A Billion Dollar RObber.

In four months the Cleveland admin,
istration has accomplished the mos
gigantic robbery in history. It has
robbed the American people of one
billion dollars. Under the administra.
ton Of Benjamin Harrison the nation
steadily grew in prosperity and wealth.
The Mckinley law gave new impetus
to industrial development. It built
new factories and enlarged those al
ready constructed. Work was plenti-
their purchasing power than at any
other time since the foundation of the
republic. Our exports increased in an
unprecedented degree. Nobody thought
OF doubling either the power or the
purpose of the government to main
tain the absolute integrity of its cur
rency. Confidence in the resources
and future progress of the nation was
universal. Mr.. Cleveland and his party
have reversed all these condi-
tions in a little more than a
hundred days. Distrust has sue
ceeded confidence, contraction has sue
ceeded expansion, loss followed gain.
The administration has multiplied dis
aster by it's stubborn refusal to protect
business interests. The crash of banks,
the ruin of citizens, the general depre-
citation of securities in every form have
gone on until the loss to the people
since March 4 aggregates $1,000, 000,-
600. The party Of destruction has
proven true to its record. The last
time it had full control Of the Govern
ment it wrecked the nation. It has
been robbing the nation at the rate Of
$3.50, 100000 q month since Grover
Cleveland was inaugurated. In view of
these facts the assertions of Democratic
orators like Crisp and McMillin are SUI
premely ridiculous as well as utterly
false. The nation has good cause to
fear the results of the rule of men who
falsifY as we'll as DESTROY.

Squirming from the Platform,

We have always insisted, says the
Dolgeville Herald, that the Democratic
party Is dishonest party; that is, that
it makes pledges to the people which it
never intends to keep. It is party
that promises everything, especially to
the wage-earner, and ends by bringing
the country to the verge of ruin by the
distrust which its incompetency and
rascality spread through the land. The
Buffalo Courier, a very prominent
Democratic paper, is the last instance
of an attempt to squirm away from the
Democratic platform. In recent issue
it says:
We do not believe that there Is q large num-
adopted by the Chicago Convention Of 1892 as
an infallible declaration of Democratic princi-
Piles and policies, and that the party must re-
gard itself as absolutely bound by every SEN
tence and expression of it.: Most Democrats
who have closely examined that noteworthy
political document will admit that II 1t were
TO be adopted again, 1t could be materially i'm
proved by certain changes.
In other words, the platform having
done its duty as "a means to get in on"
is now to be repudiated. This is thor
oughly Democratic, thoroughly in &C.
cord with Democratic tradition and
policy. It is the justification for all the
charges Of dishonesty that are con-
stantly leveled against the Democratic
party by the Republican press. We
have claimed right along that Grover
Cleveland and the Democratic party do
not dare put into effect the Chicago
platform. The claim stands!

anywhere from fbur hours 10 ten. It has,
then, the chance Of collecting disease
germs during this process Of raising and
it has two periods OF working down or
kneading during each Of which it may
gather the dirt containing the germs
from the bakers hands. As no bread
save that raised with yeast, goes
through this long process of raising and
kneading so no bread save that raised
with yeast has so good chance of gath
ering germs.
What is meant by raising" bread is
worth few words. The introduction Of
the yeast into the moist dough and the
addition of heat when the pan is placed
near the fire produces an enormous
growth of the yeast fungi-the yeast
germ" in other words. These fungi eff
feet destructive fermentation of por-
ton of the starchy matter of the flour
one of the most valuable nutrient ele-
ments in the -four. The fermentation
produces carbonic acid gas, and this,
having its orr gin in every little particle
of the starch which is itself everywhere
in the -four, pushes aside the particles of
the dough to give itself room. This is
what is called raising the bread"
It needs but a glance to see that it is,
in its effects on the dough, purely me-

having done it, disappears.
But care is imperative in selecting the
brand of baking powder to be certain
that it is composed of non-injurious
chemicals. Powders containing alum OF
those which are compounded from i'm
pure ingredients, or those which are not
combined in proper proportion or care
fully mixed and which will leave either
an acid or an alkali In the bread, must
not be used.
It is well to sound note of warning
in this direction or the change from the
Objectionable yeast to an impure baking
powder win be case OF jumping from
the frying pan into the fire.
The best baking powder made is, as
shown by analysis, the "Royal." It
contains absolutely nothing but cream
of tartar and soda, refined to a chemical
purity, which when combined under the
influence of heat and moisture produce
carbonic acid gas, and having done this,
disappear. Its leavening strength has
been found superior to other baking
powders, and as far as know, it is the
only powder which win raise large
bread perfectly. Its use avoids the long

A Serious Charge.

The very serious charge is made
that the New York stockholders, E.
G. Benedict & Co., personal friends Of
President Cleveland, made a fortune
by buying stocks through having re-
ceived "a private tip" ahead of every
body else that an extra session of Con-
gress would be called in August. The
news of the calling of the extra session
so early naturally strengthened the
market and sent it up several points.
MIR. ]. E. Benedict, member of the
firm, denies that he received "a tip,
but admits the purchases of stock, and
says he ~surmised that an extra session
would be held In August" The Presi-
dent, like Casar's wife, should be shove
suspicion, and the public will not un-
nsturslly think Mr.. J. E. Benedict's
explanation altogether too thin" It
surely Is very remarkable coinci-
dence that a stock-broking firm. of
which the senior member Is most In
timate friend of the President and has
been concerned In stock gambling
operations for his account before,
should suddenly "surmise" that there
would be an extra session in August at
the very time when every paper in the
land was printing the Presidents re-
peated refusal to alter his call for Sep

SOME SANITARY ASPECTS
OF BREAD MAKING.
BIZ cYRus EDISON. Nd.

Health Commissioner, New York City.
1t is necessary, if one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
emit theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men, knowl-
edge which is the result of innumerable
experiments. Being this, the old term
of a theory" has become a misnomer.
A germ of disease is a plant, so small
that I do not know how to express in
telligibly to the general reader its lack
of size. When this germ is introduced
into the blood or tissues of the body, its
action appears to be analogous to that
which takes place when yeast is added
to dough. It attacks certain elements
of the blood or tissues, and destroys
them, at the same time producing. new
substances.
But the germs of the greater part of
the germ diseases, that is, of the infec-
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without be-

The Price Of Wheat.

Kansas City. No.. Journal.
The farmer who reads the commercial
columns of his newspaper and notes
from day to day the continued decline
in the price of wheat and who then
turns to another page and scans the
news columns. teeming with announce
ments of the closing OF workshops
and factories, very naturally asks him
self if anything has been gained by his
latest attempt to reform the country's
politics.
In the beginning of the agitation
which gave the electoral votes OF num-
Der of the republican states OF the west
to the party now in power, every imag-
mary III in sight was attributed to the
republican party as the party OF the
ssplutocrats.'' It was denied that the
law which protected the manufacturer
also protected the farmer by building
up larger and stronger home market
.or his products The only effect OF the
party's policy that could be seen
through the alliance eye, was the en-
richment Of the employer who risked
his money, devoted his energies and
employed his experience in accumulat-
ing and disposing of the products OF
skilled labor, for which he paid prompt
ly and well.
At that time the Kansas farmer never
dreamed. that he would ever be called
upon to sell his wheat at 40 cents a
bushel. He believed himself. so he pro-
fessed, to be the most woefully oppressed
individual on American soil because he
was forced to market his crop at price
that was so per cent. higher than he
can now obtain. He turned for relief to
the Jerry Simpsons, the Dosters, the
Clemenses and their anarchlstlc llk.
There was nothing that could be said by
these freaks of society that did not meet
with favor. No language in denunci-
alton of the party that had made it pos
sible for the majority of them to have
homes of their own was quite severe
enough to fill the measure of their ha-
tired. And they got the change they
asked for-or at least the change which
they secretly hoped for.
Every newspaper quotation OF the
markets of the world to-day tells story
of their folly. The price of wheat is but
a single point in the daily record. 1t is
used to point the moral in this connec-
ton because every farmer from Maine
to California will be able to make the
application at the door of his own
granary.

Then and Now.

During the protective administration
of President Harrison the business In
the country so prospered IS to warrant
an increase of $4,000 business concerns
newly started up, but Notwithstanding
this unprecedented addition to our mer-
camille institutions, the failures during
the last year of his administration were
335 less than in the last year of Presi-
dent Cleveland's first administration, and
the total amount involved in such fail
ures was less than SO, $4,000. Immedi-
ately after the election of President
Cleveland in 1892 came the speedy con-
traction of business and preparation fol-
unknown impending dangers, and the
amounts involved in commercial failures
increased over 200 per cent. in si1
months, comparing the first half Of 1895
with the first half of 1892.

period during which the yeast-mads
dough must stand in order that Tho
starch may ferment and there Is also no
kneading necessary.
| The two materials used IN the Royal
cream Of tarter and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compromising
weights, SO that when chemical action
I, begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both having
been taken up to form the carbonic aeid
gas More than this, the proper method
of using the powder insures the most
thorough mixing with the -four. The
proper quantity being taken, it is mixed
with the -four and stirred around in It.
The mixture is then sifted several times
and this insures that in every part OF
the -four there shall be few PARTICLES
of the powder. The salt and milk or
water being added, the dough is made
up as quickly as possible and moulded
into the loaves.
These are placed in the oven and
baked. But the very moment the
warmth and moisture attack the mixture
of cream of tartar and soda these two
ingredients chemically combine and
carbonic acid or leavening gas is evolved
The consequence may be seen at 8
glance, the bread is raised during the
time it is baking in the oven, and this is
the most perfect of all conceivable
methods of raising it.
! Here, then, there is no chance for
germs of disease to get into the dough
and thence into the stomach, more than
that the bread is necessarily as sweet as
possible, there having been no time dur
ing which it could sour. This involves
the fact that the bread so made Will
keep longer, as it is less likely to be
contaminated by the germs that affect
the souring process.
It will be strange if the crowds of Wis
itors to the worlds fair do not greatly
increase the number of contagious dis
ease, which we will have to treat. Un-
der these circumstances is it not folly OF
follies to open single channel through
which these germs may reach us! Is it
not the part of wisdom to watch with

yeast raised bread, and with this have
shown how that danger may be avoided.
The ounce of prevention which in this
case is neither difficult nor expensive is
certainly worth many pounds of cure,
and the best thing about it is that it
may be relied on almost absolutely.
Those who eat bread or biscuits or rolls
made at home with Royal baking pow
der may be sure they have absolutely
stopped one channel through which dis
ease may reach them.

Cleveland'S Bear Tactics.

Kansas City, Mo-, Journal
The worst sensational bear bulletin
sent out since this silver scare COM
menced was Grover Cleveland's procla-
nation calling an extra session of
congress. It broke more men than any
one thing that has occurred. 1t was a
perfect headline sensation, as our read
ers will remember.
Following this his strikers used every
failure to magnify the calamity he had
started. Every bank failure or suspen-
sion was heralded by the claquers of the
press till people were set wild and runs
melted where such things had been un-
dreamed of.
A few figures will show how this mock
auction, Peter Funk business of stam-
peding the country against silver was
engineered by their methods of exagger-
alton. The number of national banks
in operation when the conspiracy was
sprung was 1857. There are yet in OPP
Grafton, never suspended, 1852. So that
out of this vast number only los were
affected. And since these figures were
compiled large number Of these have
resumed. In Kansas but six banks
closed, in Missouri but three, and one Of
them has resumed and another is get
ting ready to resume.
And yet our president issued that
sensational proclamation. Allthese banks
suspended after its issue and directly, in
consequence of the panic its hysterical
language created. Put the blame where
it belongs-at the door Of Cleveland.

( chanical. The dough, which was before
a close grained mass, is now full of lit
tie holes, and when cooked in this con-
dition is what we ordinarily call light.
This porous quality of the bread enables
the stomach to rapidly and easily digest
it, for the gastric juices quickly soak
into and attack it from all sides. The
fermentation of the dough, however,
uses up portion of the nutrient ele-
ments of the loaf. If it be possible,
therefore, to produce light porous loaf
without this destruction and without the
"kneading" process, which fills the
dough with germs and filth, and without
the long period during which the raising
process goes on, the gain in food and
the gain in the avoidance of the germs is
exceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the dan
gers which attend the use of yeast it is
certain that the vesiculating effect pro-
duced by it on the dough is to the last
degree perfect. It is apparent that if
we are to substitute any other system of
bread making we must have one which
will give us, first, mechanical results
equally as good, that is, that will pro-
duce minute bubbles of carbonic acid
gas throughout the mass of dough.
Now it is in no way difficult to produce
carbonic acid gas chemically, but when
we are working at bread we must use
such chemicals as are perfectly health
full. Fortunately these are not hard to
find.
The evils which attend the yeast
made bread are obviated by the use of
properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lieu of yeast. Baking
powders are composed Of an acid and an
alkali which, if properly combined,
should when they unite at once destroy
themselves and produce carbonic acid
gas. A good baking powder does its

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-The Record this
morning publishes letter from James j.
CorDett, who has been training at Ash
bury Park, n. j.. for a fight with Nit
chell, since August Goth, and who is on
the road in Pennsylvania with one of
Brady's theatrical companies this week,
''softening up Bit" as he says.
Corbett says his daily routine is as fol-
lows: "Rise at 7:30, half-hour in the shell
on the lake. short walk. breakfast at $50,
half-hour at wrist machine, half-hour at
pulley weights, half-hour at punching
bag, half-hour to three-quarters of an
hour wrestling, rub down, lunch at 1880.
rest to l:30, 10-mile walk varied with run
ming, one hour hand ball, half-hour in
the shell, more wrestling, rub down, din
ner at o'clock, billiards or down to the
town of Ashbury in the evening bed at
1890. 1 keep this up every day but Sun
day"
Regarding the chances with Mitchell.
Corbett says: ''I will do my best to win.
l consider Mitchell a very hard man to
beat. He is very intelligent, and versed
in all ring tactics, very strong and full of
endurance. He is not old, in fact. he is
III the prime Ol lie. ne has uOL uISSl-
pated one-tenth as much as the people say
he has. He is the father of four children,
has had oceans of ring experience, and
last, but not least, has the advice of Jack
McAuliffe, the American lightweight
champion, who had splendid chance to
study my style when he seconded John
L. Sullivan against me. He has also the
aid of Jim Hall, the wonderfully clever
middle-weight who spared with me, and
whom l have always given the credit of
being one of the cleverest men ever met.
Mitchell is, no doubt. as clever as 1 am.
So it settles itself down to this: / have
youth, highth and reach on my side;
Mitchell has strength and harder punch
ing ability on his side. l expect him to
fight for my body. also expect the con-
test to be a very long one-say forty
rounds-and the better general will win.
/ think the match will positively take
place at Coney Island. 1 hope to enter
the ring weighing about lS5 pounds"
Corbett said that Jack Dempsey: who
has been training with him, has fully re-
covered from his late illness. He is the
greatest of all fighters of his weight.
