September balance of trade in
our favor was more than S2,000000
for every working day, or S54 All $40.
Our exports increased nearly S6,0000 600
and our imports decreased over SILL
100000, SO that we gained both ways,
with the result that gold is coming
into the United States from Australia,
Alaska and even South Africa, while
the European banks are unable to stop
shipments from that continent. For
the nine months up to Oct. l, our mer-
chandise exports have reached the un.
precedented figures of s407 ,224 1896, an
increase of 90,649,793 over the corre-
spending period of last year. The to-
tai merchandise exports for these nine
months have been s1,031, ,6S6, ,4O1. These
are the facts that upset all the efforts
of the Bryanites to make calamity
campaign. They can't do it, and for
lack of it can't win.

WATCH THE COUNT.
Democratic Scheme to Garry
Chic For Bryan.
KEEP GUARD AT EVERY POINT!

There Are Thirty-three Hundred Pre-
oincts In Ohio, and the Stealing of II
Few Votes In Every Precinct Would
Mean n Change In the States Vote.
The Republican state committee Is
Informed that scheme is on foot to
steal the state for Bryan, II it can be
done.
There are many ways in which this
might be attempted, and every one of
these should be guarded against. One
Is, to call a Republican ticket as a
Democratic one, in the count of the
vote. Another, and very clever one,
is for a Democratic judge who is
calling" the tickets one by one, to
pick up two tickets at time, thus
losing one vote to Mckinley and the
whole Republican ticket every time
this is done.
A single Democrat, on an election
bS1iu, may luuo ltNtISt lut NtlulCI VI
his precinct. The ballots are destroy
ed when the count is completed, thus
precluding any recount. See to it that
the count is an honest one. The Re-
publicans have nothing to fear from
an honest ballot and straight count.
Republican precinct committeeman
In every precinct in Ohio have the
legal right to see that EVERY BAL
LOT is not only called, but is called
correctly. Insist on your legal rights!
Men who can be relied upon abso.
lutely should be appointed watchers
at EVERY polling place in the state
and they should be instructed to see
that neither Republicans nor Demo
Gratis shall be cheated out of the votes
which legally belong to them. Re-
publicans want honest elections. They
believe in the rule of the majority,
and not in fraud and cheating.

BRYAN AND SILVER.

1--WE have begun an unceasing war
fare upon the gold standard" said w.
]. Bryan in Columbus, o., on Sept. 1,
1896, but his warfare ceased on his
latest Ohio visit, for he never said gold
standard, nor silver, nor 16 to l. He
also said in 1896 that the gold stand
ards "effects are so bad that no party
has dared to uphold it," and yet never
a word to any audience in Ohio by Mr..
Bryan against this terrible, irretriev-
ably bad thing. Was he honest in his
attack upon it four years ago, or in
his silence upon it now? Unceasing
warfare means continuous and relent-
less pursuit of the diabolical gold
standard in 1900 just the same as in
1896, and silence is insincerity at one
time or the other.

Another form of saving the surplus
earnings of the people is life insur-
ance. In Iowa alone this year the Of
fetal report shows in that single state
317,112 policies and insurance carried
amounting to S46S, ,4SS,543. The in
crease in policies for a year is 52,61S,
or nearly per cent, and in insurance
carried 500, ,129,473, or 121s per cent.
This means that more people have
means to carry life insurance to pro-
tect their families, but Bryan's sweep
ing war upon corporations might sooD
include every insurance company, for
the strongest are immense institutions.
