How the Farmer Gained,

Never in American history was the
situation Of the American farmer as
distressing as when the Republican
party met In convention in June,
1896. Business confidence was gone,
labor was idle, capital retired, farm
values shrunken, and the sheriff with
his foreclosed mortgage sales the on
y active msn in rural communities.
That convention, planting itself
squarely upon the side Of national
honor and business integrity, nomi-
mated man whose whole life work
was summed up in his trenchant dec
laration, "Open American mills to
American workmen." With Mr..
Bryan's nomination the issue was
squarely joined and presented to the
American farmer for settlement, one
candidate offering a debased currency,
a cheap dollar; the other standing for
sound money, protection to American
industries and full employment for
labor at American wages.
The vote Of the great farming
states OF the west elected Mckinley,
and the statistics already presented
prove that rural prosperity foil owed.
The best showing of the change in
the condition Of the American farmer,
between the first nomination of Mr..
Mckinley and his renompation, is
simple statement Of the prices ruling
for farm staples at each date. 1t Is
an argument against the abandon.
ment of Republican policies which
cannot be met.
1t will be probably held in offset
that these matters are regulated
purely upon a basis Of supply and
demand. Very good. The farmers,
aided by the producers, furnish the
supply. The Republican administra.
lion, begetting confidence through
wisdom and progressiveness, creates
business, enlivens industry, employs
abor and thereby furnishes enlarged
iemand.

New Kind Of Straw Vote.

L. F. Utter, a popular commercial
traveller Of Kansas City, tells how
some hotels take straw votes. "At
every hotel that ! stopped during my
trip" said Mr.. Utter, II found new
combination register. At the top Of
each page this question is asked,
Who will you vote for, Mckinley or
BryanP Those who are for Mckinley
are supposed to sign their names in
the Mckinley column and vice versa

that the 16 to / ratio prevails-that
is, sixteen names appear in the Nc

The following from dispatch from
Denver tells how things are going in
Colorado: "Last Wednesday even
ing committee from Creole waited
upon Congressman Long and Govern
or Stanley, desiring them to address
a Republican meeting at Creole on
Friday evening. As they had made
arrangements to leave next day, it
was impossible to accept the invita-
ton. That county cast something
over 1920 votes four years ago, and
out Of the 1900 Mckinley received
only eleven. They already have a
Mckinley club Of over 800, and this
out Of a total OF somewhat less than
four years ago.

The official statement concerning
the railroads Of the United States fol
the years ending June 80, 1895, and
1899, is instructive. In this branch
Of American industry alone there has
been an increase Of $4,000 people
employed since the last Democratic
administration, and an annual in.
crease Of nearly s77,50O,oOO in wages
paid. Almost the whole of it was
additional money expended in pur.
chasing the products OF our farms and
factories. The increase Of 1858, 900, 900
tons Of freight carried by the roads
gives an idea Of the extent that bust.
ness has been improved.

His Prophecy.

"lf Mckinley ana the Republican
party are successful and put in power
for the next four years, wages will be
decreased. Hard times will come
upon us and over the land. The
price Of wheat will 60 down and the
price of gold will 60 up. Mortgages
on our homes will be foreclosed by the
moneylenders. Shops and factories
will close. We will export no goods
and we will import from foreign
lands all the goods we use. Thus
will ruin, want and misery be with
us."-[William Jennings Bryan in
1896.

There was no parade and reception
when Levi Humbargar came home.
The last affair of the kind was when
Tom Kirby was nominated for state
treasurer on the Democratic ticket.
The boys got out the band aud some
transparencies and met him at the
Santa 'Fe. Kirby alighted and saw
the banner, $1,000 majority for Kirby
in Dickinson county," and was dis
pleased. He called the bearer to one
side. "See here" he exclaimed,
"why didn't you make it 2,OOOp" At
the election Dickinson went 500 for
the other fellow and then the man
who carried the banner called Kirby
aside. "See here" he asked, "don't
you think 1000 was about high
enoughp' Since then Abilene states
men have got no receptions.

John Breidenthal was born in Sib'
ley county, Minnesota, June 22, 1857
He moved in early life to place neal
Terre Haute, Ind, where at l6 years
he ran a small grocery store and took
a hand in politics. In 1877 he moved
to Kansas, settling on Labette coun.
ty farm; in 1880 he moved to Che.
topa as a real estate and loan agent.
He moved to Enterprise in 1892, when
he took part as secretary OF the
Topolobampo company. On Febru-
airy IS, 1898, he was appointed bank

place he has held ever since.

Lawrence Journal: How silly 1T is
for Mr.. Bryan or any other Populist
or any other Democrat to talk about
the crumbling Of the republic, the
disintegration OF the government,
the ruin of the nation, the crushing
out Of liberty and the coming Of en-
pire! Not a man with good sense
who hears that kind OF talk believes
it. No sane man who talks it believes
it. Do the speakers who teach it
think they are making their hearers
believe that the election OF Mckinley
means the downfall of the republic?
II they do, then they place too low an
estimate upon the intelligence Of the
American people. Such talk isn't
even joke. 1t is too silly for chill
dren's tales, and so absurd that it
would seem public speaker would
be ashamed to stand before an aud
fence and make such declarations.
Four years ago the same predictions
were made and the people rebuked
the false prophets, and there followed
their downfall three of the most pros
porous years the republic has ever
known. The people Of this country
are not fools. Bryan'S calamity wall
will fool fewer people this year than
it did four years ago.

out with club after the papers and
people who are determined to dub
every teacher "Prof." 1t is bad as

public ownership OF all the means of

means the public ownership Of almost
everything. Yet he is introduced to

the means Of production and distribu-

CYCLONE BILLS FEAT
A Faithful Historian of His Good
 Deeds.

The Republican, soon after the cleo uion, mentioned the narrowness by which Cyclone Bill escaped election to the offie of justice of the peace for Clifton precinct, Graham county. Cy- clone Bill is an eccentric character. He to have been a successful lawyer until, for reasons satisfactory to himself, he took up his residence in Arizona a great many years ago. He was one of the defendants in the WIham rob bery prosecutions.
 One night, near the close of the late campaign, Judge Kibbey, of Phoenix, and Colonel Egan, of Clifton, were sit ting in a drug store at Solomonville, when Mickey Hogan, a resident of Clifton, came in "Lookin' fir restau- rant where he could get something to eat fore goin' to bed"
 MT. Hogan was induced to take a reate, and jIhe conversation after while turned upon the candidacy of Cyclone Bill. ' -'-'
 "Cyclone Bill," said MT. Hogan, 'is a man who is not well understood. He may have committed all the crimes in the cathegory and has been in half jails in Arizona. He may be careless about runnin' his iron on other peo- ples cattle. Its no doubt thrue that they's no mavericks anywhere within forty miles O Bills range, and phwat f he was in the Wham robbery tho the coort says he wasn't. Ye niVer hear anythin' but the worst about Bill An phy don't his trajucers tell the many good deeds he's done?
