His business as was his father's and grandfather's before himy "was that of building ships, and, while he has invested Homo of his earnings from that busi ness in the stock of a bnnk and some other corporations, yet that does not render him any "the less a sincere silver advocate. It might' just as well bo charged that MajrGu$h rie is not a silver man became he is a cor poration lawyer and owns stock in corporations I ' A man sitnated as Mr. Sew all, living in a State where the silver men in a. minority, deserves : much more credit for advocating free sil ver than a man who lives in a State where thegreat majority are for sil ver arid he merely goes with the crowd. - , Mr. Sewall was formally notified of his nomination last, week, at New York, at the same time Mr.'. Bryan was notified, and ho made a short but excellent speech of acceptance which we commend 1o the careful consideration of all who doubt his sincerity : It is as follows : "Our party, and we believe, a great majority of the American peo ple are convinced that the legisla tion of 1873, demonetizing silver, was a wrong inflicted upon our country which should and must be righted. We bcUevo that the single gold standard has so narrowed the bae of our monetary structure that it' is U"stabJe -and unsafe, and so dwarfed it, jn its tTevelopment and in its povror to furnish the necessary financial blood to. the nation, that commercial and industrial paralysis has followed. ' ' ' We believe that we need, and must have tho broad and expanding foundation of both gold and silver to support a monetary system strong and stable, capable of meeting tho dema'nds of a growing country and an iudustrious. energetic and enter prising people, a system' that will not be weakened. and panic stricken by every foreign draft upon us, a sys tem that will maintain a parity of jut values and the nation's money, and protect us from the frequent uctuations of to-day, so disastrous td eAcry business and industry of the county. ; We demand tho free .coinage of silver, the opening of our mints to both money metals without dis crimination, the return to tho mon ey of our fathers, the money of our Constitution gold and silver! We believe this is the reme ly and the only remedy for the evil from which we are now suffering, tho evil that is now so. fast devastating and im poverishing our land and people, bringing poverty to our homes and bankruptcy to our business, which if allowed to continue will grow" un til our very institutions are threaten ed. The demonetization of silver has thrown the whole money function on gold, appreciating its value and purchasing power. Restore the money function to silver and silver will' appreciate and its purchasing power increase. Take from gold its monopoly, its value will be reduced, and in due course the' parity i.f the I two metals will again obtain under natural causes. We shall then have a broad and unlimited foundation for a monetary cysteni. commensurate with our country's needa and future develop ment, but the unsafe basis of to-day reduced by half bylhe removal of silver and continually undermined by foreigners carrying fiom us our gohL . This is the reform to whkh we are pledged, the re-form the people demand, the return to the monetary system of over eighty years of pur national existence. The Demo cratic party has ahniuly jriven iU approval and its pledge. Our op- Htnents admit the wisdom of the principle for which we omtenfL but a-k us to await prrrnimiiun and re operation of othr nations. Our people will not wait Ther wilj not k ptTmisrton of any nation on earth to relieve them selves of the cause of their distress. The issue has been made. . The peo ple stand ready to render their vorr diet next November. ,v . .Mr. "Chairman, unequivocally and through sincere conviction I in dorse the platform on which I have been 'nominated.'-'.-. I believe we are right, the people are with us, and what the people declare in is always right and must 'prevail. I accept the nomination, and with tho pco pie's confirmation, every effort of which God shall render me capable will be exerted in support of the principles involved.'' The Philosophy of Strikes. -: AUanta CongtltoUon. Among the various evils which the Republican policy of finance has engendered in this country mayu be included the labor strikes (which have occurred with such" deplorable frequency within the last few years - When money is " plentiful and time3 prosperous, no one ever hears a murmur of complaint from labor. It is only when depression settles upon the money market and the producers of the land aro unable to realize anything like a satisfactory price for the articles which they produce that labor becomes restless and dissatisfied. Strikes were never herd of until the single gold standard was foisted upon the country. Then began the long period of discontent which has continued down to the present tfnie. Taking the figures contained in the official records, the amount of money which the laboring men of this country have lost since 1881 aggregates nearly $200,000,000, while, during the sinue time, em ployers have snffored to the extent of $95,000,000. The unhappy condition of thinirs which these figures set frth is di rectly traceablo to tho single gold standard. As the volume of the nation's currency has been restricted ju ices have necessarily been reduced and with the decline in prices there has been a consequent, if not simul taneous, decline in wages. In or der to restore good times and pre vent the possibility of strikes, it is necessary that silver should be placed on a parity with gold. Until this is done, strikes will abound the specb rs of want and suffering will continue to stalk abroad through the Innd. . , . From a mcent issue of the Labor Journal the following significant paragraph is clipped, showing the demoralization which prevails- in labor circles at the present time: In Boston 10,000 laborer aro out of work. In Worcester 7, - - 000 are unemployed; in New Haven, 7,000; in Providence, " 0.C00:.in New . York rity. 100, 000; Utica is a small city, but the unimploycd number 16, 000; in Patterson X.J, one half of the people are idle; in Phila-. delphia, 13,000; 10.000 in Bal timore; 3,000 in Wheeling; 6, 000 In Cincinnati; 8,000 in Cleveland; 4,000 in Columbus; 5,000 in Indianapolis; 2,500 in Terre Haute; 00,000 in Chica go; 2"j,Qpa hi Detroit; 20,000 iix-MilwJaukee; 6,000 in Xlinno- apoli; Vicksburj, 1,000; St I-ouis, 80,000; St. Joseph, 2, QX, Omaha, 2,000; Rutte City, Mon., 5,000; 15,000 in San Francisco. If those who indorse the single gold standard are not able to pro- duce a Ix-ttcr argument than -this, they had letter abandon the fight, so far as that side of the controver sy is concerned, and espouse the cause of bimctalism. As for tho laboring mm of the count rv. ther will rote almost as a unit against the present standard, which Las lnsun the author of such widespread discontent and suffering. Ha Waa (M Liar. - "I am done with South America," he declared with an air of disgust as be looked at the other loungers in the hotel regaling rW and sipped a glass of beer. "Nature overdoes everything down there. Melon vin grow so fast that the melons are ruined by being dragged over the ground; - Where the wil is the most fertile the natives have to go op in a balloon to pick grapes. Corn grows so tall that crows cat ' it out of gun range, and the stalks have to be cut . down, with an ax. The crass conies on so fast that the farmers make hay every .wcck,'; and there aro enough fruits to supply the markets of the world, v A man can live there without turning a hand." "I guess not," grunted an old to per who was looking for just that kind of n snap. , '"I say you can and havo the best there is going.. Rut I wouldn't live there if they deeded mo the whole shooting match. There aro more snakes there than there are leaves in CfFormosa or whatever it is. They can run like a motor car and climb a tree like a cat." v.-r- - "Iligh," shuddered the old to per. "And you people don't havo any storms up here. One of your cy cles would not bo a fresh breeze down there. I have seen a blow in Brazil turn on iron kettle wrong side out I had just bought a ticket for a place sixty miles away, quo evening, when I'll be domed if tho wind didn't pick the little station up and land me right where I want ed to go. , It was done so quick that the old clock did not get through striking seyeoL while wo-wcro mak ing the trip. I located a gold mine on top of a hill and , it - was . fulLof gold. One night the whole top of that infernal hill Mowed away, and when I found it a lot of Spaniards had jumped the claim." J'llow's tho grocery business?" brusquely asked a man who had come in a minute before, but the South American traveler had van ished as though on the wings a South American storm. "Runs a little, ono-horse grocery out hero at Sumptown," continued the newcomer. "Xever been out of Michigan in his life. Heavy-weight champion liar ox the world." Ex change. A Mixed Ceremony. Judge Lee, of Morgan county, who is ared hot silver man an 1 somewhat excitable in his nature, in marrying a couple recently, got the marriage ceremony mixed up with the Democratic platform Lito- ly adopted at the Chicago con ven- tion. After mistaking two of the attendants for tho brideind groom, he started off after this fashion : Dearly beloved, we are gath red to gether here in the presence of thaso witnesses to join togther this man and woman in holy matrimony at the ratio of lfl to 1,' which is an honorable estate instituted of Clod in the' time of man's innocency, signifying to us that the standard silver . dollar shall be a full legal tender equally with -gold for all debts, public and private, into which holy estate these- two persons present come now to be joined, therefore if' any one can show any just cause why William Jenningn Bryan should not be elected Presi dent of these United States, let him now speak or forever hereafter hold his 'peace. I require and charge you both to slick to tho Democratic platform lately adopted in Chicago, and if any of you know of any im pediment why ye should not, speak now or forever hereafter bold your tongue."

Ono of the favorite and" stereo typed assertions of tho org:r.ii of the I ddiies is that the agitation ,of the silver question is an attempts to ar ray tho masses of tho people against the wealthy class, i During the tar iff agititio i a similar chtrgo waj ni ido and the tariff organs wero' in Jhe habit of dilatin r u;oa tb.3 great outmgo tlu Do.no :ratio anti-high tariff advocates were perpetrating in attempting to array the misses again.it capital invostod in our man u fucturing ind ustrie . If . there bo really any conflict between the tnass es and the wealthy class the men who represent tho wealthy clas . in the present political contest aro . da iivj all they can to array the wealthy class against the masses and to con vince tho masses that there is really a conflict of interests which tho man of wealth accepts and acts up n. ... The spokesmen of the managers of the campaign for McKinloy make tho bold boast that they will have more money for use in this cam paign than they ever had, for they will have not only tho rich manu facturers (who expect to be paid back when tho Republican party comes in power) to draw upon, but also the money lenders, bond buy ers and gold speculator, who aro straining every nervu to djfeat the candidate of the Do nocratic party and thus retain control of the mon ey system of the country. In carry ing out this programme of wealth against The- people, Mark llanna and his co-laborers make no secret of the fact that they are relying upon the money of the rich to de feat' Bryan and Sewall, and they are bringing into active service men who have never heretofore figured open y in political contests. In Illinois Mark Hanna appointed a commit tee to collect campaign funds yhose aggregate wealth is over 850,000,000. During bis recont visit to New York he appointed a similar committee, consisting of about one hundred and forty men, 4vhosexfortun.w ranzo fr.nn ei2-, 000,000 to$l, 000,01 J whose combined wealths runs over $552,OCO,000. This programme will doubtless bo followed in other states, demonstrating tho fact that these parly managers aro arraying tho men of wealth against the mass es and that they aro relying upon the money of these men to elect their candidates. , Tommjr'aConipoMillon on Trampa. Excbaugu. Tramps are men who travel from pacd to place hunting work. If a trump hears of ivork in a place he goes'far out around it. This makes it very hard for the joor tramp to find anything to do. Tramps eat at back doors and would not know how to act at the table. Tho more tramps eat the hungrier they get. A tramp can eat all day and go to bed hun gry, j Trumps don't care much about the fashion fiir gentlemen. Once I saw a tramp wearing stovepipe on his legs... It was for dogs. Tramps look slow but they, can run faster than a dog. A tramp that docs not run away from a dog docs not stay a trim p long. If I was a tramp I would get me a suit of armor like tho old 'knights used to wear, and then I would look through my hel met barred, and would say : "banc cur that thou art, why gnawest at my legs ? j Clct thee gone for a sorry rascal !' , r Tramps do not wash their faces enough. Some boys have to wash. their's too much There is a happy medium which parents should cul tivate.

Gov't Report; mMM A Trust Woven of Thread. The Coata, Clark and Kerr FamlUea, In- taraaarrled, aorm a Comblaa. Na w York World. - A trust just been formed which is bound" to" Interest nine out of ten women young and old, tho world over. It has many millions of dol lars behind it and is likely to absorb roanj' millions more. It is sure to sn allow up many competitors who attempt to combat it or-Weinrtand with it on even ground, Think of all this fuss over the little spools of cotton thread that can be b5Ught'for a few pennies each over tho shop counters. . : . And there is a romance in this. thread trust ;whieh may brighten the "Song of tho Shirt" in all future time. " ; 1 For years the Coats, Chirks and tho Kerrs have been known as the great thread magnates. They sent their threads to the uttermost parts of tho earth. There used to be the greatest competition between them. Each firm was trying to best tho others. But ono day a young Coats fell in love with a Miss,, Clark. Then a Miss Keif lost her heart to a Coats, and matters ran on until tho present generation of Coats and Kerrs become closely bound j by family ties. Gradually business . competition has died out until now ; tho three powerful houses have, it is claimed, united with a prospect of controlling tho cotton trade of the world. The Kerrs, it is understood, have dropped out. so fur as their foreign businesss is concerned, for a cash consideration of 8750,000. Tho Clarks are reprjsentel in tho amalgamation by the Clark's Mile End Cotton company and the Clark's O. N. T. Spool Cotton company. There aro two or threo smaller manufacturers who have joined the! combination, which is controlled, liowever, by the united family. The companion in tho combina- tion have advanced pricts on thread in other countries ranging from 12! to 15 per Xent- The American branches in their price list sent out tho ffxt of the month Hindu nn change in the quoted prices. But a change was made in the discounts and terms of salo whercbyMhe re- Ki4cio u i V4 no iiviijia itsiii i the nianuiacturcrs as the jobbers, who had formerly been the go-be twecn. Tho idea of the combina tion is evidently to control the sale of threads at the retail counters. " Members of the combination seen were unwilling to discuss tho mat- ter. James Rustin, agent for one of the companies not in the combination, - . . . , , , said a trust had lccn formed which was as powerful as tho Standard Oil Co. Tho biggest thread companies in the world, ho said, were in it , . . . , , liim ihiu jui.riu tu uumu uii comers in this country.
