CAMPBELL GIVES UP,

The st. Louis Republic is Demo-
cratic organ, and it is urgently in favor
of free coinage. 1t said recently that
the only way for the Democracy of Ohio
to win was to fight it out on the plat
form which they had adopted. Some
correspondence followed, which Gov.
Campbell did not think would be made
public, but of which the Republic has
seen ft to print the story The Republic
says, meaning by "this" its advice to
Ohio Democrats:
'Mr. J. A. Bayle, of st. Louis, inclOsed this to
Governor Campbell in PERSONAL---VERY. replying to
which, under date of August 81, Governor Campbell
writes that he wished to make the fight on the
tariff issue alone, believing that sucha contest had
in it the certainty of Democratic victory. He did
not believe in injecting the coinage issue. 1nmy
Judgment he writes it was unnecessary TO do so
this year in advance of any declaration by the
National Democracy, but having made the issue,
of course we shall have to abide by it, and while
we may not be able to educate the people of the
State in one campaign, we shall at least have done
our best when the thing is over.'
What a sad and melancholy tone is
this. The utterance is worthy brain
wearied by disease. 1t does not sound
much like aggressiveness. The Republic
says these further words of Campbell:
HE has lost that which he must use every effort
to regain. The only wise course open for him from
the moment he accepted the denomination on the
Ohio platform was to make a fight in every way as
aggressive as the platform. For the platform calls
for all or nothing 1t will either beat both McKin-
ley and John Sherman or it will beat neither. The
present situation in Ohio is that John Sherman
merely threatened, but not attacked on his finan-
cial record, has made counter attack, and meet
ing no resistance whatever, has turned the Demo-
cratic flank, with Mckinley following him. So the
tariff issue is evaded at present, not that John
Sherman was attacked in conjunction with Nc
Kinley, but because the threat made against him
was not followed by attack
"As a result John Sherman must now be beaten
before Mckinley can be. He stands in front of
Mckinley and the Mckinley bill, and the Demo
Gratis can not get at Mckinley and the tariff issue
until they have disposed of Sherman by meeting
him squarely and killing him politically with.his
own club"
This situation Governor Campbell sees,
and he admits the defeat which he knows
is inevitable.

A Mystery,

How the human system ever RECEIVERS
from the bad effects of the nauseous
medicines often literally poured into it
for the suppositive relief of dyspepsia,
liver complaint, constipation, rheuma-
tism and other ailments, is a mystery
The mischief done by bad medicines is
scarcely less than that caused by dis
ease. If they who are weak, bilious,
dyspeptic, constipated or rheumatic,
would oftener be guided by the expert
ence of invalids who have thoroughly
tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they
would in every instance obtain the
speediest aid derivable from rational
medication. This medicine is search
ing and at the same time a thoroughly
safe remedy, derived from vegetable
sources, and possessing, in consequence
of its basis of pure spirits, properties as
a medicinal stimulant not to be found
in the fiery local bitters and stimulants
often resorted to by the debilitated, dys-
peptic and languid. 9-3 At.

safely be challenged to produce records
of sales on that subject, for retail dealers
are perfectly aware that readymade
clothing is now sold in every part of the
land as cheaply as it was one year or
two years ago, and do not dare by pub
fishing statements to the contrary to
place themselves on record as cheating
their customers. There is one firm in
this city which has retail stores in many
cities East and West, and in not one of
them has penny been added on account
of the tariff to the prices of clothing it
sells. Evidence of the same sort can be
found everywhere.
Facts are knocking out the free trade
theory effectually. Another objector in
Maryland wanted to know whether the
cost of canned fruits was not enhanced
by the duty on tin plates. The answer
came in a statement from one of the
largest canning establishments that as
yet it paid no advance whatever on the
cost of cans. but if it should be obliged
to pay an advance equal to the entire
new duty on all tin plates used in its
business that would amount to $1,000
yearly, while the decrease in cost of
canned goods through removal of the
duty on sugar by the same tariff was
$4,000 a year in the same business.
Major Mckinley made shrewd and
clear exposition of the effect of duties
on consumers in one of his recent replies
He showed that a revenue duty on
articles not produced largely in this
country was added to the foreign price
and paid by the consumers. But pro-
tective duty, when it had developed
production here so that the domestic
price was fixed by home competition,
was paid by the foreign manufacturers
or dealers for the privilege of selling at
all in the protected market. Thus it
comes to pass that foreign woolens and
cutlery are actually sold in this country
to-day at exactly the prices charged be-
fore the advance of duties.
The good work of education will go
On until the election with constantly in
creasing power. Every day the minds
of men are being opened by irresistible
facts to perceive the falsity of theories
upon which free traders rely. The
deluge of falsehoods about the higher
cost of "every article needed from the
cradle to the grave" served its purpose
for one election only, and now the
millions who find that they have been
cheated by these Democratic untruths
are preparing to make their answer.

A FUTILE IDEA.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
1t is a striking illustration of the
crude views on political economy which
prevail in Farmers Alliance circles, that
at the time of the largest cotton and
wheat crops in the history of this country
it is proposed that the producers of each
staple should corner their own markets.
The idea that this could be done in the
wheat market has hardly spent itself
when it is proposed to do it with the
cotton crop. The New Orleans Times
Democrat gravely argues that it is more
feasible to do it with cotton than with
wheat, because the Uuited States pro-
duces three-f -fourths of the cotton of the
world, while our proportion of the wheat
production is hardly onef0urth.
Such logic is delicious. 1t may be
more feasible for housemaid with a
broom to sweep out Lake Erie than to
do the same with Lake Superior, but
either is sufficiently impossible. If the
cotton crop cornerers can raise the neat
little sum of S300,000,0OO to take the
crops of producers whose circumstances
or Judgment lead them to take nominal
market prices for their products, they
may do something with their corner.
But until that time they are likely to
make much more of a success in drawing
out Leviathans with hook than by
absorbing staple of which there are
million or more sellers in the country
this fall.
The profusion of such foolish plans is
an indication of the Generalization OF
business judgment, as well as principles,
produced by the example of successful
monopolies. Because great capitalists,
by the aid of illegal combinations, have
succeeded in controlling the market for
staples of comparatively limited pro-
duction, like petroleum and anthracite
coal, others are not only ready to follow
the example of illegitimate gain, but are
willing to pursue the monopolistic game
into fields of production where the effort
to establish monopoly is as hopeless
as the attempt to control the tides of
the Atlantic ocean.

THE relative imnortance of the tran.

THE relative Importance of the tran
sient increase in the price of tin-plate,
compared with the permanent decrease
in the price of sugar, is well shown by
the following fact: A Maryland canning
factory estimates that if they paid the
entire duty on tin-plate, which they do
not, their expenses would be $1,000
greater than they are, while they actually
save in one year under the Mckinley
bill reduction in sugar, $1,000. This is
a great business, but the tin utensils
bought by any family are not one cent
higher this year than last, while in any
family there is substantial saving in
the purchase of sugar.

A NEW YORK VIEW.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
All accounts of Major McKinley's
campaign in Ohio are encouraging. He
is putting into the State at large such
work as he gave last year to the single
district in which he reduced the regular
Democratic majority two thousand.
This district was dirty fraud, as will
be remembered, having been made up
by the bargain -and-Sale Democratic
Legislature with Democratic counties
expressly to keep Mckinley out of the
House. 1t is believed that, in addition
to the reckless gerrymander, the Demo
Gratis found it necessary, in order to
accomplish their infamy, to make false
returns from the back townships of
Holmes county.

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES.
Some are Funny and Some are Not.
HENRY CLAY's BULLsEYE.

HENRY CLAY'S BULLSEYE.
A story old but good is told of Henry
Clay's lucky crack shot. Clay was visit
ing a backwoods county in Kentucky,
where the man who could fire the best
shot stood highest in esteem, and the
man who couldn't fire at all was looked
upon with contempt. He was canvass
ing for votes when he was approached
by some old hunters, one Jf whom told
him that he would be elected to Con-
gress, but that he must first show how
good a shot he was.
Clay declared that he never shot with
any rifle except his own, which was at
home. A target was set up, however,
and Mr.. Clay aimed at it. He fired
faintheartedly, but the shot struck the
bullseye in the center.
"a chance shot! A chance shotl"
cried his opponents.
"Never mind" he answered. "You
beat it, and then l will"
No one could beat it, and Mr.. Clay
had too much good sense to try again.

A BISHOPS "BOGUs" COIN.

Pail Mall Gazette.
DR.. Billing, Bishop of Bedford, tells
an amusing story about an East End
church collection. 1t appears that the
Bishop had been preaching to very
poor congregation, and that when the
plate was handed round, moved with
compassion, he contributed sovereign
to it. While disrobing in the vestry, he
inquired of one of the churchwardens
what sort of a collection there had been.
"Better than usual, thanks to your lord
ship" was the reply; "we have got sew
eral silver coins and quantity of cop
per. There is sovereign also, but that
of course is bogus one." The Bishop
held his peace, but must have felt slight
ly chagrined at the miscarriage of his
liberality. Later he ventured to inquire
of the other churchwarden what the col
lection had amounted to. Seventeen
and eightpence halfpenny-much better
than usual" was the answer cheerfully
given. The prelate does not divulge
whether or no he pOcketed his modesty,
and confessed that some acquaintance
with the golden coin enabled him to
vouch for its genuineness.

THIS DOG BARKS NO MORE.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Robert Dingee, who lives on East
Fifth street, has a full-sized, healthy
Newfoundland dog which has no bark.
This extremely desirable condition was
brought about by Mr.. Dingee quite un-
Intentionally.
Last spring the dog had the distem-
per, and there being no dog doctor with
in calling distance. Mr.. Dingee decided
to treat it. He began with the rudi-
ments of medical knowledge and gave
the dog medicine for a cold. First he
administered two anti-bilious cathartic
pills and six two-grain quinine pills,
which he concealed in piece of meat.
The effect of this dose was so depressing
that big drink of whisky and milk was
given to cheer it up. The next morn
ing few drops of nux vomica were put
in its meat to tone UP its system. Then
the dog got well.
Somewhere between the cathartic and
the nux vomica the dog lost its voice.
When the dog wags its tail and opens
its mouth you know it would bark if it
could.
The dog is no longer terror to tramps
and cats and has developed great popu-
larity with the neighbors, who are rec
ommending this course of treatment to
their friends who take more or less inter
est in dog flesh.
