A CALL TO DUTY

| November, the people Of this country will
decide their destiny for the next four
years certainly and possibly for all time.
If the decision is wise, all will be well; if
unwise, disaster will follow
Eight years AGO, the country was pros
porous 10 a degree never before known,
Labor was generally employed at coed
prices, business was brisk in all branches,
farmers found a ready market for every
thing they could produce and there was
peace. contentment and happiness in al
most every home.
A change of governmental policy was
demanded. 1t was charged that the
Tariff was a robber; that the rich were
growing richer and the poor poorer.
Labor was prejudiced against capital
the farmer was told that he was being
robbed, the mechanic was assured that
he was not securing his share and the
doctrine Of discomfort was preached
throughout the length and breadth of the
land
1t mattered not that Republicans pro-
claimed that the people were prosperous.
The people preferred to listen to the tin
plate liar.
Prosperity was voted out and poverty
voted in.
Misery and wretchedness and want
stalked abroad for four long years. 1t was
not that President Cleveland was not an
honest and sincere man. He was.
1t was that the victory had been won
upon false issue. 1t was that the par
ty in power sought to do that which al
ways brings disaster.
An attempt was made to put the coun-
try upon free trade or tariff for revenue
basis and the result was a measure
which President Cleveland denounced as
the elimination OF party perhdity and
party dishonor."
-Four years later, the Democratic party
was Organized and new and dangerous
ly seductive remedy was proposed. The
people were told that debased currency
was the sovereign cure for their ills.
Everybody was deeply in debt and the
thought that he could pay those debts
at 50 cents on the dollar was a great
temptation to the voter.
Republicans stood for an honest dollar
and protective tariff.
William Mckinley expressed the domi-
mating idea of his party when he said,
1--WE will open the doors of the mills and
the doors of the minis will open them
selves"
Honesty and integrity prevailed.
Every pledge made by the Republican
party has been kept. every promise full
filled and every prediction verified,
Every assertion made by Bryan has
been proven absolutely false in every
particular by the memorable logic of
events.
His paramount issue of four years ago,
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 10 to I. has been crucifed up
on a cross of gold.
The crown of thorns which he said
should not be pressed upon the brow OF
labor, has been transformed into diadem
of industrial felicity.

Bryanesque recipe for answering a

When the voter enters the booth next
Tuesday, solemn duty confronts him.
With him rests the wea or woe of dis
country. The past is before him. The
future can only be judged bv the past.
The last words of General Ulyssus S.
Grant, as he lay dying were, Let us have
peace" 1t remained for William Nc
Kinley to close the chasm between the
North and the South. This he did when
he signed the commissions OF Joseph
Wheeler and Ftzhugh Lee, to be Major
Generals in the Army of the United
States When we saw those who wore
the blue and those who wore the grew
and their sons springing to the defence of
their country and marching to the 'front.'
with the Star Spangled Banner floating
over them, then we knew that the prayer
of the great Silent Soldier" had been
answered.
When we witnessed that mighty out
burst of patriotism, we hoped and prayed
that the Gospel of Hate and Discord
might never more be heard. Much
as we regret to record the fact, it isa fact
that William Jennings BRYAN, during the
past two months, has been employing all
of his eloquence, and he is eloquent, in
disseminating doctrines which can breed
naught but strife and dissension. His
mighty powers have been prostituted to
an effort to array the poor against the rich,
to inaugurate war between Capital and
Labor He AYERS that our liberties are
endangered. He knows that the people
are sovereign; that they make and un-
make Presidents and Congresses. He
knows that President Mckinley has not
departed hairs breadth from the straight
line of official rectitude, and that he will
not do so. He has not shown in any of
the numerous speeches he has made how
any laborer or mechanic can better his
condition. On the contrary he has adj
mtted, more than once, that a panic
would ensue were his theories put into
practice.
1t therefore becomes the duty Of every
man who loves his home, his family, his
country to consider we'll the responsibility
which rests upon him.
To vote for Bryan is to plunge into an
unknown, uneXplored abyss, with no light
to guide US on our way; to invite financial
disaster; to precipitate panic with its at
tendant poverty, idleness, wretchednes $
and woe
To vote for Mckinley and the Repub-
lican ticket is to continue the prosperity
we now possess; to follow the safe paths
we have heretofore travelled; to have hap
Ply homes, be prosperous ourselves and in
sure prosperity to our neighbor who may
not be 50 wise as we.
BE men, and ike the prophet of old, af-
ter his contest with the followers of Baal,
declare: IF the Lord be God, serve Him;
but if Baal be God, then serve him.
BE just and fear not
Let all the ends thou am'st at be thy
counrys, thy Gods and truths"

THE FOURTH WE USED TO KNOW.

U9H, for another July Fourth,
~ The Fourth of days agone.
When cannon beloved on the
green
Before the break OF dawn.
When with the village band we
marched
Ahre with freedoms glow
Oh, let it come, with fife and drum.
The Fourth we used to know
DO you remember how we rose
Long ere the break of day
And hurriedly slipped on our clothes
And made a dash away
To where the bells and cannon were.
Where smoke was hanging low ?
All, yes, a morn of freedom born,
The Fourth we used to know
DO you remember, too, IN Rag
Above the village square
How proud and glorious we felt
To see it waving there
DO you recall the stirring speech
Which set our hearts aglow,
The grand parade, the games we
played,
The Fourth we used to know
The Fourth we used to know oh,
where
Has the old spirit fled ?
We still are brave | cannot think
That spirit wholly dead
The spirit born at Bunker Hill,
At Concord, long ago,
oh, let it come, with fife and drum,
The Fourth we used to know.

a distinguished clergyman, in the North
American Review, propounds the startling
query, "What has become Of hell ?" Now,
being clergyman, and having the situation
we'll in hand, he ough, to know what he is
talking about, and if il be a fact that hell is
actually lost Il is news to us and VIC fear
too good news to be true. It is very certain
that the loss Of hell would be a great gain
to our peace Of mind. II was region of
darkness and death about which we had so
little curiosity that we had no desire what
ever to explore IT, Hell having been lost
and no reward offered, is ii at all surprising
that men have quit going to church This
is another fact much commented upon by
the clergy.
For our part, we see no way to bring
back the men to the velvet folds Of the
church pew except to restore hell to that
conspicuous aud rightful place IL held in
theology Of former days. when It's terrors
we're favoriie theme for the revivalist. and
by which they not only managed to keep
the men in church, bu, scared the little boys
so badly that they were almost afraid to go
to bed.
For our part, we DO not C.ink that hell is
lost any more today than 10 vas hundreds Of
years ago. What has been lost is a hell
that never existed except in The imaginations
Of men.
