When you cannot sleep for coughing, it is hardly necessary that any one should tell you that you need a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to allay Hit irritation of the throat, and make sleep possible. It is good. Try it. For tale by lllakeley, the druggist. i The American Kconomiat.l Fellow Win LiiitjmfH ! Ifmr Are Yotttluinj to Yvle! I do not suppose for a minuto that any intelligent laboring n.au is going to throw away his vote on any candidate who cannot get a single electoral vote, Either Bryan or McKinley will be elect ed and a vote for any one else is not only voto lost, but a vote against the man who will be elected. You have read the platforms of both parties and the letters of acceptance of both candidates. " You have read some of tlie pamphlets sent out by the com mittees. You have real and heard some of the speeches of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Roose velt, Mr. Hanna, Mr. Hill and others Now I want you to read and think over just a few sentences of plain talk from a workingman. I have made up my mind how I am going to vote and I want to ask you to vole the same way. I am not an orator nor a fcholar cannot make a speech nor write a mag azine article. I am just an ordinary everyday workingman with intelligence enough to have a little common senee and tell it to others. I am not writing this for pay. It will probably cost me a week' wages to get a few thousand printed. Then if Mr. Croker or Mr. Hanna want to circulate it they are welcome to It. Now as to what I am, how I am going to vote and why. I am a workingman with a wife and four children. Kight years ago, in 1892, I was doing fairly well, and my older boys were both at school. I voted, as did all good democrats, for Grover Cleveland. In less than six weeks after election, just before Christinas, I lost my job. I conld not get another. Things went from bad to worse. The boys left school and tried to earn a little money. We never Rot in the bum line at Madison square, but we did sometimes get near the bread line at Tenth street. I could not tell you all the hardships of thoee four years. Always behind in the rent and half tho time without anything to eat. The wife worked hard and the boys and I did anything to earn a dollar. It itemed sometimes as if we must give up, but the patient hopeful wife would say: "Cheer up, old man, you will get wotk soon and then we will be on our feet again." My men, have you got a good faithful wife? Have your children got a good, patient mother? Then you know what kept ns from absolute despair.'' Well, 1896 came and another election. With thousands of other democrats I voted for McKinley and hoped for a change. In less than a month I got a job, and have had work constantly these four years. The boys soon went back to school. I nm now getting $ 18 a week. One of my boys entered college last month ; another went to a preparatory school and will enter ollt'ge two years from now if I do not lose my job. My wife and I have plenty to eat and wear and we are happy, oh, so happy, to see out boys growing to be eduoated men. Fellow workingmen ! Do I need to tell you how I am going to vote? I don't exactly understand this ques tion of Imperialism, rxrept that I am for the Stars and Stripes, and I do not believe anybody can or wants to .make this country an empire. I know littln about the money ques tion, excopt that when I earn a dollar 1 want 100 cents, and when I lit a little money jn the bank I want to be sure of tflkinz out as much as I put in, with a little interest. I don't know much about the Tariff, except tint Free-Tiade would throw me and thousands of others out of a job, with no chance to get another. I don't know much about Government by Injunction, tho Consent of the Gov erned, Initiative and Referendum, etc., except that 1 believe in law and order and irood judges and honest courts. I I don't knov much about I he Income I Tax or Mini clpal Ownership or the Franchise Law. The boys will know all about theie questions an I I'll leave everything for them t settlp. I don't know any more r.orany less than yon do, fellow workingmen, but I do know this that, you and I and our wives and children were never so well ofTas we are today, and I believe we are going to be still better off or a great deal worse off after election. I haven't anything to lay against Mc- my older boys wijl soon have a complete education, and the mother audi will i never have to worry again. Fellow workingmen, you want better wages, don'l you? You want more than a mere existence. Well, you are not go ing to get it if wo have Free Silver, Free Trade and Free Soup. Why, we workingmen conld elect a president ourselves U we would. I-et rs staud togffther, let us earn all we can, let ns save all we can, let us read and study and learn all we can. We shall grow stronger and stronger every year. We can never gain anything through liryanisui. Let us get books and papers instead of pawn tickets. Let us give our boys an education, and the workingman of the future can think for hiniBelf. can make laws for himself, can elect bis own president. But this year we must choose between Bryan and Mckinlev. Every vote for Bryan is a vote for idleness and poverty Every vote for McKinley is a vote for employment and prosperity. The election of Bryan would throw the workingmin and his condition back to thaf of 1895. it l could make a speech I would go out on the corner and talk to every crowd I could get together. If I could write for the papers, I conld do so. But I will understand my simple sentences and I ask every workingman who reads this to vote for me and my job and my boys and my home, and I'll vote for you and vours. A. Rohixson.

The sun came out jnsi, after the Roosevelt special left Rochester, giving promise of a pleasant day. The first stop was made at Brock port. Here the governor said : Mr. Brvan invokes the declaration of independence as applying to the Philp pines. Nebraska was acquired by Thomas Jefferson without the consent of the Indians in it; and lie ought to have known how to apply the declara tion of independence because he wrote it. We cannot afford to let Mr. Bryan's principles and the present Bryanizad Democracy continue a formidable dan ger to American political life. I appeal to yen not merely to beat it, but to stamp it under foot, so that no similar appeal will ever he made in our time. While we can afford to differ on ques tions -of policy we cannot afford as good Americans, to differ on tho underlying principles the hick of which makes any party whatever it is a standing danger to tho country." At Holly it was raining. Nevertheless the governor spoke to a great crowd. He said : "We do not want to cut into the na tional honor by cutting in two the na tional debt. If Mr. Bryan's policies ever should be enacted into law they would bear with an especial weight of woe upon the very people concerning whom he affects to he most interested. Mr. Bryan speaks of polygamy in the Sulu Islands and says it ought to be stopped. Why, his proposal is to es tablish a protectorate over those islands, and therefore guarantees both slavery and polygamy in Sulu." Washington. Nov. 1. The alignment of the powers on the British-German agreement is now complete. Aside from Italy and Austria, whose adherence to tho agreement was expected owing to their political relations witti Germany, Japan is the orly on of the powers which has given oncondi'ional assent to the agreement. As the matter now stands, five of the powers are united in ail the terms of the agreement, vix: Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Austria and Japan; three of the powtrj, United States, France and Russia, accept the clauses relating the open door aud the territorial integrity of China, but with hold actiou on the third clause, relating to further procedure in case any power seizes territory. Neither the state department nor the Russian Embassy has received informa tion of Russia's answer although the As sociated Press, in its London dispatch, announced that the reply had been re ceived at the British foreign office, Oct. 30, and bad unreservedly accepted the first two clauses, In regard to the third clause, Russia referred two contracting parties to the Russian circular of April 25th, saying that she would modify her attitude according to circumstances. The effect of the exchange has been in bringing five of the powers to an agree ment to respect the "open dcor," and the integrity of China, and to consult among themselves as to n future course in case any of the other powers sought I to tako Chinese territory. These "other powers, as tne negotiations have now been shaped, are the United States France aud Russia. As to the United niaieu mere is no posBioility ot an initiative in taking teiritory, so that the terms of the third clause would appeal to France and Russia and would bring about concurrent action of the five powers in case either of these sought to extend their dnmuin in China.
