hear terrible howl about honesty from
every capitalist and money.lender in
the land. One of them expresses him
self thusly, speaking of the demand for
stay loans in the West to keep the
money sharks from taking the Western
! farmers homes away from them, at this
time when the produce of the farm won't
pay for the marketing: "The same
spirit is exhibited in the ardor of West.
ern Congressman generally, for de-
probation of the currency standard by
silver legislation, to enable debtors who
borrowed money of a certain denomina-
ton and corresponding value, to cheat
their creditors by paying their debts
with money nominolly of the same de-
nomination but really of value 20 to 80
cents less"
Yes, yes, gentlemen, it was all right
when the people were cheated out of 20
to 30, and even so per cent, but it is
terrible when the capitalist is to get a
a dose of his own medicine given back
to him. Surely, consistency is jewel;
but let Western Congressman beware,
for the eyes of the people are on them.
The people are just now more concerned
abont how their representatives in
Congress 0ote, than about any promises
or speeches they may make. Do you
see?

Silver Don't Circulate.

Well, does gold circulate? No, far
from it. If the argument is good for
anything it is just as good against gold
as silver. But silver does circulate,
not as much as might be deeired by
the silver advocates. but, nevertheless,
it circulates far more than gold. For
We do see more or less of the silver dol
lars in circulation, but not a bit of gold.
Where is the man that can show q gold
coin? Briog him out, it would be a
sight 10 see. So that if we make this
test, silver has the advantage altogether,
aud is therefore to be preferred to gold
as money. The truth is, all the argu-
ments against giving it an equal stand
ing with gold are mare subterfuges,
with no logical connection or sound
conclusion. AS to the enlarged volume
of money which it would put in circu-
lation and thereby flood the country,
that is all bosh. For if this should
appear at any future time, congress
would step in aud limit the same, with
respect to either gold or silver, or both.
There is no difficulty on this score and
there is no necessity for making any
distinction between the two metals.

An Old Mans Heroic Conduct.

Robert Watts, who died at Felixstowe,
deserves word of praise for his heroic
conduct, which fastened his end. He
was IS years of age, and had lived at the
Felixstowe ferry all his life. On Easter
Tuesday signs of distress were shown by
vessel on the Skipwash Sands, twelve
miles out at sea. A boat was manned,
and Watts went with the crew, but they
were out for over ten hours in the cold
winds of very bitter day, and next day
the old man was found dead, the cold
and exposure being more than he could
stand.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE FALL OF PRICES.

While the removal of protective
duties by inviting importatious would
undoubtedly operate directly to reduce
prices Of all competing products, and
would ultimately result in draining
down our money volume and lowering
prices generally, on the other hand, it
is equally certain that protection, to
whatever extent it may be carried, will
not, in itself, prevent continued fall
in the general range of prices.
Protective duties may. and doubtless
do, affect prices locally and relatively.
but, in general. prices depend on money

passu with the shrinkage of the money
volume prices have fallen, and they
will continue to fall SO long as, relative

the money volume falls away.
1t should be understood, therefore
by manufacturers and protectionists
generally, that neither the Mckinley
bill nor any other bill will stop the fall
Of prices in the United States. while

His Speech Came Back.

Fred Couch, who suffered an accident
in Ansonia, Conn.,, whereby he lost all
power of speech, has as mysteriously
gained it again. He was riding on the
cars to Great Darlington, Mass, with
his wife and child, when he felt a pecu-
liar itching in his throat As the train
neared Great Darlington Couch looked
out the window, and, turning towards
his wife, exclaimed: Mother used to 90
by that road!" These were the first
words he had spoken since the accident.
He continues to improve.--Philadelphia

LIGHT CLOTH JACKETS.
The lightest shades Of tan and gray
cloth rival the white cloth jackets for
summer wraps. The special novelty
for these is gray cloth cloute, or stubbed
with steel in small bits like nail heads
Other cloth jackets in tan shades have
large sleeves braided in scale patterns
and odd intricate designs, sometimes
done on cloth, sometimes on velvet.
Another novelty is transparent sleeves
of black lace in tan or gray cloth
jackets. Black guipure net thickly
wrought with laage pastilIes is used for
these sleeves, which are mostly in the
straight bishop shape, with velvet
cuff wrought with metallic threads to
match the revers and collars. White
cloth jackets are made with extreme
plainness, their edges merely stitched
with white, or else they have slight
finish of gold or silver braid that does
not tarnish around the collar and on the
cuffs.

MONTANA, OREGON AND
WASHINGTON.

The Northern Pacific Railroad passing through
Minnesota, Dakota. Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington was the first line to bring the region
occupied by these states into communication with
the east. Its main line and branches penetrate all
sections OF these states, reaching nine-tenths of
the chief cities Ii is the short line to Helena and
Butte, Mont, Spokane Falls, Tacoma and Seattle,
Wash, and Portland Ore. and the only line run
ming through train service from the east through
the states of Montana and Washington. Pullman
Sleepers and furnished Tourist Sleeping Cars are
Pacific, and Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars via
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and and Northern
Pacific from Chicago through to the Pacific Coast
without change. This is the Dining Car and
Yellowstone Park route.
The large travel on the Northern Pacific line ne
cesstated the Inauguration in June 1890, of a
second through train to the Pacific Coast, thus
enabling this road to offer the public the advantage
of two through trains daily TO Montana and points
in the Pacific Northwest carrying complete service
of sleeping cars, DINING and regular day
coaches. The train leaving St. Paul in the morn
ing runs via the recently completed Air Line of
the Northern Pacific through Butte Mont, max
ing this the shortest line to the latter point by 40
miles.
Colonists for Washington, Oregon and British
the Northern Pacific as by this line only can all
portions OF the state of Washington be seen.

settlers to inspect the country without extra
expense.

1t IL just What They Claim.

Democrats are urging Mr.. Yaple &c
contest the right of Mr. Burrows To q
seat in the Fifty-second congress. None
of the gentlemen who are urging MIR
Yaple to take this step claim that MIR
Burrows was not fairly elected-Paw
Paw TRUE NoRTHERNER.
There are some enigmas for which
philosophy fails 10 account, and why the
Paw Paw NoRTHERNER should inter
ject the word True" is one of them
There is not in the state of Michigan Il
democratic newspaper that has not
stated, plainly and unequivocally, that
Mr.. Burrows claim would be disputed
by Mr.. Yaple, on the grounds, as it is
alleged, that 200 Indiana negroes were
brought across the line and voted foI
Burrows in Cass county: that the ballot
boxes in Calvin township were left un.
guarded and unsealed in that and other
townships in Cass county while the
inspectors went 10 dinner, aud were
subsequently kept open until after five
o'clock; and that about 125 Pottowat.
tonne Indians, claiming tribe relations,
were voted in a body for Burrows in
Van Buren, county. There are but few
republican newspapers in the state that
have not stated these facts. The
NoRTHERNER is printed in that section
of the state, and cannot be unaware OF
the grounds upon which the contest is
put. These necessarily involve the
claim that Mr.. Burrows was not fairly
elected. -Detrott Free Press.
The word True" is used by the
NoRTHERNER in connection with its
name as an indication of the fact, which
every one admits in this part of the
state, that it is always true to principle
to its country, to its party, To its friends
to the people; in word that it always
tells the truth the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth. We don't regard it as
strange that the Detroit Free Press
didn't know why we used the innocent
little word for it evidently has only re.
Gently begun to read our paper.
We venture the prediction that no
contest will be made by Mr. Yaple; no
attempt will be made TO deprive Mr.
Burrows of seat in the LII congress
to which we believe he was as fairly
elected as to any of its predecessors.
A careful investigation of the charges
of crookedness in connection with the
late election in the WITH district has con
WINGED the writer that no Indiana neg
roes were brought across the line and
voted, no Indians voted in Van Buren,
county who were not legally entitled
to vote, and, while occasional technical
violations OF the law may have occurred,
as claimed, their discovery would harm
Mr.. Yaple as much as Mr.. Burrows.
