THE CENTURY co.,
UNION SOU ARE, NEW YORK,
BROKEN BRIC-A.BRACS.

Mr., Major. the famous cenle..i man. OF
New York. explains some very Interesting
facts abont Majors Cement.
The mu'titudes who Use this standard ar
ticle know that it is many hundred pei
cent. better than other cemcnts for which
similar claims are made. but II great ma'.y
do not know why The siInpl. reason is
that Mr. Major Uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not Use them, because they are TOO en-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements of
his cement costs 80 10 Il pound. and an.
other costs - 6j 4 gallon. while large
share of the SO-called dement's and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more
than sIXteen-cent glue. dissolved in water
or citric acid. and in some cases. altered
slightly in color and odor by the addition
of cheap and uSe,cS, ma. erialS.
Majors cement retails at fifteen and
twenty-five cents u bottle and when II
dealer tries to sell II substitute you can de
pend upon it that his only object is Ia make
larger profit.
The protit on Majors cement is rs muc Ii
rs any dealer ought TO lurke on ANY cement.
And this is donbiv true in view OF the fact
that each dealer gets his III IRE of the Ieue-
tit of Mr. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over $4,000 II month, throughout
the country. Es'ab ished in 1876.

If Mr.. Bryan really believes that
imperialism is the "paramoMnt issue
why could he not, for the hope of
Democratic Success, have dropped
the rs to foolishness ard let the
Kansas City convention have its
way? The strongest sentiment of
the convention was against 1.-THE
ablest and the most conservative
leaders of the real Democracy
opposed it-but it was Bryan and
''free silver or nothing and the con-
vention took Bryan with the 10 to-I
sinker attached to his candidacy.
The Brattleboro Reformer tells how
Bryan carried his point:
"Thc decisive votes in the plat
form committee were cast by dele
gates from five territories having no
voice in the presidential election
Arizona, Indian Territory, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Hawaii.
Without them the vote would have
been 2. to I9 against the plank. OF
these 70 not one was from a doubt

depends. Eight were from the
hopelessly Republican states ,owa,
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, Oregon, North Dakota, Yer
mont and Washington-where the
ambition be to in with the dispensers
of patronage in case of victory con-
trolls ideas. Only four reliably
Democratic states--Alabama, Ar
kansas, Missouri and South Carolina
supported Bryan's demand. The
states voting for the plank cast only
I4S electoral votes-lcss than one
third of the whole number, and Of
these only IS can by any possibility
be Democratic.
