Dm anybody ever see nicer weather?
LABOR DAY was duly celebrated all over the country.
WE presume Mr. Cleveland pays for the use of the light house
tenders, doesn't he?
PASSING dividends and defaulting in interest are getting to be
Democratic industries.
Ir will be a different kind of Congress Mr. Cleveland will have
on his hands next time.
THE members of the Fifty-third Congress are now returning
home, and most of them will stay there.
LEVI P. MoRrox will be the next Governor of New York state.
Put that down in your memorandum book.
WoRKiNGMEN. remember that those opposed to the free coin-
age of silver want to make the rich richer and the poor poorer
- WHISKY and sugar" sounds Democratic; that is the principal
right the new tariff law has to be called a Democratic measure.
A MAN died in New Hampshire recently of ossified heart, and
the physicians claim the disease to be a new one. They never
were in Texas.
MINERS, remember that Grover Cleveland wanted free coal to
enrich his close friends, when he knew the result must be the re-
duction of your wages.
CONGRESS has adjourned, the whisky trust has made a lot of
money, sugar has gone up, and Havemeyer is happy. Now let
Uncle Grover go fishing.
PROGRESSIVE men, remember that demonetization of silver
means that it reduces the value of your property—that free coin-
age of silver will enhance the value.
that state. To-day in the Ashland Congressional district all the
political speakers are using foul language and epithets and cast-
ing slurs on one another, and yet not one shooting iron has been
drawn. Yerily, the retrogression of "Old Rain.uck" is phenom-
enal.
DANIEL WEBSTER in 1822 said that the truest American policy
was the one that most usefully employed American capital and
American labor. In 1894 Grover Cleveland favors foreign capi-
tal at the expense of American labor.
LABOR DAY is a national holiday, designed as a day of rest
and recreation for the laborer. Election day is also a national
holiday, and this year will be especially memorable as theWater-
lco of the party that tried to ruin labor.
1 HE appropriations of the Congress recently adjourned exceed
like appropriations by the last Republican Congress by thirty
millions of dollars, after a cut of nearly the same amount in the
pension rolls. Sixty millions increase! This is Jeffersonian econ-
omy.
SOME girls will split a pea with a silver fork and have difficulty
in eating one-Half, and otherwise put on great style, when the
"best feiler" is around; but when he is away they will go in the
kitchen and eat enough corned beef and cabbage to founder an
army mule. (:ircumsfances alter cases.
ONE way to make picnic sandwiches is to put a piece of blue-
berry pie between a prostrate log and a new pair of, lavender col-
ored trousers. These are called Irish sandwiches.
WORKING men and women, what do you think of the Demo-
cratic party and Grover Cleveland, that places a tax on your
sugar to relieve foreign manufacturers from paying a tax on goods
manufactured in Europe, so that our wage earners must accept
lower wages? Answer at the ballot box in November.
I HREE hundred thousand dollars is the bill against the author-
ities allien the Chicago mihtary and sheriff's deputies present
and all this is in addition to Lncie Sam's personal expenses for
regulars and deputy marshals. It comes high, but we must have
it, as the boy said n*hen the teacher banged him over the shoul-
ders with a ruler.
GORMAN (to G. C.): Will you walk into my sugar trust parlor
and sign the sugar trust tariff bill, or will you stay outside and
allow it to become a law without your beautiful signature?
Axv one who can worship Grover Cleveland need not say anv-
thing to the heathen who worship idols of wood and stone. Their
idols, at all events, are harmless, while G. C. is a curse to the
country of his birth.
POOR old Kentucky is on the down grade. There was a time
when it was worth a man's life to make any remark casting reflec-
tion on the character or integrity of any man, woman or child in
I HE menace ot Cleveland and Wilson to the permanence of
the tariff bill, say Messis. \\ atson & Gibson in a recent market
letter, "is not as iresh in the minds of the Street as a few days
ago, as the memory of Wall Street is proverbially short-lived.
The campaign, when it once sets in, will renew this danger and
disturb business, unless the expectation of an overwhelming Re-
publican victory is strong enough to neutralize this fear. Other-
wise, after the most pressing wants of trade are filled, there will
be a halt until the result of the battle of ballots is known."
THERE is no difference of opinion among yachting experts
about the superiority of the Vigilant or the Britannia in a fair
race on open water. While the Prince of Wales' boat has won
the majority of the races sailed, still the Vigilant won a majority
of the open sea races, which are the true tests of merit. Inland
bay races are always objectionable on account of the advantage
the home boat has owing to the intimate knowledge of the cur-
rents and draughts of air on the part of the home crew. An open
sea race is generally won by the best boat and on the merits.
CONGRESS will And that the people of this country want free
silver more than free labor, and mean to have it, too. The Dem-
ocratic party has been tried and found wanting in everv essential
feature; next the Republicans will be tried, and unless they give
the people a silver law, remonetizing the white metal at a ratio of
16 to 1, they, too, will be laid aside by the sovereign peoDle as
unworthy ot confidence. The people will triumph in the end if
they have to wear the livery of Populism in the service of the
true American financial policy (as G. C. would say). Mqnomet-
alism is doomed—monometalists are "doomeder."
