THE SHERMAN LAW.

From April, 1878 to July 1890, under
the Bland silver law the people
of the United States prospered. Occa-
sionally some eminent citizen, like
7 Abram S. Hewitt, made an ass of him
T self by predicting premium on gold
within six months time, as the result
iof the laws operation, land occasional
lily Wall street speculator offered a
! slight premium for Scalp on GER
tain amount of the yellow metal. But
the premium on gold and the general
smash up, which were looked for,
never came; and, in the mean time,
the Bland law supplied the country
with circulating medium, which, al
though it was lightweight coin, Off
set the steady shrinkage in the vol
ume of national bank currency and
saved the business interests of the
country from contraction and disas
ter. The Sherman law of 1890 was
decided Improvement on the Bland
7 law of 1873, inasmuch as it substituted
a full weight for light weight dollar.
From July, 1890, to November, 1892,
Gne American people lived and
Ifthfived under the operation of this
law, at times enjoying general pros
perity unprecedented in the history
of the country. With the advent of
the democratic power at Washington,
that prosperity mas suddenly come to
an abrupt end. But the change can
not be traced to the Sherman law. 1t
must be laid at some other door. The
recent gold scare was mere furry.
The treasury gold reserve dropped
from 100000, 900 to nearly $89, O00,
600. 1t is now back again near the
$1O0,OO0,OOO mark. The past few
weeks have witnessed the import of
gold from Europe, several millions
having been shipped to New York.
Since 1878, under the Bland and Sher
man silver laws, the United States has
imported many millions more gold
than it has exported. The Sherman
silver law has no more to do with the
present uncertainty and depression in
business affairs than has the man in
the moon. 1t has served as a bugaboo
for the democratic party to hold up
before the people, to divert atten-
Jion from the tariff policy of the dem
ocratic party to which the existing
distrust, disaster and depression are
principally due. In the mean time
the Sherman law is constantly tend
ing to relieve the stringency of the
money market by putting limited
number of new and honest dollars in
circulation, every month. Exchange.
The NeaO York Tribune under the cap
ton, "What Does a Democratic Ma
jority Mean?" very pertinently says:
"What does Democratic majority
mean? 1t certainly means nothing on
the question of silver coinage, which
is now at the front and overshadowing
all other issues. 1T can do nothing in
that direction without the help of Re-
publicans. Does it mean anything on
the question of the tariff? There are
no signs of it. The party is almost as
wide open on that as on the silver
question. 1t is no less broken up on
the matter of the tax on State banks,
upon which in a straight from the
shoulder resolution of hardly more /
than line it took SO decided stand.
Indeed, there is nothing in all the
Chicago platform, unless it be
with itself, Nothing that it can take
up and carry out with anything like /
harmony or unity of action. The |

A LESSON.

A stern parent in Brooklyn acknowl-
edges that he has learned a lesson. He
strictly enjoined his seventeen-year-old
laughter from receiving company in the
2arlor at home. The girl met a young
la elsewhere and allowed him TO see
her to her own gate. Father. l am a
woman now" she said, when her
'ather confronted her. The father should
Rave taken warning. But he didn't. He
:hastised the girl. The next morning
the daughter was missing. and UP to
this morning she lac not com back.
I am convinced now that the girl was
light" says the father. and wish she
would come back. 1 would willingly
lllow her to receive company in the
oarlor." He has learned the wide dis
inction between wise, fatherly care and
inwise. unfatherly rigor. Many a parent

All nutriments consist Of two leading
elements. carbonates and nitrates. The
former answers to charcoal, which when
burned throws out heat. Oil. butter, fat
meat and sugar belong to IN, ~carbonates
or heating foods. In a hundred parts OF
oil there ale nearly a hundred parts of
carbon or warmth. 1t is the same with
sugar. Hence in cold weather our sys-
tenn demands more fats and sweets than
in Summer.
The nitrogeneous foods make muscle
and impart strength. Rice, beans. pota-
toes, wheat, corn, oats, beef, &C., belong
TO this class. Some OF these have also
a large proportion of the carbonaceous
elements.
Wheaton grlts, crushed wheat and gra-
ham bread have all the elements needed
to give warmth and strength to the body,
and would keep 1t in strength and vigor
even IL nothing else were eaten FOR
months together In Scotland. We are
told. whole families make their entire
breakfast ~throughoL- the year on oat-

nutriment and should be eaten more thar
they are. In selecting from the meats,

THE FIRST BLOW.

The used-up Gravesend boss Is now In
need Of vindication against the charge
Of contempt Of Court, for which Judge
Btrnard has called him to account.
McKane Is accused OF disregarding and
defying an order of the Supreme Court,
and a crowd of reputable and unimpeach-
able witnesses have sworn to the charge.
When McKane stands at the bar of the
SQUIRT to answer for this grave offense he
will find that while a Supreme Court
order is OF very little consequence, and
carries with 1t very slight weight in a
crowd Of McKane toughs at Grave
send, 1t has some strength within the
precincts of the court.
1t is difficult to see what McKane IS
going to do about this first instalment OF
he Justice he is likely to find awaiting
his illegal acts during the recent cam.
,aign. He may sue the witnesses who
appeared before Judge Barnard for libel,
put that Is scarcely a vindication hat will
Keep him outside the bars OF a Jail.

calls Il, either. You are nest decidedly mistaken.
Mr.. Bellamy. when you say or intimate that Gig
arctic smoking originated among fallen women. or
that only fallen women smoke. Only the lowest
disgrace 1t. as they do everything, and the only
mistake a woman makes with the fad or habit is
In letting any one know OF II outside Of her set.
Plenty Of nice. respectable women smoke cigar
cites. and they do not get tight either. 1t Is Just
as respectable as any fad or habit: the respecta-
bility lies in doing the thing properly. and keep

do not smoke; never did; neither do | drink. l
