SEATTLE, WASH., AUGUST 22, 1896 FOR PRESIDENT WILLIAM McKINLEY Nuts for Laboring Men. While the products of the mints are always desirable, there can be no de nying the fact that its mills and not mints that will place the United States in a prosperous condition again, reason from whatever standpoint you will. If the laboring men of this country have any idea of supporting the Demo cratic party because it has a popular drawing card in which there is not a scintilla of reality, but a mere snare and delusion, the following figures ta ken from a report from a union trade journal as to the number of idle men now in this country, and especially the larger cities, may be of interest to them: ::In Boston 10,000 laborers are out of work; in Worcester 7,00 are un employed; in New Haven, 7,00; in Providence, 9,000; in New York city, 100,000; Utica is a small city, but the unemployed number 16,000: in Patter son, N. J., one-half the people are idle; in Philadelphia, 15,000; 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; 200,000 in Chica go; 25,00 in Detroit; 20,00 in Milwau kee; G,OOO in Minneapolis; Vicksburg, 1,000; St. Louis, 80,000; St. Joseph. 2,000; Omaha, 2,000; Butte City, Mont, 5,000; 15,000 in San Francisco. It was not the gold standard bugbear nor sound money maintenance, nor the free and unlimited 16 to 1 free coinage agitation that is responsible for so many idle men, but it was the crime of 1893, w Then a Democratic congress struck down not only half of our in dustries, but all of them. The indus trial smokestacks are not in use, and that accounts for so many idle men. The tampering and tinkering with the tariff has placed our goods in such a condition that we have no markets for them, and this chief of all has caused this great horde and army of idiers throughout the United States. Under such circumstances, certainly the labor ing men of this country cannot afford to support the Democratic party, who will continue the same ruinous free trade policy . McKinley has well said that it's better to open up the factories and mills rather than the mmts 4 _as_ the latteP^fefild be in the interest of a few, while the former will benefit the entire nation, and more especially the wage earners. Fawcett intimates that he will hold the office of mayor even if it takes armed force to do it. What anarchist could say more? He is now mayor through fraud and corruption and he proposes to continue through violence, the courts to the contrary notwith standing. Senator Squire, that's the way thinks are run in your new-found political Eldorado. The Haymarket riotprs. Altgeld, Tillman, Wait and Pennoyer have all had similar experi ences. If politics makes strange bed-fellows, will some one tell what kind of bed fellows fusion has made? Tim Healy is said to be on the rise politically in London. Weil, he would not be Tim Healy if he was not. Pat and Tim are always on the political rise, whether in London, America or anywhere else. The characteristic trait of all of Erin's sons is to get office and they get them. A woman has been named in Wyo ming as a McKinley elector. Hungry babies and idle husbands tramping day after day in search of work, which was not to be found, is proof positive to the women that McKinley, protection and sound money will restore the United States to its once prosperous state. It's the crime of 1893 and not 1873 that affects the women. "I believe it is a good deal better to open up the mills of the United States to the labor of America than to open up the mints of the United States to the silver of the world."—Maj. Mc- Kinley to his'old comrades. The labor ing men all over this country heartily agree with you, major. The coachman that found and re turned Mrs. Bryan's wedding ring may now think he has a cinch on pulling the White Hbttse ribbons next year, but if that eoabhman wants to be certain of a iob he had better find a McKinlej protection button and suport it next November. The city council of New Orleans has passed an ordinance prohibiting wo men from wearing hats to theaters in that city. If they will now pass a law compelling them to wear dresses when they go to theaters instead of bloomers New Orleans would have a model council. The Inter Ocean says: Police have troubles, too, in the Windy City." That must mean that somebody woke up a sleeping cop to arrest a burglar. Eg - - ' - . ' .' v~* Hnie of « B Pop u^B \ th^ro^HS3BwlH» the PaWefs'^AllianceL which beg??? in a way in Texas in 1879, and reached 1,000, members ten years later. i This body and several agricultural and in- ! dustrial bodies, met in St. Louis'' seven \ years ago, and the result of the confer ences and organizations and discussions ' was t#s People's party, which "was for mally launched by 1,347 delegates in Omaha on the 4th of July, 1892. The ticket nominated was James B. Weaver of lowa, and James G. Field of Vir ginia,, and it; received 1,041,028 votes, carrying the states of Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada and North Dakota, with their twenty-two electoral votes. In addition, the party elected five Uni ted States senators and eleven repre sentatives. :In the states we have named the-Democrats ran/ no electoral tickets, but threw their strength to the Populists, little dreaming that four years, later the Populists would capture their party organization and dictate its tipket. —Baltimore American. Crime of 1893 vs. Crime of 1873. j Did the codification of coinage laws in 1873 produce the panic of 1893? Was not the panic of 1893 the result of Dem ocratic triumph in 1892? Was not the fear of what the Democrats would do more than realized? Were not the good times under the McKinley law succeeded by hard times under a Demo cratic law? ; The people want to . hear from Mr. Bryan on this point. . He has rung the changes on»the silver question and has said nothing new in the last six weeks. Here is a subject that will be compara tively new to him. Is he afraid of it? Is he afraid to answer questions as to tariff legislation which he promised the people, would,do so much for them? The people know all that Mr. Bryan knows on the silver question. They would ' like to know how much he knows about the real causes of the present troubles. They charge him with being a party to "the crime of 1894," and they are ready to submit the evidence. Why does he evade the issue? —Inter Ocean. Seventy-Six is wrong when it al leges that Judge McGilvra is not with the people. The judge tried to make people out of the Seventy-Six gang, but finding it impossible he gave it up in utter disgust and is only too glad to get back among the ferae people. Six colored men styling themselves the National Democratic League met in Chicago and indorsed Bryan and his party. What a pity they did not endorse. the burning of colored men at the stake for . alleged crimes while they "*'v'"nrtrrth~e endorsing business. r""^'*"-' 1 ; ——^——^—^ / The ■ Republican party^pgakers hav ing been successful ill convincing Herr Most that it was best to be a true and loyal American citizen they still live in hope of convincing Nominee Bryan of the error of his way ere the close of the present campaign. A white man outraged a 5-year-old white child in Mobile, Ala., a few days ago and did not pass himself off as a Negro. Raping children must be be coming popular in that section when white men refuse to shift the crime on to some Negro. The Tacoma Sun (Popocrat), speak ing of "Our Flag," undoubtedly mean ing the one that Altgeld presented to Bryan. May this nation be spared the humiliating disgrace of ever having to call the red flag of anarchism "our flag-" There were . a good many silver "wheels" coined in Ellensburg last week, but we venture the assertion that the Squire wheels brought on from New York were in much greater demand than the Popocrat political wheels. At a political convention down in Indian territory the other day two men were killed as a result of a bitter fight over nominations. Death to white men seems preferable to losing the hope of getting an office. If Charlie Fishback stands in the middle of the road holding a Bryan- Altgeld-anarchistic flag expecting "principle" to come that way, he will be sadly left. "Principle" does not keep that kind of company. A paper edited in the interest of women asks: "Up to the present time what has man done that woman could not do?" Why, madam, struck a prosperous nation with Democratic rule and killed it. The Christians are reported leaving Candia, in Crete, in large numbers. Being murdered by the Turks, how ever, seems to be the principal way they are leaving. If Senator Squire intends to buy up the entire legislature, as it is now cur rently reported, he will better increase his recent $43,000 loan to a $143,000. There is not much doubt but the in dustries of this country will be totally destroyed should a Bryan frost fall November 3 in any great quantities. Last Sunday was not much of a day of rest in and about the city of New York inasmuch as there were 600 fun erals in the city during the day. Woman Suffrage in AusS§[[ia. Some interesting details are given in the Australasian/ Review of: Reviews concerning the recent general elections in South Australia. The occasion was the first time that : women there exer cised the franchise, and, if any doubt existed as t*> whether women them selves desu^d to be clothed with the i functions of a complete citizenship, the ballot box^s were a final answer to that doubt. The rolls included 77,464 mal*va.iults and 59,066 women voters; the act of voting for South Australian women was, of course, new and strange, yet they voted in solid bat talions and, as the small number of in formal votes showed, with signal intel ligence; and the percentage of voting among women voters was quite as high 'as that of the stronger sex. The women of South 'Australia, in a word, take the franchise quite seriously. Gen. Sickles to G. A. R. Men. Gen. Sickles says:. "The title of I American is dearer than that of Re publican or Democrat, and is alone worthy of true men in emergencies like those of 1861 and 1896. "It seems if ever there was a time when the veterans of the late war should stand shoulder to shoulder, re gardless of parties, it is now. The plat form adopted at Chicago is in many re spects unsafe and unpatriotic. It is a stab at organized government, and bor ders so strongly on anarchy as to cause all good citizens to pause and think: ■ What are we coming to when a promi nent party. will endorse such princi ples? lam heartily in favor of any or ganization that will assist in defeating such a monstrosity called a 'declara tion of principles.' " 1 ■ The "devil" ran the Pomeroy Inde -1 pendent last week while the editor went to the mongrel convention at El lensburg. It seemes that he (the devil) must have taken a convention lay-off also, for it was reported that the devil was much in evidence during the ses sions of the political abortion in Ellens burg. If Mrs. Lease is correct in declaring that Candidate Bryan has always been a Populist, one can readily account for him advising that "the sword and torch be applied to the cities, that the country folk might be masters of the situation." The "black plague" has again broken out in a very violent form in Hong kong, China. The United States can sympathize with the celestial land, ow ing to the fact that the Populist plague is now raging among her citizens. . . "Dem-Silly-Fool party" is suggested by the P.-I. as a name for the political brought" forth at Ellensburg :last week. Change: the c to an a in the first word, and v you will be pretty near correct. ' If reports are true Senator Squire worshipped the golden calf until he se cured a $50,000 loan. This accomplish ed, he fell to kicking and abusing his beneficiaries. Such men won't do to tie to. A ( dispatch from Washington, D. C, says the "Free silverites are at sea." They may be at sea now, but it looks as if the next place you hear of them being will be in an insane asylum. Democratic Chairman Jones wants the Populists to keep still. Well, if they did they would not be Populists, Mr. Jones. It's the noise out of their mouths that makes them Pops. :, ; ■ Chicago is asking what will it do for Li Hung Chang. If Tacoma could just be Chicago for a few moments after Li Hung Chang got there — "it wouldn't do a thing to him." Dr. Nansen has returned without reaching the north pole. It's the same old story; he would have done so, but— The dog might have caught the rabbit, —he didn't. Notwithstanding the immense bodies of water surrouding Chicago the mem bers of the late Democratic convention found it difficult in many instances to get a '.'drink." Candidate Bryan's cousin, a life-long Democrat, declares ho cannot support the "boy." Squawking children are not wanted in public office, even by their own relations. . . Davey Hill's silence- is still golden. Davey is undoubtedly having a hard struggle between duty and ambition, and it looks as if the latter will triumph. -> There may be money used in Han na's McKinley campaign, but wind and jawbone are the chief ingredients of the Bryan Popocrat campaign. . - Last Sunday proved a field day for aeronauts.

Kittitas county, with its eight delegates, has endorsed Eugene T. Wilson for gover nor. , Thurston county wants gubernatorial honors, so it asks that J. 08. Scobey be nominated for governor. Scott Swetland, chairman of the state Republican committee, •will call the con vention to order. He is a candidate for. re-election. Snohomish county has never had a state officer. It is now urging the claims of A. W. Frater with its twenty delegates. Pierce county will have 45 votes in the convention and wall vote as a unit. It endorses P. C. 'Sullivan for governor and W. H. Doolittle for congress. Spokane county will probably not ask only for H. W. Tyler for secretary of state and Samuel C. Hyde for congress. It has 33 delegates. There will be six colored delegates in the convention this year. There were 15 two years ago. Elisha P. Ferry and John H. McGraw were the state's first and second gover nors. King, Pierce and Spokane will cast 139 votes, and if united will only lack 79 of nominating any candidate they desire. If Mr. Sullivan is nominated Pierce county will be certain to get the next gov ernor of the state, as both candidates will be from that county. King county has 61 votes in the conven tion. They will vote as a unit. It has no candidate for governor. WESTERN WOMEN'S W. C. T. U. Still Making Good Head way—Mrs. Thome's Report. The Harpers W. C. T.

Miss Emma Page, our tireless worker in the Mercy department of our state W. C. T. IT., has been honored (and our state W. C. T. U. honored also) by her having a place on the programme of each session of the . Pierce County Teachers' Institute, held in Tacoma, in which to uphold and instruct in the teaching of "Scientific Temperance" and "Mercy," both of which form a part in the school curriculum of our state. Many experiments were given showing the presence of alcohol in many of the common medicines found in nearly ev ery household: She has been working very hard of late getting her text book on "Mercy" ready for the publishers. The teachers generally showed great interest in her talks and experiments, and her text book will not doubt find ready sale. She and her sister, Mrs. Whitham, were entertained by Mrs. Shorthill and Mrs. Shaffer while in Tacoma. The Puyallup W. C. T.

Last week I cleared, after paying all ex penses, $355.85, the month previous $260, and have at the same time attended to other duties. I believe any energetic per son can do •aua'b- as Mvta. as I have had very little experience. The Dish Washer is just lovely, and e\eiy family wants one, which makes selling very easy. I do no canvassing. People hear about the Dish Washer and come or send for me. It is strange that a good, cheap Dish Washer has never before been put on the market. The Mound City Dish Washer fills this bill. With it you can wash and dry the dishes for a family of ten in two minutes without wetting your hands. A»3 soon as people see the Washsr work they want one. You can make more money am" make it quicker than with any house hold article on the market. I feel con \inced that any lady or gentleman can make from $10 to $14 per day around home. You can get full particulars by addressing The Mound City Dish Washer Co., St. Louis, Mo.
