In 189H the battle is for the honest dollar, which means the preservation of national honor. The farmers of 1896 will fight for the right, as did those of the Revolution. There is the neat little sum of §35,- 000.000 a year in the Scheme for the owners of American silver mines if they can force free silver upon the country. With that sort of a prize to play for, it is no wonder that they are strongly in fa­ vor of Bryan for President. fisS^TEe Elgin Vourier says: "The next fight in this Congressional District will be on member of the State Board of Agriculture. There are three candidates, W. D. Stryker, of Kendall county; Edgar Bartlett, of DuPage county and A. S. Wright, of McHenry county. rr~ 1 RALLY FOB McKINLEY. The soldiers who went to -the front to preserve the Nation are once more sum­ moned by the call of duty, says the New York Ma.iL and Express. The Nation is in danger, and their votes are as neces­ sary now as were their rifles in. 1861. The Republican party has put forward candidates and a platform which every Union veteran should support, and also every confederate veteran who believes in maintaining unimpaired the honor and fair f&me of the Union, which, if profess­ ions are sincere, has no truer adherents then the men who fought for the lost cause, mnde memorable by their heroism and sacrifices. The Union, the Nation, is in peril. It would be worse than useless, it would be criminal blindness to deny it. The forces of disorder and anarchy are at work, di rected by able btit unscrupulous men and aided by a multitude of hoodwinked en thusiasts, who regard change as the remedy for every ill, and who look to free silver as the oriflamme of revolution. The veterans, with their sons,'form a very large percentage of the voting pop­ ulation. In some of the states they probably hold the balance of power, and in Iowa. Nebraska, Kansas ,and other western spates, where the soldier element is numerous and influential, the men who wore the blue ought to .be able to exert a strong if not aadeciaive influence in favor of their comrade, Major McKinley, as faithful and brave a soldier as ever faced confederate fire at, the front. Theiol- diers know McKinley; they know him to be true as steel to the Union; they know him to be incapable of thought, word or act adverse to the interests of the land he loves and in whose cause he risked hie life on the battlefields of the war. They know he is a leader'who may be followed with confidence, with honor, with pride; that every pledge he makes will be ful­ filled, and that he would make no pledge unworthy of the people or unworthy of himself. Now is the time for the veterans of the war to rally once more for the cause in which as young men they fought by the side of McKinley. The soldiers should be heard from in this campaign, and we doubt not they will be heard from, and that their patriotic vote in November will help to crown their immortal achieve­ ments of a generation ago.

The. old Pop hen died at St. Louis and the people in November will refuse to adopt the orphans. They, together with Anarchist Altgeld will be shipped to the Salt River market." t§?*Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, for many years a Democratic member of Congress from New York city says: "I shall give a patriotic vote for my comrade, Major McKinley, believing that in so doing 1 am repeating what I did in 1864, when, as a war Democrat, 1 voted for Lincoln and the Union." Buttenofferiugs on the Elgin Board of Trade on Monday was liberal, although the factories showed a decrease n the number of tubs. Fourteen cents was bid on the lots offered. The rains of the past week improved the pastures and no decrease in make in the Elgin district is looked for. Factory men were loth to accept 14c, buy buyers would not raise. Nearly all the sales were at 14c. Stocks are going down and gold is going out of the country or into hoard­ ing places under the threat of the Popu­ list-Democratic party to make silver the monetary standard of the country, to repudiate publie and private debts and put lawlessness above law. It is a time for every citizen who loves his country to enroll himself on the side of honesty and decency. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. Mr. William Jennings Bryan is the Demo-Pop nominee tor President by vir­ tue of a belief that he is an orator and specially by virtue of a belief that he made original and exclusive protest against crowning a suppositious men with thorns and crucifying him upon a cross of gold. Were the belief well grounded it ougLt not to work very greatly to the credit of Mr. Bryan, for the passage is at best a parody of sacred history and a some­ what irreverent ana very melodramatic travesty, by which the story of tLe piofoundest of all spiritual agonies is travestied to win applause of a political audience. Even were the "cross of gold' apostrophe a travesty conceived by Mr Bryan it would not stand the wear of e campaign, for it is not oratorical; it merely is eophomorical. But Mr. Bryan is not entitled to the pinchbeck crown of tinseled rhetoric A contemporary finds that Jan. 2Gth 1894, Mr. McCall of Massachusetts spoke thus in Congress. Do you regard your bill with reference to labor? Ready as you have ever been to betray it with a kiss, you scourge it to the very quick and press a crown of thorns upon its brow. You shall not crucify mankind on a cross of gold. This was in an argument against the Wilson bill. Mr. Bryan heard the speech and evidently afterward committed it to memory-. On the 9th of July, before the convention of Demo-I'ops in Chicag Mr. Bryan said: Having behind us the commercial i.. terests and the laboring interests and all the toiling masses, we shall answer thei demands for a gold standard by saying to them : ou shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. \ou shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold. This, as Constable Dogberry said, is " flat burglary. Such honor as accrues from the "cross of gold"/belongs to that staunch Republican, Samuel Walker Mc­ Call of Massachusetts, not to that man of uncertain politics, part Democrat, part Populist, part socialist, William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska --Iuter- Ocean. dF*Chairman Hanna, of the National Executive Committee has opened head quarters in the Chicago Auditorium building.

That is Repudiation. i he Chicago platform also demands a renewal of the attempt to impose an in­ come tax, a class tax levied against the accumulations of industry and thrift, confiscating the earnings and savings of the few for the benefit of the many. That is Robbery. Again, the Chicago platform threat ens the curtailment of the powers of the judiciary, the bulwark of life, property, and our institutions against the enemies of sOciety, and it likewise threatens to pack the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States in order that the pro­ jects of Populism1 may not be checked hereafter in that quarter. That is revolution. ' Mr. Bryan stands for all three, Repudi­ ation, Robbery and Revolution.
