'Working Man and a Republican."
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.

Snyder County Always Right.
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.

Our MilHiu county brother must
not class tlio intelligent citizens of
Snyder county with the rampant
populists and anarchists ut tho Chi

the tra in dollar experience nor tho
depreciated currency of war time- .
Snyder county is always right ou

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."

their pi evidential candidate that
their action will produce a panic if

life and its varied opportunities.)
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.
