The Depression of silver.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, the
loading newspaper of the South, and
one of the ablest advocates of silver
ia the country, thus defines one Of the
principal causes of the depression in
the price of silver in the London mar
ket:
"a pound of silver bullion will buy
363 per cent more wheat of given
grade in India than in the United
States. Silver is bought with gold, or
Bank of Engladd gold notes, at the
same 304 per cent discount that pre-
wallis in the United States. If silver
bullion were at par, We may say that
a given sum of gold or bank notes
would buy 100 pounds of bullion. but
a. it is 304 per cent. below the coinage
par, that same sum of gold or bank
notes will buy 145 pounds; SO that the
dealer, by simply converting his
money into silver bullion, eau buy a
quantity of wheat in India represent
ed by l45 instead of 100. 1t is thus
that the silver discount gives India
the irresistible power to fix minimum
prices for American wheat. concern
ing which our English cousins in the
grain trade are SO jubilant."

she was anxious to go and tell what

her story, which was corrobOrated by
her son Willie. Said she:
1.-The evening after the murder, a

Eireinfhe Penifentiarx,

COLUMBUS, Oct. 2l.-The fire in the
penitentiary this morning proved to
be fully as serious as the meager re-
ports sent out at that early hour indi
Gated. 1t has not yet been definitely
ascertained what the cause of the fire
was. 1t began shortly before O'Clock
in the wheel shop, and that building
was quickly consumed. The cooper
shops went next. The scene was a
dramatic one. The bright blazes light
ed up the gloomy interior of the prison
walls, ami the cries of many panic
stricken prisoners, who feared an aw-
full fate. were terrible.
The chair shop of the J. W. Damn
Company, containing the finest ma
chinery, was consumed. together with
a quantity of material. The Damn loss
will reach $40, 900, W bile the loss to the
State in buildings and labor will reach
S25. 900. The fire was got under con-
troll shortly after o'clock.
The Columbus correspondent Of the
Plain Dealer of the 2lst says:
Developments today show that the
fire which destroyed $25, 900 worth of
property at the Ohio penitentisry last
night was the direct and immediate
result of Republican mismanagement.
Not a single alarm was turned in from
within the walls, the first one being
sent by an outsider who saw the flames
and the second one, which called out
the entire department. was also sent
from the outside. When the depart
ment did arrive they found the gates
closed against them and it was
impossible to enter until fireman had
notified the captain of the night watch
rf OF
the gate
But this is not all. Mr.. Rowland,
ex superintendent of construction, was
seen by your correspondent tonight,
and stated that the destructive fire of
last night was just what he had been
expecting, and that he had repeatedly
| warned the board of managers during
| the past six months that the fire pro-
| lection was Inadequate. He succeeded
| in securing an appropriation to COM
plete the fire protection, and endeav-
Ored to have the work done immedi-
ately, but manager Round objected to
proceeding with the work until after
the LIST of January in order that the in
stitution could make as good finan.
cial showing as possible. In reply to
this, Mr. Rowland said: You may
call this Democratic extravaganza, or
anything you please, but if you do
not provide this water power supply
your property will be in danger, and
you will be subject to just criticism
for your negligence"
By this attempt to make a good
financial showing the State has lost
$40 600, the remaining loss falling upon
iniidual contractors, who were insur-
ed, however, to the amount of $26, 900.
When the psnitentiary fire squad did
get to work they found the supply of
water so small that they could accom-.
piish nothing. The whole shop was
totally destroyed. and the cooper shop
and GilIs foundry badly burned. be-
| ing saved from total destruction by the
city department.

PROPOSED REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION.
On the 9th of April, 1856, Mr.. Brown,
Chairman of the House Finance Com
mlttee, introduced in that body two
bills, which We're prepared in the
tI0vernor's otfice-House bill4 Nos.
SIT and 5lS-embodying the recon-.
mendations contained in Gov. Fora
ker's special message on the subject of
taxation. House bill SIS seeks to car
ry out his recommendation for imme-
date revaluation of every farm in
Ohio. Both these bills are pending in
the House, and Governor Foraker will
push them through next winter, and
have them enacted into laws, unless
the people forbid it by giving a decl.
sive Democratic majority at the polls
on the I'd day of November next.
The late Republican State Conven-
tion indorsed Governor Foraker and
the Republican majority in the Legis-
lature, hence, that party indorses the
reck lessness of the present Republican
General Assembly, and the views of
the Governor, to add TO the taxes of
the farmers.

gance of the Republican State Govern
ment and the Republican General
Assembly in appropriating a sum
amounting to $l,10S, $50 63 in excess

ments furnished by the State Auditor
last winter to Mr.. Brown, Chairman
OF the House Finance Committee, and
explained by him on the floor of the
House, has already created defeiereu
OF 0uer million dollars. In order 10 meet
it, the Republican managers have
adopted the scheme to revalue the
farms of Ohio, aud thus increase the
taxes of the farmers.
THE DEMOCRATS PROTECT THE FARM.
| Err.
The thirteenth plank in the Ohio
State Democratic Platform for 1856 is
I as follows:
We are opposed to an increase in
the tax burdens upon the agricultural
interest of the State of Ohio, as rec
commended by Governor Foraker liz
his special message to the Legislature
and embodied in bills now pending in
that body; and We demand that the
! untaxed wealth now withheld from
J taxation by evasion and avarice shall
!. be placed upon the tax duplicate
} thereby relieving those taxpayers who
are already overburdened."
This shows that the Democratic par
ty is opposed to an increase of the
taxes on farmers, as proposed by Gov
ernor Foraker aud the Republican
managers; and that it demands thai
the untaxed wealth of corporations

THE French protectioplsts are sti

THE French prOtectiOpists are still
crying for more protection. To all
appearances they will not be satisfied
until the Government prohibits the
import of any material that comes in
competition with a native product of
a similar kind, Their last demand is
embodied in an application of the
Bordeaux chamber of commerce to
Premier de Freycinet on his visit to
that city. This demand is that the
importation of American canned and
salted meats into France be prohibited
The Government has been importing
these meats for the use of the army
and navy, in the Chinese and other
far Eastern wars, for the reason that
France cannot supply a sufficient
quantity of them, or at as low prices
as the American articles. OF course
the soldiers and sailors would greatly
suffer through the deprivation of these
absolutely necessary foods. But what
care the French protectionists for this?
They are selfish. All others are broad
and generous.

Advice to Country Girls.

City life is not all that it is painted.
1t has its pleasures and conveniences,
but it also has lis serious drawbacks.
Before making the plunge into life in
the city country g,rls should ask them
selves what Is really to be gained by it.
Perhaps in their quiet, rural homes
some stray advertisement has reached
them, promising to young women high
salaries for light work. Hundreds OF
these advertisements are framed for the
very purpose of deceiving the unwary.
They accomplish their purpose, how
ever, and large numbers of young girls
rush up to the city, dazzled by the gen
erous profusion of promises.
A girl from the farm answers one OF
these advertisements. Life may have
been slow at home, but there was al
ways good food and in plenty, and there
was some one 10 care for i'll the old
farm house. When she goes to the big
city she finds that the light work.
consists in working all day in a badly
lighted and ill-smelling workshop.
where scores of other girls and women
are employed at wages hardly high
enough to keep body and soul to-
gether.
We know what often comes next.
The girl has left home; she is ashamed
or unwilling to return, and she must
take the consequences, ofttimes one OF
two things-shame or suffering. Many
girl finds first in the frivolities and
next in the iniquity of the streets that
excitement by which regrets and re-
morse may be deadcned. If she is
too strong in principle, too pure and
elevated in tone thus TO sink down to
one of the pitiable women of the street
she may find herself in some cold gar
ret, lonely, overworked, respondent anC
miserable
Better remain at home than risk the
failure which attends so many girls who
go to the city in pursuit of high pay fol
light work. 1t is the saddest of al
ventures, forsaking country home fol
