that if Bryan was not endorsed by
the St. Louis convention it would
be because republican booodle had

This stand is not strange. The

PHAEMACY
A report just published by the
Ohio commissioner of industrial
statistics makes an exhibit showing
the falling off of in the number of
men employed in factories of that
state for the year 1895 over that of
1894 to be 58,000. It also shows
there was a reduction in the amount
of wages paid to the extent of over
$22,000,000. This is an appalling
decrease and explains precisely why
McKinley is a presidental nomineej
whose election is assured. The
farmers appreciate the fact- that
this $22,000,000 has hitherto been
paid to them for their products
which are now going begging at
ridiculously low prices. But mean

been humming. Fremont Tribune.

Mr. Edward Atkinson, the well
known political economist, writing
on the silver question years ago
said: "The annual value of the
PLATTE, - - ITEBEASEZA silver product is about $40,000,000
in gold. The production or the
hen yards of the United States, ac
cording to the census statistics,
was, in 1879, 456.910,916 dozen
eggs, and. if hens have increased
in the ratio of population, it is now
500,000,000 dozen, which, at only
10c a dozen, would exceed the value
of the product of the silver mines.
It would be vastly more reasonable
for congress to order the compul
sory purchase of $2,000,000 worth
of eggs per month, 'in order to sus
tain the ben products of the United
States.' than it is to buy $2,000,000
worth of silver; because the eggs
could be used, or else would rot,
while the silver can not be used,
and is expensive to store and to
watch."

Beview of the Conntry Since the
Coinage of Sllrer Was Stopped.
The free coinago of silver stopped in
1873, but protective tariffs were steadily
maintained and made higher from timo
to timo for 20 years from that date and
until Mr. Cleveland aud his party came
into power with a mandate to lower
them to the "revenuo only" level.
Now, what is the record of thoso 20
years irom 187a to loua, with silver
coinage suspended all the time, but with
protective tariff policy steadfastly
maintained? In thoso 20 years we re
duced tho national debt $1,230,000,000
aud the annual interest chargo-over $9 1, -000,000.
From 1870 to 1890 we in
creased our national wealth from $30,
000,000,000 to $G5, 000, 000, 000. In ad
dition to payiug the national debt and
adding so vastly to our wealth, individ
uals had deposited over $2,000,000,000
in savings banks and building and loan
associations, acquired during this period.
Tho amount paid in wages to the 8, 750,
000 employees in our manufactories in
1890 was $2,225,000,000, and tho value
of tho product aggregated $9,372,000,
000, exceeding by 125 per cent that of
any other country in the world. In the
like timo the manufacture of pig iron
increased 200 per cent, railroad mileage
over 150 per cent, tho passenger traffic
500 per cent and the number of freight
tons moved nearly 400 per cent. So
that, writing in May, 1892, when Mr.
Harrison was president and tho McKin
ley tariff was in full operation, though
free coinage had been denied to silver
for nearly 20 years, Hon. Carroll D.
Wright, the eminent statistician, who
is not a partisan pleader on either side,
gave tlKfi testimony to the then existing
condition of tho country :
"There has never been a period in
this or any other country when the gen
eral rate of wages was so high as it is
now or the price of goods relatively to
the wages as low as they are today, nor
a period when the workman, in the
strict sense of tho word, has so fully se
cured to big own use and enjoyment
such a steadily aud progressively in
creasing proportion of a constantly in
creasing product "
That was tho general condition of our
people in May, 1892. Within a mouth
of the election of Mr. Clevelaud, pledged
to the overthrow of protection, and be
foro it was known or even suspected,
that ho proposed to contract the currency
and to enter upon tho aggressive policy
in favor of gold monometallism which
ho subsequently developed, this general
condition of tho country described by
Mr. Wright had begun to disappear. It
was not what Mr. Cleveland was going
to do about silver, for that was then in
doubt, but what he meant to do about
tho tariff, which was in no doubt at all,
that started all forms of industrial aud
commercial business on tho down grade
of depression, panic aud collapse. New
York Recorder.

A False Note.
The Chicago convention, made up for
tho greater part of interlopers from the
various Populistic organizations of the
south and west and by a few score of
unconscionable scalawags from tho
north wearing the collars of bosses like
Altgcld, has not only spoken falsely for
tho Democracy, it has degraded and dis
graced the American namo before tho
world in a manner that no similar gath
ering ever equaled and which every pa
triot may fervently hope no succeeding
aggregation o moral and intellectual
degenerates over will imitate. f '
