A DEN OF THIEVES BROKEN UP

During the last summer and fall, a
number of burglaries and thsfts have
been committed in this city, and in the
villages around us-some Of them of a
daring character, and all without the
least trace Of suspicion of the thieves.
Discoveries, however, wero recently
made, which has led to the route of u
gang Of accomplished scoundrels.
Some three or four families residing on
Alum creek, about six miles from this
city, excited the 81 spicion of their neigh
burS, by having rather an unusual quantity
ofgoods about them. These suspicious
we're made known; and accordingly, on
Thursday last, several of our police Off
GERS went to search the premises, and
found the suspicious Of their neighbors
but too true. Large quantities of stolen
goods were diseovered-.among them were
goods belonging to Messrs. Harper u
Co, ofHavana, whose stOre was broken
open on the 18th ult.; also goods belong
ing to Mr.. Seymour of Licking county,
whose store was likewise robbed. A
quantity of goods belonging TO Mr.. Sala,
Of Greencastle, Ind, who was robbed in
Franklinton last fall. were found. Two
boxes Of the Revised Laws on their way
North, were broken open at Werthington,
aud copy taken out Of each box. These
we're found among the stolen goods
One of them had the name Of rs. Ben
son, Counsel at LdD," written in it,
Benson is one of the gang.
On Saturday last further search was
made aud additional goods fOund-com'
Prising store goods Of various kinds
EaOug has been discovered to show that
most extensive system of thieving has
been carried on BY these scoundrels some
of whom, We understand, were engaged
impeding!
Three Of the gang by the names o.
Coles, Bliss, and John WelIS, have been
arrested. Two of them were taken tc
Licking county, ani the third gave bail
Benson is still at large. We trust that nc
effort will be spared to apprshend the
whole of these rasclls and bring them to
punishnent.-O. S. Jour.

But the subject may DO presented III
stronger light. Take US man Tor man
and we are the richest people IN the
world with the exception Of the English
the Hollanders and the Belgians. Where
the natural order of cause aud effect Is
not inverted, the richer county, lne
greater in proportion TO population VIII
Be the amount of gold and silver that will
flow into it. If days labor IN America
will produce bushe of wheSt,snd in PO-
land ouly one tenth of bushel, it is evil
dent that America must have a much
greater amount than Poland Of surplus
produce wherewith to purchase the pre-
cious metals, or whatever else may be de-
sired. 1t is not too much 10 say, that If
the neutral laws had not been interfered
with the United States would have, IN
proportion to population, four, FIVE, six,
yea, eight times as much gold and silver
as many of the countries Of Europe
Take il at only double Of the average for
the two continents, aud t will amount to
thirty dollars a head, or to five hundred
and fourteen millions. This would give
US ons-ninth part OF the stock ofgold and
silver in America, while our population is
but One.sixteenth; but for the reasons
already stated, under a natural order Of
things, we should have man for man, a
much larger portion Of the precious met
ais, than falls to the lot Of most countries
Of Europe.
Suppose, however, we had but the av-
erage of sixteen dollars a head. This
would amount TO two hundred and fifty
seven millions.
On two points do people (that is, some
people) capitally err. First in regard to
the quantity Of gold and silver in the
world. This is much greater than they
imagined it to be. Next in regard to
the amount required for commercial Pur-
poses. This is much smaller than they
suppose it to be. Under sound money
sound credit and sound banking system,
ten dollars ahead would probably be am
ply sufficient in the United States.

BANKS es. THE PEOPLE The Detroit
Advertiser says, ''while the people have
been suffering shave Of from IL to so
DER cent the Banks have been growing
fat. As an illustration; our own Bank
Of ofMichigan, in 1899, owed the United
States some $sO,OOO. AS the best mode
of paying this debt, suspension was
sought, and by Misrepresentation, OBJ
tanned from the Legislature. Under this
suspension the Bank increased its circu-
lation some one hundred and fifty to two
hundred thousand dollars, xiih which
-four and pork was purchased. This was
sent 10 New York, and from its proceeds
the Bank paid off its debt 10 the United
States, and then broke dOwn--leaving this
increased circulation upon the hands oI
the people,"

cling the power of The State in tbs hands of the
Democratic party from which it had been Wrest-
ed by ''pipe laying" and hard cider debauches.
We feel great assurances that the democratic
members elected will not dsappont the hopes
ofthe people. The Banks must now resume or

away with even the pfeIsxt for stinplGsteTS the
laws can and will be enforced against their cir
culation. By this process, the fraudulent banks
must, of necessity, be broken up and blotIed

tended as to govern and control all Banking opeIs
atons for the futuret and bankers made liable
