Now sb** 1; hicky that the great quos tlon8 of governmental policy agitating tho entire country arc not sectional, but affect a'ike North, South, Hast and West. Tho financial policy of the country permeates all the land alike from Maine to Texas. Business meth ods are the same in New York, Boston and Savannah. Wall Street is but an other name for the moneyed power in this country?and the monoyed power is an unsocn power, invisible, but to bo felt whorovcr tho forms of modern civilization prevail. Tho trust, tho monopoly, rosulting upon consolidation of capital is the dangorous form that business takes on in those times by which tho woak aro swallowed up by tho strong and to combat theso tendon dos is tbo problem of tbo masses of mon and the times. Every form of business, every produetlvo trade or uyocatior. in thn world is affected.?

Mr. Wil son said that If Bryan goes in, the House will be controlled by populists, domocrats and silver republicans. On tho other hand, if McKinley is elected, tho gold republicans will control the House. In cither event tho Senate will bo for silver by about IOUI' ma jority. Tho Senate will prevent any tariff legislation by insisting as it did last winter upon a free silver amend mont which republicans will not ac cept. A very thorough organization of the silver forces Is progrcsssing in a business way in all the doubtful States.?Spartanburg l lerald. Well, it Is difficult to concolvo that Wilson talked this sort of stuff. If tho House be for silver it will bo for sil ver, no matter who is at tho other end of tho Avenue: If tho House is for gold it will stand for gold. Otherwise they must bo made of such stuff as dreams are made of.

Broad Street, Atlanta, Ga. MICN, who hohl the purse strings, often deprive women of articles of inestimable value. The wife pleads with her husband for a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential than the cigar and other luxuries in which he indulges. The daughter asks lather, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Docs any sane man not reli/.c this a reasonable right to plead and ask for? Reflect a minute! Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious hours employed in practice by wife and daughter, and of their glowing anticipations subsequently to be realized. Now, father, husband, or guardian, arc you going to blast all these bright anticipations by denying them of this merited right?simply the gift of a Piano or an Organ? ? Give your wives and daughters their merited rights in the home, v Inch is "Woman's Kingdom," then she will cease to clamor for politi ci.l suffrage.
