Diyidends nnd frOsperiIy.

The Daily stakeholder of New York
has published statement which shows
that dividends to the amount of $751;
OOO, 900 were paid by different railway
and manufacturing concerns. On Oc-
tober 1, 1896, the same combines paid
S35, 100000. The difference in the earn
ings means that more men were en-
ployed, more wages paid and that the
farmers had more supplies to furnish
TO the army of wage-earners. 1t is a
case of prosperity all around.

in Michigan since January l, 1897, is the
remarkable showing in recent canvass
made by the state department of labor.

perity argument that cannot be gainsaid.

He is one of the best officers the county
ever had, is a clean, honorable young
man, and has fairly earned a big vote.
The silver board of supervisors has never
been able to find an improper item in his
bills, and his claims have never been cut.

he should not be reelected.

You Got It. Hi You Asked For.

You got it. 1t has increased with
marvellous rapidity for four years.
You demanded that one dollar be
just as good as another.
You got it. That is the kind we
have now, and you can get all the
gold, silver or paper you want at any
bank.
You demanded the markets of the
world for your surplus products and
goods.
You got it. Got it so suddenly it
almost dazzled you.
You wanted us to stop borrowing
money in Europe.
We stopped it, and Europe is now
borrowing money from us.
You wanted the government to col
lect every dollar of the Pacific railroad
debt, instead of a portion, as Mr..
Cleveland proposed.
Mr.. Mckinley made them pay every
cent, principal and interest.
You wanted Cuba liberated.
1t is done.
You wanted the rights of our peo-
pie maintained at home and abroad.
1t has been done.
What you really wanted the worst
was what Mr.. Mckinley promised:
IAN HONEST DOLLAR AND A CHANCE
TosEARN IT."
You got both. Not from the Bryan
ties, but it was none the less accept
able to the man behind the dinner
bucket.
If you want more things of this sort
you can get them from the same
source.

The party of which Abraham Lincoln
is the candidate and representative,
though protesting fealty to the union, is
its most dangerous foe. The facts of its

dictated by cold, subtitle and calculating

BY arrogating to himself powers not

Mr.. Lincoln has exercised, or attempted
to exercise, a despotic power over the
people such as only the emperor of Aus

stitution is a league with death and a
covenant with hell.-Colonel Gray of De

1t is probable that the senate con-

strongly for everything that is regarded
essential in the senate bill. The effort
of the house conferees, overstreet (rep..

and Cox (dem.), of Tennessee. Will be
to secure If possible some Of the feat
ures Of the house measure that are re-
garded by them as better than parts
of the senate bill. A compromise Is
certain, but members OF both commit-
tees agree that the principles sought
to be embodied in the law win be a.
