The farmers Tribune, of Des

democrats alike should read and
ponder the provisions of the con-

this new belief to grow and gain
possession of the minds of the
people is imperialism.
"We are convinced that the wri-
ter of the above article, errs only
in assuming that the people as q
whole are back of this new attitude
assumed by the president. His
associations among the wealthy
classes of the east may have had
him to think SO, but he would find
that such are not the sentiments
of the rank and file of either party.
It is the commercial interests, to-

need be followed by no disturbance of
our present financial system.

If they doubt Schurz they ought
not to doubt the Administrations
minister of finance, Secretary Gage
He should be the best possible au-
thority on that subject. Not long
ago the secretary voluntarily deliv-
cred himself of the following opin-
ion of how the law would bv made
to operate in case of Bryan's cleo
ton. We quote the secretary's
views which should allay the fears
of the financial and business in
terests" of Wall street:
81 am satisfied that the new law
establishes the gold standard be-
yond assault unless it is deliber-
ately violated. 1t makes no differ
ence to anybody whether he is
paid in gold or silver so long as
the two metals circulate at par
with each other and are received on
deposit by the banks without dis
elimination. What difference
would it make to me il / held some
bonds and Mr.. Bryan should di-
rect his secretary of the treasury
to sort out some of his stock of sill
yer dollars for the purpose of re-
daeming the bonds, would l not
immediately deposit the silver in
my bank and draw checks against
| it, just as 1 would if the secretary
had exercised the more rational
policy of paying me with sub
treasury check? In the event Of
Mr.. Bryan's election l think the
gold standard would be resolutely
maintained SO long as the law re-
mains on the statute books.-Clin-

A ElckLE IMMIGRANT.

Her Experience With Two Lovers at
Uncle SAINTS barge once.
'.There seem to be manifold oppor-
tunities among the immigrants coming
to America on shipboerd for falling in
love, particularly on the slower steam
ers. when people are thrown together
for a period of from IL to 1S days."
says John Gilmer Speed in Ainslee's.
"In this case q worthy young Russian
was cheated out Of very pretty bride
by q likely Italian fellow traveller Of
the maiden. Strangely enough. she
knew not one word Of italian nor he
word of Russian. yet the BRIDES
countryman was Tilted, and the panto-
mime lovers were married and set
forth gayly and confidently to learn
each other and the great new world
they had entered at one and the same
time.
"Another case was equally ludicrous.
A Swedish maiden of somewhat fickle
mind fell in love with fellow voy-
ager without apprising him Of the fact
that she was betrothed to another man
whom she was to meet at the barge
Office and marry. It was her intention
TO hurry ashore with her new lover
and outwit the former by prior cere-
mony, but the red tape of the Office
prevented that, and the first lover came
to welcome his bride. She then as
promptly fell in love with No. 1. But
when No. 2 pleaded and threatened.
she could not decide which one she
loved the better. so she was detained
while the two men haunted the barge
Office. glaring ut each other.
"When the detention time had elaps-
ed, the bride. still not knowing her
mind, was sent unceremoniously back
on the same steamer that brought her
over. both Tilted lovers abandoning the
field in despair. But on arriving on
her native soil once more the maiden
dared not face her people, SO back she
came, having just money enough to
pay her passage, and sent for lover No.
1, declaring that she loved him the bet
ter. He replied that he was very mucl,
obliged, but as he had already married
a handsomer girl in the interval he was
compelled to decline to come for her.
The maiden then sent word to No. 2 to
like effect. but he declared that he had
had enough Of the fickle feminine. and
thus In defeat the maiden was trans
ported back again to face the leers and
1eers of her native hamlet"
