SYRAC't'SE, Ne. Y., Oct. 25. Tho closing
speeches of fall arduous day In tho Roose
velt campaign were mado at Auburn anil
Syracuse, after Jumps through widely di
vergent cotmtlc.t. Altogether It was n
favorablo day, for although In Auburn and
tiyraciiHu there wcro several Interruptions,
the questions and answers were rather In
a good natured form and there was no
friction which Indicated a desire on the
part of either questioner or answerer to
enter Into a peisonnl controversy.
At Hyrarusc thousandR of people thronged
the streets. The Auditorium, where tho
speech maklrlK was held, and the square
where the outside meeting took pluco were
both much too small to accommodate
those who desired to hear (iovcrnor ltoose
vclt. In Auburn three meeting had to bo
held to accommodate the people. At this
piano It whB that tho first serious In
terruptions of the day occurred. The gov-
rnor hnd started at the first meeting on
an exposition of tho trust question. Dur
ing his remarks n man In the upper gal
lery said: "Hurrah for Ilrynn!"
"Why?" retorted tho governor, squaring
hltnHelf toward tho place from whence the
cry came and palming for a reply, which
was not made. "Ho does not know." said
tho governor, smiling. "It means Just
about that grade of Intelligence."
'I'lildi'H Turned on llr) nit.
The governor said, referring to the ques
tion of expansion: "in this city Mr. llryan
actually dared to appeal to the memory of
Bnwaril. I wonder, well, 1 don't wonder at
Mr. llryan, but under any other conditions
1 would wonder at any other man making
that appeal and forgetting one of tho
greatest services Mr. Seward rendered this
country when under his guidance this
country took Alaska and expanded without
tho consent of tho governed there" "How
about Motealf?" caino an Interruption.
"Metcalf." said tho governor in a pu.
2ed tone, and then remembering that Mr.
Motealf .wan president of tho I). M. Osborne
machine shops and had threatened to shut
down If llryan wiib elected, ho said: "Met
calf Is all right. If Mr. llryan wan half
as right he would be fortunate."
"How about tho canalB?" came from the
gallery before tho governor could proceed.
"I will nnswer you onco for all," said the
governor; "do you mean In this state?"
"Yes;" eamo the reply back.
"I answer," said tho governor, "that they
are administered with absoluto honesty
nnd eitlclency, as you know If you know
anything about them."
PrnUe neinocriil nt Syrnene.
At Syracuse tho governor was first
driven to a stand erected on the square
In front of (ho Wlotlng house, In which ho
was to speak later. Tho crowd was so
dense that It was only with the utmost
difficulty tho pollro could open a way suf
ficiently wide for his carriage to pass
through. When tho governor got to the
sUnd tho crcwd surged up against It with
irreslstable force and It was not until tho
governor himself Induced those "in tho rear
to crowd tho other way that the crush
was somewhat abated,
"I do not earn who you are going to voto
for for president," ;a!d tho governor, "but
do not hurt tho witmcn and children. You
know hero In America we are especially
proud of tho way a crowd behaves itself
and I wnnt you to show a good example
here.
"I want, In tho first place," continued
Mr. Hooscvelt, "to express my thanks to
tho members of tho Syraeuso police de
partment for tho courtesy and cfllelcncy
they have shown. I want to thnnk them,
mil thercforo tho democratic municipal au
thorities, for tho care they have taken to
see that thcro should bo no disorder, no
Improper conduct. Now, I have to go In
and speak In the hall and I only want tn
ay that I nm immensely Impressed by
this wonderful outpouring."
Tho governor's party and the police then
formed themselves Into what a foot ball
player would call a flying wedge and suc
ceeded In reaching tho hall.
.More CrneUn fur lee Trnst.
Tho governor talked for an hour, touch
ing moat' of the Issues involved, but dwell
ing particularly on trusts and military
matters. Ho addressed his audience
mostly on the saino lines as ho has spoken
beforo on theso Ishucb. In speaking of
the truBt question ho said tn part:
Now, them is a trust hcr In New York
tho ire trust. I havo no question but that
tho great bulk of the peoplo who havo gono
Into tho Ico trust went In ns investors, Just
us thoy would In any other corporation
whoso shares wero floated on tho market.
AVhut I want to cull attention to and to
emphnslzo Is tho uttter Insincerity, the baso
hypocrisy of men Ilko Mr, Oroker, who de-
riounco trusts In general In far morn sweep,
ng terms than I because I Intend to make
my words good by deeds when tho time
comes who denounce trusts as nn unmltl
entcd evil and then become tho most prom
incut stockholders In a trust that has
'caused more Indignation than any other In
this stale.
1 cannot toll you nobody can tell you
Whether the courts will decldo that that
trust Is an illegal monopoly and can ho dis
solved tinder the statutes. I cannot say
anything about that any mnro than, sitting
ns I do In my Judicial capacity, I could futy
without any evidence beforo mo wbothor
any nttlclal was guilty or Innocent becauso
of his cnntiectiun with that trust. In each
case Hid decision will bo on the merits
tinder tho law. It will bo so by tho courts;
It will bo so In my ensoj nnd whether a man
is a democrat or u republican will not
weigh that (snapping ms lingers) witn mo.

stress on the fact that Agulnaldo began the

serted that It wag done at a time when It
looked as though the treaty would not bo

UT1CA, N. Y 0ctT"23. The Roosevelt
special train pulled out of hero at 8:20 o'clock
this morning. Tho Itinerary of the day is a
curious one, tho Jumps being long, taking
the party from Utlca away over to Water
town, thonco back through Weedsport to
Auburn and then down to Syracuse. The
time devoted to speechmaklng will bo an
hour each at Watertown, Oswego and
Auburn.
(lovcruor Roosevelt was feeling well and
cheerful today nnd his volco was In good
condition. Ho laughed over the egg-flrtng
episode of last night and said: "I was hot
on tho balcony nt tho time, hut as only one
egg was fired, I am Inclined to bollevo It
was tho work of some mischievous boy. I
am sure It was not Intended for me, for at
the time It was light enough for anybody to
know that t was not on tho balcony."
WATKIITOWN, N. Y., Oct. 25. Governor
Roosevelt's first stop today was at Cam
den, Oncldn county, tho homo of Attorney
Oeneral Davlcs. Tho day began with n
heavy fog over tho country and Mr. Hooso
velt mado his first speech very brief, fear
ing to Injure his voice.
At Watertown the governor took up tho
questions of militarism, alluding to the fact
that Sackett's Harbor, a few miles distant,
was a great army post and saying that, if
acting under Mr. Bryan's theory, it wns
abolished It would naturally provo a loss
to this locality.
Ho said that ho understood that at tho
suggestion of people in Watertown nnd tho
congressman from this district the post hnd
lately been enlarged and, to his mind, that
was sufllclent evidence; thnt Instead of bo
Ing scared at Mr. Ilryan's bugaboo of a
menacing standing army, the peoplo wero
glad to see the posts Increased.
Ilt-fends the Army,
He also called attention to the fact that
Colonel Llsctim,' who was killed In China,
and his gallant regiment of men, tho Ninth,
wero from this vicinity and asserted that
certainly no man who had any respect for
tho flag or any love for Its valorous defend
ers would agree with statements attributed
by the speaker to Mr. Ilrynn, to the effect
that the officers nnd men of tho army were
looters, ravlshern and murderers. Tho
governor took up the question of the pros
perity of tho farmers and said In part:
1 fun assured that the farmers of this lo.
callty havo been Increasing In prosperity
for the Inst four years nnd that this year
Just ubout closing has been the most pro-i-perous
of all. air. llryan Is responsible
for the statement that the farming element
of tho country bus felt the prosperity les
man any otner ciass auu uy .Mr. uryan s
own statement I am going to put him to
confusion. Careful statistics gathered by
tho commissioner of agriculture show thut
the farmers have Increased 85 per cent In
prosperity in the last three or four yenrs.
Now If Mr. Uryan Is right and the farming
element has boon the least prosperous of
any class, then tho prosperity of the other
classes of wage-earners and profit-seekers
must have been greater than 35 per cent
nnd therefore a great refutation of Mr
Uryan s theory that prosperity has not
touched this country.
Tho governc - read some statistics show
ing tho Improvement of the farming classes
as prepared from the reports of tho com
missioner of agriculture nnd during the
rending was frequently Interrupted with
applause.
OSWEOO, N. Y.. Oct. 23. Governor Roose
velt's train arrived here a llttlo behind
time, but there was an Immense crowd to
welcome hint. Tho governor mado a hit
with his audience by alluding to Judge
Charles N, Uulger of this place and his de
nunciation of tho Saratoga speech of Mr.
Croker, Senator Murphy ami Tammany.
"If you want n recommendation for Mr.
Crokor," said tho governor, "ask Mr. Bulger
for It."
Tho governor asked: "Are wo to glvo up
tho republlcin administration of this state
for Mr. Crokcr's administration 7" To which
reply caruo In a volley of cries of "No, no,
never."
"Not much, wo won't," smilingly said the
governor. Alluding to what he alleged
wero tho false prophesies of Mr. Uryan, the
governor said: "Now, I know you all read
tho good book and you recollect what hap
pened to faUe prophets in the days of the
old Hebrews, They had a very bad time
of It. We havo advanced somewhat since
those days tn our method of treating them.
Wo run them on the democratic ticket now
for the presidency."
Hoiiu'k I, Mine Pretense,
Yesterday air. llryan nt last wns goaded
Into making a pretense of unswcrlng a
question as to whether, if elected, ho
would pay pensioners and other national
creditors In gold or In stiver. I use tho
word pretense advisedly, for the answor H
an evasion pure and simple, an evasion,
moreover, so palpable una so weak that
It Is nstoundlng that any candidate for the
highest otllco In the gift of tho nation
should huve been willing to resort to It.
llo said: "I want tho republicans who
want that question answered to first find
what the law requires and then I will have
them to know that If elected president I
will enforce that law Just tho same as I
will enforce the law ngalnst trusts and
put striped clothes on big thieves' ns well
as on little thieves. Hut If you ask me to
conatruo a republican law I will reply that
I shall not cuustruo a law until it be
comes my duty to enforce it,"
This, of course, amounts merely to sny
Inif thut air. rtryan will not state what he
will do until after election, lest that state
ment should Impair his chance of election.
Tho whole point nt Issue Is how the law
shall be construed. We contend that It Is
to bo construed thnt the nation shall pay
Its obligations In gold, In other words, wo
are for tbu gold stnndard. and exactly as
I champion It In New "ork state so I
championed It In Colorado, air. Bryan's
freo silver friends Insist that the law per
mits him to pay tho debt of tho nation
In silver. Four years ago air Bryan's
position wns tho same as theirs ami this
position had at least tho merit of being
entitled to the respect that can ho wrong
minded sincerity. I'nless air. Bryan has
convictions on so important n subject he
is tint tit to bu president nnd If lie has
convictions, by every law of honor and
self-respect ho should make those con
victions public when ho is appealing for
tho suffrages of the people. In the same
breath that he thus avows that he flinches
from declaring his position on una of tho
most vital points at Issue ho boasts that
lie will enforce tho law against trusts and
put striped clothes on big thieves ns well
as little thloves, Surely if air. Bryan hud
possessed a sense of humor ho would have
refrained from uttering such a boast, at
onco both cheap and Idle, and nt tho very
moment when, by his evasion, he was
showing a trait of chnracter which, If It
marked his administration, If elected would
Insure absoluto Immunity both tn big
thieves nnd to little. Of course Mr. Bryan
knows perfectly well that he could not do
one thing against any stockholder or mali
nger of a trust, save what had been done
under the present administration, The only
way uf getting hold of n trust on the part
of the federal government is under nn
amendment to tho federal constitution In
troduced last session of congress by the
republicans and defeated by tho Brynnltes,

COLUMBUS, Oct. 25. All action in tho

for today ns a.trlbuto of respect to the
memory of Hon. John Shorman, whoso
funeral occurs at Mansfield this afternoon.
The order by Secretary Hick of the re
publican state executive committee Is re
garded as unique tn tho political annals of
Ohio. All meetings have been either de
clared off or postponed for the day.
Tho atate officials left hero at S:30 a. m.

CAMDEN, N. J., Oct. 23. Mr. Bryan
crossed tho Delawaro and touched New Jer
sey soil at 12:10 today. Hu remained In
his carriage, but the peoplo surged about
him In vast numbers. Ho shook hands
with everyone who could get to him. When
tho boat touched tho wharf and from thoro
to the speaker's stand the ovation was pro
nounced, Mr, Uryun apoke In Washington
park. He said In parti "I am confident
that wo arc right and It Is my faith In the
ultimate triumph of thut which Is right,
as well ns my observation, that mako me
bcllevo that wo arc bound to win this fight.
I cannot bellcvo that tho American people,
Intelligent and patriotic, can glvo their sup
port to tho policies for which tho repub
lican party now stands. If any republican
asks you why wo spend our time discussing
tho now questions, you reply that our po
sition on tho old questions Is known and
our reasons are known."
Mr. Bryan then dovotcd himself to an
elaboration of tho charges of Inconsistency
on tho part of tho republican party. Re
ferring to his remedy, requiring a state
license for trusts, air, Bryan said ho would
"shut up a corporation In the state of Its
origin until It can show that It Is going
Into other mates on a peaceful mission
u'ud not as a highwayman."
Taking up tho quostlon of tho lncreaso of
tho standing army, Mr. Bryan said: "It
tho president know when ho entered upon
his policy It meant a largo army aud war
and bloodshed, then ho acted deliberately
and tho case Is worso than supposed. What
nro wo going to do with tho army hero,
kuap them Idlo or keep them busy? I sug
gested tho other day that tho only domestlo
roason for n large army Is to fill a fort
near each large city and uso the army to
suppress by force the discontent among the
laboring men, which ought to bo cured by
legislation, restoring Justice between man
nnd man."
In reply to a question from a man tn
tho audience, Mr. Bryan again outlined his
position on the raco question. He again
called attention to tho I'orto Rlcan legisla
tion and said It would bo more consistent
for tho republicans to crltlclso their own
president for his position on the Porto
Hlcan legislation than to criticise him for
the action of somo one stato.
Shli-H nt SI It lit 'f MHvrr.
Just as Mr. Bryan was closing his speech
at Washington park someone Ip tho dis
tance held up a silver dollar. Mr. Bryan
saw It ami said:
"I notice a gentleman over there held
up a sliver dollar nnd ho evidently wants
to know something about sliver, nnd I will
remind him that his deslro to hear some
thing about money and nothing nbout
human rights Illustrates tho sordid level on
which the republican party Is fighting this
campaign. Nobody who reads our platform
needs to ask about tho silver question, but
I want you to know that the republicans
who used to worry about a 60-cent dollar
aro not worrying today about the S5 per
cent citizens they have given us In I'orto
Itlco. The republicans who thought wo could
not havo a double standard of money now
think we can have a double standard of
government, n republic here and a des
potism In the Philippines,
TRENTON. N. J.. Oct. 23. At Burlington
air. Bryan was taken to a balcony a short 1
dlstanco from the station. In his speech i
he said: "It is to tho interest of all people j
to destroy private monopoly and If any i
one tells you that his business Is going to :
be closed up If I am elected tell them
they tried before."
A voice: "What will you do for the old
soldiers?"
Mr. Bryan: "The first thing I will do
after 1 am elected for the soldier will bo
to appoint a commissioner of ponslons more
satisfactory to the soldiers than the pres
ent ouo."
air. Bryan made two speeches In Tren
ton, tlio first In Taylor opera house and
the second at an open-air meeting. Ho
was (ipleiidldly received at both places.
Two Speeches In Trenton,
Responding to the opera houso meeting,
whero tho democratic clubs of the state
woro holding their annual convention, Mr.
Bryan said:
The republican party says everything is
right, that the farmer Is nappy, thut tho
laborer has a full dinner poll and that no
body ought to complain of political condi
tions. Our reply Is, ull right. Lot every
man who Is satisfied with his condition,
who believes he Is enjoying his fair share
of tho earth's blessings and tho govern
ment's protection, who thinks that things
aro all right voto tho republican ticket. I
am perfectly content to draw the line and
let thoflo who think that there Is no neces
sity for better things voto tho republican
ticket if I cun have tho votes of thoso who
behove things cun bo mado better by better
1(1 WH.
Speaking of republican appeals to tho
laboring classes air. Bryan said It was an
Insult to the laboring man to assumo that
he needed nothing more than a full din
tier pall and Mr. Bryan said ho believed
tho laboring man fully understood this
situation. Ills position was that the la
boring man could not be considered well
to do as long ns ho was unabla to send
his children to school nnd had to keep
them In tho factories to help to make a
living. "Under tho presont conditions,"
he said, "the laborer is receiving and re
taining every year less and lesB of tho
wealth ho creates, but tho men who spec
ulate In that wealth are accumulating for
tunes that nro a menace to the Inde
pendence of the citizen."
Referring to his remedies for the trusts
Mr. Bryan Bald:
I am almost nfrald to suggest the remedy
down hero, for If wo succeed in squeezing
tho water out of tho New Jersey corpora
tions you will have a tidal wave greater
than that nt Galveston. You will have a
flood for u while, but you will havo honest
corporutlonB afterward.
Why should corporations organized In
New Jersey bo permitted to prey on tho
whole country-7 Why should a corporation
organized In this state bo permitted to enter
Into Interstate commerce until It first shows
that it is going out to do a legitimate busi
ness and not going out as a lilghwuymaii?
I bcllevo if you will provide, first, that a
corporation bIiuII have the water squeezed
out und, Kecond, that it shall show that It Is
not trying to monopolize any branch of
business and then provide for a revocation
of tho llcenso if the conditions nro violated,
I believe you could destroy every private
monopoly engaged In Interstate commerce
and prevent the creation of now ones,
lloiiml lo IncrciiMc the Army,
.Mr. Bryan again stated his position on
tho question of tho standing army, saying
we do not want a big army, but citizens who
are willing to fight when wo need fighters
and who are then willing to go back to
their avocations In private Ufo when tho
war U over."
No king had ever undertaken to crcato
a big army at any ono time nnd .Mr. Bryan
predicted the gradual Increase of our own
army. Ho did not, he said, want the drum
beat to bo heard around the world, but ho
would havo the light of liberty shine so
strong that it could be seen around tho
world.
Referring to tho Philippines, he said:
"I would rather tho Filipinos would live
and love us than wo sell coffins to them
when they die. They say that we will treat
our colonies as England treats hers, God
forbid." He then spoke of England's ad
ministration In India, whero ha said mil
lions wero starving because ot Englnnd'f
oppressive system ot taxation.
Closing bis speech, Mr. Brynn made an
earnest appeal for campaign work until the
close of tho campaign and asked his sup
porters not to bet on results, saying: "If
you havo any money to spare, put It In thr
campaign fund Instead ot betting with It.
Do not try to beat tho republicans at their
game. When you bet you bet your money:
when a trust magnato bets he bets other
people's moucy."
I'll I Us of Intimidation,
Mr. Bryan's outdoor meeting In Trenton
was a tremendous success, both In point
of attendanco and enthusiasm on the part
of tho crowd. In this Instance he spoke
Btaudlng In his carrlago and said:
I am willing to risk the IsslieH of Uils
campaign In the hands of tho people. If
tomorrow morning the voters were per
mitted to go to the polls and wrlto on their
ballots their opinions on the questions be
foro the country with no ono to Intimidate
I havo no doubt that wo would carry this
country by a popular mnloiity such ns t;o
ticket hns over received In the I'nlted
States. Tho only question to my mind is
what effect will ho produced by the coer
cion now being attempted by those who
now stand nt tho head of grent corpora
tions. I went to Auburn, N. Y., the other
day nnd learned that tho head of a large
manufacturing establishment has threat
ened to closo his works In caso 1 nm
elected. 1 do not know how many threats
Ilko that will lio made. I do not know what
effect such threats will have, but 1 am
going to give to you laboring men nn an
swer to suuli u threat. Whenever your
employer tells you you will losn your Job
If you voto for me, you tell him If tho coun
try Is half at prosperous as ho says It Is
you ought to be able to find another Job
soon, but If thoro Is no place for a man to
work If he loses the Job ho hns there Is no
prosperity In this country to bonst about. I
nek you when will you bo stronger to light
this bnttlo than now. After this period of
boasted prosperity you have not laid by
enough to stand idleness ot a week. Don't
you think you hnd better vote for some
Tarty that will give you a better chance
than that to lay up something for a rainy
day?

When he arrived at the Broad street station

the only reason our principles aro not ns
strong in the east as In thu west Is be
cause the east has not the same opportuni
ties as the west. Our party Is not the
party of the few, but the party of the
masses The democratic party Is making
a canvass on a platform that states Its nosl
tion on every question, but tho republican
party Is conducting a campaign that con
ceals every Issue. It does, not reveal Its
position, because It k)io?v. that if It made
Its principles plain tho people would re
pudiate them. Just remember, when thut
party met here in tho early days of our
forefathers the Declaration of Independ
enco wns Its platform. But when It met
here this year the Declaration of Inde
pendence wub Ignored altogether. The re
publican party standB for despotism In the
Philippines. Tho lepubllcan party has no
remedy for any evil that confronts the
farmer. Instead It congratulates the
farmer on good rains, tho laboring man on

workmen gathered around his carriage and
showed much enthusiasm. Ho received an

NEW YORK, Oct. 25. The Academy of
Music In Brooklyn waB crowded to the
doors tonight by people who came to hear
Secretary Lyman J. Oago on tho campaign
Issues. The meeting was- hold under tho
auspices of tho Brooklyn Young Men's Re
publican club and was presided over by
Frank Harvey Field, president ot the club.
The speakers besides Secretary Gage were:
Seth Low, president of Columbia college,
and Rev. Dr. M. Wolsey Strjker of Hamil
ton college.
Secretary Gago's reception wns most
hearty. Ho said In part:
Iteul Intercut of AVnice lUrner.
How would tho Interests of wugo-earners
nnd salary paid peoplo bo affected If the
Brynn freo silver proposition should be
reullzed? In tho year 1M I had a conver
sation with one of the brightest und most
capable business men of the west. Ho was
engaged In largo affairs an employer of
labor, a bank president und a man of ro
putod wealth. Ho said to me: "I urn per
suaded thut It Is for tho Interest of the
pooplo of tho United States to open the
mints for tho freo coinage of silver at the
ratio of 1G to 1, nnd to get on to the silver
standard ns soon ns possible." I Bald to
him: "It It surprising to hear such n state
ment from you. You must have thought It
well over; you can, 1 know, mnko your
thought and reasoning perfectly clear. Ex
plain to me how It will be for tho Interest
of our people to go Into this thing, nnd If
I can see it ns you do I will drop ull ob-
once,
This wns his explanation: "Wo have c
come
tn n Minn." lie khM. "when o. nrotectlve
tariff no longer protects, t'ndcr the Wilson
bill, which, though a democratic measure,
la still protective, our fuctorles uro Idle,
labor Is out of employment and general
business languishes, Tho truth Is, wo can
not compete In manufacturing with the
older countries, whero labor Is cheap.
Wnges nnd sulRrles are too high here. The
labor cost of what wo mnuufneturo Is too
great. Wo must reduce the labor cost. To
undertnko to reduco wages directly would
simply breed strikes, lockouts, disorder nnd
riots; but cannot you see," ho continued,
"that If we adopt llvor as standard money
for our domestic use we will, while nomi
nally paying tho Hiimo wages, pay them In
n kind of money which will be obtained at u
cost, measured In finished products, of not
more thnn one-half tho present cost In
gold?" "Yes," 1 replied, "I see this clearly.
It Is strictly true, but you suld It wub for
the Interests of the people. Don't you rec
ognize the wageworker nnd the salaried
mnn ub the people? Your proposition Is n
proposition to blindfold their eyes while
you pick their pockots. ! cannot ngreo to
your plait. Better strikes, lockouts and riots
thun this kind of Juggling nnd cheating
through tho medium of payment. If pro
tection will not protect (which time will
show), if our labor cost be too high, If
wages must, ns you claim, bo finally re
duced, the grind ot competition will deter
mine when ami how 'much. Against such a
result, reasonable and Just reslttanco should
be offered, while you would surrender the
whole question ut onco without a. struggle."
Wnurn Ileilnoeil Our Hulf.
Was tho gentleman right? Would the free
coinage of sliver and tho consequent ndop
tlr.n of thu silver Htundnrd III our domestic
uffnlrs have the effect he predicted? Would
It deprive tho wiigo-enrner of onc-hulf his
present reward? 1 have no moro doubt of
tho truth of It than 1 havo doubt that
grapes grow grapes or thut thistles grow
thistles.
You can seo It for yourself If vou will
really try. Give attention now. It Is not
difficult. It Is simple. You work for puy.
In whut aro you paid? You will say, "In
money." That is true, but tho money Is
only an Intermediary to that In which you
nro really paid, viz., IhlngH that you use
and consume. The value of your work la
measured finally by what your work will
procure. You 'are paid 12 per day. In gold
or Its equivalent. Two dollars will buy a
sack of flour, a pair of sIioch or 1.UU0 pounds
of coal und so on. Tho value of your labor
Is, therefore, equal to tho value of a sack
of flour, a pair ut shoes, 1,IX pounds of
coal or what not.
Now, among other things your labor pay
will buy 1b Hllver. With J2 of the money in
which you nre now puld you can buy i.ftM
grains of silver bullion. That quantity of
silver bullion bus its exchangeable value ull
over tho world. In our market l.COO grains
of silver aro equal in valuo to u sack of
flour, a pair of Hhocs or l.ooo pounds of coal,
In other words, your labor pay und 1,000
grnlnn of sliver are equivalent to each other
in meir power to command those things
that minister to tho oomfort and happiness
of yourselves nnd your families.
Lot us now examine tho free allvor prop
osition. It Is simply this: Open tho mints
io everyoouy. i-ermu mo owners or Silver
to bring in 371U grains of sliver. Htninn it
Jt and give It back to them. Clothe that
dollar with legal tender quality, so that it
may be lawfully used to pay debts. That Is
all. It Ih slmplo enough, isn't It? But wo
know thut SI of our nresent ldm! of tiiniiov
tho money in which you nro paid your
miituiua uuu your wiikcw is worm, not Jil'.i
grains, dui more man w grains, would
you not rather have the equivalent 0f 8
grains for your pay than tho eoulvalent of
3T1U grains?
And yet, If you consent to the free tdlver
progrnm, lr iirvan nnei nis democratlc-pop-
uurHlu-wiivt-Tisuu mqqmricrs como into
power, that program will bo adopted und
vou inevitably get your pay in tho now dol
lars containing 371U grains of tine silver.
Beforo you vote for this sort of business bo
wise enough to get a stlnulntlon from vniir
employers that you shall then be paid, as
you aro now pain, in Bomemiug equivalent
to 800 grains of sliver, if you do not do so
you will get the equivalent of only 371i
grains for every Jl paid you. Can you uf
ford It?

STAND UP FOR M'KINLEY
Member of Preshyterlnn Synod of
Missouri Itefime to Denounce
Army Cnutren SyHtem,
MAHYVILLE, aio., Oct. 23. A resolution
offered before tho Presbyterian synod of
Missouri bitterly condemning President
atcKlnley, his cabinet nnd the administra
tion generally for Its attitude on the liquor
question as expressed In the canteen law
and enjoining the ministers to vote for tho
candidate of tho prohibition party was de
feated by a vote ol 26 to 13, Tho resolution
was Introduced by John Aughley, chairman
of tho committee on temperance, and was
at onco opposed by a number of ministers.
A strong, speech in opposition, both to
condemnation ot the administration and
the endorsement of the prohibition candi
date, was made by riov. W, J. aicKlttrlck,
D. D., of St. Louis. The Presbyterian
synod of Missouri embraces six presby
teries, flvo In Missouri and one In Arkansas,
A MISERABLE MAN.
Two Years nnd Six Months
Without Sloop.
Sleep seems to be In many cases a
matter of habit, just as eating nnd
drinking are habits. The Arab whose
ilescrt life leads to abslemiouiuese, de
clines the ofTer of n draught of water,
saying, "No thnnk you, I drank yester
day." lie drinks only when thirsty,
and like his own camels, he can go long
and fnr without wnter.
It's much the same with sleep. When
Gabct and Hue, the l'rench missiona
ries, were exploring TnrUry they en
gaged in the translation of the Scrip-
' tures, working without intermission day
iiid night. When one felt the need of
deep he lay on a couch, holding in his
laud a ball, beneath which, on the
,loor, was n Imuen bowl. When his
muscles relaxed sufficiently to release
the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the
noise wakcucd the sleeper who resumed
his work.
Hut it is one thing to give up sleep
and another thing altogether to be
unable to sleep. Those who suffer
from asthma, bronchitis and other dis
eases of the organs of respiration are
only too familiar with this enforced
wakefulness. They would give almost
anything for a night's unbroken rest.
THE SKCRKT OF SUtKP
for them lies in the cure of the diseases
which banish slumber. That this cure
is possible is abundantly proven by
those who have used Doctor Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery for the cure
of bronchitis, obstinate and decp-ocnted
coughs, lung "tronble" and other dis
eases of the organs of respiration.
"I can this day sny that Dr. Tierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the best
nnd only remedy I have ever found for
what the doctors call asthma," writes
Mr. F. G. Rodetneyer, of 45 Hoyden
Street, I'ort Wnyne, Iud. "I have" suf
fered from hay -fever (and I get the
asthma with it), every year in August
and September for the last fifteen years,
and could not sleep one night (luring
that time, until this year, 1 have not
lost one night's sleep, thanks to Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery; and
best of all I did not get the asthma with
the hay-fever, and I only used two bottles
of the 'Golden Medical Discovery.' "
The cures accomplished by the use of
"Golden Medical Discovery" are as
numerous as they ore wonderful. The
great triumphs of this medicine have
been won in the cure of chronic dis
eases of many years standing. When
every other medicine had failed to do
more than give tempory relief, Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
made a perfect and permanent cure.

LOUISVILLE, Ky Oot. 25. Tho first
biialucsa ot the third and last day's session
ot tho Missionary council ot tho Episcopal
cnurch was tho adoption of u resolution
striking out tho word "foreign" from the
tltlo of the ofllclal missionary organization.
A clauso in Dlshop Doano's report wns
adoptod after considerable discussion pro
viding that In each dloceso tho bUhou ap

organizing tho diocese for missionary work.
Ulsuop Partridge of Japan road. a letter
from tho Episcopal bishop of Shanghai In
which tho following occurrod:
"What wo fcol worst about la tho utterly
weak uttltudo of tho United StateB. If we
had only our own country to depnd upon
wo should havo been In h bad way, for I
bollove it would mako peuco ut any price.
And think of accepting LI Hung Chang as
pence negotiator, after ho said to Consul
(loodnow Hint so long as tho ministers
wero sufo tho lives ot tho missionaries
wero of no account..
Tho lottcr continued by charging that
Minister Wu nt Washington had done much
hurm and accusing him ot plausible mis
representations, "and tho Amorlcuns," the
letter added, "scorn to dollgtli to believe
In him."
Tho letter ended by saying that nt the
presont time "they wero all cheering for
Emperor William, who soomed to bo tho
only man who had the courago to take a
firm stand for tho rights ot the Europeans
In China."
A pointed debate was precipitated by
Illshop Urooko of Oklahoma Introducing a
resolution providing that tho board of man
agers for missions return to all mission
ary dioceses the withheld 20 pur cent of
tho allotment, which tho board of man
agers decided Inst May to tako away from
tho missionary dioceses by decreasing It
20 per cent a year for flvo years. In the
discussion ono sldo defended the mauugors
nnd the other the missionary dioceses, but
tho wholo mattor was finally ended by
DlBhnp Doano's Intercession. Illshop
Ilrooko's resolution was, however, voted
down.

WHAT VKVT MKM KNOW,
is that catarrh in iU commonest or
simplest form is n menace not merely
to health but to life. Catarrh of the
lungs is but u step removed from con
sumption. Catarrhal ullcctions shonld
therefore nercr be neglected. They nre
us dangerous they are offensive.
"'For twelve years I was it sufferer
from catarrh nnd wns treated by one of
the best physicians in the Stnte of North
Carolina, who said the trouble hnd
reached my lungs," writes Mr. J. M.
l'attot!, of Clotho, TrnnsyNnnin Co.,
N. C. "I grew worse every day until
1 tried Dr. Pierce's medicines. Will
isay, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-
covery with one bottle of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy cured me, and to-day
I am well and hearty, and I will say
further that my former nhysician, Dr.
W. M. Lydny, recommends Dr. Picrce't
medicine to me nnd to others. I sm
sure your medicines will cure nny case
of catarrh that exists. I recommend
them "to" all."
lly purifying the blood nnd increas
ing the activity of the blood-making
glands "Golden Medical Discovery''
strengthens every organ of the body.
Accepting the fact that the blood is the
life, it follows that the healthfulness ol
the physical life will depend upon the
healthfulness of the blood, and that a
deficient supply of blood must result
in a deficiency of physical strength.
"Golden Medical Discovery" gives
health and strength by increasing the
quantity aud improving the quality of
the blood. The evidence of tins lies in
the marked gain in weight experienced
by those who have become emaciated
by wasting disease, nnd who have been
cured by the use of "Golden Medical
Discovery." It is not a gain of flabby
fat, bnt a gain of sound flesh and firm
muscle, nnd with this gain of flesh and
muscle comes n gain of strength, which
seeks a new outlet for itself in active
exercise. The frequent testimony, "It
has made n new man of me," thoroughly
expresses the real reiuvenntion which
cornea to those curea by the use of
"Golden Medical Discovery."
Accept no substitute for "Golden
Medical Discovery." No so-cnlled "Just
as good" medicine can compare with
the "Discovery " when its record ot
cures is considered.
