Entered at the Plymouth Tost Office as secondclass matter. A.R.ZIMMEKMAN,Editor and Propkif.toij. SUBSCIill'TIOX 1MIICK. One Year Si-w Six Months 73. Thk United States Supreme Court will render a decission May 13th, on the income tax question. While Judge Vincent, of Chicago ief used to have a public debate between the author of :'Coin"on the silver isaue and those in favor of the single standard; while his reasons may be good ones, the people throughout the country will see that it is a signal victory for the free coinage advocates. It shows conclusively that the single standard advocates are afraid to meet the issue. One of the most blatant promises of democracy when it was seeking power was that the trusts should be abolished. But after democracy got into power the trusts prospered as never before and just now there is more general suffering from the operations of the standard Oil and Beef combines, than has been known for many years. The price of beef affects all of us but the laboring man especially, and there is no doubt now that the high price of beef is caused entirely by the monopoly which has succeeded in getting control of all the supply of meat in the land. If the cattle raisers and producers were benefitted any by this rise in beef, there would be some compensation. But there lias been but little advances in price in cattle, and the profits go entirely to the combine. After persistent work, the combine has succeeded in breaking up to a large extent the butchering business in most towns and cities in this country and the dealers in meats who used to buy direct from the farmers and kill their own cattle are now obliged to buy their meat almost exclusively of the combine which has succeeded by pushing down prices, in destroying competition, and now have the consumers, both the retail dealers and the people entirely in their power. There is no relief either, except in a determined boycott by the people of the meats of the combine, and the united support of the home butchers who buy and kill their own meats. LET US REASON TOGETHER. Those who have read the great book of law, the Uible, can call to mind a passage of scripture that reads thusly: "Come let us reason together." This quotation should apply to the great controversy that is on regarding the financial issue in this country. It is a known fact that times have been going from bad to worse for years. It is another fact that the two great political parties have laid the trouble at the doors of each other. It is also a fact, that the legislation of either of these two parties, have not stayed the great depreciation in the products of labor, whether of the farm, ollice, or factory It is a fact, that to-day thousands of honest men are out of employment, wandering up and down this broad land of liberty seeking employment, and known to those who are more fortunately situated as tramps. It is a fact that the land owners of this country are decreasing, while those who are tenants are increasing. Again, it is a fact that the "dishonest dollar," the silver dollar buys just as much coffee to-day as the "honest dollar" the gold dollar. Other facts could be produced that would further prove the condition of to-day. Now it is acknowledged that the financial issue is the main one. Hut the kind of money, and the quantity needed to once more place this country in the prosperous condition it once occupied is the important question. The people say place the white metal, the money that the people uses, back where it was before 1873, when we had good times, everybody had work, and there were very few tramps. Now we desire to ask our single standard friends is not this a fair statement, and a desire tjiat is truly deserving. Now the single standard people, are opposed to such a return. They have fought it ever since the subject has come before the people and their cry is that they want "honest money." Now we will be honest with our opponents upon this question. They never have. They always use theory We will also leave "Coin" entirely out of it and use common sense. We will take the letter of President Cleveland. Note his antagonism to silver. We also see that those who uphold his ideas and pronounce them good, are who? The financier, the banker, the money loaners. What has been the experience of this gicat commonwealth along this line? Who is it that have made money throughout the years that this depression has come up

on us. Let our single standard friends tell us, who owns to-day the 111,072 farms that since 1873 have passed from the hands of the honest tillers of the soil. They have passed into the hands of the single standard advocate. There is something radically wrong in this country, and the people, the men and women who earn their brea I by the sweat of their brow, have a right to cry out against the damnable conspiracy entered into by the so-called kid-gloved, codfish aristocracy, who represent the single standard. You may howl against "Coin" and his school, and cry forgeries, but these facts remain the same. How long, oh Americans, will you allow this to continue.

THE NEW MAN. Incident of the Day When Women Shall Carry the Latchkeys. "Er Mildred," he said, a trille nervously, as his better half laid down the morning's paper, and lightning a cigarette, prepared for her departure to the city, "Mildred, dear, do you think you could spare me a little money to-day ?" His wife glanced at him impatiently, "What, again, George V" she said: Why, I only gave you your housekeeping allowance oiwlet me see Thursday, wasn't it? lleally some of you men seem to think we women are made of money." "You forget, my dear," he remarked, "there are the girl's wages, and the water rate, and the children both want new boots.' "Didn.t I give you the money for that." she asked. "No, dear, that was for the llannel f or little Milly's warm petticoats Eni making." "IJesides, dear don't be angry, will you? I saw such a cheap pair of trousers at the winter clearance sale yesterday that I could not resist buying them, and you know I have hardly a rag to my back." "Always your cry, George," she said angrily, "really your extravagence in dress is something sinful; it's a pity you haven't got to earn the money; you'd know its value then. Here take this, and for goodness sake do try and pay some of your household bills with it and not frivol the money away on a lot of trash." "There's a dear, good, darling wife," he cried joyfully, "let me heip my Mil dred on with her coat," he added, following her into the hall. "What time will you be home ? "(,an,t say, I'm sure," she answered, "I've got a lot to attend to at the ollice to-uay, and shall drop into the club for an hour or so after. So yon needn't wait dinner." "0, that'll be nice!' he responded "I've got my woman coming to wash to-day and the girls and I are going to put up clean curtains and things. Give me a kiss dearest! there there's your bus going now." And as the breadwinner dashed out after the passing vehicle George blew her a parting kiss and went up stairs to bathe the children." PLEASURE TRIPS. Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England State or the Atlantic sealxtard; to the South; or to the lake region of the North; or to the Kocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, lie will le given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. There will be low rates to Baltimore over the Pennsylvania Lines in May, account the American Medical Association; to Decatur, III., account the Herman Haptist (Dunkard) meeting, and to Pittsburg for the Presbyterian General Assembly. There will also 1 low rates over these lines to Meridian, Miss., account the General Assembly Cumberland Presbyterian Church the same month. In dune excursion tickets will be sold over the Pennsylvania Lines to Omaha, account the National Jr. O. U. A. M.; to Chattanooga. Tenn., for the Internationalconvention of Epworth League; to Cleveland, Ohio, account the National Republican League Meeting, and to Koanoke, Va., for the German liaptlst meeting. Excursions for July include low rates over the Pennsylvania to Haltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union Meeting: toAsbury Park for the L. A. W. meeting, and to lJoston for the Christian Endeavor Convention, and to Denver. Col., account the National Educational Association meeting. In August excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Lines to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave. The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organization mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them. The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Inig Branch, and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pensylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirable opiortunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be Just the thing for a sight-seeing jaunt through the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississipl and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will also be accorded Boston excursionists, enabling them to visit Niagara Falls. Montreal, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence tCaplds. the White Mountains, the Hudson Klver territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier, Nantucket and the Cane Cod resorts to New York, and thence through the agricultural paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, over the Alleghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve through historic Johnstown and the coke and Irons of Western Pennsylvania. It is also existed that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if the so desire. In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the season Is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements than the liberal concessions . i rates and privileges that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of these lines, or by addressing F. Van 1H ik. Chief Assistant General Passenger Agent, Pittsburgh, Pa.
