Ask the man who advises you to vote for a Republican if he wasn’t disappointed when he asked the party for some favors. Look out for the man who has been a Democrat all his hfe, but is now going to vote for a change; he never was a Democrat. Democrats, beware of the men who are advising you to vote some other ticket than the Democratic. You may be sure they are the men who have been promised money or a good fat office. The money that has been lost to the county by reason of the greenbacks not being taxed would pay all debts of this county and leave a surplus in the county treasury. But such is the tact with all the laws passed by the Republicans, they rob the farmer and laborer and put the money into the pockets of the rich. The cry of the Republicans that sugar has advanced has tfhe bottom knocked out of it by the fact that ajlarge number of towns around us are selling 2j. pounds’ of the best granulated sugar for one dollar, and twenty-two to twenty-four pounds of Coffee A sugar for one dollar. Surely the Democratic tariff law is hard for them to meet.

FOR DEAR CLOTHING AND FREE SILVER. When McKinley, and the .est of the calamity howlers assert that the country was on tbe highest mountain top of prosperity under the tariff of 1890, and that it has been brought down into the deepest valley of adversity by the mere expectation that a law imposing lower tariff taxes would be enacted, the necessary conclusion is that they would restore the act of 1890 if they could. Do they really mean that? Do they mean that they would go back to dear overcoats, dear woolen goods of all kinds, if they could? Do they mean that they would restore the law which according to one of their own number; General Grosvenor, enabled Carnegie to pose as one of the richest men in the country? Do they mean that they would restore the law which made millionaires out of a few and paupers out of many? Do they mean that they would again tax the American people to pay bounties to cane and beet growers and maple tree tappers — bounties which had already grown in the aggregate to $12,000,000 a year, and hade fair to prow mil hons every year? If they mean this why do they not say so, and not leave it to inference? It is because they dare not. They dare not say in plain English what they really mean, that they intend to abandon the policy of low prices and no bounties to the policy of high prices, shoddy and bounties. They do not openly deciare their intentions, but are constrained to do nothing but howl at a policy under which the country is rapidly recovering from the tre-, mendous shock of the last Republican panic as they themselves are forced to admit. And what does McKinley mean by attacking the Democratic silver policy as he d’d in his speech at Findlay? What does he mean when he complains that the Democratic Congress “has given us no ' silver legislation whatever except to strike down the Sherman law at its special session, called for that purpose and in response to the. urgent recommendation of a Democratic President?” A majority of the Republicans in both Houses voted to “strike down,’ that law. They and nearly all the prominent organs of Republicism throughout the country admitted that the law was a vicious onfe and the immediate cause of a panic. Does McKinley mean to say that his party would re-enact that law if it were restored to power? That is a legitimate inference from his arraingment of the Democratic Congress for “striking down” that law. But perhaps he means worse. He , goes on to say that when the Democrats “struck down” the Sherman i law they promised “to give silver • an honorable place in the coinage of the country ” And he adds: has been heard of this • since. Nothing will be heard of it - in the present Congress. Nothing ' can come of it so long as Mr. Clevei land is President of the United ; States, for it is well understood that I he wi-ll veto any free coinage bill.” > Does this mean that if McKinley is : elected President he will not veto . any free coinage bill? If he does not mean that, what • does he mean when he goes on to i say further “Free and unlimited • coinage of silver is not the crystal--1 ized policy of the Democratic party : and it will not be. The party that , has struck down silver and has ’ given it tbe severest blow it ever ! had cannot be relied upon to give ! that metal honerable treatment.” 1 If that does not plainly imply- that the Republican party with McKjnJ?

— ley at its head can be relied upon to give silver “honorable treatment” it does not mean anything. It will serve as McKinley’s interpretation of his own Ohio Republican platform which declares that silvef should be restored as a money metal, “and its coinage apd use should be steadily maintained and , constantly encouraged.” McKinley ( is the “logical candidate” of the Republicans for President in 1896, and with him at the head of the . party the battle cry will be twofold: “McKinley and dear cloth mg” and “McKinley and free silver ” The Hard Time*. / The Romans had a proverb tuat read something like this: “Keep on telling falsehoods, some of them will be believed.’’ Some of our Republican friends seem to read about this proverb and have adopted it as their own, for some of them are bold enough to repeat these falsehoods, even if they have been proven to be falsehoods for twenty times, they will be sure to repeat it the twenty-first time. One of these false hoods is, that they try to make the wageearner believe, the scarcity of work and hard times were the consequence of the Democratic party coming into power, and if told the hard times began under the Republican administration, they will sav : "It was the fear of the Democratic party coming into power, brought on the hard times.’’ Now what was the hard times? Was it not the scarceity of money? What caused the scarceity of money? Was it not because there was no money in the treasury? Who depleted the treasury? Was it the Democratic party? No, tor they were not in power. And as the Republican party was in power at that time it must have been the mismanagement of that party, which brought about the hard times. This is a logical conclusion, is it not? To prove the above we need only look back one or two years to the so-called billion congress. The have left an inheritance which will take several congresses to get rid of. It is an open secret that Secretary Foster had to squirm and twist to keep the bankruptcy of the treasury a secret before the election. The crisis of 1893 Is due to the mismanagement of public money in the treasury, the same as those of 1873,1884. 1890, This was acknowledged by the Republicans themselves by working for the repeal of the Sherman silver bill. They had set fire to the house and left it when it was in flames. But the flames being extinguished, they return and cry; “Democratic crisis! Democratic deficiency in the treasury." Just how tbe Democrats can be held responsible for the liaro times, it is hard to tell. They found the treasury empty and did not yet have time to fill it,as'had been the case at the close of Cleveland's first term. To fill the treasury Congress would first have to pass laws. The result of the election showed beyond a doubt, what the people of the United States wanted. They ..wanted a reduction ot the tariff, and the g. o. p. says: “The cause of the crisis-was to be found in what was to come to pass in the future.’’-. They are trying to make people believe that the expression of their wants created such fear in their bosom. Do they really believe that such a great nation as ours would fall into fits expressing their wants regarding the question on tariff. Is it not absurd to advance the argument that the Democratic party is to blame for the hard times. Every thing that has been said against the protective theory, has been proven by experience within the last eighteen mouths. The business crisis of 1873, 1884, 1890 and 1893 have plainly shown that as long as the protective system exists, there will be just such hard times as we have passed through this year. It must be exterminated if the hard times are to be avoided. But who is to exterminate it? The republicans will not do it. The populists will not do it. It is the duty of the Democratic party to solve this problem, even If there are a few traitors in their camp whp combine with the republicans to hinder it. They can not hinder it if the true Democrats will only stick to their flag, and this is at present necessary. Something has been accomplished; more can be accomplished This is not the time to be weak, tired and discouraged, but the time to be up and doing, to gather strength, not only that what has been gained may not be lost again, but to gain what may be opposed to us. The first trench of the enemy is taken, but a true soldier is not satisfied with this, he will storm on to gain the whole works of the enemy. Bobo Items.

NINE WERE Kll.l.Kn. Nearly a Score Injured by a Collapsing Building, SLEEPING TENANTS CAUGHT. Poorly Constructed Eight-Story Ilullding Topples Over During a Wind and Hain Storm, Bringing Down Parts of Adjoining Structures—Lists of the Dead and Injured. • New York, Oct. 11.—Latest particulars of the collapse of a new 8-story building at 74 Monroe street yesterday, during the hight of a windstorm, state that the collapse brought down with it the house at 72 Monroe street and the rear extension of the building on the other side, No. 78. Both places were filled with sleeping tenants, who were buried under the tremendous mass of ruins. The crash of the falling walls aroused the neighbors, who, scantily clad, began the work of rescue, which was continued well into the day by police and firemen. They mined far under the bricks and beams and mortar and from out the ruins they took the dead and injured. Taken Out Dead. I. I. Abrams, aged 40 years. Mrs. Bessie Abrams, aged 40, wife of A. 11. Abrams. Rose Abrams, 18, daughter of I. I. and Mrs. Bessie Abrams. Mrs. Bertha Karones, aged 50, board driven into alxlomen. Abraham Karones, her son, 9 years old. Solomon Karones, her son, aged 9.

The new building at 74 Monroe street was eight stories high. It had been erected by Aaronowitz, proprietor of a foundry about a block away. He built the new building for a foundry aud its completion was celebrated Tuesday by hanging out flags and tapping a keg of beer. Aaronowitz was arrested yesterday afternoon and arraigned before Justice Hogan in Essex Market police court. In spite of the fact that he was charged with homicide, Justice Hogan discharged him. The structure, it is alleged by Thomas Brady, whose family occupied the rear of No. 76, was weak. For Sale or Trade— For town property or for a farm.
