pose of the bill, than its present title.
The indecent haste with which this bill |
has at the present time been pressed is
in keeping with the arguments employ.
ed to justify it in the brief debate. upon
it. 1t was repeatedly said by the ad. |
vocates of ths bill that in the last two
general elections sthe people. .hadi de-
clared for gold standard. This is in |
no wise true. In 1896 the party now in |
power declared for bimetallism, by inter.
national agreement, and prOfessed that
they were friendly to silver. In 1888
we were engaged in foreign war
which was popular, and because OF
much management, assaults upon the
administration were made and issues
connected with the war became para
mount. In every part of the country
appeals were made to stand by the
president-by the country-.while at
war. Americans have always done
that, and they responded, without q
thought of the gold standard. Yet the
great dominating majority of the prev
lous congress Was reduced to small
working majority. The people have
never declared for a gold standard.
On the contrary they have twice de.
clared by overwhelming majorlties
aga it, and were only OVERCOME by
republican executive power. In 1873
by president Hayes veto, and in 1880 by
compromise, accepted because it was
known that president Harrison would
veto free coinage bill. To force such
bill under such pretenses at such a
time, when the whole world Is in actual
need Of more money, to meet the
enormous development of Industrial &C
tivlty, and of the resulting commerce
so that panicy conditions are being de.
veloped, and when the greatest i,source
of the worlds gold production is closed
by the war in South Africa, must have
some impelling motive. Such motive
has been declared to be that they have
n W the power to tie and bind the peo-
pie, and 1t may be taken from them in
1900. No matter If the bill proves what
we say 1t is, genuine panic breeder.
the money trust which demands it now
can by securing but one of the three
coordinate branches of our government
can prevent its being revoked.
Herein lies the danger. OF all the
trusts which bear so heavily upon the
American people, this money trust,
which Is behind this bill, is the most
dangerous.
1t is to be hoped thai the senate will
prove barrier to the proposed surren-
der OF sovereign power, to chartered
banks.
Senators are not tied by rules which
cut off debate, and if the true represen.
tatives of popular rights and wishes in
that body exert their powers, they may
avert the threatened evil. Let us hope
that they may do so.

its function, its origin and constitution

lucy soy tHdI tuc temperance lecturer
who held forth at the Baptist church,
not long since, did much good in our
midst. was going to say, mot much
indeed" but we shall see as actions
speak palmer than words. If there has
been any good done, there is still room
for much more. In this nice little pro-
hibition town of Manchester, where
there is so much Boosting done about
the law that prohibits the sale and use
of intoxicants. Oh, My! Oh, Myl The
folly of it, the wickedness of it.
When, in years long passed, has it
been any worse than it is at the present
time.
Talk about free saloons. Why l
verify believe there are far worse things
exist. l am by no means in favor of
the open saloon, but 1 cannot help but
think it would be far more honorable
for l can never tolerate preaching what
we do not practice, and you can scarce
ly go down the street without running
against an intoxicated person, or COM
ing in contact with one that is pretty
well "set up" az the slang signifies.
Show me person that lives on the
main streets and will show you one
that has seen these things almost daily,
If they ever take notice of anything at
all. Still we have no saloons for our
boys to frequent. We are strictly
prohibition people here, and now what
is the matter?
Please come with me to some of our
social hops that our boys attend, yes
and our girls too for that matter. Look
at that promising manly youth, one
of our boys. Why is he so glib of tongue
and 80 very attentive to the ladies. He
isn't drunk, oh no ma, he has just TAX
en- little for the stomach's sake. He
is SO nice, don't you think so.
AS Kate Thorne says; ooh that the
women Of our nation would turn their
faces eternslly from the man who
drinks, and that the mothers would
close the doors of their houses against
the wine drinking young man, and let
society understand that no such person
will be received as honored and respect
ed into its ranks, for it is not our old
drinkers that is troubling U.s." Oh no.
l think the sooner they Ego up the
spout" the better. 1 wish that each
one had tin cup with chain attached
to it fastened to barrel of the accursed
stuff SO that we could get them off our
hands Immediately.
But those boys of ou1c. What can
be done for them in such community.
The example set before them is not
good, and the prohibitory law, not en-
forced, is teaching them to live lie,
Manchester is prohibition town. We
have no saloons. So far, so good, but
do we have no drinkers. How about
the vile stuff anyway, for they surely
get it in abundant quantities by fair
means or foul, and of course if any per-
son takes hold of the matter, and has
any thing to say against such proceed
ings it is y terrible thing, let them tell
the story.

would take hold of the matter in ear

German Ambassador Butchsred
A London dispatch says

A London dispatch says:
Confirmed in the fullest manner is
the report of the butchery of Baron
Won Keteler, the German Minister, on
June Is.
The ambassador was attacked by
Chinese troops and Boxers, dragged
from his horse and killed. His body
was hacked to pieces with swords.
The German legion and six other
buildings were burned and many SER
wants OF the legation were killed and
their bodies thrown into the flames.

wholesale slaughter OF Foreigners
in Pekin is now reported as having
occurred.

APPLE BRANDY
will Not Be Made SO Abundantly
This Year-CrOp Is Short.

The few fruit distilleries out in the
State are making preparations to
start running in few weeks for the
manufacture OF peach and apple BRAN
dy.
The crop of apple brandy will
doubtless be very scarce, as the apple
crop will tall far short OF the average.
The blossom was killed early in the
year by frost in many parts of the
State. The spring rains also injured
the crop to some extent, and it is now
reported that a small worm has play
ed havoc with the remaining fruit,
which will make the crop very short.
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio, North Caroline, Arkansas, Mis-
souri, and some sections OF Indiana
report the same conditions, which,
distillers say, will cause the crop of
apple brandy to fail short.
Peaches are abundant, and it ia
likely that there will be good crop
OF peach brandy.

Citizenship and Its Responsible

citizenship has rather higher sig
nificance than most persons are accus-
toned to give it. The highest judic-
isl authority ia our country says thai
"ciiizens .src members of the political
community to which they belong.
They are the people who compose the
community, and who, in their associ-
ated capacity, have established, or
submitted themselves to the dominion
of government for the promotion of
their general welfare, ana the protec-
ton If tA0ir Individual as well as
their collective rights. q" The duty OF
the citizen is made clear, and he who
fails TO oppo@e the forces which are
inimicsl to these things has not vet
fully realized what il means TO be an
American citizen. Good citizenship,
strictly speaking, is misnOmer. The
responsibility murt first or last be
placed upon the ciizen, for that il

SeasOnable Suggestions.

The following from Printers Ink
was written by one of the greatest adj
vertising experts in the country, and
Is advice that wise merchants will
shrewdly follow:
Don't neglect your advertising be-
cause the weather is hot and people
are leaving town. Remember that
the trade OF the stay-at-aomes is well
worth having and that while it may
be necessary to offer unusual induce
ments in order to get and keep their
interest during the hot weather, II is
much better to do so than to give OH
enterprising competitor the chance to
wean some good customers away from
you. Take some reasonable things on
which you are overloace~ and the
things that soon will be unseasOnable,
and print interesting stories about
them. Qaote prices that will force at
tention by their owness, even If you
nave 10 loose little now and then.
It's very warm day indeed when
people won't respond to genuine bar
gain offer if they have any confidence
in the merchant who makes it. Don't
make up your mind that Ii is going to
be awiuily dull between seasons, just
because il was so last year. Don't sit
down and wait for your next busy
season to open. Try different pan
this year. Advertise persi,tently ana
aggressively right through the hot
weather, making frequent changes OF
copy, and not forgetting TO quote pri-
ces that will tempt people to part with
their money. That's good way 70
keep them thinking of you and your
store, to make reputation for low
prices, anu TO turn stocks over. II
you have never tried it, try il now.

Farmers Buying Machinery.

Handlers of farm niachiuer,
say the demsnd for their wares has
been heavy this year, larger in fact
than It has been for years.
The demand has been mostly for
reapiug machinery and tnreshers aud
engines, though many plows and
grain drills have been sold. They say
there Was All unusually large acreage
of cereals this ycsr, which accounts
for the farmers buying so much ma
chinery.
