Mankind upon a cross

"Nor press his brow with thorns,
Nor tread upon his corns
When he is old"
He said: "No fires will burn,
No wheels. no spindles turn,
Without my hand

Dictator of the realm,
Chief Of the band"
He said 'the metal white
Is strictly in the fight
IT lugged it I'M.
We're on free silver bent,
WICnout the worlds consent
And it will win"
The voters heard him shout,
Then straighCway went about
20 give him fits;
They said I'VE want no stuff
Half money and half bluff,
A dollar worth four bits"
It took his breath away
When tho people had their say

But he's got his second wind,
Thinks he'll not again be skinned;

The following statistics will shoW how
much truth there is in the howl raised
by the democrats and populists alleging
that there haslbeen no such thing as
prosperity during the present admins,
tration. That horses have decreased in
value is understood by all Mountainous,
the fact being that the state during the
past few years has Teen 'long' on buzz
therefor, eau sidg the valuation to decline
at least so per cent. These statistics are
official, having been compiled by the De
partment of Agriculture, and are inter
esting as a comparison between the last
administration OF Cleveland and the
present one under republican guidance.
The democrats will say of course that
politics has nothing to do with these
valuations, but at the same time would
have us believe that if they could get in
power, every thing would boom, and
when business booms, do not valuations
increase? Note then, the increase under
republican control OF affairs, 81 per cent
in Montana aud nearly 80 per cent for
the whole United States, during four
