Knocks on prosperity"

A Topeka special to the Kansas City Times
says: The Republican politicians here who
have been shouting themselves hoarse about
prosperity" were Jared to-day by the receipt
of an advertising circular announcing that F.
w. Reed, dry goods merchant of Lawrence,
is selling out to quit business. The contents
of the circular were particularly CALLING because
Read is a lifelong Republican:
after nearly forty-four years in the dry
goods business in Lawrence" says Mr. Read
in his circular, 81 am going to quit for good
here 1t has been hot, dull sum-
mer, and a very hot rainy fall so far, and
trade has been exceedingly light, and while
everybody seems to be prophesying good fall
trade, | cannot see it in Lawrence. There are
at least six towns in Douglas county that are
doing a far better trade in proportion to stock
carried than Lawrence The farmers don't
have to come to town to get their mail as they
used to. Rura' delivery has knocked that out.
What see is the wiser ones than have pre-
ceeded me IN getting out of business. Bullene's
Shoe company has quit; Hub Clothing store and
w. II. Duncan have quit; the Norton's have
sold oct; so has Fred Klock, Beal Weise and
others. There have been more changes and
ouittingin the last three years than in the pre-
ceedng ten. Our wire mill has gone up; cam
ming factory ditto; the best mill III The state IN
ashes, and no prospect of rebuilding; the barrel
factory going 10 move, and so on. Only one
building of magnitude built this summer, that
school house we are taxed for. No one is in
vesting in the town, and the city will be $780,
600 behind in its general fund January I, 1901.
If that is any reason for remaining in business

It's alleged that Mr.. Stevenson was copper
head, friend of the confederacy and toe to
the Union. This is highly important IT true.
If Mr.. Stevenson is secretly disloyal and he
should be elected vice-president, who knows
but he might some time wear an evening suit
at $50 p. m. or otherwise abuse the vast powers
of his office in order to humillate and lmperll
the country? But it should be remembered
that Mr.. Stevenson was vce-presldent 1our
years and he never once wore his trousers IN
his boots or sought in any other way to over
throw the palladium of our liberties Topeka

A correspondent of the New York Journal
reports that in one West Virginia county alone
1900 former Mckinley supporters have come
out in signed declaration to vote for William
Jennings Bryan for president. Mckinley car
red that state in 1896 by II,437 votes, but
Bryans recent triumphal tour assures MIN the
electoral vote this year. With Wisconsin, lndl-
ana, Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky pract-
ically assured without counting the reasonable
certainty of New York, Illinois, Minnesota and
Connecticut the majority of the electoral vote
of 1900 will be for Bryan. The Kansas Demo

Concise and Complete.

A concise and complete picture of the mani
fold expressions of the trust systems is given by
BRYAN in his letter of acceptance:
"The consumer suffers extortion, the pro-
Queer of raw material has but one purchaser
and must sell at the arbitrary price fixed; the la
borer has but one employ er, and it is powerless
to protest against injustice either in wages or
in conditions of labor; the small stakeholder is
at the mercy of the speculator, while the travel
ing salesman contributes his salary to the over
grown profits Of the trust"
Every man, woman and child in the United
States is baneully affected by the trusts Every
man, woman or child can be placed in one OF
the classes Bryan has enumerated. The class
of consmer embraces them all. Some occupy
place IN two of the classes. = The Kansas
Democrat.

A WORD TO FUSIONISTS.

It is related of Napoleon's troops, on their
return from the field of Austerlitz, that when
they met other French troops, they asked
"Brother were you in the great battle OF yes
terday?" If the answer was "No," the latter
ed heros of that glorious day said: "Then go
and hang yourselves" And it IS further relat-
ed that brave men did hang themselves because
they had not been fortunate enough to have
shared in the glory of Austerlitz.
FUSIONISTS, FAIL NOT to be in the
great battle of next Tuesday. Don't make 1t
possible that you feel like hanging yourself
next Wednesday for not having participated IN
the greatest political battle of the century BE
prepared to answer your comrades that you
were in the "great battle of yesterday"
Be in the fight early. Vote during the tore
noon. With every fusionist in line, defeat IN
Kansas is impossible. If the state would go
against Bryan, every man who remains away
from the polls will be responsible for it.
Follow the brave leader, whose heart is with
vol. once more Do not be guilty OF ingratl-
tude towards the hero of the Peoples cause
with glorious victory within reach.
WHY do all the trusts support the Republican
party?
They know.
Why are you supporting the same party the
trusts are?

A discharged soldier recently re-
turned from the Philippines tells a
tale of shirt which is too good to be
lost. His company was returning
from a long and tiresome scouting
trip, in which most of the men had
lost more than half of their wearing
apparel, when he saw On a clothes
line on the grounds Of residence ad-
joining large stone church two very
good shirts hung out to dry. AS he
had at the time only half shirt to
his back, he proceeded to help him
self to whole one, whereupon a
woman came out Of the house and
said in passable English. "You II
pay for that on the Judgment day"
Madam, he replied. "if you give
such long credit l Will take both
shirts, " which he proceeded to do
