Trying To Fool The Farmers.

What does the Republican party do
to help the farmers? Has it any means
OF raising the price of what he has to
Sell:-Bryan to Virginia farmers.
Yes, Mr.. Bryan. it has, and very eff
tclent means. 1t is called Protective
Tariff, more specifically the Dingley
law. 1t helps the farmer. because it
inSures a home market. and a home
market raises the price of wheat the
farmer has to sell.
You we'll know, Mr.. Bryan, that the
farmer sells 90 per cent. of his product
at home. In many cases he sells his
whole product at home. If his cOun-
trymen are working and getting good
wages they want all he can raise, and
when that is the case he gets more for
his product than where there is no
demand for it.
DOyOu know Ofanything, Mr. Bryan,
which the farmer produces that is not
higher in price than when the Wilson
law, which you helped to frame, was
in operation?
Wool is twice as high. Sheep and
lambs bring three and four times as
much. Cotton, tobacco, wheat and all
kinds Of grain and provisions arc much
higher. 1t would be waste
of time to show that farm pro-
ducts have increased in value. The
farmers well know it, Mr.. Bryan, and
you know it, too. What has cancelled
the mortgages?
Why, Mr.. Bryan, the Free-Trade
law which you helped to make brought
d loss of S4. 2S3. 000,0 in farm products,
while the Dingley law has brought an
increase in value to the amount of
S6, $50, 900, 600, and yet you ask: Has
the Republican party any means of
raising the price Of what the farmer
has to Sell?"
Carp at the full dinner pail if you
will, Mr.. Bryan, but the farmer, who
fills 1t with bread and butter and eggs
and ham and potatoes and cheese and
cake and pie, does not Sneer at it, for
it means Is or 20 cents to him more
than the empty pail, and 10000, ,0G0
full pals 300 days in year means
s.. 600, 100000.
Oh, yes, Mr.. Bryan, the Republican
ing the price of wheat the farmer has
to SELL
When the dinner pail is full the lunch
counter is loaded. and the dining tabl e
is heaped with not only neceSSarieS
but luXurieS., And the breakfast table
and the supper table contribute their
share, too. Don't you know it Mr..
Bryan, that we eat twice as much
under Protection as we do under Free
Trade? That is the means we have
of raising the price of what the far
mer has to sell,

a Novel PerSOnaQe,

around, bent on seeing all che pretty
places in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
declares it his intention to visit Grand
Rapids in the near future. DR.. Chris
tiOn is quite noted parsonage, and
was sent to this country last month,
by the French government for the
purpose Of bringing back little girl
of seven years who saved a train in
Indiana on which "a French EmbaSSade
was iourneying. The train was COM
posed Of sixteen coaches. At its
approach the child stood on the track
waving her little cheCkered apron and
when it stopped, the engine was only
a few inches from the girl. About
five feet ahead the people perceived
the wreck of bridge which had
burned during the night.
The Americans on board satisfied
their gracious feelings towards the
child by contributing generously of
their means, until her little apron
was 0verflOwing with money. But
the one Frenchman on there on tell
ing his story in France found the
people so overjOyed that a pension
was secured for the girl and the sum
of ten thousand francs bestowed on
her. DR.. ChriStion the first Of No
vember will take the little one to his
native land to be presented to nOtableS
there.
Dr. Christion when in Grand Rapids
will deliver a lecture on beauty. This
is his usual custom. He charges no.
thing as admittance fee, but does this
for the benefit of American ladies
whom he considers sadly IN need of such
things. He will disclose many of the
partisan secrets of beauty and it would
behOve our ladies to take advantage CT
this opportunity.

berance from him by the Prince of

A Sure Phenomena.

John j. Ryan, a very successful life
insurance agent. who has been stopping
at the Commercial for some time is an
unique specimen Of his kind. The
chief characteristic of men in this bus
mess seems to be their habit of con-
stantly harping on the time worn
subject of money properly invested,
until men and women Shun their
notice-turn comes to escape them
and feel like ''crawling into hole and
pulling it after them" if brought unex-
pectedly face to face with the tor
mentor. But Mr.. Ryan sits quietly
at his desk and attends to business,
and leaves in peace those about him.
An example which a good many others
would do we'll to copy. When solicit
ing customers he goes to those who
are likely to insure and leaves the
indiScriminate unavailable speech to
others.
Mr.. Ryan represents the Phoenix
Mutual Life insurance company of
Hartford Connecticut.

Appleton Priest Declines to Marry Pair on
a Hunters License.

Appleton. Wis. Sept. % AS
George Doerfler and Mrs. ThaeSa
Steidl stood before the altar last night
at st. JOseph's church preparatory to
being married the priest demanded
the necessary license. The groom
thereupon handed him large paper
with a big official sheet attached to it,.
The priest glanced over it and then
at the couple with an amused look on
his face. H. explained to the groom
that the document he held in his hand
was legal permit to hunt during
the open game season. The groom
was dumfounded and the wedding was
delayed until this morning when a
more conventional permit was secured.
The mistake occurred in an old man
ner. The county clerk has lately
made out great number of hunters
licenses and when Mr.. DOerfier re-
Gently came into his office, the clerk
asked if he wished q license. Upon
his replying in the affirmative hunt
er's license was made out for him.
He did not examine the paper and
discovered his mistake only at the
altar.

Cullen could identify the money any

possession a peculiar piece of money.

exchanged a five dollar bill for his
shining friend, whom he was very
glad to meet again.
