Vote for McKinley and the full dinner pail. ‘

A vote for Bryan is a vote to close our mills and factories.

A vote for the straight Republican ticket is a vote to continue prosperity.

We still continue to hear tbit numerous traveling men are going to vote against McKinley, but nobody ever sees one.

Chairman Jones gives Bryan 32<> votes in the Electoral College; but the people will go through the usual formalities fast the same.

Vote for your Republican Congressman so as to sustain the President in his policies for good government.

Mr. Bryan's well known attack* upon a factory in Nebraska City has not yet. knocked the starch out of it.

.‘Vote for a Republican State Legislature which will elect a Republican to the l nited States Senate.-

Republicans must not forget, in their enthusiasm for the national ticket, to look out for the candidates for Congress.

The heaviest Democratic arguments in this campaign are scantlings, chunks of ice. brickbats and mud.

Earnest work, constant work personal effort from now until the polls are closed will insure the greatest victory the Republican party ever gained over the enemy.

Mr. Croker had better bo careful in circulating too extensively his Imperial opinion that the Ice Trust is merely-a local issue: General Hancock thought the tariff' merely a local issue.

The safe way to vote in the coming election is to put an X mark in side the circle containing the eagle. That is the sure way of indorsing prosperity, patriotism and progress.

In 1896.

McKinley received 7,107,000, and Bryan 6,509,056 votes at the last election. McKinley’s plurality was 578,924. McKinley received 805,752 totes over all of the presidential candidates. McKinley received 271 electoral votes and Bryan 176. The total popular vote polled was 13,910,208.

How He Made Farmers Suffer.

“Under a gold standard farmers i cannot pay their mortgages, and I simply have to lose what they have invested.” From a speech delivered in Benton Harbor, Mich, by Mr. Bryan, October 16, 1890, In Mr. Bryan’s own state, Nebraska, the value of mortgages which were released or canceled in 1898, the second year of McKinley's administration, was $27,496,070, which is $9,300,000 greater than the value of mortgages paid off in 1896. Instead of farm lands depreciating in value, they have appreciated tremendously. On this subject the American Agriculturist recently said: Agricultural real estate is now worth $1,220,000,000 more than it was, a single year ago; the percentage of farms occupied by owners is now larger than ever before, while the number of farms under mortgage bus materially decreased. “The amount of mortgages on farms occupied by their owners is estimated at about $300,000,000 less than at the beginning of the decade. Mortgages now average only about 27 per cent, of tne farms they afe on, the rale of interest has declined, and in great bulk of mortgages now in force were incurred to buy the farm or to improve it."

Free Silver and Free Soup Are On The Bum.

tune: —‘‘Old Kentucky Hoipe.” Oh Democrats don’t say there is no work today For thisyou know quite well is not the truth Put the armor on, push Prosperity along Let FreeJSilver and Free Soup go on the bum. CHORUS: Weep no more Billy Bryan Weep no more today ■» For we re going to push Prosperity along While Free Silver and Free Soup go on the bum. O McKinley will be there, Jn the V bite House, in the chair, With Protection and Sound Money at liis back. But young Bryan will have to wait For defeat will be his fate While Free Silver and Free Soup go on the bum, Oli the Democrats they say, Cuba is too far away. . And Manila farther still, declare, J3uHlie Stars and Stripes will lioat, And the natives learn to vote In Manila’s land that’s far beyond the sea. Oh, McKinley is the man Who has shown the world the plan, To settle questions in China of despite. And other nations have been taught, not to touch things that are hot In Manila bay where Dewey won his fame linperalism is tlinir cry, Protection they .deny Free Silver is a sham to fill up space But the workingman today, knows he’s getting better pay. While Free Silver and Free Soup go on the bum

False Prophet, Too.

i t On the day after the election |of 1896 Parks Martin, chair- \ man then and now of the Bry- { unite state committee, made the | claim that Bryan had carried I the state by 15.01)0 to 18,000, j and this with the returns then t indicating a reversed condition las was later confirmed. Mr. * Martin’s long suit is irp, rnak- : ing claims; not cue of whjen j has ever been verified, and his j idle ’ boastings < f the present. I serve only to amuse those Ivei publicans acquainted with his :record.

How Gold Descried Us

Gold is arrogant and tyrannical j An time of peace, and it deserts any j inatioh in time of war—-From aj speech delivered in Indianapolis,! . Ind .by Mr. Bryan, October 6th j 11896. The stock of gold in the United '' §t,ates has increased enormously ' since Mr. Bryan’s nomination in J ! 1896. On July Ist of that year, 1 ' the gold in this country, including ! the coin and bullion in the treasury ' department, was 1599,595,964. j By March 1,1900, the eud of the ! third year of President McKinley’s j administration, it had nearly, doubled, the amount being $1,025825,162. Since Mr. Bryan made this state-1 ment the United States has been engaged in a foreign war, and did gold desert us then? No! It came pouring in from all the world. In 1898, the year cf the war with Spain, the gold that was sent to this country from abroad amounted to $120,402,195, while only $15,533,719 was exported, leaving a balance in our favor of $104,868,- ■ 476. s In July 1, of that year, the stock t of gold in the United States a j. c « il ■ i iiu 111 ,000, an increase since Mr. Bryan’s nomination of $300,000,000, and ■ since July 1, 1897, an increase of J $200,000,000. is liow the > precious metal deserted the Araerir can people in time of war.

Bryan's Allied Forces and What They Truly Represent. It is useless to deny tliat Mr. Bryan is greatly handicapped by the fact hiat instead of being the candidate of one political- party, accustomed to act together, he is leading an amalgamated host made up of three separate organizations. These parties, while they have olio bond of,cohesion, differ radically on most-, Of the ' Other issues. The feat which, Mr. Bryan is attempting politically, for the first time in .our, .iiistory, difficult enough at best, is rendered especially so by the peculiar .characteristics of his allied forces. Never before were such'discordant antagonisms yoked together, * * ..But the chief, difficulty will arise should the allied parties meet with victory and succeed la capturing the government. Even wolves may be united in harmony to pursue prey and they work very well together until the game is run down. It is over the division of the.meat that the music arises, and it is well if the hungry varlets, having devoured the antelope, do not set upon and devour each other. The point of all this will appear when ihe effort is made to get the various wings to agree upon measures of reform after they are snugly j ensconced at Washington. In a multi- ' tude of counsellors there is distraction. I The patient will die while the doctors J are wrangling over remedies. The president who tries to utilize such I forces for the accomplishment of a fixed policy will have a job on hand I compared to which the taming of the j zebra and yoking tiro unicorn seem like light amusement. The great bedrock truth is that allied parties, though they may -be made effective to got in with, because ah opposition needs only mutual hatred and common hunger as motives for action, can never be relied on to accomplish legislative reforms. * * * The Independent is therefore constrained to predict that, difficult ns Mr, Bryan finds it to get in, his chief troubles will not begin until he is seated. An advance kiuetoscope picture of nis cabinet, if it could be thrown on the curtain, would certainly draw crowds to the limits of “standing room only.’* There is Arkansaw Jones, for instance, the war chief and field leader of the triumphant hosts. * * * Such a man to introduce financial reforms for this mighty nation might be found amusing if introduced by way of burlesque in comic opera, but as a serious venture would be inconceivable in a normal condition of parties. Croker of New York, fresh from carrying the Empire state, reeking with exactions from vice and Infamy of .all sorts to be used as a campaign fund; Altgeld, as attorney general, in the act of enforcing the law for whosp existence on the statute books he has made all his notoriety by denouncing; , Tillman, ns sccretaryy of war, recalling the troops from the Philippines to | save the brown man while he lets loose the dogs of war on the black man In his own state; “Cholly” Towne, as secretary of the trensury, opening the safe with Ids sliver hatchet; "Web” Davis, as secretary of state, getting even with England by re-es-tablishing-the Boci* republic; Populist Weaver, as secretary or agriculture, to teaclf farmers how to raise hell ii'.steall *bf hominy; to say nothing of “Coin” irarvey, /‘Windy.* Allen an(>many others of/ the,' president's inti-’ rnrtte cronies to fill out ‘the minor plaoes. with- this "menagerie of living Bryan to ' work‘on the rocky* rOad to reform.

Make a cross, with a blue pencil, inside the circle which contains the eaale and nowhere else and you,will vote a straight Republican ticket. Four ballots will be handed to each voter by the election officers, as follows: “The National and State,” on red paper; "the County,” on white paper; "the Township," on yellow paper, and’ the “Constitutional Amendments,” on white paper.
