Diamonds

First OF all accept as fact that
you are going TO get only your
moneys worth OF anything
where ever yOu 40.
The article that at first seems"
cheap In price is invariably
cheap in quality. The four dol
lar imitation mahogany chair
shines with greater bFilIiancy
and is usually given more fan
taStic lines than is a fine GEN
uine mahogany chair costing
one hundred dollars. So with
diamonds, the efIash'' is not it's
sole virtue, although TO some it
may seem TO be bargain. A
diamond must have fine color,
proper shape, and perfection
OF texture and only stones haV-
ing these characteristics are
worth while.
A cheap diamond lin quality is
the insignia of the taWdry.

quality the best: in price, fair.

The Reason

Postum builds up the hui
man body to a prime
condition of health, is
that when coffee is left
off, the drug effects of its
poison caffeine -disap-
pear and the elements in
Postum unite with the al
bumen of food to make
gray matter and rebuild
the delicate nerve centers
all over the body and in
the brain.
This sets up a perfect
condition Of nerve health,
and the result is that the
entire body feels the eff
feet of it.

In view of the fact that we have been
represented here for great term of
years, we regret the necessity Of this
action, which is taken only after careful
consideration Of the situation as we find

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

you say the gold reserve is a useless
thing, and agree with you, but
either you or / don't understand that
reserve. The law says when that re-
serve falls below so much, the Gov
eminent must sell bonds to replete
the gold reserve. You remember
Carlisle was Treasurer when Grover
Cleveland was President, and in his
report he tells how many bonds he
sold and how much he got in gold
for each batch he sold in 1893 and
1894, and when he tells how much
he got for each, he says that these
bonds were all sold at par for gold
to replete the gold reserve. So, with
that dirty reserve, we were bonded
to the tune of $262,O0O,000 That
is what we get for the law to swap
dollars one for the other.

IMPORTANCE OF THE FINANCIAL
QUESTION.

Dear Brother Watson All, Thorn
as, you doubter-you fiery fire
eater-you hit hard and square, but
you hit too many things, and do not
always discriminate as carefully as I
could wish you would Where I
think you are wrong, | can not take
off my hat to you; but where [ think
you are right, | admire your pluck
The money rings and the money
kings are chiefly responsible for the
sad plight of this land, and when
ever you discuss the financial ques-
ton, you send terror into the souls of
the money sharks; but when you
switch off to side issues, you seem to
be shorn Samson That is the way
was the currency contraction, after
the War, which did more to transfer
the wealth of the nation to non-pro-
ducers than was done by all other
causes. You know this, and know it
so clearly that you are able to so
tell it that every man who reads
after you will know it too
Now the knights of high finance
are delighted to have you let them
alone and give it to the Missionary
Boards, the protective tariff, the
woolly-pated wards of reconstructive
legislation, or anything else that
comes handy. You can smash So
cialism more effectively by discuss
ing and exposing the schemes of the
promoters of the system of high
finance, than any other way. Those
fellows are behind Socialism far
enough to divert attention from
themselves. D. B. TURNKEY.

to correct you in two places. In an

eenbacks-treasury notes-are alb

WHAT is THE SHIP SUBSIDY?

Dear Sir:-Will you kindly pub

The proposition, in it's latest form,
is to take millions of dollars out Of
our postal revenues, and give the
money, as a bonus, to the few Ameri-
can ship-owners who are running
ships to South America, Australia
and Oceanica. Nobody but those IA
vored few would be benefited.

NEGRO DOMINATION AND UNRE-
STRICTED IMMIGRATION" OUR
DEADLY DANGERS.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-A few days
ago the 'scare-heads'' of the Wash
ington papers told of an ignorant
Italian, employed as track-walker
by the railroad company, placing an
obstruction upon the track in the
new Union Station tunnel of this
city, with the diabolical intention of
derailing an incoming passenger
train from the South. The murder
Gus wretch confessed that his idea
in doing this was to cause a wreck,
which would shoulder the American
workman in charge with criminal
negligence and lead to his being SUI
perseded by an Italian.
A more fiendish and senseless
crime can not we'll be imagined, but
upon whom does the actual respon-
sibility really fall? Upon the ignor-
ant brute of an Italian employee, or
upon the more refined brute of a
railroad official who hired him?
Mr.. Watson, Notwithstanding the
press-made wave of prosperity that
is sweeping over this country, all
thoughtful and disinterested men
see, with fearful forebodings, the
miseries of our people daily increas-
ing and awful abuses constantly en-
quilting our trust-ridden land. Never
were greater crimes committed in the
name of justice than the Unsuitable
greed displayed by the devouring
monopolies under the sanctity of law.
Well may we behold their merciless
operations and tyrannical sway, look
longingly back upon the country of
our forefathers, and sigh for the
liberties that were. These monopo-
lies create the poverty upon which
they thrive, and one of the surest
means, which they have used to de-
base the living standard of our peo-
pie, has been the GROVELLING,
MONGRELIZED, ITALIAN LAZZA-
ROM, whom they have shipped
across the Atlantic like cattle to
compete with, and beat down the
wages of, the American laborer.
Were any one to ask my opinion
as to the causes of our national de-
cay, I should unhesitatingly say, first,
the enfranchisement Of the negro,
and, second, the influx of unrestrict-
ed immigration. Upon these two
pillars of servility and ignorance
rests the infamous arch of the PRO-
