ARE SOLDIERS TO BE
PAID IN SlLvER7
A Pertinent Inquiry from an Old
Soldier Still Unanswered.

In Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance,
No. l, he said that il he was elected to
the Office of President of the United
States e November that as soon as he
was in%augurated he would Immediately
call an extra session of Congress and
give freedom to the inhabitants Of the
Philippine Islands and recall the army Of
the United States, which would include
the bringing home of the STARS and
Stripes"
II elected President of the United
States Mr.. Bryan will become command
er-in-chief Of the army. This being the
case,
Will Mr.. Bryan pay the soldiers of the
United States of America in silver?
1t is very important that the soldiers
Of the American army understand this
matter clearly and distinctly as to what
Mr.. Bryan's intentions are in the matter.

Relates One Of His Experiences as Jus.
tice Of the Peace.
(By William Z. Anderson.)

eyes, you are right, Jonathan, Mr..
Bryan will do good to his own party
talking about political equality, liberty
and the rights of man, for it was always
hard for his friends to make such things
work in this country among the Ameri-
can-born colored citizens. But it is a
little late to do any good in those States
where Mr.. Bryan will get nearly all the
votes cast. No. you are wrong. Jona-
than. The very many kvotations he
makes from Washington, Lincoln and
others isn't quite a case of the Devil
kvoting. scripture 1t goes a long way
ahead of that and just fits the ease I
am about to tell you.
During my term as justice of the
peace in this town we had a great deal
of trouble with tramps. They used to
get into the school houses to sleep and
at last they got so bold, a school house
wasn't good enough for them. They be-
a to profane the churches. Big .Jo-
names, neighbor Smiths son, was con-
stable and he at last arrested a gang in
the Methodist church down there. He
had not much experience, you see; and a
schmart lawyer from the village was up
before me to defend them. That man
really was a fine pleader; and us he knew
the Bible kvotations we'll, he made a good
impression IN the court. He said that
his friends, the defendants, went from
the school houses to the church to get
religion; and that the Lord was where
two or three We're gathered together in
His name,' and so on. Then he pulled
out the notes of Il sermon which he got

Urge. All to Work for Mckinley.

Now you do yours. Do yours by not
only depositing your vote for Mckinley,
but get as many Of your neighbors who
are undecided upon these questions, per-
haps for want Of knowledge, as you can,
to vote as you do; make it your business
to secure n more vote for the President
of the United States, and that small effort
will put us on a perfectly safe basis.
Won't you do that much for your family?
Won't you do that much for the national
good? Haven't you pride enough to do
that much for the national honor, integ-
rity, and the flag? Voices: Eyes, yes.")
All right, then do it. Good-by.

The one supreme test of prosperity is
the money in the bank. This is a self
evident truth. If a mans family is we'll
clothed and fed and in n comfortable
home, and besides this he can put money
in the bank, it must be admitted that he
is prosperous.
In the following unparalleled showing
of the increase i'll the number Of deposits
Wilson bill regime in 1894 to the glorious
days of Mckinley prosperity, the most
marvellous of all is the increase in the
number of depositors and in the amount
of deposits in the savings banks of the
country. These banks are particularly
the one where the wage earners of the
country put their savings.
Mr.. Bryan says the people are not pros
porous. So say all his calamity follow
crs. We commend to them the following
official figures from the report Of the
Comptroller of the Currency Of the Unit
ed States for 1890. They are unanswer-

Since the Democratic days of 1894 there
has been an increase of 2,1O9,547 bank
depositors in the whole United States.
This number more people have had
money to deposit during Mckinley pros
perity.
The total amount of money deposited
to the credit of the people was $2,874,-
5S9,4O6 in 1894.
In 1899 it was $4,6OS, O96, OO5. showing
an increase of almost one and three-auar-
ter billions of dollars to the credit of the
people who had bank accounts in the five
years since the country was suffering the
agonies of a Democratic administration.
Not only has there been this vast in
crease in the aggregate amount of money
placed in the banks, but the average
amount of each bank account has in
creased from $500, in 1891, to an average
of $GO2 per bank account in 1899.
Who will say that the promises of the
Republican party have not been fulfilled?
Who will say that the advance agent of
prosperity has not visited the American
people under the Republican administra-
ton Of President Mckinley?

His death had been expected for some
days, and loving friends gave him their
unremitting care and attention to the
end. The immediate cause of death was
described as brain exhaustion, incident
to extreme weakness, due to old age, and
to several attacks of sickness from which
he had suffered for the past year and a
half.
Since Saturday afternoon Mr.. Sherman
had been for the most of the time un-
conscious, rallying partially at intervals
