AN OPEN LETTER.
Mr Crossley's Slander of W. J Bryan
, Refuted.
Bennet, Neb., Sept 14, 1896. Charles
Crossley, Esq., Lincoln, Neb. Dear Sir;
In your letter of recent date to Mr. W. S.
Blackstone of Apple River, 111., and pub
lished in the Gazette September 10, you
ask me if we are not proud of our presi
dential candidate. Well, Billy we all
call him Billy here is a good citizen and
neighbor. We live just three blocks from
him, but we think he would make a poor
president. He will never carry his ward,
' city nor state. He is not even a second
class lawyer. We are going to turn him
, down in November. Then he can come
back to his 7x9 office and practice law
again. A canvass of the old soldiers
hereon Friday showed 2,814 for McKin
ley and 61 for Mr. Bryan, and thus it
will be all over Nebraska when the gong
sounds on November 3, next. Hurrah
for McKinley, sound money and pro
tection."
My reply is this: Now Mr. Crossley read
the letter carefully you penned to Mr,
Blackstone, and I think any sane man
will be ashamed of it in print1. Evidently
Mr. Crossly you have been engaged by
the Lincoln boodle gang to shout for
and display your ignorance etc. Yes,
Mr. Crossley, we and the state of Ne
braska are very proud of the Hon. W.
J. Bryan, one of the brainiest men the
state ever produced. He is truly a sec
ond Abraham Lincoln. It seems Mr.
Crossley, you have .cast an insult upon
Mr. Bryan and the state of Nebraska by
having th.at letter published in the Ga
iette. We trust you will hasten to do
justice to Mr. Bryan and the state o
Nebraska to have your statements re
tracted. Yon remember the republican
rally in Lincoln on August 27 when Mr,
Bryan's picture was burned. That act
alone of vandalism secured a large num
ber of votes for Mr. Bryan. The repub
lican gang is thoroughly alarmed as
certain defeat staring them in the face ,
Hence their desperation. Yes Mr. Cross
ley, W. J. Bryan will carry his ward, his
county, and also his state by 25,000 or
over. I think, Mr. Crossley, when I have
your letter published in the Lincoln pa
pers it will gain a number of votes for
Mr. Bryan. Hurrah for Mr. BryanI free
dom and prosperity!. With kind regards
for your welfare, Mr. Crossley, I am,
Yours truly,
Thomas Knox.
' Goldbugs, How Abt This ?
The gold standard people insist that
the free coinage of silver would Mexican,
ize this country. Supposing their pre
dictions to be correct, what say
they to the following letter recently writ
ten to W. B. Price of this city, explana
tory of the conditions in Mexico and
what they would be in the United
States under free coinage: V:
Mexico City, Mexico. Dear Sir: Mr.
D. E. Thompson just left here yesterday
for Lincoln. He bought a large tract of
land very close to my plantation and he
also bough t "a large tract in Tampico,
He told me he would willingly sell
out all of his interest in Nebraska
for one half what it was
worth and come to Mexico if he could,
but that it was not possible to sell any
thing there at present. Mr. Thompson
see.ns to be a very nice man and I was
pleased to have him invest in Mexico. I
think we are going to have the
biggest boom in land here that any
country ever saw. Last winter there
were thousands of investors here and
this coming fall and winter there will be
a great many more. Truly yours.

A Noted Corruptlouist.
Paul Vandervoort, the most noted
corruptionist this state has ever known,
is trying to lead a middle of the road
populist break from Bryan. No one
need be afraid of his work. No true pop
ulist will listen to Paul, let alone doing
as he says. Seventy-five thousand pop
ulists would send up a glad "amen
should Vandervoort return to the party
he came from. We have suffered enough
in the past from his kind and the best
thing the Douglas county convention
did last spring was to leave him off the
delegation to the state convention.

A folder has been received at thisofflce,

"We, the undersigned residents of

political action, to the end that our con
victions may be expressed by our votes:
and suggest the following as some of the
reasons for such action."
" Then followed some very cogent rea
sons after which they appeal to their
fellow republicans and say:
"We confidently appeal to your in
telligence and patriotism to join ns in
this battle. This time is ripe, our leader
is trusty and time a man of tbs people
who will not betray us. Let us imitate
him by putting principle above party,

THE VALU8 Of MONEY.
A Dollar Will Alwaya Buy a Dollar's
Worth.
To the Editor: In the Constitution
"when it says congress shall have power
to coin money and regulate the value
thereof our goldite friends tell us that
congress cannot do this. The argument
is that if we re-establish free coinage the
dollar will be worth only 53 cents, hence
will only purchase 53 cents worth.
They do not say so, but the final con
clusion is a dollar will not purchase a
dollar's worth, which every man knows
is not so. They stop before they get to
the final conclusion.
When power was delegated by the con
stitution to congress to coin money and
regulate the value thereof, there was no
thought as to how many bushels of corn
or pounds of pork a dollar would buy.
This is not the idea of value as expressed
in the constitution. Congress makes a
coin out of silver, the weight thereof is
412 grains. Congress says the value
of this coin is "one dollar." It don't
say bow many pounds or bushels of any
thing it will buy, but it does tell you the
value, which is one dollar.
Congress Makes a coin of 25.8 grains
of gold. It says the value of this is ten
dollars but it don't tell yon how many
pounds of sugar it will buy nor anything
else it will buy. It simply names the
value of the coin. So with every other
coin congress always fixes the value but
never pretends to tell how much it will
buy. It will always buy a dollars worth
without any reference to the quantity of
the stuff you get. Sometimes you will
get more and sometimes less of any giv
en product but always a dollars worth.
Hence if your note calls for one hundred
"dollars," and you can get hold of 100
dollar coins they will pay your note
and you will be no debt shaver either. A
dollar is a "dollar" now and ever more
will be, until the entire monetary system
of the Duited States changed.

HE 0UHE8 ALL-
Dr- Hathaway Has Done Grand Work for
Suffering Humanity-
Among the additions to science in the
closing of the nineteenth century, which
redound to the benefit of all mankind,
there is nothing for which humanity
should be so grateful as the progress
made by its physicians. Diseases that
have heretofore baffled the skill of physi
cians for hundreds of years, have now,
through the study of onr advanced sci
entists, become almost as simple as trifl
ing acnes.
Among those who are doing grand
work is Dr. Hathaway. His studies have
been for many years solely in the inter
est of the sexes and the promotion of
the health and physical vigor, without
which life has no charm.
It has been Dr. Hathaway's one am
bition to further the happiness of his
fellow beings, and to tiuch proficiency
has he arrived in bis chosen field, that
from bis office he is able to cure diseases
that vbut for him would destroy, not
only everything in life worth having,
but even lite itself.
Should anyone doubt the efficiency of
Dr. Hathaway & Co's cure they will be
furnished with thousands of testimo
nials from people of public reputation,
whose cures have been absolute. The
beauty of the Hathaway treatment is
that it is not neoessary to consult the
eminent specialist in person, he having1
brought his remedy to such perfection
that to any one desiring to consult him
he will mail a blank suitable for either
man or woman. 'On these blanks are
propounded questions which should be
truthfully answered and mailed to Dr.
Hathaway & Co. The replies will tell
the patients what to do.
Thousands upon thousands of test!
monials from the most remote part of
the country testify 4o renewed life and
happiness which his treatment has
brought about. The Dr. Hathaway &
Co's treatment, unlike that of would-be
doctors, cures permanently, and there
fore the dread disease, the moment you
stop your treatment, does not return
This is especially true of the delicate dis
eases which are private in their nature.
Dr. Hathaway & Co. particularly invite
the confidence of those who are suffering
from chronic, nervous, catarrhal, skin
and blood disorders. The eminent spec
ialist himself and the corps of physicians
under him are qualified by their long
experience and study to treat success
fully any'disease in its most chronic
form, and their ability is materially as
sisted by the splendid equipment of the
company, which is not equaled by any
three institutions of its kind in the Unit
ed States. Write them and describe
your case fully. Dr. Hathaway &Co.,

No better equipped man could have
been named for attorney general than
C. J. Smyth of Omaha. An upright,
honorable gentleman, a practioner who
stands high at the bar, a citizen above
reproach, he compa res with the present
legal adviser of the state as a giant to a
pigmy. The duties of the office of attor
ney general have not received much of
the time of the present incumbent,
whose record as a lawyer in Nebraska
dates from the time when he was indicted
in Iowa for appropriating to himself the
wealth of another man. His incompet
ency is notorious, and the next attorney
win be a clean man and acompetent law

Albion, Neb., Sept. 21, ltWO.-To the
Editor: I knew, a tnau wbo bought a
farm for 5,000 bushels of corn. He was
to pay 1,000 buxpels per year and had
the privilege of paying it all at any time.
Corn went down, if I remember right,
from 40 cents to 25 cents. He bought
the number of bushels of corn and took
up his obligation the first year. He was
an honorable and honest man, so regard
ed by the entire community, as well as
his creditor.
This government contracted a debt
payable in coin. We are told that the
material out of which the coin is made
has so depreciated that enough can be
bought for 53 cents to make a dollar.
It strikes me that any government
that hasn't got brains enough and busi
ness management enough to use this
material and coin the dollars and pay
off its debts hasn't got brains enough to
exist. D. J. Coynter.
