the bolting silver "republican, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, is that "the bask

This is untrue. The United States this
year will produce $54,000,000 in gold.
The mint at San Francisco the past
month coined $600,000 in silver, and all
the mints will coin $3,000,000 per month.
No party or class desires the contraction
of the currency. The great majority
has no enmity to silver. Its only desire
is to keep it, as now, as good as gold.
The republican party is not now, nor has
it ever been the enemy of silver.

they have done so without doing injus

ad Bad Effects From
Competition.
The workings of the Gorman-Wilson
tariff continue to disturb business iu
this section. Merchants report a consid
erable falling off in their sales from
those of last year, which has been rather
discouraging to them. The lumber busi
ness is dull, Canadian competition hav
ing aearly ruined it One of the largest
aMaufactureraof lumber has announced
his determination not to purchase logs
this winter, which will be a heavy blow
to timber owners in this region, as it
deprives many of our farmers of the
asaans to obtain ready cash as heretofore.
This town also possesses one of the
largest sole leather tanneries in the
state, which in a few weeks will close
its doors for an indefinite period, thus
throwing out of employmenst 125 men.
The cause of this suspension is claimed
to he overproduction, but what has been
the cause of overproduction? Never in
the history of the tanning business in
this town has there been any difficulty
in marketing the leather produced in
oar tannery until the Democratic party
came into power with its maladminis
tration of the financial policies of the
nation. This blow will fall heavier on
Business than any other, as it was the
chief industry here, and will reduce
early every employee to idleness.
The triumph of the Republican party
oa Nov. 5 tended to enliven business in
very circle wherein foreign competition
does not come, but where our business
men find the cheaper products of Canada
and the old world coming into competi
tion with our home products there are
stagnation and loss and always will be
until the grand triumph of the Repub
lican protection party in 1896 shall
sweep out of existence the last vestige
of the Democratic free trade business

the time when this nation shall be
freed from the presence of the Demo
cratic party in every branch of govern

THROUGH WITH "CONJECTURING."
That Saw Don For the First Tiass
Ia Thalr History.
Hardly a day passes but the Amer
ican people are sadly reminded of the
fact that a free trade administration
till reigns over our country, and that
the free trade plot to ruin the industries
of the Unitad States still drivnn manu
facturers, farmers and labor down the
road that surely leads to poverty and
ffiwH1 embarrassment.
A most remarkable result of the de
strnctiveneES of the Cleveland adminis
tration is shown in the following ex
tract taken from a tariff reform daily
paper:
''Today, for the first time in the his
tory of the britannia shop, the principal
departments shut down on a Saturday
toward the latter part of November, a
time that is always recognized as the
busiest month in the year.
"The German silver and a few other
departments are running today, but the
tost of the employees are taking a day's
vacation.
"Even the flatware burnishing room
shut down last evening until Monday
next Work is also slack in the other
silver factories, and the oldest employees
are conjecturing as to the causes for this
state of affairs. "
The Meriden Britannia company is
well known throughout the country as
one of the oldest, as well as the largest,
concerns engaged in the manufacture of
silver plated wares, and its 'flatware
branch has been a large and important
part of its trade.
The flatware has always been consid
ered a "staple." Knives, forks and
spoons are necessary articles in every
household and cannot be regarded as
luxuries, and when people cannot afford
to buy them it looks as though the
times were so bad, and the people so
poor, that folks were obliged to use
their fingers in place of forks. The
Cleveland paper says that "the oldest
employees are conjecturing as to the
causes for this state of affairs. " This is
wrong. They are through with "conjeo
taring." They know what ails the coun
try. They are intelligent men and are
Terywell aware that the Democratic
free trade administration has robbed
them of their work by destroying Amer
ican indastries.
Ourv(Briti&u) export of woolen goods
shows a satisfactory increase to most
countries, though of the total gain of
183,317 for the month no -less than
103,509 appears in the exports to the
United- States. The recovery in this
quarter saay be judged of from the fact
that the total shipments of woolen goods
totheatates in October last year were
valasd at only 14,630. An almost
ajwtt expansion is shown as regards
worsted fabrics, for, whereas shipments
to America in October, 1894, were val
ued at only 111,029, they last month
reached a total of 405,589. During the
carreat year nearly one-half of -our total
exports of worsted goods have gone to
the United States, the value being 4,

the first tea months of 1894. London

In public dismissions as to the fltneas
of the several aspirants for the Repub
lican nomination to the presidency it
seems to me that a very few important
essentials are entirely overlooked. News
paper writers who do not appreciate ot
who are not in touch with the sentiment
of the masses of the people fail to reach
a true understanding of their desires.
Moreover, they overlook all future pos
sibilities, as a rule. There are very few
newspaper writers who look far into the
future or who really think. They are
content with the business of the day,
with the events of the day, caring little
for the morrow or taking heed what a
day may bring forth.
But there is more real earnestness in
the minds and considerations of the
masses of the people than we would be
led to imagine, judging by the tenor
and tone of our daily press. And the
events of the past few years have devel
oped this earnestness of thought Men
have been brought face to face with the
affairs of the morrow. They have been
compelled to take heed what a day may
bring forth. "A condition, not a theory,
has confronted them. " Dwell for a mo
ment upon the position of a man who,
year in and year out, has been able to
sell his labor for good wages. He has
lived well; he has given his family far
better education than he was himself
enabled to secure; he is procuring a
home for them; he is giving them com
forts and little luxuries, the ability to
do which cheers him at his work and
adds zestto his homecoming. Let such
a man, through no fault of his own, be
brought face to face with the fact that
on the morrow there vill be no demand
for his labor, that he cannot sell his
finished product the strength of his
arm and the mechanical skill of his
brain in the great markets of the Unit
ed States.
It has taken many men a long time
to realize fully the true depth of what
this means: At work day after day,
wages earned week after week, year in
and year out ' 'But tomorrow I cannot
sell my labor. My boas has no use for
it What does it mean?" Imagine a
steady, hard working man suddenly con
fronted with such a condition. Imagine
him, if you can. going home to his wife,
to his children, telling them that he is
an idler, that he cannot earn for them
their next day's bread and meat There
is no demand for his strength or sldlL
Nobody needs him. He feels his arm,
his muscle. It is good and strong as
ever. The paralysis is not there. But the
country is paralyzed paralyzed with
the cheap labor products of foreign
mills, sent here from foreign countries,
admitted into our markets by the Demo
cratic party, that promised him higher
wages, more work, cheaper goods and a
period of prosperity and revelry such as
he had never dreamed of.
And where are his higher wages? He
has no work. Where is that period of
prosperity and revelry? Alas, he has the
time to enjoy it, his time is all his own!
But he sees no prospeirty, no revelry.
Even happiness, the true happiness of
industry, has fled from his home. And
the "cheaper" goods, the product of
"cheap" foreign labor that has sup
planted his own labor, that has made
him an idler, how can he buy these
"cheaper" goods when he lacks the
money to buy such food as he had been
accustomed to provide for his family
and which they must now do without?
Of what use to him are these "cheap"
goods? They have "cheapened" his lu
bor and stand fur more costly to him
today because ' his inability to earn
the money that will buy for him the
veriest trash that was ever made in a
foreign factory or in a European prison.
Such are the "cheap" goods that he
was promised. They are offered to nun,
it is true. But he has not got them, be
cause they have made his 'labor still
"cheaper," so "cheap" that there is no
demand for it at any price.
Has not this man been thinking? Has
he not been talking with his fellow
workers in their hours of compulsory
idleness of the reason for this "change?"
Don't they know that -they have run
their heads up against a "condition?"
How long does it take these hardhead
ed thinkers to fathom out the facts, to
reach bedrock, to get down to the root
of their evil? They know that every
case of foreign goods sold here repre
sents, say, $50 to foreign labor and that
it represents ,$100 taken away from
American labor. It doesn't take long to
think that out And the empty dinner
pail still stands upon the kitchen shelf,
that dinner pail which was such a "tax"
to them in 1892. There is time now to
polish it up and smooth out the kinks
that it incurred through daily use. Bat
tered in the honest service of honest soil!
Rusting in idleness! Ob, for the chance
to buy another McKinley "taxed" din
ner pail! Ob, for the chance to brand
the Democratic free trade lie with the
infamy it deserves! The chance is com
ing; the opportunity will soon be here.
Hold on bravely for a few months longer,
you honest American wage earners, and
you shall have the chance, you shall
have the opportunity to vote to fill those
dinner pails to the full again and to
keep them filled even though the Demo
cratic liar tells you they are "taxed."
There is no' "tax" so heavy as the "tax"
of idleness.
McKinley protection gave you your
dinner pails ami filled them for you.
Democratic damnation has emptied
them. And this is the reason why the
masses of the people the millions de
mand the nomination of William Mc
Kinley for president of the United States.

THE VALUE OF-SALT.
For She Fiipsss a
off a Coat For Capita.
The per capita consumption of salt,
for all purposes, in this country is 5$
pounds per annum. The McKinley duty
was $1.60 a ton. The WilaYm-Gormaa-diaers
placed it on the free list-If the
consumers reap the whole benefit of the
$1.60 a ton, it means a saving to them
of leas than 4 cents each, even should
they reap the benefit on the entire con
sumption. In point of fact the.duties
collected in 1891, the highest under the
McKinley 'law, were $408,790, or less
than six-tenths of a cent per capita.
To accomplish this saving of $408,
700, the wages distributed in the Wy
oming valley saltfield alone fell off
$885,000 in 1895 below the amount in
1891, while the railroads running
through that field lost $800,000 and the
coopearge and cotton bagging industries
lost $485,000. Here is a loss in one salt
field alone of $1,620,000. as against a
possible saving of $408, 790.
And there are many other saltfields
in'the country as productive as that in
and around Wyoming county, N. Y.,
which have suffereil n heavily. The
item of labor in the salt plants alone in
this one field has been decreased by an
amount substantially equal to the duty
collected in 1891, and yet labor in the
salt plants suffered but one-fourth of
the loss directly occasioned by free trade
in salt.

Agriculture and manufactures should
go hand in hand; theoue enriches the
other; the one trades with the other.
They are mutually dependent one upon
the other. There is no conflict of inter
est Agriculture increases in its proa-'
nets and its wealth with the growth and
increase of manufactures. Prices are
better, steadier and more reliable to the
farmer with prosperous manufacturing
industries employing labor which con
sumes and does not compete with his
products. Impair or destroy our ability
to manufacture, strike down any of our
great manufactures, and the farmer
would be the first to seriously feel the
loss. Dismiss the army of operatives
from the workshop and send them to the
great unoccupied and fertile lands of
the west, and the farmer would not only
lose just so many consumers or custom
ers, but more than that, be would find
them as his competitors in the field of
production. Hon. William McKinley.

I believe the reciprocity clauses which
were added to the McKinley bill in the
senate tended to weaken it as a revenue
measure, and that the results of all the
treaties and agreements made for recip
rocal exchange of products on special
terms between the United States and
other countries ended in a loss of reve

Their adherence to the doctrine rests on
broad, patriotic views of enlightened

We feel that it is no longer necessary
to make an argument for protection in

being made by-the silent water wheel,
by the still spindles, by the 'smokeless

Grand Opportunity
The last congress might have used
free wool as a mighty lever to open the
markets of the wool growing countries
to the agricultural and manufactured
products of 'the United States. On the
contrary, the Democratic party not only
repealed the reciprocity law?, but it con
ferred upon the wool growing countries
the benefits of free access to the markets
of this country for their wool without
exacting a reciprocal benefit of any kind
in return. Free wool was a free gift to
the foreigners without gaining from
them the benefit of an additional mar
ket among them for a single pound of
American pork or a bushel of American
wheat

This is what the country needs: Lees
money sent abroad to pay for foreign
grown corn and foreign made goods, and
consequently more work for the British

What It Cast
The loss in wages to those engaged ia
strikes in Connecticut last year, as esti
mated by the state bureau of labor sta
tistics, was $929,400. The loss to em
ployers was $92,800. less than one-tenth
of the amount lost by the wage earners.
Schuyler Sun: The Fnlmer boys have
a horse which has the lock jaw. It was
caused by the animal stepping on a nail
and running it into its foot. The poor
horse's jaws are closed so tightly that it
cannot eat and will probably have to be
killed.
Seward Blade: A farmer near Ruby,
who had a field of oats that was down
so flat that it could not be bound with
a machine, concluded that it was not
worth saving and tried to burn it, but it
was too green to burn. He finally con
cluded to cut,it, without trying to bind
it into bundles, which he did. He then
gathered it up and threshed it, when to
his astonishment he got almost fifty
bushels to the acre.
Fremont Tribune: R. M. Allen, man
ager of the Standard Cattle company's
business at Ames, was in the city this
forenoon on his way home from Chicago,
where he had been with a shipment of
cattle from the Wyoming ranges. He
said the company's stock is in very fine
condition and that this shipment touch
ed the top notch on the market. The
cattle averaged 1290 pounds, bringing
$3.70 per cwt. A similar shipment one
year ago, averaging only two pounds
lees than this one, brought nearly one
dollar per cwt more than this. Mr.
Allen says that this reduction in the
market price will make a difference of
from 950,000 to 9100,000 to the company
on this year's shipments.
