Against Laboring Men.

While William H. Taft is travelling about Ohio and elsewhere making fran tic appeals for the support of laboring men, his running mate on the Republi. can ticket, James s. Sherman, is giv- ing his endorsement to the statemen that Tabor unions are composed large ly of anarchists, socialists and dema. gogues." Mir. sherman heard the or ganized wage worker of the country thus denounced by trust magnate who presided at meeting where he spoke, and gave approval of the senti- ment expressed. When Mir Sherman appeared recently at Akron, Ohio. the
 meeting which he addressed was pre-. sided over by o. c. Barber, president of the Diamond Match Company. Mir. Barber introduced MT. Sherman to the audience Tn doing so he made use of the following language, as stenograph- ically reported:
 "One of the main reasons for the success of the Diamond Match Com pany is that It's directors HAVE NEVER TOLERATED UNION LABOR IN ITS SHOP. THEY HAVE AL WAYS BEEN OPEN. We have had no one to dictate to us what wages we shall pay, what men we shall hire, and what hours our employees shall work. LABOR UNIONS TODAY ARE COM POSED LARGELY OF ANARCHISTS, SOCIALISTS AND DEMAGOGUES."

< The colonel had remonstrated vigor. ously with Uncle Eph about the old darky's persistent excursions into. the state of inebrfation. Uncle Eph, though he promised faithfully to re- frain from frequent dips into the flow ing bowl, failed to live up to the colo ners expectations. On numerous oc- casions the colonel saw Eph under the influence of liquor, but the darky when taken to task stoutly denied the ac- tcusation, affirming emphatically sthat he did not. drink. One. evening the colonel met Uncle Eph in q condition which made it plainly evident that the darky was "caught with the goods on"
 "Eph," began the colonel seriously, T thought you told me that you had given up drink?"
 "Ah sho' did, Massa Kernl; An sho' did,' replied Eph. But lately An dun took up drinkih' an glb up lyin,."-- Harper's Weekly.

The Crab In tho Oyster.

''The little crab found in the oyster" said dealer, lis not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but lis a distinct species. It is messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oysters kindness in protecting 1t against it's enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state. could not be taken by the oyster.

With Coggshall at center and Barney at halfback the visitors had stone wall defense, and the addi- tional strength of the secondary de- fense had good effect upon Kid An derson in the goal circle. The final score was 5 to and Hartford would have had another, but three fouls were called upon Doherty.

Charlie Johnson has jumped to the top again with a good lead in the State League, but with Jimmie Watt, Frank Beardsley and Huber in close pursuit, must keep plugging to hold the position.

Henry Clews, the Wall street pub hcity agent, has taken the stump for Taft. This typical representative of Wall street declares that Bryan is un- safe and that Judge Taft will make an ideal president. A few days ago he addressed a big crowd of eastern bankers and. of course, opposed the guaranty of bank deposits. MT. Clews declared that the guaranty bank plank is "socialistic in It's tendency and far cry from true democratic principles, which oppose excessive centralization of power"

REPUBLICANS HOWL CALAMITY
teek to Destroy Public Confidence in
 - Futile E6ort;to Dsfeas s Jfh Hrvan. ttF9

Vt Bryan. tFs
 Facing inevitable defeat and with . full knowledge of tho fact that Bry; ans election is as certain as anythill reasonably can be in politics. the Re publicans have been forced to resort to the last refuge of political towards ito the calamity howl. They are now engaged in telling tho country that panic and ruin will follow the election of MT. Bryan. Instead of being pAtri- otic citizens anxious to restore busi- ness condolences confidence which has been lost under . Republican ad. ministration-to subserve their own political selfish purposes they are vain- ly endeavoring to prolons the present business depression. The question naturally suggests itself: Why is 1t necessary to restore confidence? Why Is 1t necessary to bring back business prosperity? What has become of conf. dence. what has, become of prosperity3 Both, under g Republican administra- ton, have disappeared. Why is an. other Republican administration neces- sary to insure return of confidence and prosperity?
 The very same men who, today, are going about the country still further destroying confidence by preaching calamity, are the men, who, four years ago said that the R publican party must be successful in order that there might be prosperity. The Republican party was successful, but instead of bringing prosperity 1t brought panic, business depression and commercial stagnation. Whatever may be said of the present panic. 1t cannot be denied that 1t is Republican panic. The Republican party Is in full possession of the government and must accept the responsibility. How, then, can a continuation of .he Republican party in power cure the evils from which the business community and the laboring man now suffer? Let the Republicans howl about their own panic, and not make false predictions about what will happen under a Democratic. admins tration. They predicted prosperity four years ago, and proven false pro- phets. Why, then. should any sane man accept, their premonitions now when they say that Bryan's election would bring business troubles Busi- ness troubles are already here. What business men want is cure for them, not prolongation of the disease by the same sort of treatment which has produced the ailment.
 Because business men and laboring men both know that a Republican ad- ministration has produced panic, they will not be deceived again by these false cries of Republican calamity howlers. They know that William Jennings Bryan is an honest man; they know that he will give the public an honest administration. They know that the calamity howl is for the sole pur. pose of deception.
