policy itself is the very worst calam-

Such a policy places a store in the

ever, are SO scarce in this city that
If they all patronized one store they

j. M. Williams of Panes Branch
was in Centervile the first of the

to the Outlook. Mr.. Williams is
an expert tie-maker and works at
this the year round. He says that
on a weeks work at the present
time he receives about 81 less in
wages than he did one year ago on
the same amount of work, and that
the price for the necessaries Of
life which he is compelled to buy
are, if there is any difference,
higher to day than they were a
year ago. This condition exists
to-day not only with Mr.. Williams,
but with nearly every other labor
ing man in all parts of the country.
This is the prosperity that the Re-
publicans brag about. Does it
suit you, Mr.. Voter? A vote for
Bryan will be a step in the right
direction to remedy the matter and
give to labor the wage that pro-
perly belong to it and at the same
time remove the tariff from the
ne%cessaries of life which will re-
duce the living expenses almost

in the interest of the Republican
candidate for Representative and
whispers confidingly that national
politics are not concerned with

no Democrat desires a Republican
