A correspondent who differs with us on the money question writes : I have no ill feelings at all against you, but understand, I am a work- ingman. so was your father. I am ilso a republican." Surely this is no argument in fa vor of free silver. Three-fourths of the readers of the Middleburg Post are working men. We dare not shut our eyes against tho truth and allow a freo silver heresy to drive us to national doom. It i our purpose to save our work ing mou and our oppressed farmers from fulling in with a movement that can only assist tho silver mine owners. If tho farmers of this coun try could get a movomefit started to sell 5:1 cents north of wheat and get a dollar for it, our farmers would prosper, but they tan rest assured tho silver owners would not endorso the movement. The laboring class ot peoplo are depressed aud the Post stands for anything that will enhance the inter ests of tho laboring man, but we are suro our readers can seo that a law that will civo the mine owners 1H) cents for 5:1 cents worth of product will be a burden on tho government that wo must all help to bear and who gets the profit T Tho mine own er. When labor is depressed as it is now, it is easier to ruako it appear that tho money question is at fault Why cry more money? Millions of dollars are lying idlo and begging fr borrowers at and 4 per cent. hy can't we get it ? you ask. That is the question. Do vou suppose that man who takes his silver to the mint and gets his profit is going to divido with you and mo ? Tho idea that, a work ing man should bo for tho freo aud unlimited coinage of silver is simply preposterous. Tho laboring men are the hopo of this country and if we did not defend them and guard them against the snares and delu sions (if those who would lure them to ruin, wo would feel ourselves guilty of negligence and they would learn when it is too lato that they had been entrapped. There are now a smaller number of believers in the free silver movement than there were GO days ago and at the time of tho election the number will bo still more diminished. discourage yourself by attempting a sudden assault upon name, and fame and success. To reach Lake Erie from Lake Ontario only a fool would attempt to row up the Falls of Ni agara i the wise man with similar in tent would go through the Wetland Canal and reap the reward of his wisdom. There are certain se quences of Nature which you can not abbreviate. The egg antedates tho hen (in our day at least), tho acorn grows into tho oak by unnotic ed transitions, a good foundation is an absolute necessity to a stately building, patient effort goes before success. You cannot be a great lawyer unless you are willing to be a thorough student, nor a great musician unless you will bo a patient practiser, nor a good minister with out going through deep and humili ating soul-experiences ; nor, in fact o great anything, unless great is your faith, and unless your works overtop in volume even your faith. In short there is no laudablo am bition of nny noteworthy height that can bo reached ut one leap to wish it so, is to bo lazy and out of sorts with thin work-a-day world. Fur thermore, heights that are unattain able by sudden assaults aro attain able by tlio strategy of patient and well-directed effort, which in itself is a solace as you go your way. Station 1).

Tho Mi Id',. -burg Post has had a visitor f; j.a West Perry township who "thinks that McKinley will have moro of a majority than tho total of all the votes that Bryan, will get." Later on if ho investigates a little he will tind the free silver sentiment growing so rapidly that even Snyder county may be considered doubtful. fttfi 'stmrn Si lit I III I. Our MilHiu county brother must not class tlio intelligent citizens of Snyder county with the rampant populists and anarchists ut tho Chi cago and St. Jjjuis conventions. The people of Snyder county want good dollars. They have not forgotten the tra in dollar experience nor tho depreciated currency of war time- . Snyder county is always right ou the national question Bryan Admits a Panic. Mr. Bryan declared a short time ago that the freo and unlimited coin ago of silver at this time would pro duco a panic. He made this state ment in Ackley, Iowa, but a short timo since, in answer to a question put to him by a prominent merchant of thrt place during a lecturo Mr. Bryan delivered there on tho sub ject of free coinago of tho white metal. Mr. Pleasants, tho merchaut referred to asked tho lecturer this question : "Mr. Bryan, will tho adoption of freo coinage of silver at tho ratio of 10 to 1 cause a business depression and panic, as Secretary Carlisle aud other great financiers predict .'' Mr. Bryan answered promptly as follows : "Ves, iu my opinion, it would have that ten dency. But if a man is sick thcro is no use putting off giving him his medicine and letting him get worse. I think it will cause a panic. But tho country is in a deplorable con dition, and it will tako extreme measures to restore it to a condition of prosperity." Those voting lor Bryan and freo silver arc given to understand by their pi evidential candidate that their action will produce a panic if thoy win.

The surest way to be miserable is to yearn for what we cannot have ; tho surest way to some degree of satisfaction in life, is to do tho duty nearest at hand and do it well. Many of us aro too much like tho naughty child who cried for tho moon's re flection in tho bath-tub ; we set our affections on things abovo our reach and then drop back peevishly to be a burden to ourselves aud a nuisance to those who deserve our smiles rather than our grumblings. We beat our hands to pieces aud break our hearts against tho adamantine walls of tho unattainables wo look at some distant pinnacle of ambition and wo shriek out in anxious agony "Mountain, be thou brought nigh !" and it moves not ; we neglect the glorious opportunities of the pres ent and dream of some golden fu ture that is to como to us somehow (wo do not stop to think how) aud wo awako to find tho present gone and the future good as much in the clouds as ever. Then turn tho milk of human kindness to a curd within us and we amount to nothing, tho salt has lost its savor, tho tiro of purpose dies out i wo are thence forth fit for naught but to associate with bats and blind mon ; for wo aro blind, aud. worse yet, we know it not. THE TURN OF LIFE. THE MOST CRITICAL PERIOD IN THE LIFE OF A WOMAN. Eiperlenc of Mr. Loug KrUj, of Patchog-aa, Inland.

TllK heme for the unlimited coinage of 60 cent nilver is wholly opposed to math emnties, loftlc and morality. Tom Watsos Is going Into drenmsftnd allegory for rnnip.ilgn ammunition. Thli Is easier and cheaper than arguments. With patriots like Speaker ttocd on the tump In Maine the old greenbnekeri ot 1880 will make no hcadwny with cheap money this year.

Tn AT Amerlean citizens should ever have been forced to organize for the retention of honest money will seem Incredible to tho next generation. Hut tho demon of dishonesty Is getting In his work, and tho only thing to do Is to fight him to a flulsh. So long as the domnin of America ex tends from tho rhorrs of tho Atlantic to the shores of tho I'nclflc, from tho Icy wa ters of tho hikes to tho tepid waters of the gulf, our turilT liollcy, to bo truly Ameri can, must be truly protective. Tnrt platform of Chicago Is a direct de parture from the lieaten path of tho Dem ocratic party, and while It will go Is-foro tho country and appeal for votes In that honored name, tho great American tieoplo will recognize the dlfTerenro between tho motley and the genuine, and tho freo sil ver heresy will receive n joyful November burial Washington Times. TnK fact that the. value of foreign goods remaining in warehouse was tll,Heo,ee0 more last March than in March, IWiS, Is evidence of the Impoverished condition of our people, who aro unable to purchase freely, even of the "cheap" foreign goods that are nwnltlng them. Perhaps free trade theorists will begin to understand that less work in our mllUt means a lighter purchasing power m the part of our peoplo. We are a continent, not an Island; our resources are plural, not singular.
