Chandlerto be 8250,000* do so in the knowledge that if the republican party is restored to power laws will be enacted which will enable them to rob the masses byVcharging exorbitant prices. Under the swindling pretense of “protection heavy taxes will be imposed on all imported goods, thus giving the monopoly of the American market to the combines and trusts which control the production of so many kinds of goods. This will compel the 70,000,000 American consumers to pay more for a large portion of the things they buy and will make great fortunes for the fewmen who own the protected trusts.If, as the result of the free use of the money given for corrupt purposes, Maj. McKinley is nominated at St Louis, the campaign for his election will be simply a repetition on a T^uch larger scale of the disgraceful methods used to nominate him. Instead of 8250,000,at least $2,500,000 will be wrung out of the trusts and monopolies, under thepromise that it. and much more, will come back as soon as the laws can be twisted to suit those who put up the cash. A machine representing the interests of wealth will buy votes and debauch whole states. Hoodie will be king- and the fat-fryers will be his high priests. Instead of an election by the whole people the votes cast for McKinley will be the price of national dishonor. It ought to be clear to every American that the practices on which McKinley relies for his election are not only disgraceful, but are contrary to the letter and spirit of our republican institutions. For a small body of monopolists and trust millionaires to usurp the powers which properly belong to the whole people is treason pure and simple. Shall it go unrebuked by true Americans?FUNERAL SERVICES.BRUCE.The funeral of the late Robert (\ Bruce took place Sunday afternoon at the Christian church, there being a large number of friends of the deceased present to pay their last respects to his memory. The tioral offerings were very profuse and extremely beautiful, (it testimonials of the esteem in which the Ueeeas-ed was held by his many friends.The services at the church were incharge of Rev. Samuel B. Moore, D. I ., and were exceedingly impressive, while at the grave the members ofMatt Starr Post, (I. A. R., had charge of the ceremonies. Music was furnished by a choir of the church, and this part of the service was very beautif ul.Dr. Moore took as his text, Phil. 1:21: “For me to live in Christ, and die isHe said in connection with thectdittwlyaiftStIIhlt;tudidiSttharfeMgam.life of the deceased: “Brother Brucewas a man of mystic faith.

K. Kruce,of Mississippi,declares in a recent interview that “thesouth wants McKinley for president because he is a friend of the working man/ Of course he is a friend of the workingman. He sits up at night to weep over the sad condition of the poor men who are getting clothes too cheap; and to plan schemes for making them dearer again by putting heavy taxes on wool and woolen goods. His great heart is tilled with sorrow as he thinks of the hundreds of thousands of workmen who fh 1S93 and the first half of 1*91 were idle under the operation of the McKinley law, but who are now so busy in factories and mills that they have no time to read protection speeches. While as for the farmer,who is a pretty hard worker, McKinleyjust aches to show him how lie loves him by piling more taxes on him so that the protected trusts can rob him.Oh, ves. McKinley is the working-man’s friend. He is everybody’s friend. He just loves the millionaire who shells out his good dollars to buy votes with. His heart warms to the man who is willing to give now that he may be rewarded when the republicans get in power. The Ohio statesman is no narrow soul, limited in his affection to the horny-handed toilers. His capacity for friendliness is boundlessas the universe. Why should not McKinley love the workingman? Is he not a worker himself? Has he not been engaged these many years in working the gullible public? Is he not even now pulling wires, setting traps, laying pipes, fixing deals, and straddling issues? All this means work, and of course he sympathizes with his fellow*workers. ( ertainl v McKinley is the great, original and only professional friend of nil workingmen. W. (i.of controversy. He accepted the teach ingsof Jesus and his apostles without question. His unfeigned loyalty to the old pentecostal gospel was beautiful. Christ’s c-ommandment was supreme with him. At the risk of censure and even personal disadvantage he contended earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. He was a man of decided and pronounced convictions. Whatever he undertook to do he did with all his might. He was an intense believer. The revelation of the Gospel of the Son of God he ac cepted with all the intensity of his nature, for to him to live was Christ and his death was gain. 1 have said that he was an intense believer; not so much a believer in party as in the living oracles. The word of God was to him above all parties. As thatword preceded the church, so he exalt ed it above the church. 1 i«- believed in the fallibility of men, but in an in fallible book, lie loved all who loved the Bible and its Author.thnelbotinweoddiskleiSiiliknafrchliwtlejCQ1tilltolt;The services of the post at Diamond Grove cemetery-were very beautiful and impressive over their late comrade.
