Then comes the pipe of tobacco,

the 20 cents? No one will question
that the fanner gets about three-fifths

Then the railroad gets some, the
wholesaler, the grocer, the butcher and
the baker.
Suppose there were 10,000,000 full

that would be $300,000,000 for the

Now as to the stomach question:
The Bryan organs say that the work
ingman and his family want something
besides a full stomach. And the full
dinner pall Is sneered at We agree
that the laborer wants something more
than the full stomach, but we go fur
ther and say that he gets It
The dinner pall Is only a weather
cock. When the pall Is full and the
stomach Is full, then we see the bank

It Is the full boiler that means steam

It Is the full stomach that means effi
cient work.
Then, again, when the dinner pall Is
full the lunch counter and the res
taurant and the dining rooms are well
patronized, and all the while the In

TEST OF PROSPERITY.
itreet'a Benerta Fewer Falleeee
Taaa Fer Klsateoa Years.
"Btjadstreef s," that argus eyed ob
server of trade conditions In this coun
try, calls attention to the fact that the
failures reported for the past six
months are the fewest in number for
the same period In 18 years. There
were 4,880 failures with estimated as
sets at $27,475,514 and' liabilities of
$00,064,208.
In the face of these facts a person
would be foolhardy to declare that
business has not prospered under Re
publican control. The record of the
past four years, or since McKlnley
took office in Washington,, shows a
steady decline in the number of fail
ures and In liabilities. This is, of
course, an isolated trade fact, but when
It is combined with the other factors
of the business situation an Interest
ing condition Is discovered.
The bank clearings throughout the
country have steadily grown, showing
infallibly that business to Increasing.
Railroads and other corporations are
paying dividends without a question as
to earning capacity. Our foreign com
merce has risen to an Importance and
a volume unprecedented In the history
of the country, and In the face of all
these gigantic trade movements the
failures have grown to the smallest
number In 18 years.
Does the Intelligent voter wish to
change this condition of affairs? Does
he desire to create a condition where
business may fall off, failures increase
and debts be paid in a depreciated cur
rency? If he does, let him vote for

CANNOT VOTE FOR BRYAN.
A Ufeleaar Demeerat Tells Why He
Meat Sanpert McKlalejr.
William T. Baker, ex-presldent of the
Chicago board of trade and of the
World's fair and one of the leading
Democrats of Chicago, has made an
open statement of his purpose to vote
for McKlnley this falL In a letter
made public the other day he makes a
powerful attack against Bryan, who,
be says, personifies 10 to 1 and lawless
ness and Is the greatest 'imperialist"
since Napoleon Bonaparte.
Mr. Baker has been well known In
the past for his convictions In favor of
free trade and for his aggressive Inter
est in the work of the National Tariff
Reform league. Mr. Baker says, how
ever, that even the Democratic doc
trine of free trade has been abandoned
for principles that mean restriction of
trade and through the Popullstic atti
tude on trusts a "limitation of all suc
cessful enterprise within state lines."
Mr. Baker says In part:
"Since Napoleon Bonaparte there has
been no greater Imperialist than Bryan
himself. His will is the law of the
party that supports him, and If elected
he would endeavor to rule the entire
nation with the same Iron hand. Na
poleon deluged Europe In blood to
reach a throne, and Bryan would not
hesitate to wreck every Industry in the
land to attain the presidency.
"This talk of Imperialism la like the
rattle of the snake that hurts nobody.
It Is the head of the reptile that Is dan
gerous, and there yon will Ind the free
all ver bite.
"The paramount Issue la exactly the
same now that it was In 1896. Itlaltf
to 1 and lawlessness as personified by
Bryan versus the gold standard and
the security It brings. I shall vote for
McKlnley aa representing the latter."

According to the census returns, the
population "of Lincoln, Neb., has -declined
from 55,154 in 1800 to 40,160 In

Its leading citizen.

The most remarkable signifies nee la
Mr. Bryan's letter of acceptance to the
Democrats is his silence upon every
thing and every subject In which Amer
ican worklngmen aa a class have an in
teratt. .......
MJkl I
The first of the two days of the Banna
speaking "in Nebraska culminated in
Lincoln where, owing to the immense
crowds, Mr. Hanna spoke at three differ
ent places. In answer to the statement
made by Mr. Bryan that the republican
campaign managers had entered upon
extensive bribery in order to secure the
election of the republican ticket, Sena
Hanna said "I want to hurl it back in
his teeth and tell him it s aa false as
h L When it cornea down to personal
ities I am willing to stand before the
American people on my record as a
business man and let him stand on his.
I "have been in business for-years, em
ploy 6,000 men, pay the highest wages,
treat them like men and they all respect
me and when Mr. Bryan or any other
man charges upon me, and I am willing
to appropriate it all , as I am chairman
of that board of managers of this repub
lican campaign, with any such measures
aa those I propose to burl it back and
denounce him as a demagogue in his
own town."
BRYAN AN UNWORTUV SLANDERER.
Mr. Hanna referred to Mr. Bryan's
reference to him as a "labor crusher,''
made first during his senatorial cam
paign in 1897, and said: "I want to
remind every man that a man who in a
contest 'will drag an honorable name
into the mire for the sake of votes is not
worthy to be considered for the high
office of president of the United States.
And I believe there are thousands of
men in Nebraska who resent it as an in
sult to their intelligence and ideas. of
fair play and justice, because when a
roan has the opportunity through news
papers or publio rostrum to make
charges too trilling to be denied and
those charges do go undenied and enter
into the minds of the people, I say any
man who will use such tactics to fur
ther his own selfish ambition is not fit
to be constable."
At Nebraska City, the starch works
whistles blew a noisy welcome to Sena
tor Hanna, and J. Sterling Morton
escorted Mr. Hanna to his carriage. He
discussed the subject of trusts saying
that he knew something about trusts
having baen in business for forty years,
and has now in his employ C.000 men.
Mr. Hanna then entered into a discus
sion of the trust issue and reminded his
hearers that every law against trusts on
the statute books of the northern states
had been passed by republican legisla
tures. He referred to the resolution in
troduced in congress last winter to
amend the constitution so as to make it
possible for the federal government to
control trusts which were pernicious in
their effect on trade, and stated that it
was defeated by democratic votes. Con
tinuing, Mr. Hanna said:
"Why, my friends, according to Mr.
Bryan's ideas, there is not a single man
ufacturing concern, thousands of which
are growing up all over this land, bring
ing prosperity with them, enlarging and
developing our resources, furnishing
labor to thousands, but that is a trust,
and should be wiped from the face of
the earth. You have had an object les
son in your own town here, when he
attempted to destroy that great indus
try of yours, the National starch factory.
The policy which he advises, if followed,
would paralyze all the industries of this
country, because capital, always timid,
would shrink from any investments
which could be reached through the
legislation of demagogues.
The following paragraph in the regu
lar order of daily news appeared under
date of October 8 from Waxahachie,
Texas, so that it seems there is no
scarcity of work even in Texas: "Today
was the first day of jury civil week in
county court here and but halt the jur
ors summoned responded to their names,
offering excuses at the same time why
they should not be compelled to serve.
All asked to be excused on account of
the enormous crop and shortage of hands
to gather it After consulting with the
attorneys Judge Lancaster excused the
jnrors and continued the entire jury
docket over to the January term."
Senator Hanna, after his trip through
South Dakota and Nebraska, says: "I
have taken South Dakota out of the
doubtful column. There is no doubt in
my mind that its electoral vote will be
cast for MoKinley. Of course, surface
indications are all one can go by on a
trip of that kind, but the immense
crowds I talked to, and the warm greet
ings I received, leave no other opinion
possible. Personally, I thoroughly be

S. D. Avery died at his home in
Oakland precinct last Sunday morning.
He has had trouble with his kidneys for
quite a while, which is probably the
cause of his demise. Mr. Avery was one
of the first settlers of this county. He
came here on the 13th of April, 1871, in
company with W. H. Stout, A. Dresser,
Tom Smith and a few others. The next
day after their arrival Ed. Dwyer walked
in. Of these men all are now dead ex
cept Mr. Stout, who is still a resident of
Albion. Mr. Avery built the first house
in Albion which is still standing on the
corner of Second and Church streets.
For several years he was active in assist
ing homesteaders to settle here. He
owned the site of Mansfield's addition,
which he sold to Mr. Mansfield. After
this he homesteaded in Oakland pre
cinct where he lived till death claimed
him. He was married to Miss Counsel!,
who shared with him in the privations
of pioneer life and who, with several
children, survive him. Funeral was
conducted Tuesday by Rev. J. B. Lee

In the eddying fight, amid din and
roar of the fallen guns of Imperialism
and militarism, there la danger the peo
ple of this country may lose sight of
the fact that the election of Mr. Bryan
weans the overthrow of the protective
tariff system and the Introduction of a
free trade programme into the policy
of the government. Our people have
abort memories, and they sometimes
forget and need to be reminded.
Mr. Bryan waa a member of the Fifty-second
and Fifty-third congresses
and took n very active part at once up
on taking has seat. In the Fifty-third
congress, of which I was a member,
the Wilson bill waa under considera
tion. It waa the passage of that bill
which plunged this country Into ruin.
It does not aaake any difference what
people say about the origin, of hard
ttnees, the intelligent laboring man of
this country knows very well that he
ceased to earn a living for himself and
family because of the demoralization
of buslaeas caused by the repeal of the
McKlnley law and the passage of the
WOaonact. It was that which precipi
tated wages to the lowest ebb that
they have been for many a year. It
was that which sent marching columns
f hungry men over the country de
maudlng food. It waa the passage of
that km that nude It Impossible for any
Intelligent man to listen for a moment
to the speeches of such men aa Bryan
hi 1898.
Ob the boot of the house in the de
bates am the Wilson bill Bryan took
the extreme free trade ground. His
speeches are on record, and the labor
ing men of the country can find them
and read them. He especially an
nounced himself as In favor of absolute
free trade upon nanny of the leading
products of the farm, notably wool.
which he insisted should be put upon
the free Bt of the Wilson bill. When
that hm waa passed by the concurrence
of the house. In the 600 amendments of
the senate It was-Bryan and Hon. Jo
seph Bailey, n representative from the
state ef Texaa, who hi their ecstasy
taehamnion who was the puta- J
tlve father of the law, the Hon. W. L.
Wilson of West Virginia, and carried
him on their shoolders In a triumphal
procession through the house of repre
sentatives Into the cloakroom, and a
aaturnalia of Joy resounded from those
premises. It was Bryan who favored
the Introduction of foreign material
Into this country free of charge. It
was Bryan who demanded that all raw
material such a& wool, coat Iron and
everything which entered Into the man
ufacture of goods should be Imported
free, and It waa his Influence more
than" any other man's that brought
about the terrible' result with which
we arc so familiar.
It was Bryan's earnest demand that
put wool on the free list, and hi that
debate he declared that he did not care
whether it benefited or hurt the wool
grower. It was Bryan who drove the
tariff on coal down to such an extent
as to flood the eastern markets with
coal and stimulate the growth of the
development of coal in the British pos
sessions In the northeast and practi
cally drove us out of the seaboard mar
kets with the soft coal of central
states. It was Bryan who advocated
the low tariff on agricultural products
and utterly refused to discriminate or
allow discrimination In favor of the
products of the west and middle west.
The laboring men of the country and
the farmers of the country before they
plunge themselves Into the vortex that
Is being held out should get Bryan's
record and read It It Is a very Inter
esting chapter In the personal politics
of that gentleman. The platform made
at Kansas City Is very adroit hi laying
the foundation for an enactment lu
congress should Bryan be elected sat
isfactory to his history aud record.
Not daring to assail protection directly,
he came at It in the platform which he
personally conducted as follows:
"Tariff laws should be amended by
putting the products of trusts upon the
free list We condemn the
Dlngley tariff law as a trust breeding
measure, skillfully devised," etc.
That is the platform of the party de
nominated the Democratic party and
whose nomination Mr. Bryan accepted.
The original Populist party, whose
candidate Mr. Bryan now is I refer to
the Sioux Falls nomination also places
Itself on record in a similar attitude.
So Mr. Bryan, without any apology for
the past, stands upon a series of plat
forms all squinting In the direction of
free trade, and In the event of his elec
tion, with a congress subservient to his
dictation, as was the convention at
Kansas City, we may look for just
such legislation as precipitated this
country Into the condition with which
we are all familiar. It Is therefore
very unwise for the people of the coun
try to be led away from the two great
propositions of Mr. Bryan's life, the
two propositions which make up Bry
anlsm to wit, free and unlimited coin
age of sliver and free trade and fol
low off after the illusion and delusion
of imperialism.

Deeaat Appeal to latelllseaee.
Voting for Bryan on the theory that
a Republican senate will prevent him
putting his heresies Into practice Is not
a practice that will appeal strongly to
the Intelligence of the country-
