Cincinnati, Nov. 2O.-'This bank is
closed by order of the comptroller of
the currency. o. 2. TUCKER,
National Bank Examiner"
This was the notice placed on the
doors of the stately building of the
German National bank of Newport,
Ky, before the time for opening. The
salient facts of the cause of the no.
tice had been known since Sunday
morning and, therefore, there were
none Of the usual scenes accompanying
a run on the bank by depositors. The
alleged Gefaication of Assistant Cash
er Frank M. Brown to the amount Of
about 100000 was a fact so over
whelming that no depositor was fool
ish enough to suppose that any good
could be accomplished by attempting
to get money from the bank at pres

In recent speech before the New
York Wholesale Dry Goods club Gen
eral Lloyd L. Jackson of Baltimore
said:
Il supported Mr.. Bryan in 1896.
organized Bryan meetings in Baltimore
on the same plan that the New York
men are holding daily meetings for
Mckinley. l merely mention this to
indicate that l was the stanchest of
Democrats, yet on election night, when
l learned that Mckinley had been
elected, said l would take off my hat
to him If he did what he had promised
to do. He has done it, and have TAX
en- off my hat to him. l shall work for
him and vote for him. | cannot see
why the business men Of the country
should regard this question as polit-
zeal question. II is "A business ques-
ton, more SO than any of the technical
questions of business which arise daily
My business interests require that l
should support the present admins
tration, and my interests are no diff
ferent, as concerns this question, from
the interests of all the other business
men of the south. Mckinley will carry
Maryland by not less than 10000"

aonthern Cotton MINIS.

Notwithstanding the falling off in
the export Of the coarser and cheaper
cotton fabrics on account of the inter-
ruption Of trade with China, there is
evidence OF continued increase Of
cotton mills In the south. Reports for
the month OF September show that six
new factories Ave in Georgia and one
In North Carolina, were on the point of
completion. They represent an invest
ment Of $T35,00 and contain total
OF $4,000 spindles and S81 looms Be
sides these, II other mills are projected
and under way, which win cost over
$1.O0O,00O and have capacity Of 53.-
900 spindlas.

bought from hans to mouth. They
said, "Let the manufacturer hold the
goods and suffer" Buyers for firms
were threatened with discharge if they
bought quantities. Merchants had no
faith in the then governments bust
ness policy.
Has Mr.. Bryan's party or parties any
business policy? Consider: The bust
ness contraction of six years ago led to
a wholesale cutting of wages. Don't
you remember?
Wages are the first item in the bust
ness economy to be cut. They are the
last item to rise. That Is an axiom.
Don't forget 1t.
1t isn't because there are not able,
respectable, patriotic and brilliant
Americans in Mr.. Bryan's parties that
they should be refused power now, but
because they have no business policy
upon which they can agree as a unit.
Don't you see?
1t is as necessary for the government
of the United States to be dominated
by a harmonious business unit in its
conduct as 1t is for firm Don't you
see?
Beware an excuse for cutting wages.
Another Appeal to Wage Farmers.
Mr. II. P. Jones, an old soldier, writes
as follows: 'Mr. Bryan and the parties
he represents stand only for free silver
and free trade. 1t was not your fault
Sbo+ NO., ~-yoro fooIad a., 1000 l1,,+ n fto,.
the bitter experiences you passed
through you will act with open eyes
and full knowledge of the past, and the
result will be your fault-that is, If you
are to be caught by the same 'chaff
and humbug that lured you away from
protection In 1892 The result will be
much more disastrous and last longer
than before, for the man they ask you
to support is a Democrat only so far
as free trade makes him one. In ev-
erything else he is a Populist of the
highest degree.
Put on your thinking caps and
brush aside all of these 'bunko' issues
of a military Imperialism in a nation Of
nearly S0,000000 people and an army
OF less than 100000 all told. Remem-
Der that the men who are closest to
Mr.. Bryan are the silver mine owners,
who are inspired by but one sentiment
the recovery of the contract with our
government for the purchase of silver
bullion with its free coinage-and who
look to Mr.. Bryan as being the Moses
who will lead them out of the wilder
ness. The wage earners Of this country
can elect or defeat any one they COM
bine upon or against, and the result of
the coming election rests largely in
your hands. The paramount issue for
the wage Garner is bread and butter
for himself and those depending upon
his labor. On which party can you de-
pend which has shown itself the tru-
est and best friend and which is it SAT.
