Bulls and Bears.

A man who would be "bull'' or a "bear'
ought to be a sheep. The ''bears" and "bulls"
have the best time of anybody on earth, except
the corporation attorney. The "bears" and
''bulls" toll not; neither do they spin-in the
sense that they add anything to the sum of
usefulness to society. In another sense, they
spin and toll till their hands cramp and their
backs ache. They spin webs in which they
catch the earnings of their fellow men; and of
course they toll when thev push with their
horns or hug with their paws.
AS far as am able to learn, their mode of
operations is 20 agree that the price OF com
modify in view shall not be pushed above a
certain point They then choose sdes-buls
on one side, bears OH the other. When the
bears hug right tight there is a slump to-day.
Tomorrow, the bulls will call in reinforce
ments, and push with all their might, and then
there will be a bulge. There are several other
terms to cover advances and declines, but slump
and bulge are favorltes.
The aim of the bears is to hug the price till
the producer will lose money, and the aim Of
the bulls is to keep the price high enough to
fool the producer into believing that he can
still keep out of the poor-house.
No matter what it costs to raise an article,
the bulls, bears and Mckinley providence are
the sole factors in determining price. 1t may
cost dollar to raise wheat but the bulls and
bears can fix the maximum at sixty Cents-say
in Chicago. Chicago price controls prices at
all points where wheat is delivered for trans
portation If the railroads are bearlsh, or
hoggish (and they are always bearish or hog
gish), then wheat may run as low as thlrty-hve
cents, to the producer.
Sometimes man will try to be big bull,
like Joseph Letter; and in that case, there is
"comet," and the bears not in it; neither
is the producer; for when comet is run, it
is when the producers have about sold the crop.
Big bullishness, as general thing, doesn't
pay, and most of the big bulls come to grief
AS to Mckinley providence, I'll be dod-gasted

"FOllOW Thou Me"

The above Was the subject at the prayer
meeting of one of our churches on Wednesday
evening of last week.
To follow Jesus is the pth OF all the Bible
teachings TO follow Jesus is the pith of IN
dividual duty. 1t should not be forgotten that
Jesus is the one who is to be followed, and that
'thou" art required to do the following, Your
position is to be follower, not leader. You
are to follow His steps, and not lun off OH side
tracks. His charachter, His teachings, His
devotion to right, you are to follow. You are
not to do this only on the Sabbath, but on
every day Of the week You are to do this in
the home, in the church and in the state.
You are to do this if you are a Republican, a
Democrat, Populist, Piohibitlonist, Silver
Republican or Socialist. If you cannot sup
port any of these parties and at the same time
follow Jesus, then you must get out of the par
ty. Where Jesus does not lead, you have no
business to be. II Jesus is not Immediately
ahead and you Immediately behind, you are not
where you belong. great many Christians
have been following their party, such as the
Republicans are following Mckinley, when
the party Is entirely out of sight of any range
with Jes,ls The pith of thy duty is to follow
esus J ID.

jim KEENE FOR BRYAN.

"Gath," the editor of the Verdict, New York.
says Jim Keene, the Wall street wizard, who
gave $40, 900 to the Mckinley campaign fund
in 1896, is betting on Bryan this year. Gath
continues as follows:
1.-The people of this country" said Mr..
keene to me in recent conversation, "must
arouse themselves. The coming election is of
more Importance, from the standpoint of a pure
and true Amercanism, than any that has trans
pired since the second election of Lincoln.
Money is in the saddle. 1t is riding down the
institutions of this country with a confident
nsolence that tells of its own invincibility. It
is running the government to-day in its every
branch and arm. If moneys power in mould
ing public affairs goes forward for four wears
more, as it has for four years past, the name of
American Liberty will only be worth a recollec-
ton as matter of history. Money is pressing
the people backward step by step. What is to
be the end! 1t 1t goes on there are as matters
trend, but two solutions. One is Socialism and
the second is revolution. The American peo.
pie must defend themselves from money, lust as
they once guarded their forest frontiers from
the savage. Unless they come solidly shoulder
to shoulder for their rights, and come at once.
Bunker Hill will have been blunder. YORK.
town mistake"
When man worth twenty millions, and one
who tor quarter of century has stood in the
very heart and war center of money, conquer
ing fortune for himself; when such man be.
gins to talk like that, he's apt to prove inn
pressive Also, he's not apt to be alone. The
thoughts voiced by Mr. Keene have occurred TO
hundreds of others, in corners of existence little
dreamed of, and it all points to movement and
an effect in November not fattering to the
present administration.

UNEXPECTED TESTIMONIAL.

'Gath" the noted newspaper correspondent,
in his last letter, gives bankers opinion of the
Populist national convention, which is SO just
and fair and so different from partisan prejudice
of the average Republican, that we reproduce it
in full, as follows:
sat down with banking man lately to dis
cuss the Populist convention at Sioux Falls.
The hnancier said to me: 81 have read that
platform at Sioux Falls, and it seems to me
coherent and we'll stated. AS to government
owership of the railroads, that is what exists in
Germany, Russia and France. Besides, our
railroads are rapidly concentrating into one
government that will require the general gov.
ernment to come in some time. In fact,
the present railroad system is being pre-
pared, insensbly, for government supervision,
and the railroads themselves will presently jJin
the Populists in that request. One of the best
things about the Sioux Falls convention was
the manifest patriotism of everybody in it.
Although the possession of the government was
the object Of the convention, it showed no sign
of rebellion. AS to the I6to-1 proposition
that is perhaps necessary to be maintained for
Bryan to hold his ascendancy. The condition
of silver in its relation to our currency is almost
what the Populists expect already. We have
nearly 500 millions of silver certificates and
silver coins in circulation now. In fact we have
mole. We had 5o2 millions of silver in the
treasury and 62 millions of silver in circulation
last year, and we have just authorized 100 mil
lions more of bank notes, and our per capita is
something like $50. The mere assertion of Io
to does not mean much, but the administra
ton will use every effort to prove its opponents
repudiators.
"Yet, think the local causes are going to
carry the national ticket in many places. New
York city, which surrounds the stock exchange
and the clearing house, will not give any less
majority for Bryan than before, and Brooklyn
can be classed the same way. If Mckinley had
kept his standard up and not wobbled and then
shed maudin tears when his tricks were pap-
able, he might fear no Bryan. The newness
has worn off Mckinley, and this eternal sub
sidising of every new interest anG pulling the
leg of congress from the White House are
giving us in the banks annoyance enough. Mark
Hanna came to New York the last time as rustic
country quantity. Since then he has developed
as boss over the president, and as we did not
mean to elect Hanna to anything when we
contributed our money, we think that his col
lections from us had personal motive AS far
as can see, the fnanciers are going to let the
nee ple decide this conflict without attempting
to buy their votes.''

Life.

One of the encouraging signs of the times is
the continued agitation and the resultant fric-
ton. Agitation and contention are the evil
dence of vigorous life. The attempt to throttle
republican institutions is meeting with sturdy
resistance. All is not lovely in the camp of
the enemy. Pingree Republicans are being
multiplied by the score. New Hampshire s
Ohio, in vigorous kick at the Bosses The
Republican party, like the Democratic, was

fords only weeds and cactus for pasture Sooner
or later, the liberty-loving Republicans will
join hands with the new party. Little by little,
the fog is lifting. The old standard is recog-
nized in new place, and in new hands, but is
none the less Old Glory, with every principle
of human rights in letters that can never grow
