A Dog In War.


The publication Of the statement that
the Germans are training dogs for war
recalls the fact that n soldier OF Col.
Bowen's regiment, in the Confederate
army. had a large dog, which inyaria-
bly, accom- panied him on any duty
whatever aud was as good as a CONF
panion. The dog was as ardent a
rebel as his master. aud somehow or
other seemed to have prcternatGrally
quick nose for bIue-coat. When the
man was on picket duty his dog was
always nOslng about some distance in
the front, and il there were any Fed
erals within half mile he would ind
them Out aud bark. He never vent
ured 10 attack them, but like cav
alryman. took to the rear when an en-
gagement was in progress; but after
the battle was over lie would renppear.
The man was finally killed while on
the picket line by going TO a spring
after water In spite OF tho warnings Of
the dog, and the men OF the regiment
tried TO keep the animal. but hr went
away. He had no esprit du corps His
devotion was purely personal to bis
master. ST LOuis 0lObe- Democrat.

Senator PETER declaretin a recent
speech in New York that the far mers
demanded cheap money, since which
time the proposition has met with a
storm Of ridicule and abuse from the
partisan press. The animus OF this at
tack should not be misunderstood or its
effects underestimated. Ridicule Is often
more potent than argument and is usu-
ally resorted 10 when argument fails.
The true meaning Of the term cheap
money has been purposely misapplied
in order TO deceive and confuse. Sem
atOr PETER did not allude 10, neither
does the alliance demand ''cheap
money In the sense in which IL might
be applied 10 the politicians or editors
who are seeking 10 force this miscon-
ception upon the people, Far from IL;
the demand is for the best kind Of money
instead OF the poorest, as Is alleged.
The alliance asks for the only money
possible that has a basis beyond a doubt
as to its complete responsibility and suf-
ficiency. There is a wide difference be-
tween cheap money and inferior money.
The first Is money for the peoples use
without tho present extOrtionate cost,
while the second is deprecated, unsta-
bic and worthless. II is not a cheap
quality IN money that is demanded, but
money that will not require so much Of
the product cf labor 10 obtain. The al
lance demands an increase in the
amount of good money in circulation In
order 10 bring about this result, well
knowing that an increase ofpoor, worth
less currency will have an opposite ef-
feet Those who are crying ous cheap
money" know fun well the true situa-
tion, but their purposes are better served
by misrepresenting the facts aud there
by misleading and befogging the pco-
pie. National Economigt

Regarding tho question whether or not tin
plato can be made in this country. the Phila-
| delphia Record we'll says that it has never
really been raised. as tin-plate has been made
| in the United States and more can be made.
| The true point of controversy is whether IL is
worth our while to make dear tin-plate here
rather than TO buy cheap tin-plate of the
| Welshmen. Our contemporary insists that
| It il an outrageous abuse of the taxing power
20 make the consumers of tin plato pay sl5.-
600 900 per year extra for the benefit Of q few
persons who wish TO manufacture 1t.
That strikes tho nail sauarely on the head.
The billion-dolar Congress. with its Mckin-
ley high protection annex, had only two ob-
jects in mind namely. to enrich the North
at the expense of the South through the me-
dunn Of pensions. and TO create class OF
wealthy monopoists at the expense OF the
x-payers Of the whole country through the
medium of the Mckinley tariff. heavy
duty was put on plate chiefly that one OF
the members Of that Congress, who voted for
the increased rate OF duty. might lay in q sup
ply OF Welsh tin. imp rted at the old rate
before tho Mckinley law went into effect,
which he might sell after the new rate had
been imposed. and make clear profit Of the
difference. And in doing this the ifty-frst
Congress were actuated by identicaly the
same spirit that induced them TO heavily tax
woolens and iron articles. and that was that
they might levy tribute upon the masses for
the benefit of privileged favorites thereby
concentrating wealth in the hands of few
who would give it freely to campaign corrup-
ton funds for the purchase Of Republican
victories
OF course. that most corrupt Of all the cor
rupt Congresses which has ever disgraced the
American name would not dare with all their
efrontery 20 do this openly lest they should
create revolution among the people, so they
fimsily attempted 10 conceal their designs I'M
der the high sounding name Of patriotism. But
patriotism like charity begins athome, and the
thrifty housewife, who has 10 buy tn articles

The pressure upon the country by the Nc.

construction OF that odious measure. For
instance, the acting Secretary of tho Treasury
has decided that jewelry pawned by Euro.
