Bryan's Arguments RiddIed.

Mr.. Bryan, at st. Louis, laid down
seven general propositions as the basis
of his argument, not one of which will
hold water. He asked If young men
were safe when foreign or domestic
financiers are allowed to determine
our monetary system. But who should
determine our monetary system if not
financiers? That Is the financier's 8
business-the thing that he best knows
how to do. Who else should determine
it? Should 1t be intrusted to men
ignorant of finance? He asked if
it was safe for national banks to con-
troll the money of the country. Does
he prefer to go back to the old wild
cat'' state banks? He says that the
"bondholding class" determines the
size of the national debt. 1t does moth
determined by congress, which con-
sists of direct representatives of the
people, He also complains of the taxes.
| The taxes are also due to the action OF
the peoples representatives in con-
gress and the local municipal bodies
and not to the trusts. He grew more
demagogical as he proceeded and
charged that the senators were elected
by corporate influence, that govern
ment by injunction" was to be opposed
and that labOring men were denied the
privilege of arbitration, all of which
propositions are either untrue or indie
fensible. If this is the best that the
Democrats can do in the antitrust line
this latest flank movement of theirs
will prove no more formidable thar
their preceding attacks.

WEST VIRGINIA PROSPECTS.
Ereat Prosperity Everywhere, and

Ereat Prosperity Everywhere, and
the Voters Are For Mckinley.
Ex-COnsul General o. f. Williams
has been in West Virginia on a stump
ing tour, and he confirms the recent
reports of good Republican prospects
in that state. "The prosperity in West
Virginia" he reports to the national
committee, sis universal and truly
wonderful Mr.. Bryan, when he de-
cided to put out his calamity and pow
erty arguments on his West Virginia
tour, made n bad break. There is no
state in the Union more prosperous
than West Virginia. and the popula-
ton realize it and are happy about it
and propose to vote to continue the
party which is responsible for it. They
are aware that their prosperity is due
directly, in the first instance, to the
operation of the Republican party's
tariff legislation and to the duties on
coal, iron. etc.
'Mr. Bryan's poverty harangues
were often positively ridiculous. At
one town where he bewailed the mis-
cry of the Inhabitants, there were pla-
cards all over the streets advertising for
1000 wOrkmen to put up new buildings
and work on farms, etc. In another Of
these calamity stricken towns the ma
tiOnal bank of the place has at present
| $1,500,0O0 surplus which it Is trying to
lend at low rates.
''In MY travels through the state
was much struck by the fact that
there were no placards TO Rent or
For Sale on the houses. They were
all occupied. LII several places l saw
a lot of people living temporarily in
tents, because the house builders were
unable to keep up to the demands
of the immigrants for more new dwell
ings. This state of affairs no doubt
furnished the Democrats with n sug-
gestiOn and excuse for their recent cry
of Republican colonization. l met
only two Republicans who said they
We're going to vote for Bryan. One
was Il man who used to lend his money
at 10 and 20 per cent in Cleveland'S
administration, but has been only able
to get 4 or per cent in McKinley's
administration, and he wants harC
times to come again so as to get his
old Cleveland rates of interest. ThC
other was a man who is mad at Nc
Kinley because he has been unable tt
get cars enough to haul all his coal
though how Mckinley is to blame 70
that, he doesn't stop to explain"
Hon. A. G. Dayton, who represent
the Second West Virginia district Il
congress and who knows the stat
thoroughly, says that the claims of tn
Democrats that Bryan will carry tn

AS an evidence of the prevailing
sentiment in West Virginia, the testi-
mony of Samuel G. Barr. editor of the
Calhoun Chronicle, is of interest. In q
recent issue of his paper Mr.. Barr says
editorially:
"In 1896 we were told In most pro-
found and eloquent language that
without 16 to ruin and devastation
awaited this country. Six years ago
20 men were hunting one boss. Today
20 bosses are hunting one mana man
who will work. If this statement of

Could you but read my love, this heart of mine.
You'd find wondrous story written there;
It Is the tale my lips would frame to thee
If but dare, If but dare.
The tale OF one unto whose soul was borne
An angels whisper, soft summers wind.
There is heart which heaven has made for thee:
Go forth and find, go forth and find
The tale Of one who wandered DER earth,
BY land and sea, by home and foreign shore,
Until into your eyes he gazed and knew
His search was o'er, his search was Ger.
