A Perfeet Man ISN'T often met with in this life, but it is every man's duty to be as nearly perfect as possible. To reach that state of "perfection" a man can't be a slouch as far as his personal appearance is con cerned. He must of necessity have some style about him and adorn his physique with something neat in the way of clothing. It is because of this crying "necessity" for clothing that VVESCOTT & SON are doing business. There are lots of people in the clothing business nowadays, but they don't all sell desirable clothing. One man tells you he sells clothing cheap. Perhaps he does, as far as the quantity of money demanded is concerned, but if that self-same article is but an im itation of good, honest clothing, it strikes us that the cry of "cheap" is reall a cry of "cheat," and the re sult is that your money is gone, with nothing of real value received in return. Wescott 3cotl Don't handle "cheap" clothing they wouldn't stay in business for a week if they could not offer custom ers something besides "cheap" clothing. Instead, the WESCOTTS handle HONEST CLOTHING, Honest in quality honest in stylo and neat fitting and honest in price. These are the goods you find at W-ESCOTTS. and understand, you'll find none other. Everybody knows the old truism "Honesty is the best policy." We know it, and our countless custom ers in times past are fully aware that such has been our policy. Everything sold at WESCOTT'S is backed by an absolute guarantee as being honest in every particular that goes to make an article desirable to the wearer. We buy the goods that way and we sell them that way, and our statements are supported with "Your money back if you are not fully satisfied. C. E. WESCOTT & SON.

The bakers of Omaha have formed a trust and refuse to sell more than 36 loaves for a dollar. Fifty loaves was the number sold before. That provision of the law which re quires railway companies operating lines to connect within the corporate limits of cities seems to be a dead letter in Plattsmouth. RErunLiCANS who rejoice over the defeat of Chairman Wilson should not forget that" Chairman" McKinley was defeated for re-election to congress just after the tariff passed in 1890. Good spellers are often "stumped' when asked to write fromdictation the following sentence. "It is disagreeable to witness the unparalleled embarrass ment of an harrassed peddler gauging the symmetry of a peeled year." A royalist plot has been discovered and frustrated at Honolulu. A man named Katzer organized the plot. He is an American newspaper man and did it more for notoriety than any thing else. Coffjee is taxed $310 a ton in France, $230 in Italy, $200 in Austria, il2." in Fortugal, $120 ia Norway. $100 in Ger many and Spain, $75 inllussiaand$70 in Great Britain. Coffee comes into this country free cf duty. A composite picture of Mr. Carlisle in 1878 denouncing the conspiracy to demonetize silver, and of Secretary Carlisle issuing $50,000,000 of gold bonds at the dictation of those same "conspirators" would be an interest ing study. c a C. AVAKNER ON 1JONDS. Gen. A.J. Warner, president of the bimetallic league, writes the New York Sun in opposition to the bond issue. "It is manifest,' says he,"that the gold standard cannot be main tained ia that way. We are a debtor nation; as a people we must pay to other countries annually as interest and loans and other dues not less than $250,000,000. This is, after balancing imports with exports we must still pay this sum besides. This must be paid in gold or in commodities. We could pay thi3 interest for a single year in gold without the gold breaking down. It can be paid in commodities only on condition that we will sell them as low as any other country. In fact, we must offer our products rather than demand gold. It is evident from the continued shipments of gold during 1894 that we have not been payirjg the interest we owe abroad with products. We can permanently stop the outflow of gold, as long as gold alone continues to be standard money, in no way but by putting down prices low enough to induce other countries to send gold to us for products, or, at any rate, to take goods instead of gold for what we owe them. "This being the case, any attempt to raise the price level of things here above the international gold level, either by protective tariffs or by cur rency expansion, as is now proposed, must necessarily result in a more rapid expulsion of gold and a consequent ultimate further fall of prices. In deed, nothing is better settled in ua tional economies than that no debtor nation, however desirable such a policy might be, can make tariff! measures effective to raise prices. Undoubtedly the importation of goods into this country may be checked somewhat by high tariffs, but this is all that can be done; and it is simply stupid to attempt, under conditions now existing in this country, to raise prices and make good times by McKinley tariffs. It is un dertaking what is impossible to carry out, and for this reason there will not very soon be another political battle fought over the tariff.". Some one has sent us a pamphlet en titled "The only practical and possible Bimetallism a few fundamental truths relating to money and coinage, by Henry Wood." Having rea1 the work we Gnd it a nicely-worded rehash of the stock arguments of mono-metal-, v. Wescott EL ?m?ro??m?row?ro??wmmmm???fWK $25 in U. S. Notes Given Away. We have had made for us a number of skeleton keys after the style us,cd by Uncle Sam. A cabinet containing $25.00 in U. S. notes is now displayed in our show window, this cabinet has a lock and only one key will fit it. The person holding this lucky key will be presented with the 525.00 absolutely free. A key will be given free to every purchaser buying $1.00 worth of goods at our store ; $2.00 two keys, etc. To glance at these keys they all look alike, but on closer examination it will be found that they are all slightly different, and only one of those distributed will open the door ot the box. The locking and sealing of this box with the $25.00 inside was conducted by such responsible and solid business men whose signatures appear below, and is a guarantee of the straight forwardness and genuineness which character izes all our dealings. We, the undersigned, have locked this box, (Containing $25.00, and placed the key among the other keys to be given away as stated by C. E. Wescott & Son. We have also put our seal over the lock, and no living soul, not even the Wescott's themselves can tell which the right key is that will open the box. SlGNEI, Samuel Waugh, Cashier First National Bank. W. K. Fox, Postmaster Plattsmouth. J. C. Eikenbary, Sheriff Cass County. Geo. A. Hay, Register of Deeds. Everybody can't get the correct key, but everybody can take advantage of nearly a $25,000.00 stock of new and desirable Clothing, Furnishing Goods, Hats, Caps, Shoes, etc., at lower prices than was ever sold in this city or any other city, and if you happen to get the right key you will not only get the best bargain you ever got in Clothing, but you will be $25.00 ahead Get the Bargains. Get the Keys. CL Wescott d3 Son. IE Wescott lists, containing absolutely nothing new, but a cheap line of arguments based upon false premises, and unfair deductions from established f;ict3. The writer i3 evidently in the pay of the banking or Sliylock franternity, and is probably earning his pay by taking things for granted which are disputed, his aptness for substituting falsehood for truth, and for upholding the interests of the money loaning fra ternity as against the money-earners. In short the whole argument is for a single gold standard as the only solu tion of the money problem. Coupled with it is the advice that as much silver money as can be tloated at par with gold should be kept in circulation. Henry Wood is a false teicher whose purpose is to further enrich the rich at the expense of the poor. Attorney General Olxey de serves a chrorao, certainly if nothing better. He has lately held that the U. S. army has no constitutional power to enter the Indian territory for the pur pose of ridding that country of the Cook gang of outlaws, because the five tribes are independent nations with whom we are in treaty relations. The gang can, therefore, continue to harass and destroy life and destroy property in the contiguous territory of Oklahoma and Arkansas, without help from the Uniced States army. Last summer however, when trouble occurred in the sovereign state of Illinois, Mr. Ol ney found justification for sending the troops there without the request or sanction of the governor or its legisla ture, to suppress pretended riots and threatened destruction of property, while the circumstances and events showed that they were not needed, and it was a pure usurpation of unconstitu tional power. What kind of an attor ney general have we pot, anyhow? Tom Majoks has declined to make a contest for the governorship, saying, in a manly way, that "neither I nor any of my friends will undertake any proceedings that may even have the appearance of violating the exalted principles of the republican party," which, he says, "advocates a free bal lot and a fair count." It is character istic of Tom to be manly, and it takes manliness to give up gracefully when he is beaten. 0 at, 5on THE tCKKKXCV QlKStlO.N COKKKCT I.Y 5TATKl. The following are ihe resolutions adopted by the Trans-Mississippi con gress, held at St, Louis this week as offered by Mr. Bryan: Besolved, First, that lu diiectoppo sitiuu to the plan known as the Balti more plan, the sense ot tiiis convention is that ail issues of paper money should be by the general government. Second, that it is the sense of this convention that the pending proposi tion lor ix reiormatiou of our paper currency is one that in our judgment would create additional and perhaps insurmountable diflicultiea to the re turn to bimetallism, and that we are opposed to the same. Third, that in any currency plan acted upon we demand that a consti tuent part thereof shall be the rtmo netization of silver or that it shall be of such a charachter as to he no im pediment to our return to bimetallism as it existed prior to 1S73. Whereas, An appreciating money standard impairs all contracts, bank ruptsenterprise, makes idle money pro fitable by increasing its ptiichasing power and suspends the productive forces of our people, and. Whereas, The spoilatian conse quent upon the outlawry of silver in the interest of tbecreditorclassby con stantly increasing the value of gold is underminining all industrial society, therefore. We demand the immediate restora tion of the f rpe and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ration of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of anv other nation on earth. II. M. Busiisell of the Iincoln Call and Tim Sedgewick of t ha oik Ilepublican are candidates for the sec retaryship of the senate. It's a battle royal between two well-matched fel lows. They both deseive tke place, but if it were ours to give we should say, to make old scores even, give it to Bush. The agricultural implement manu factures of the United States are al ready preparing to take advantage of the lowering of duties on their products by the Argentine Republic. When the Yankees begin in earnest to push for the South America trade, as they will now be enabled to do as a result of the Wilson bill, English and German man ufacturers will have to get out of the way and no mistake. The real strength of a united demo cracy in Nebraska maybe pioperly based oa the vote for U. S. senator, as the whole party was united on the elec tion of Wm. J- Bryan. On that propo- He Shivered and Shook!" That is the D will make about a man on some of the cold, frosty mornings which this Nebraska climate has in store for us during the coming winter. The trouble will be in the fact that this man hadn't moved in the right direc tion for his winter coverings. Per haps he hadn't moved at all. Any way it ought to be prevented, for it doesn't take much of a "roll" to clothe the body warmly and satis factorily at WESCOTT'S. o We've scads of things which will prevent these dreaded "shiverings" of the winter season, and we're dead anxious to sell them to people who want some thing really honest or reliable in our line. If you are not a judge of fabrics, or if you cannot tell about tailoring, you are safe at WESCOTT'S. Our guar antee is absolute, and you cannot possibly be deceived. -zy ? DOX'T lose sight ot our "$25 cabinet" proposition. Every purchase of $1.00 in merchandise gets a key. Next February every holder of a key will be given a chance to open the cabinet. One key will fit the lock, and the lucky holder gets the money. We still have plenty, of keys, but WES COTT'S clothing is so prime in quality that the keys are going at a rapid rate, so before the ides of February are upon us, you'd bet ter be on the safe side and get a key. Weseott Rockwood Plattsmouth, sition, with practically no opposition to bring out a full vote, Mr. Bryan re ceived something over 80,000 votes. 1. is fair to assume that with Mr. Bryan at the head of the ticket the party would cast at least as many votes as he received for senator and that is nearly twice as many fs Mr. Morton received fur governor.
