, The Buttons of the Day. 1 Many of the new buttons azro square in form, with a center stonie and the square of other stones, the four corners being sapphires or rubies and the; oth­ ers brilliants. Again, the center may be mosaic, with a painting of some tiny flower,such«6 -arose,ahjeaTt's-ease7 a violet, or a forget-me-not. Such cen­ ter paintings also appear in the large- cized round buttons. The flowers, al­ though small, are charmingly realistic. Large metal buttons, frequently quite gigantic, sport jeweled centers, and those of celluloid have gold centers. The colorings of the celluloid aire especially good and in gneatvaaitety. >_/ I O W E N t WEDNESDAY, NOV. 18, 1896, -- --man West McHenry, III, On the Elgin Board of Trade, Mon­ day, the Butter Market opened with moderate offerings, Bids of 20c placed ae fast as offered. There was a conserv ative disposition all along the line. Factory men were deposed to believe 20c high enough, even with decreased make. 7' DOUBLE ACTING FORCE PUMP.

Fa Y MOLINE PUMP CO., Moline, Ills, (SUCCESSORS TO PERKY & OWEN.) tST'The New York World prints a table showing that, since election factor­ ies have re-opened or increased their force of workmen, giving employment to 165,000 men, and believes that within a month a million men will have a million jobs. Is not that a good start for prosperity. ' The tide of prosperity has already set in. Mills that have been closed for months are already running, and the sign.- "Mien Wanted," is a common sign in the great cities. Confidence is re­ stored and money seeks employment. The tide will continue to rise--not sud­ denly, not a boom--but rise steadily, and with the incoming of a new administra­ tion, and the reforms that must follow, prosperity in all branches of industry will surely, ensue. Don't expect too much at once;, be patient, be hopeful, be cheerful, "there's a better time a-com- ing." So says an exchange. 19* The mills are opening. Business is reviving. Confidence has been restoredj and orders are no longer withheld or made conditional on the success of Sound Money. The people have settled that matter, and settled it right. Workmen are finding employment. The merchants feel the impetus, for when wage earners are employed the wages received are spent in the stores, and money circulates freely through all the channels of trade. McKinley is elected. The effect inevit­ ably follows th#* cause. Manufacturers are in good humor and their employees equally so. I®"The New York Iribune says: "Honor to whom honor iB due." It was Qi in chiefest measure a Republican victory. The leader of the campaign was a Repub­ lican statesman. The bulk of the army which followed him and overwhelmed the Repudiation-Anarchist conspirators was composed of Republicans, The platform was Republican. The principles that triumphed were Republican. From be beginnin&to e^d the Grand Old Party stood like avrock, unwavering and in­ domitable, for its own grand old princi­ ples of honest money and stable govern­ ment. Honor to the Republican party, for the second time the savior of the Nation! But let not the loyal patriotic allies be forgotten. Alone against all foes the Republican party would have won. But it would have been a narrow victory, a mere party victory. The hon- eBt money Democrats have made it an overwhelming victory, a victory of the Nation. They did noble work. Tney showed that they were Americans before they were Democrats. They gave the Republicans aid and comfort. They car­ ried consternation and despair into the Popocratic ranks. They swung a mighty vote from the side of treason to the side of patriotism. Republicans have fought them in the past, and may have to fight some of them in the future, on minor issues. On the one supreme issue they have marched side by side, elbow to elbow, "keeping step to the music of the Union." Honor to the Sound Money Democrats who cast aside old party ties lor the sake oIfheFafherland,and voted for McKinley. McKlNiEY'S GREAT MAJORITY- Wm. McKinley will go into th£ presi­ dential offise backed by the greatest ma­ jority of the popular vote ever obtained^ by an American president. - Grant's plurality of 762,991 votes in 1872 was the greatest known in American history up to Nov. 3, 1896. . McKinley's plural-" ity at the polls goes far beyond these imposing figures. It will not fall short of 1,000,000 votes. It may reach 1,100- 000 votes. Never before in the annals of this republfc have the American people pronounced with such overwhelming em­ phasis for any candidate or any policy. •In 1864, when Abraham Lincoln was the nominee, when the civil war was at its height and when every ballot waft cast directly for or against the preserva­ tion of the Union, the Republican plural­ ity was only 407,342. This year, with every, ex-Confederate state restored to politicW-feTfoWehip and voting for Bryan McKinley's.plurality is more than twice as great as Lincoln's. These figures carry their own lesson. They show that no previous isnue--not even the salvation of the Union itself-- has aroused the conscience and patriot­ ism of the American people more thor­ oughly than the question of repudiation and the threat of Anarchy. Bryan's traitorous appeal to sectionalism and his attempt to stir up the classes against each other are rebuked as.sternly as his propositions to cut the value of the dol­ lar in two and surrender the authority of the Federal government to the dicta­ tion of the mob. There is no "enemy's country" in the United States. Illinois plurality of 150,000 for national honor is answered by New York's unprecedented majority of 270,000. New England'6 superb rally for the flag is imitated by Maryland, by Delaware and by West Virginia. New Jersey's record breaking uprising for public honesty meets with an earnest response in California and Oregon. The northwest and the impor­ tant states of the middle west join with the Atlantic seaboard in condemning the policy of repudiation, riot and ruin. Whh McKinley elected to the presi­ dency by an unexampled popular vote, with both branches of congress domin­ ated by the champions of honest money and with the Federal judiciary elevated above doubt and danger, the outlook for the future is full of encouragement. The marked rise in the value of American securities and the radical change in the attitude of European investors, show how promptly the business,,world, both at home and abroad, has grasped the significance of the election. There is substantial and amole ground for this confidence the nominal States. They have been temporarily suspended by foolish attacks upon the protective system'and by a most reck-1 less and diabolical raid against the hon­ esty of American currency and the su­ premacy of law. These perils no longer exist. A return to protection for domes­ tic industries is certain under President McKinley. The people themselves have | smashed the repudiators and trampled down the Anarchists. Capital has no I further cause for timidity. Foreign in-1 vestors need fear to trust us no longer. This nation is planted firmly on the gold standard. The capitalist who invests a dollar will get his dollar back again. American honor is henceforth not to be doubted by any man.

The Lambertville Rubber Co. have the words " Snag Proof " copyrighted, therefor^, the other man­ ufacturers cannot use these words, but put their goods on the market undernames very similar, such as 'Non-Snag,' j 'No Snag,' 'Can't Snag,' and many others.
