' A sign of the times - two patches on the bosom of his pants.: : t Free silver may ba madness, but a single gold standard is wail ing and gnashing of teeth. Parity is the relation between twa things a cuckoo Congress man and a jackass',' for instance. democratic statesmanship has cone to seed and the seed has;i rotted. ?

The ratio of dissatisfied Demo crats to those who are satisfied is about 16 to 1. . to get a little intelligent it makes him sweat, and when he, knows a little more he wants to kick clear 6ut of the party. When a man begins to wear a plug hat it is pretty good evidence that he has exhausted every other means of calling attention to his head. - ;JWe fear that Christianity on a gold basis won't- be a legal tender in heavenV The. DemocraTTc party ought to be sued for twenty thousand mill ion dollars for breach of promises. The Democratic party is-iifhe show business showing itsinca pacity to run the government?' Jf Three years ago the people were h sticking to the Democratic party ; now the party is sticking to them. party is sticking A rock-ribbed Democrat is one who hasn't got any meat on his ribs and. there's plenty of them. One of the hardest things to do (f now would be for; a man to tell why he was a Democrat. ' ' Bob Ingersol says there is no hell. Bob evidently doesn't know we are living under a Cleve- ' land Administration. The Rev. Dr. Morrison recently gave utterance to the following : "If Christ- should appear on earth to-day -and teach the doc trines he taught on the streets of Jerusalem, his pretended worship ers would seize him, and after due process of law in their courts, they would hang him by the neck till he was dead . I assert that not &r church on earth to-day either believes or teaches the doctrines that Christ taught as recorded in the script ures. "We fought, we foamed, we fiz zled? ,- . Any common - country fool can be a Democrat, but when he begins Poverty is not considered a curse so long as'honest labor will lift a man out of it, and labor, notwitnstandmff tne curse pronounced upon it, i$ regarded as a blessing so long as the laborer receives a just proportion of the fruits of his toil. But when there is no escape from poverty, and labor yields a bare subsistence or. perhaps is denied Hie privilege of toil, then-revolt arises, and-God and nature declare in favor of revolution. There is nothing more futile, basV or blasphemous than the habit of charging our misfortunes upon God. It is folly to argue that the depressed industrial con ditions of to-day are the " dispensations- of Providence. These disasters that have overtaken us in this the qlose ofthe, nineteenth century are 'th0f direct dispen- sationp trf a hearths ;rmortey power? As the first plank in the Nation al Democratic platform for 1896, the following has been suggested: Youvmay argue ;ihW this money power .is an .lnsurumeni iuy,uv: hands of GodVuiifJwould b far more appropriate to argue that it is an agent in the hands of the Devil. 11 When Rome stotdrv.niistress of . the world eighty five per cent Tbf ' her people, held title in jtand, her . " legions were. invincible, justice j ruled and mercv reigned, but she;' 1: ', made the mistake of the ages, reduced her money volume,, and as a result the land passed out from the hands of the people, intopg the hands of a few millionaires, population dwindled, "commerce , art, and science disappeared, the assassin's knite, the incendiary's torch made night and day alike" hideous. Just such legislation as brought these conditibns , upon Pome has been reenacted in our . . congressional Jialls, our money volume has been reduced. DanieL Webster said ".No matter what your .form- of government; I if the wealth of the country be r lie. DidHt ever occur to you that the people of the United Statesffe?:; are under a bonded debt they are in financial bondage or slavery Great Britain owns about two and one half billions of our bonds. It " through . bonds that - she was obtained possession of Egypt,, and; it is the policy she has adopted to gain possession of this country which she has twice failed to sub jugate through open warfare . W e heard a ' 'sound money ' ? . aa vbcate. the other day object o free silver because he said it would cause, foreign nations to dumb all their silver over here. Well what of that? They , have dumped" about every thing"else over here that they have got &Jb money, and we have no objection- . it tney aump a ntue silver. If that is all the objection have, Mr. Gold-bug, 3ve say us free silver and let the ' 'dump- 1 ing'' processDegm.
