Cheap Farm Loans.

Call on Valentine Seib, Rensselaer, for the cheapest farm loans offered in .Jasper county. Large or small accounts. Electric Bitter a. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited -for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic ■and alterative is felt. A prompt use of -this has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and /freeing the system from the malaria poison. Headache, indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 150 cents and SI.OO per bottle at KB. Meyer’s drug store.

"The Hub's" Fall Opening.

Chicago's Great Clothing Store Makes a Handsome Display for the 1 Annual Event. A novel effect in exterior decoration is just now attrac-.inga great deal of attention in Chicago. That well and favorably known clothing s ore, “The Hub,” at State and Jackson streets, Chicago, is the originator of this unique display and the “ninth annual fall opening,” the event for whicn it was prepared. An entire immense business block totally covered with evergreen from the sidewalk line w y up to the roof, a solid mountain of deep green foliage, studded with innumerable electric lights, producing an effect that carries one back to memories of World’s Fair times, when this enterprising house surprised all America with an electrical display that challenged the admira ion of people from all parts of the world. The rapid growth and popularity of “The Hub” is a striking example of Chicago push and enterprise. Unknown and unimportant less than ten years ago, it now enj jys the distinction of being the largest clothing store in the country, if not in the world. The Hub of Ch cago carries the largest assortment of readymade clothing in i his part of the country, and the very liberal patronage it enjoys seems to prove that the general public appreciates fully the low prices and upright business methods of this great emporium

The Only Exclusively Shoe Store.

Judge Haley has enlarged his shoe store by building an extention for his repair shop. This enlargement gives him a very nice sales room, and he has received this week a large stock of new goods which will give him a very complete line of all kinds of shoes for all kinds of people. The judge has no clerks or rent to pay and items that enable him to make lower prices than others can -do.

| MORE WAGES IF BRYAN IVINS. | $ NOTICE POSTED BY tHE MANAGER OF THE J £ . CENTRAD CITY STOVE WORKS. £ | Newark, 0., Oct. 5.-Manager | I Cunningham of the Central City £ I Stove Works has posted a notice at 1 1 the factory announcing that in the event of Bryan’s election the com- £ J pany will at ohce increase wages a 10 per cent. a I I t " i » $ The Iron Chancellor For Silver. S v The fact that two different translations have been £ IE made of the now celebrated letter written by the great <c £ German statesman, Bismarck, to Ex-Gov. Culberson of W v Texas, suggested the idea of having a special transla- £ tion made for the leaders of this paper. We selected * £ the talented German scholar, our townsman, Professor • C. Haas, than whom no man stands higher for integri- 0 ® ty and ability. He is a native German, and his version WE £ is eminently correct. The following is his version: g DEAR SIR: Your valued favor of the 10th of July of > g this year I have received. I always have had a predilection £ S for bi-metallisin, without considering myself infallible in * < opposition to the experts, as I was in office. I still believe £ £ to-day that it will be recommendable for the countries J* principally engaged in the commerce of the world, to strive Jfi for an agreement in the direction of bi-metallism. £ 5 The United States are economically more free in their < government than any single one of the European states, and if North America would find it compatible with its • interests to take a self dependent step in the direction of a ‘ Jfi double standard, I believe that such a step would be of £ $ furthering influence for the establishment of an internal- 2 • ional agreement and of the following of the European countries. With the assurance of my excellent respect, I am your most devoted servant, von Bismarck. B a? The above is the strict translation of the letter from £ S Prince Bismarck to Ex-Gov. Culberson of Texas and * £ I. as well as every other person, who speaks and. reads W v the German language, must understand by it, that £ W Prince Bismarck is in favor of bi-metallism both in * Europe and America; and the United States beino 1 • more free in political economy and more self-dependent £ g in their government than any one of the European * countries, he advises immediate independent action on > the part of the United States, as he believes, that £ ® such action would precipitate international agre'nneut. * J Prof. C. Haas. J

Labor Must Beg For Work.

Gold-standard advocates admit that free coinage will raise the price of commodities. The labor er then becomes a free man. He no longer stands in fear of losing his job. Labor then becomes free to demand its price, because there is a permanent and increasing demand for it. The permanent adoption of the gold standard will sink prices lower, and there will be less demand for labor. The republican party proposes to sink the prices lower, then try to raise the price of some articles by high protection. This would allow these articles to be furnished the people of this country at a very high price, pro vided there was enough demand for them. But who is to buy this stuff? The masses of the people will have little money to buy with. Only a portion of the labor of the country can be employed, and the balance must go idle. How is the laborer to demand and receive good wages when not half of the labor of the coun try can find anything to do? The laborer will be forced to beg for employment at any price.

A Wonderful Campaigner.

Bryan is the world’s mos marvelous orator; uncqualed ii any age for physical endurance and fertile capacity, multiplying his speeches' always in a fresh vein, and though ' treating practically the same subject, finding new illustrations and different language. He aston

What Free Silver Will Do.

I shall vote for J. Bryan at the coming election, because I believe that th#; free coinage of silver will, fat the end, stimulate productlfb and therefore create a demand for labor. Abd the demand increases so will Mages increase. The wage-earned who are organized, into uniotiA have investigated this * or themselves and they long ago, as the records of congrbfai will bear witness, came to sion that it was to their interest to have free coinage. I agree with them. The fact thai a few well-known democrats have deserted their party bbcdUse of its financial policy only ebbfirms me in my belief. Most oi them are millionaires, anyway* and have no real sympathy with the toilers of the country. Mi?. Bryan has the confidence df the workers; he has always Spoken for them; has defended their rights and supported fill legislation intended for their benefit. As between him and the bolting gold men of his party, the laboring man can easily make a choice. He will follow Bryan every time. Finally, I shall vote the straight democrat ticket, be cause I believe that wage-earn-ers have everything to gain and nothing to lose from free coinage. Can their conditibn'be any worse than it has been for the last three or four years? The election of McKinley will mean that the present state of affairs is to con tinue indefinitely;that there is to be no change;that wages will remain low and that work will be as hard to get as ever. If there were no other reasons for voting for free coinage the chance—tne probability— that it will result in giving work to the idle would be enough for me. West Sider. Chicago, Sept. 25.

GREETING TO BRYAN

From The European Workers In The Cause of Economic Emancipation. The folowing cable message, signed by delegates to the International Agricultural Congress called at Budapest, Hungary, by the Hungarian Minister of Agriculture, was sent to the Democratic candidate for President of the United States last week: To Mr. William Jennings Bryan, Headquarters Demoeratic Party, Chicago: We, the undersigned members of the International Agricultural Congress convened at Budapest, wisn you success in your struggle against the domination of the creditor class, which, during the past twenty-three years, has secured, both in America and in Europe, monetary legislation destructive of the prosperity of your farmers and others. Should you be victorious in November we pledge ourselves to spare no effort to bring immediate pressure upon our respective Governments to' cooperate with the Government of your great nation in restoring silver to the world’s currency. We believe that, failing such restoration, the gold premium throughout all Asia and South America will continue to rob the farmer equally of America and Europe of all rewards for his toil, and that your election may avert from Europe serious agrarian and social troubles now impending. , Count Alexander Kurolyl, President Hungarian Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Thompson Denies.

To the Editor of the People's Pilot: Ou Oct. 1, 1896, there was published in your paper several personal allusions to myself, among them the-foliowing: “Mr. Thompson described the silver man as having * * * * an extreme narrowness between the eyes.” The truth is, that in a so called silver convention, which I did not attend, one William Granger, inspired by William Bryan, or some other apostle of the free and unlimited, coined the expression out ot his own brain, as his contribution to fusion. “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they shall believe a lie.” 2 Thess.. 2-11. No middle of the road man would believe all he hears. Ido not critisize the physical appearance of my fellow citizens. S. P. Thompson. October 3, 1896. The editor of the Pilot, equally with other people, is liable to error and impositions, and is anxious to have Mr. Thompson placed right before the public. It is possible that our informant was mistaken, as it is not likely that even Mr. Thompson would accuse a man so recently from the republican party, as Mr. Granger, with any wilfull mis representation, and that Mr. Thompson really meant exactly the reverse to what he was re ported to have said. Our understanding of Mr Thompsons views on the physical appearance of the silver man is, that he is wide between the eyes, has a well proportioned head, and a highly intellectual countenace.
