The destruction of silver as

Plymouth, should attend this the last I meeting of the campaign. This is the duty of every People's party man. And while we impress upon the minds of our populist friends the necessity of falling into line and making this a notable occasion, we desire to extend to everybody a cordial invitation to attend this rally w here truth will be paramount, and misrepresentation an unknown factor. The People's party, as a medium for political education, is tin -rough; they do not believe in condemning a man because he sees lit to believe differently. Iut they do believe in trying to bring to the people the light of reason in regard to the governmental affairs of this great nation. Oxe week from next Tuesday is election da v. Peoi'lkV Nov. lid. pakty rally at Plymouth How will yoMi vote affect the conditioh of this co-int rv? Horn the old parties continue to call each other '-calamity howlers." Tin: people's party candidates are all good honest men, and deserve the sup- j port of every man who believes in ti nt political reform. Tin: candidates whose names appear on the people's party ticket this fall, are all good honest men. and will no doubt poll a large vote. Tin: truth of the matter is. both the old parties are looking out for their political plums, and care very little for the wants of the people. T i iei:e are many kinds of bondage in which men are enthralled. In this great country there probably is no thralldom more oppressive than that of party. Ix speaking of the different candidates last week we failed 'to mention Uenjamin J. Cramer, the people's party candidate for trustee, who although 47 years of age, has been a resident of Marshall county for the past 41 years, lie lias always followed the vocation of a farmer and is known throughout this section of the state as a man of sterling quality, upright, conscientious and straightforward. Uenjamin J. Cramer is well qualified to till the otlice for which he is nominated. L-A.VT week we failed to mention our candidate for Justice of Peace. John II. Hoy was born in Fairfield county Ohio Oct. 22. is:;i, and removed to Findlay two months later. Was engineer on the 1. F. YV. A: C. II. 1, lor fifteen years and enlisted in the army in regiment ITH Ohi Vols. Has resided in this county IS years during which time he has followed farming as an occupation and has resided in Plymouth four years. He is a man of sterling qualities good judgement and habits, and if e'ected would make a good justice of the peace. Tin: success of any political party does not wholly depend upon the principles laid down in their platform. Nor do its victories depend upon the eloquence and convincing logic produced by its campaign orators. To bring success to an issue advocated by a party, needs the support and assistance of man, yes, and woman, who believes the principles proclaimed and advocated by their recognized leaders are right. It is necessary for every man to work as well as vote. This, and this alone, will in

time bring success to the party that is advocating the right principles. These principles are those that will benefit the great mass of struggling American citizens.

"Vox Porru Vox iki" is a familiar cry uttered by the democratic party for lo these many years, and has been utilized as a motto on their banners, placed upon the "outer walls" of the democratic ramparts. J Jut w hen they have secured the reins of governmental -affairs, they forget the Avar cry so cunningly used in the preceeding campaign. Prophetic Words. The immortal James (!. 151aine, who all fair-minded and unbiased men de lighted to point to with pride before his i (k,ath amlwhl, as a ,.iitic-til reformer, stood head and shoulders above his party, was a populist on the money J question. It is amusing to see how the republican press throughout the cimj try steers clear of these breakers: and j while eulogizing the name and memory 'utterance to those memoriable Avoids i j uttered by him when the light to kill ; silver, came to his notice. Listen to I his prophetic words: i "I believe that tin struggle now go;h,r jn (,is country and in other money and the establishment of gold as the sole unit of value, must have a ruin ous effect on all forms "f property, except those investments which yield a fixed return in money. These would be enormously enhanced in value and would gain a disproportionate and unfair advantage over every other species of property. If, as the most reliable statistics ailirin, there are nearly 7,00oxo,UKof coin or bullion in the world not very unequally divided between gold and silver, it is impossible to strike the silver out of existence as money w ithout results that will prove distressing to millions and utterly disastrous to tens of thousands." Good Times Fair Wages. In ISC) I came to Marshall county and found all prosperity. Everybody at work at good wags. Common day laborers received from S2.25 to 82.Ö0 per day, mechanics from $0 00 to ."..") per day and plenty of work for all, and cash in hand every night if wanted. The farmer was getting fair prices for all his farm products; wheat being about 82.50 to s2.75 per bushel, farm hands were fairly paid by the month or day and had no trouble to get the cash for their labor when due. Horses and cattle and hogs bringing quadruple today's prices or more. I had a litt'e house repairing to do, and almost had to get down on mv ! knees, begging carpenters at sl.oo painters the same plasterers at .SÖ.Ö0 and 87.00 per day to do the work I required, so busy were they all, and only by allowing some of the workmen to do their work at night, could I secure workmen to linish my buildings at all. Shortly before the time of Cleveland's last election I had a day's work at sidewalk building to do, and feel safe in saying that over a score of carpenters came to me begging that they ought to be allowed to build that sidewalk, even at so low a price as 10 cents a day. A large number of these carpenters begging for work at 75 cents a day, were those who in ISC") had been begged to work at a day and had refused to do it for cash, although they offered to do the work for 73 cents per day and take pay in almost any sort of store pay, produce or truck, so badly off for work and wages were they. This is the experience of thousands who have had a little mechanical work to do within the past dozen years and it only goes to show, that in ls'T with our money circulation then at about $10 per capita and now the contraction of our currency to about 11 per capita, silver demonetized and gold made the monetary standard, and all legislation of the past thirty years made in the interest of the gold shark's favor and against the interest of the masses that labor - the farmer, the mechanic and in fact against everybody except the gold bug or the monopolist, that time could not be otherwise but hard and suffering to be seen all over the land, cursed by such class laws as have been enacted within the past thirty years. The gold sharks have secured perfect control of the leaders of both old parties andean force such legislation in their own interest, they may require to keep their hold on the throats of the people. With over one half of congress in both houses made ii of national bankers and the other half of which three quarters of them are corporation lawyers, and not a single farmer in congress, how can we expect any relief from the class laws that are cursing the country of our time. Our taxes are higher today with wheat 13 cents, than when wheat readily brought 2.30 to 2.S0 a bushel. The salaries of our public officials are double now what they were when wheat was near .k and there are more officials; almost three fold. lothey enjoy being robbed? Do they

expect different laws by forever keeping the old parties in office that have brought such distress to our country? Shall "we have any chance, to try and secure relief from all the class legislation that lias made our country one of millionaires and tramps to an extent known to no other country on the globe? People will cling to the name of a party long, long after that party of their first love has lost all its original principles and represents everything that it once condemned. Is not this true to a large extent with many old party supporters? Does not old party worship keep the yoke of class injustice on our necks, by electing to congress the bought slaves of monoply, who will forever serve their masters, and outrage the people who elected them? shall we always allow our party classes to do our thinking for us or shall Ave ever think ami act for our

selves? Twin Lakes. Mrs Herring, of Elkhart, is visiting her mauv friends in this vicinity. Mrs. Kepler and sister sivilla Ueatty, have returned from a visit with friends in Akron, Ohio. We expected to see Mose Holm's newbuggy, but it has not materialized yet. Forest Holm and mother have gone to Akron O. on an extended visit. The repairs and repainting of Stuck church are progressing at a lively rate, already the improvement is very great and when completed this will be. one of the best edifices of its kind in any township.

La Paz. The remains of Uazzell Pichards were interred in the Fair i raw-yard mi Sunday last. Mr. Pic-hards was well known throughout this section, having lived for years, some three miles north east of La Paz. His funeral was largely, attended. The Stave factory narrowly escaped destruction by lire, last Saturday night. Luckily the blaze was discovered and extinguished before it had gained any great headway. The cause of the lire is unknown. Mrs. John Corp has moved to La Paz. Mrs. Dr. Deniston was called to South IJend on last Saturday, her sister being quite sick.

Deniston, justice of peace of north precinct; Jacob Francis, justice of peace of south precinct; Abner Ferguson, constable of north precinct; David Peace, constable of south precinct. We heard a soldier say the other day, if this administration did cut down, his pension, he would vote the democratic ticket anyway. Thats right, stick to it, if it takes your head off. Judge Hess, of Plymouth made a political speech here Saturday evening to quite a fair congregation of Republicans. I am informed that the tariff was his subject.
