Organize silver clubs. *** * * Distribute Silver Literalun ***** Circulate the Silver Daily. ***** Gold never stayed in circulation when there was a business depression. **,*** Indiana will be carried for free silver, sd will Illinois, lowa, Minnesota, ( Michigan and Wiscobsin. Any one of these states is sufficient to elect Bryan. ***** The editor being unexpectedly called from home tbU morning, this issue is Somewhat lacking in editorial, and probably the readers will recognize the fact and trust that he will depend more on his shears than on his pencil in the future. ***** Did you ever stop to consider that Bryan is making no apology for his past record on silver and financial reform. He stands squarely on it—how about the man who looks like Napoleon? His flop to the gold standard is really amusing. ***** If silver should be restored to its former position it would then be at par with gold, and the importer of grain would not then be able to buy silver cheap with which to exchange for the products of the silver-standard countries, which would result in raising the price of the leading agricultural products to the normal price. The British and European madrets having to pay more, those who produce would, of course, get more. ***** It is admitted, ever by its most pronounced opponents, that free coinage of silver will advance the selling price of all farm products, but not a voice dare be raised to say that the “depreciated” silver dollar will not pay as much taxes and debts as the scarcest gold dollar they could find. ■ ***** England will take no responsibility whatever in leading the way either jointly or otherwise; so if anything is to be done for the restoration of silver to the position it ought to occupy, the amenoration of prices and the saving of the debtor, it is for the United States alone to lead. The rest will soon follow.

Old Lumber For Sale. I have for sale about 50,000 feet of oak lumber of all diminsions. at my farm 5 miles northwest of Rensselaer, at prices to suit the times, James Yeoman. Silver* League. There will be public meeting at the Center school house in Milroy tp. on Tuesday evening Sept 22. a Silver League will be organized: Eugene Dilley and David W. Shields will address the meeting upon the subject of free coinage of silver. Gold will at once leave its hiding place in the bank vaults and seek investment when it is known that silver is to be restored to its old place as a money metal. We’re all selfish. The Creator did not make any class of people who wore entirely unselfish. But I have faith in our form of government, because I believe that people in their better moments will adopt laws which restrain themselves in hours of temptation. in order that their neighbors may also be restrained in hours of temptation.—W. J. Bryan.
