The unforaOstsn.,

All day and nlany days 1 rode. a.
My horses head settowards the sea;
And as I rode longing came Il. me
That ! might keep the sunset road,
Riding my horse right on dnd on.
o'ertake the day still tagging al the
west,
And so reach boyhood from the dawn,
And be with all the days at rest
For then the odor or the growing
wheat, ISL
The fare of sumach on the hills,
The touch Of grasses to my feet
Would cure my brain Of all its ills
Would fill my heart so full Of joy
That no stern lines could fret my
face,
There would be forever boy,
Lie by the sl'y's unfaillng grace.

A Wish.


She rested by the Broken Brook
She drank Of Weary Well,
She moved beyond my lingering look,
Ali, whittier none can tell
She came, she went In other lands,
Perchance in fairer skies,
Her hands shall cling with otherhands.
Her eyes to other eyes.
She vanished. In the sounding town,
VIII she remember too?
VIII she recall the eyes Of brown
As 1 recall the blue2

7 do not NOW of any tronger APP
peal that can be made for Republican
votes than a recital of the last four
years as compared with the previous
four years. Boiled down the issues are
McKinleyism and Organism. Boiled
down it is free silver and free trade on
Bryan's side and prosperity and de-
velopment on ours. Out West the
OF imperialism is played
tut. Mr.. Bryan will not talk free sill
yer in the Empire State unless you
force him to. and I want you to force
him to. I have frequently expressed
publicly that the Republicans In this
state and country are feeling too san
guine as to the result. The Republican
national committee does not a k any
chances. The issue in this campaign
are greater than in any other. A de-
feat would put us ten years behind
Chairman NJ. A. Hanna at New York.

WOULD FOLLOW
BRYAN'S
What the Manufacturers of the Country Believe
Would Happen

Manufacturers and their immediate
customers are beginning to get them
selves in shape for the dull times that
they know would ensue in the event of
the election of Mr.. Bryan. Reports
from all ove the country indicate
that Bryan" clauses are soon to be
the rule in signing new contracts. The
latest is a contract entered into be-
tween the New Haven Carriage CON-
pany and the J. Curley company of
Brooklyn. The contract specifies that
the New Haven company shall furnish
the Curley company with a certain
number of carriages at a certain price
until November 18th. 1901. With the
contract received by the Curley COM
pany was the following letter from
the New Haven company:
we inclose herein agreements sign
ed. You will notice that we have made
an Endorsement at the bottom. Will
you please indorse this yourself? 1t is
just as good policy for you to indorse
it as it is for us, for you do not wish
to be bound down by anything in case
of such adverse circumstances as
would occur in the event of Bryan's
election"
The Endorsement reads:
This agreement to be null and void
in case William ]. Bryan is elected
president of the United States in No
vember. 1900"
other large concerns are indorsing
important contracts in this way, their
managers well knowing that a long
season OF business depression would
follow the success of the Democratic
ticket. A large Philadelphia dry
goods house in placing contracts
abroad insists that the contracts be
similarly Endorsed.
The business men know what four
years of Organism would mean to them
and the working people are equally
aware of the fact. II these classes
are not prosperous. they will be I'M
able to consume as much of the prod
ucts of the farm as they would in the
event of Republican success, and the
farmer knows the value of having a
era of prosperity among those who
eat and wear his products.

THE Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit,
located in Group XIII, Glass 10, at the
Paris international Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe.
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction h a 1t
was f~avorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the international Jury to Singer Sew
ing-Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
the international Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer machines received 81
distinct awards. being more than were
received by all other kinds Of sewing
machines combined.
Should it be possible that any of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms which
can be found in all cities and most
towns in the United States"

PATRIOTISM NOT IMPERIALISM.

Was 1t Imperialism hat like a
mighty torrent swept across this great
prairie state and called to arms your
boys in 1861? Was it Imperialism that
taused thousands of the boys, young
and aggressive and equally as patriot
ic as you, to respond to the nations
call in 1898? Those boys who went
forth two years ago went to keep the
old flag here, to defend it at Santiago,
San Juan, Cavite and to keep it from
defamation at the hands of A~guinaldo
and his Tagal Malays. and all the sym
pathizers both abroad and at home. No
Imperialism in that; simply patriotism
orators. / say to you that when any
one tries to scare you about the atti-
tude of the boys of 81, say to them
that they went forth, not for gain, but
that the flag that went up at Vicks-
burg, Missionary Ridge. Cavite-car-
ried. too. by those heroes Dewey.
Sampson and Schley-went there to
itay; to stay forever, to stay as long
Is a drop of American blood courses
IN the veins of our American young
lien. We all demanded that the war
come; we were all i~mperialists and I
hope that we will always so remain,
