IN SOCIETY.

A notable event in society was the
wedding of Mr.. George Edward Water
house and Miss Lou Bayless Helm
bright, which took place al
the Wesley NJ. E. church last
evening at $3.50 o'clock. The GER
emory was performed by the pastor,
Rev. Gregory Bleakley, in the presence
of a large congregation of the admir-
ing relatives and friends of the prin-
cipals. The bridal party entered the
church to the tender strains of the
Lohengrin wedding march, which was
played by Miss Eta Roberts. The
bride was attired in white organdie
and wore a bridal veil. She carried
a bunch of white roses and presented
a very charming appearance. The
bridesmaids, Miss Maud Helmbright,
a sister of the bride, and Miss Eva
Bayless, an. aunt of the bride, were
dressed in pink organdie and carried
punches of pink roses. Miss Charlotte
Waterhouse, a sister of the groom,
was the flower girl. She wore a dress
of white lace and carried a basket OF
white and pink roses. The ushers were
Messrs. Will Boycott, Albert Cum
bingham, Walter Bryson, Frank Bry-
son, Will Cunningham and George
Bowers.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
the bridal party was driven to the
home of the bride at No. so T~hirty-frst

wishes for the future. The evening
was devoted to social enjoyment and
delectable refreshments were served,
1t was a pink and white wedding and
the decorations were lavishly and
ta%stefully displayed. The interior OF
the church was embellished in palms
and pink and white plants and the re-

Chicakasaw marriage license to white

1t will be seen BIZ an examination OF
the tables that in every article Of farm
production named there has been an in
crease in price ranging with single ex-
ception) from 80 per cent to 6S per cent,
Tor an average increase in the entire SEE
ries Of articles Of 45.S per cent.
In the list Of the articles Of farm con-
sumption there is a reduction in price
in two Of the articles named, while the
increase in the other articles ranges much
lower than that Of the farm products,
the average increase for the entire series
Of articles OF farm consumption being
10 per cent.
Thus we see that in ten representative

those who are tired Of hard

tell you that the gold standard
lowers the price of products of
him who sells without lower
ing his taxes or debts. II you
ask how the gold standard af-
fects the lahoring men. we re-
ply that it destroys the oppor-
tunity for labor. muftipiies the
number OF idle men, and fills
our streets with those anxious
for work, who cannot find the
opportunity. The gold stan
dard, by Increasing idleness,
brings poverty to th1se who
ought to have enough and to
spare.
he gold standard means a
dearer dollar and fallin z
prices, and falling prices mean
hard times.
If we have q gold standard,
prices are as certain to fa'i as
stone which Is thrown into
the air.
An American dollar will buy
two Mexican dollars and also
about two bushels of wheat at
the same time. There was a
time when an American dollar
would buy only one Mexican
dollar, and then an American
dollar would buy only one
bushel of wheat III the time
ever comes when an American
dollar will buy three Mexican
dollars, then it will buy three
bushels of wheat.

slightest prospect of foreign
war we would suspend gold
payments, and go either to q

with strong probability Of Nebraska
unless State pride is extremely strong
joining them. It is hoped to make up this
loss by carrying Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. Any one who knows Illinois poll
tics realizes thatit is naturally Repub-
liean State, and has gone Democratic
only once in forty years, and that when
the business elements were favorable to
the Democratic candidates.
The same is to be said Of Ohio, with
the added statement that it has never
given its electoral vote to Democratic
candidate for the Presidency since the
war. Indiana is the only close State, and
those who know it best believe that the
Democrats will not win there. In both
Illinois and Indiana, exceptionally strong
| men have been named as Democratic can
didates for Governor, and to an extent
they will aid Mr.. Bryan, but not enough
to overcome the sentiment held every
where against him by conservative and
| thoughtful people. All this apparent
hot TO cause a lessening Of the struggle
against him. 1t will not do in this contest
| to simply prevent his having a majority
in the Electoral College by giving Presi-

DECISIVE DEFEAT FOR BRYAN.
What ought to be accomplished is the

of such vagaries as he entertains obtain

plea that is put forth by some men Of
ability that he can be rendered harmless
before election by the enactment OF new
laws is hardly craftsmanship. Why place
| q man in the Presidency whom you must
virtually put under bonds TO keep the
| peace!
| Mr. Bryan has so grieyously wronged
| the Democratic party that no Democrat
who really wishes to see the party get
back into public confidence ought to aid
and abet him at this time. He would de-
stroy the country's currency system if he
could by substituting the silver standard.
! Why give him Endorsement in that deter
mination? He would abrogate the right
| of private contract, overturn the tradi-
tions, practices, and high position of the
| Supreme Court, and make impossible the
quick and effective maintenance of public
order in times of excitement and stress.
| Why make it possible for him to even
undertake so much that is revolutionary
even though he fail in it all?

and which has been widely discussed IN
the study Of national economic questions
Of late years. Why not measure by thisi
a glance at the table which shows the
relative prices of articles in 1886 and
1900 will answer this question. It hap
pens that the percentage OF increase IN
the price Of wheat is less than that OF
any other article Of farm production,
since wheat is more directly affected by
the production in other parts Of the world
where crops have been generally good
during the last two seasons.
Wheat has only advanced 80 per cent
from 1896 to 1900. while corn advanced
As per cent, mess pork 60 per cent. lard
68 per cent and wool 6S, per cent. Now
1t il easy to see why the Democrats
happened to select this particular item
wheat" by which to measure every thing
else. simply because it shows a smaller
increase in price than almost any other
article in the list.
Yet they are grayely marching through
the agricultural regions Of this country
stating to the farmer that "a bushel OF
wheat in 1900 will buy less Of the articles
which you consume than bushel Of
wheat would buy Of those same articles
in 1896. Let us accept the challenge.

The Democratic fault-Gnders base their
efforts to create discomfort among the
farmers in 1900 upon a different plane
from that Of 1896. Then their complaint
was that the prices Of farm products
were TOO low Now they complaih that
! the farmers are too prosperous ind the
prices of their products are too high.
Mr.. Bryan was nominated in Chicago
on July 10, 1896, and again at Kansas
City on July 5, 1900. Let us take the
quotations OF the first week in July,
1896, and July, 1900, the respective dates
are brought as nearly as practicable to-
the dates of his respective nominations
Nobody will question the fairness OF

the New York market, 6414c per bushel,
and on July 5, 1900, was S8c per bushel.
Now let us follow the same general
plan adopted in the other comparisons
and by selecting ten principal articles OF
farm consumption, obtain their relative
prices in the New York market in 1896
and 1000, at the dates nearest Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination, and thus find out what
quantity of each bushel of wheat, at the
prices named at these two dates would
have bought. The articles of farm con-
sumption selected for this comparison are
equally representative with those Of farm
production above named, namely, sugar.,
coffee, petroleum, rice, salt, leather, cot
ton cloths, starch, mackerel and cut nails.
The authority for the prices is the same
as that already utilized-the bureau Of
statistics. 9s5
In every case the quantity of these
representative articles Of farm con-
sumption which a bushel of wheat
would buy in 1900 is greater than a
busheI of wheat could have bought
in 1890.
