The Precocious Buffalo Boy.

A true story of precocious juvenility
was told over a Buffalo dinner table
the other day. The hero of the tale
was a small boy named Paul, and he
wore beautiful yellow curls-much
against his will. be it said. But Paurs
mother had seen Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" Paul was walking on the street
with his maid when lady came up
behind him, and, seeing the beautiful
curls, said: What pretty curls! You
must be very proud of them"
mo, I'm not" was the discontented
reply; mamma thinks they make me
look like those damned cherubs. ~

pose of favoring u few and accum-
ulating riches for u limited class =?
Can it be more impious than
the brazen assumption that n ma
iOrity in Congress gained by fraud,
by the prostitution Of the civil SER
vice, and by the Wholesale and cor
rupt use Of money, is wiser than
the Creator of the Universe, and
that the natural laws of commerce
and production are essentially
wrong and mischievous? ? Can it de-
hauch the public conscience more
than the prohibitory tariff creed
that selfishness is the Supreme OBJ
ject of American alterations, and
that the Golden Rule and the Ten
Commandments have nothing to
do with politics?
"Cheap money" is bad enough,
but some things are worse. 1t may
he bad that PETERS and his policy
of haystack bonds should break in
to the National Senate, but it is
certainly no worse than it is for Il
gigantic ring Of monopolists and
spectators to have control of the
National Treasury.
We are face to face with the
question whether our government
shall be used as an instrument to
enable great combinations Of CAPT
tai to limit production, crush com
petition, control our market and
arbitrarily fix prices and wages.
The cheap money movement is but
one form of the rising revolt
against the use and abuse of the
government for such a purpose--a
revolt which will grind to powder
the political party which under
takes to withstand the righteous
wrath of the people against mo-
nopolistic expressions.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1891-02-14

tariff on articles of domestic pro-
duction that have full control Of
our markets is wholly useless either
for protection or revenue.
Again: The producer cannot be
protected upon any product which
in its journey from such producer
to the consumer must pass through
the hands of n third party, even
though competition with like for
eign product exists.
The latter is the position occu-
pied by the wool producer of the
United States. Between the pro-
ducer and the consumer intervenes
the wool merchant, the manufac-
turer, the wholesale merchant and
the retail merchant, all of whose
interests clash with the interest of
the producer.
The wool merchant regulates his
prices by the demand for certain
grades Jf wool by the manufactur-
ers, and their wants are determined
by the demand for certain grades
of manufactured goods which can
be put on the market at a certain
minimum price.
1t may be asked, if the tariff does
not tend to increase the price of
domestic woods to the extent of the
duty? This might be true were it
not for two conditions. First, the
quantity of wool held over from
the previous year; and second the
necessities of the producer which
forces him to put his clip on the
market as soon as possible at any
price offered. These conditions
eliminate the effect of the tariff so
far as the producer is concerned,
and its only effect, if any, is to en-
hance the cost of the manufactured
goods to him, in common with all
other consumers.

greatly "gravelled" the laudlady
to have them proclaimed in the
very ears of her boarders, where
fore she has hauled the phonograph
proprietor before magistrate, who
must consider number of new
and very perpleXing questions of
law before he can settle the matt0r.
How far are the condolences of
the boarding house kitchen to be
regarded as inviolable, like those
of lawyer and client, physician and
patient, priest and penitent? How
far is a man responsible for the
misconduct of his phonograh? The
law has wrestled for ages over the
question of Il mans accountability
for the torts of his wife, but this is
nicer question, surely. a man
may be privileged to let what he
pleases enter the ear of his phono-
graph, and yet be liable if he re-
quires the instrument to repeat the
malicious things it has heard. In
that case the question will arise as
to the extent of his agency in the
utterance. Did he turn the crank
himself? Or did he ask some one
else to turn it? Or did some one
else turn it unasked? Who sug-
gested that it be turned? How far
does consent involve agency?
No man subject to headaches
will envy the magistrate who must
resolve these riddles!
But what a field of usefulness the
incident suggests for the faithful
talking machine! a man subject
to curtain lectures might mitigate
his sufTerings somewhat by surrep-
titiously attaching his machine to
the headboard, and afterwards con-
fronting the partner of his bosom
with the evidence of her offense.
But if she be a woman of spirit we
do not know that this course is to
be recommended.
The playful boy Of the family
might have "no end of fun" by hi
ding machine behind the sofa
when his sisters young man calls,
and then exhibiting the result to
her other young man. Boys do not
greatly mind having their ears
boxed in Il good cause.
Every ingenious mind will at
once suggest other applications of
the machine, but caution in their
use must be enjoined. Otherwise the
phonogrAph will surely be publicly
condemned to death as the disturb
er Of the peace and order Of So
ciety.

Wool and Protection.

American industries has been so
thoroughly discussed and so well
studied, in recent years, that we
had thought the question was
thoroughly understood; hut the
action of the, so-called, "Ohio Wool
Growers association" at its bust

ces us that the seeds of protection
heresy are yet to be found in the
ranks of the Ohio wool growers,

fact.

A Curious Deed,

A curious old deed was uncover
ed in the case of VIM Lemon and
others against Jarad Donelson and
others, tried at this term of Court.
The case is one of lot of cases
growing out of the split in the I'm
tied Brethren Church, and is a con-
troverSy for the possession of
church property.
This particular case was for the
possession of the lot of ground and
building thereon, known as the
"Donelson Church," located in
Green Tp., in which case the Glib
erals" were represented by the
plaintiffs and the "Radicals" by the
defendants.
The lot of land Zone acre. was
granted by a Mr.. Donelson in 1929,
by gift deed containing the fol-
lowing provision.
"ro certain named parties, as
Trustees of the U. Z. church and
their SUCCESSORS in Office, =
for the purpose of erecting thereon
meeting house, Which shall be
free for the use of oil Christian de-
nominations, and for burying
ground
The trustees, under this deed,
took possession and erected a
building, which was used for church
meetings till about 1889, when it
was torn down and replaced by an
other which was replaced some
years ago by the present structure
The plaintiffs as trustees of the
"Liberals" claimed to be the right
full successors Of the original trus-
tees, that they were entitled to the
exclusive possession of the build
ing by reason of the fact that the
deed did not provide for the main
tainance Of such free church, and
that they had exclusive and peac,
able possession of the same fol-
more than twenty-one years.
The.defendants denied that the
plaintiffs are the successors of the
original trustees or entitled as
such, to the exclusive possession
and use of the said church build
ing.
That the deed created a vested
trust and that the defendants were
a distinct body or denomination ot
Christians and as such were entitl
ed to the use of said building fol
religious meetings.
The court held that the plaintiffs
as trustees, were the successors o
the original trustees. That the
provision of the deed requiring
that the building erected on sale
land should be "free," was in full
force, and that defendants, under
its provisions,are entitled to the us(

The Silver Agitation.

Columbus Post.
The stimulus which has been
given by the Mckinley tariff to the
"Cheap money" movement is one
of the most serious and significant
signs of the times 1t is q most i'm
pressive object lesson as to the
character and effect of that tariff.
No sooner had the war duties been
raised for the benefit of the trusts
than this clamor for cheap money,
and plenty of it, began to be heard.
Before the Mckinley act took eff
feet in October last, the demands
of the greenback and silver infla-
tionists were comparatively feeble;
since that time they have revolu-
tionized States, produced a poIiti-
cal coalition between the South
and the Northwest, and threatened
the Republican party with di5or-
ganization.
The despots Of the caucus who
strangled debate in the House Of
Representatives, and arbitrarily
"counted in" the Trust Tariff, prob
ably did not anticipate these re-
suits, yet they are perfectly logical
and might easily have been fore
seen. If the farmers of this coun-
try are compelled to pay trust
prices for most of the manufacture
ed articles they consume, it is per-
fectly natural that they should
want to pay in cornstOck curren-
cy. If agriculture is to be dispar-
aged and its resources deprecated
for the benefit of other industries,
/ it is perfectly natural that agricul-
| turiSts should seek this method of
restoring the equilibrium. If the
| consumers of the country are to be
taxed in order that monOpOlies
may thrive, it is perfectly natural
that they seek relief from the bur
den by depreciating the taX-paying
medium. If the workingman's
dinner bucket must pay tribute tc
a few millionaires who are specu.
lating on the inflated stocks of hy.
pothetical tin-mining schemes I, it is
perfectly natural that the owner of
the bucket should want to pay the
tribute in currency of minimum
| value.
Nine-tenths of the force of the
pres ent cheap money movement is
received from the fact that the
present barharous prohibitory tar.
itflaw furnishes it Il basis of JUS
tice. The movement is but a nat
ural, however i'll advised, revolt
against the soulless, grinding des
potisln of seitlshnesS and greed. II
