He is a defer speaker and much less provoking "than Mr. Walter Henry. We think -though he ia too pessimistic. He 'brings up statistics and manipulates them bo as to make conditions much worse than they are. For instance farming land after the war did rise as he said and it kept rising steadily and many ventured to go in ! debt for land at an abnormal price. it rose too high, and met the, depress ing results of the protective tariff and the growing pension burden; It is natural that it should decline at even pace with legislative abuse. But yet if you have the money you 'Can't get land easily. And there -are some who are buying and pay ing for their land every year and .getting out of debt. Mr. Thompson thinks too that the farmer 8 children are growing np without mot. It is a education. We think notable fact that the harder the times the more solicit. oua parents are for the education of tueir ennuren, ana ccnoaii are rather fuller f when times are : close than wnen great financial prosperity prevail?, When parents ee -they can't leave much estate to ; their children they strive the harder to give them au education. Hence the schools this fall are .unusually fall and prosperous. Some of the very farmers he wai talking -to Tuesday were not half as poor as nis picture made them. They a; e their farms, stock, etc. just as secure as can be and their children were in' schools while Mr. Thompson was seeing thorn in hid rUfitftrtpd vision crrowioff .uw a !. & ing sold, to great land barons.: If Mr. Thompson's picture has a counter part it is hardly in Cabar rus.. " -i: , ' There are few of them that we would charge with being in ' the condition he represented them to be in. The funniest thing of all was in Mr. Thompson's drawing his pic tores in darkest colors i and then asking if it was not enough to make a man join the Populists. Did he mean that Populism is a cure all. or that it is an association for the gloomy? ' 1)', We admit that conditions are far below what we wish them to be,, therefore we are in the Democratic ranks doing all we can to make them better. We fully believe Re publican rule is responsible for much of our troubles and therefore relief from there is not to bp expected. Populism lacks the power to do anything alone. Democracy does work with her mipht to correct evils. Had Saniuel J Tilden been seated as he was elected in 1876, tariff and pension reform would probably have checked the rising current and Americans would not have learned to hang themselves on the government. Had General Har rison left the finances in as good condition as Mr. Cleveland turned them over to him we 'think nothing would have been heard of selling bonds and most of us would yet be ignorant of what the gold reserve is. Mr. Thompson, like most of our opponents, says we had our own sweet way when . Cleveland was elected the second time. But in this they are not fair. The lower house acted promptly in every moasure of reform. The people had given it a working majority. The Senate was Democratic by only a small margin. The two Louisiana Senators knew their people had learned to want protection or bounty on sugar. Senator Hill .stoutly j opdosed the income tax. Smith, of Mew Jer sey, and Gorman, Of Maryland, were not free from some notion hard to explain and they hindered. The Senate did not have a : working ma jority so that the Wilson tariff bill is not what it was intended to be. That was not a fair test of Democ racy. Now we think if Mr. Thomp son will look at the situation with fair mindedness, he will find Democo racy-did all that the people gave her a chance to do. A bare majority is one thing, a worKing majority is another. ' - r It seems to do much in holding the other parties together to be able to say unfair things of the Demo cratic party but it is the only source from which relief can be. expected and it can give none while it is but half supported and sustained. Agi tators may keep up a division among us and then make great speeches full of calamity, but just 30 long are they, hindering progress in the direction ol relief. ; Belief, too, must come by a steady, constant, patient perse verence. Our evils have been coming, on steadily, they will have to be counteracted the came way. BRTAS'S nECORPBREAKlNO CAB While he was in North Oarolir a the Observer remarked upon the amazing; versatility of Mr. Bryat . The Columbia State f lays stress on his record-breaking campaign. 1 says :i ?A daily summary0 of Mr Bryan's campaign work is made b the New York World. Up tcrand including Friday the record stood : Number of speeches delivered, 226; Cities and n towns r spoken in, 189; States spoken in, 24; miles traveled since his nomination 9,006; number of words spoken on the stump (et- I.- J CAO ff. miles traveled bv oil nthcr I amnAMt R . C&nClia&ttS since I860, 6,196; number of speeches delivered by all other can didates, 166. The speeches i indi cated are real speeches not the brief utterances at way-stationer of til WVMW UJUV""'"' , which there must have been one? or two -thousand." v - The State continues to wehder at aad admire the power and achieve ment of this young Westerner, as follows : 1 It is a very remarkable record as to quantity, and still more remarks aole as to quality. While parts of his arguments from the very nature of the case, have had to be repeated, have been alike. In each one of them there was strong, original thought most aptly expressed. With a nnfmtVi nf ih& n.Aonrwiirn "Vflt to rnn I v. - v r -0- J Mr. Bryan has already, surpassed in the number of miles traveled, the number of States covered, the nuin- oer ot towns spoKen in ana cue number of speeches delivered, the combined totals of all other oresi- dential candidates. And we may add that the enthusiasm he has aroused and the number of hearers he has attracted have been without counterpart. c The fact that Mr. Brvan has been able to do all this without, a sign of physical collapse adds to the re - the wonder grows when we hear him sav that he is to continue his strem uoup, intense campaign until the day before; the electionCharlotte Observer. : : : . : I Our Fs and.... .Other Eyes. . Our I's are just as strong as they were fifty years ago, when have cause to use them. But we have less and less cause to praise ourselves, since others do the praising, and we are more than willing for you to see us through other eyes. This is how we look to S. F. Boyce, wholesale and retail druggist, Duluth, Minn, who after a quarter of a century of obser vation writes: "I have sold Ayer 's Sarsapa rilla for more than 5 years, both at wholesale and retail, and have never heard anything but words of praise from my customers ; not a single com plaint has ever reached me. I believe Ayer's Sarsaparilla to be the best blood purifier, that has been introduced to the gen eral public." This, from a man who has sold thousands of dozens of Ayer's. Sarsaparilla, is strong testimony. But it only echoes popular sentiment the world over, which, has, 'Nothing but words of praise for Ayer's Sarsaparilla.' - ' . JLny doxibt about it?
