A Fine Promotion.

Albert Z. Chapman, well known in
WATERFOWL and universally esteemed.
has received a material advancement
at the hands of the Chicago. Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul Railroad company, in
whose employ he has been for eigh-
teen years He is to be transferred
on November l from the position of
assistant ticket agent in the Milwaukee
city Office TO that of city ticket agent in
Chicago place occupying large
scope. ''Bob's" promotion is a much
deserved one and every one of his
large circle of friends will rejoice
with him in his good fortune. The
Sentinel has the following to say of
him:
Mr.. Chapman has been connected
with the road since 1882. He was born
in Nashotah, January Z. 1865, and
learned telegraphy at Nashotah. He
secured employment with the road as
night operator at Spring Meadow,
which is the railroad station at the
state fair grounds. Later he was
transferred to Watertown, where he
was q oOlCSl opu OpCi ooOi uuCil lCCt,
when he came to Milwaukee and was
appointed ticket clerk at the Union
depot. There he worked for four
years, when Col. w. j. Boyle placed
him in the uptown ticket Office as as
sistant ticket agent, where he has
been ever since. Recently when f. A.
Miller was appointed general passen-
ger agent OF the Milwaukee road, the
Chicago ticket agent, G. NJ Souther,
was appointed to succeed Mr.. Miller.
Mr.. Chapman now goes to Chicago
to succeed Mr.. Souther which is a
| decided promotion and places him in
direct line for higher promotion in
| the future, The news of Mr.. Chap
mans promotion was pleasant sur
| prise to his many friends in the city.
There are few railroad men in Mil
waukee more popular than he and
during the day he was in receipt of
many congra tulations. Col. Boyle.
his superior in the local Office, said of
him:
'.Mr. Chapman is a capable young
man and has a thorough knowledge
of railroad ticket selling. He is we'll
posted on every road in the country,
is faithful and Conscientious en-
ploye, and we'll qualified to fill the
position to which he has been pro-
noted. | am sorry to lose him here,
but his new position is an important
! advancement and he is to be congrat-
ulated. That he will be very success
full, we all know"

No Advantage from Free Coinage
Prices

Every man, whether thrifty or
spend thrift, pays out every dollar he
takes in. Whether he spends it in
riotous living or in the purchase of
securities, or land, he spends it. If he
does no more than to deposit it in
bank he pays out the money and gets
a credit in exchange. Every man,
therefore, is a buyer and a seller to
precisely the same extent. AS buyer
he wishes to pay out as little as pos
sible; as a seller he desires to take in
as much money as possible. No
change in the value or purchasing
power Of money, then, is of any value
to him; all that he gains as a buyer
he must lose as a seller. A cheap
dollar, then, is of no Importance to
any man; if the dollars are cheapened
so that he gets more than before, he
must also pay out more than before.
Not even a silver stump speaker has
ever devised a process whereby a man
may earn one kind of dollars and pay
grocer. But the process of change
from one kind of dollar to another has
always been distressing. Wholesale
prices go up first when the unit of
value goes down, for they are more in
fuenced by operation in the CONNER
cial centers and are more affected by
the prices in the worlds markets.
This puts the retailer in a very tight
place for while, but eventually he
gets his prices up. The last prices
to 60 up are the prices of labor.
Wages are the last to rise and there
never yet was a depreciation of the
currency that did not cause suffering
to the industrial population Many
riot and some instructions have been
the result of wicked and INSCRIPTIONS
kings, or ignorant governments, de-
basing the currency or making cheap
money.

Joseph Dorr Clapp, a well-known
banker and for many years a highly
respected citizen of Fort Atkinson,
died Saturday morning, aged nearly
80 years. He was born in West
minister, VT, December 81, 1911. In
1889 he came to Wisconsin and set
tied in the town of Milford, his first VEN
ture there being the purchase OF 800
acres of land from the government.
He titled this land until 1857, when
he sold it and came to Fort Atkinson.
In 1859, in company with former Con-
gresham L. B. Caswell, he started
the Koshkonong bank, which later
was merged into the First National
bank. Mr.. Clapp was made president
and held this Office continuously ever
since. He was man of strict in
tegrity and kindly mien. The fun
eral was held Monday afternoon.

SOME persons are imposed on by
the specious plea that we ought to
make our own monetary system re-
gardless of the rest of the world.
The author of the Declaration
of Independence was a pretty good
judge Of what pertained to national
independence, and he said that this
question Of the coinage was purely
mercantile question, and if we were TO
have dollars of two metals we had
better find out the relative values of
gold and sily er in the countries we did
most of our trading with, and adopt
their ratio. We can of course make
any sort of financial or monetary
system for ourselves that we like.
But to determine the value Of gold in
beyond the powers of any government
as to determine the value of wheat IL
gold, or of cotton in silver, or of pork
in greenbacks-and no one pretends
that congress can fix these prices.
For nearly a century our government
tried to make the mint ratio the same
as the market ratio; it never supposed
it could fix the price; it only tried to
keep up with the changes in price. It
found this impracticable and has lately
given up the effort. 1t has slowly and
reluctantly accepted the teachings of
experience here and in all other
countries. Now the question before
the country is whether it shall throw
all expert ence, it's own and that of the
rest of the world aside and attempt
again what has already been found to
be impossible.

A Reason for Voting for Hon. H. B.
Dahle.

The taxpayers of WATERFOWL, Lake
Mills and Waterloo who were directly
interested pecuniarily in the matter
cannot have forgotten the bill intro
duced in congress some months ago
having in view the collection of old
judgments on railroad bonds, by a
novel proceeding, towit. the appoint
ment of a commissioner empowered to
make an assessment for the amount
due. The shylocks holding these
judgments were not satisfied to work
through the ordinary legal channels,
but invented this new scheme which
if successful would have enabled
them to secure their pound of flesh,
Old claims which had been treated as
outlawed were revived under the law
when it could be shown that the United
States marshal had been unable to
make service; and the commissioner
was authorized to make his assessment
against private property. The effect
of this can easily be seen. 1t simply
meant confscation and nothing else.
The bill was put to sleep through the
efforts of interested localities, as Mayor
CRUDE speaking for Watertown will
undoubtedly testify, in calling to their
aid Congressman DAZZLE, who spared
no effort in opposing the measure in
committee
1t would seem that this is a good
time for the taxpayers of Waterloo,
Lake Mills and Watertown to show
their appreciation of this interest Mr..
DAZZLE took in their behalf by support
lug him for reelection. There is an
old saying that one good turn deserves
another, and it would appear to be
base ingratitude for our people to for
get the obligation they are under to
Mr. Dahle for coming to their relief SO
manfully in a matter of such vital
concern to their pockets. The zeal
manifested by him was commended at
the time as hearty and sincere, and
the defeat of the bill spoken of was in
no small manner due to his earnest
efforts.

that the Republicans would gain con-
troll of the house, but it was until this
week feared that it would be by
smaller majority than that in the

are confident that the Mckinley and

that the majority in the next house

about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who uae this standard artl-

The bottom has dropped out of the
Bryan campaign. The election of
Mckinley and Roosevelt is now alb
solutely assured, and if the stampede
grows as fast during the coming ten
days as it has during the past ten days
Bryan will be one of the worst defeated
men that was ever a candidate for the
presidency. Mr.. Bryan himself has
been largely responsible for the stam-
pede. He has seemingly lost his head
entirely and hardly makes a speech
which does not contain something
that helps along the stampede. Dem
ocrats who had made up their minds
to vote the party ticket have declared
after hearing Mr.. Bryan talk that they
were afraid of him; that they knew
what to expect of Mckinley after his
reelection, while no one on earth
would know what to expect of Mr..
Bryan if he were elected,

What Abram S. Hewitt Thinks.

Abram S. Hewitt. a merchant and
manufacturer, an eX-Democratic men,
Der of congress, eX-mayor of New
York, and an American citizen whose
name is synonymous with patriotism,
integrity and ability. has written a
letter in which he says:
The extraordinary thing is that the
Kansas City platform proposes to COM
NIT the very crime which it falsely
denounces as having been perpetrated
in 1873. 1t proposes to substitute a
fifty-cent dollar in payment of the
debts which ought to be discharged
with 100 cents to the dollar. This
is robbery and, therefore, crime in
which no honest man can have any
part. The pretense that the bullion
value of silver could be raised to it's
coinage value by the fat of the
government is ridiculous. In fact, we
have tried the experiment by purchas-
ing more than six hundred million
dollars worth of silver in order to
preserve the parity between silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to L. We
have seen the price of silver steadily
fall in the face of these large purchases.
The United States strained it's ability
the last thread of tension in this effort.
Universal distress existed, and we
were only relieved from general bank
ruptcy by the repeal of the Sherman
act. To repeat this experiment in q
time when business is good is an act
of folly so glazing that it is difficult
| for sane man to understand that the
proposition could have received 6
single vote in the convention.

What Free Silver Means.

1t means that every wage Garner
must either double his wages, or live
on half what his days labor will now
buy, because it would reduce the pur-
chasing power to that extent. Can
you double your wages?
2.-It means that every farmer will
have to get twice the price for his
produce that he now gets in order to
buy the same amount of the comforts
of life that he can now buy. Can he
get it? And even if he does, will he
be any better off?
