One of the greatest, if not the greatest,
questions in our civilization is this: What
shall be our permanent system of finance
"a system which shall last as long as
the flag shall float? 1t is the question
uppermost in all minds. The world has
learned that money is the creature of
law and not the product of nature, and
hence each nation must make its own,
determine the material out of which it
shall be made, and if of metal the
weight and fineness which will best
serve to keep it at home. The govern.
ment must make all and issue all of our
money Of whatever kind. Our silver
must be restored, every vestige of the
fraud Of 1873 swept from our statute
books and Gods bounty to the new
world liberated and poured into the laps

fOr'sale by Druggist H. f. Smith Of
this place. In almost every neigh
borhOod throughout the west there
are some one or more persons whose
lives have been saved by this remedy.
1t is natural for such persons to take
especial pleasure in recommending
the remedy TO Others. The praise
that follows its introduction and use
makes it immensely popular. While
it is intended especially for collie,
cholera mOrbuS, dysentery and diar-
rhoea, it is also claimed to cure chron-
ic diarrhOea. If such be the case it
is certainly a "GOdsend" to many a
poor mortal.

Who Has the Increase?

During the 80 years ended in 1880 the
net product of our manufactures in
creased over 400 per cent. But this
wonderful increase, instead of lifting
the masses in vertical line, has lifted
the upper crust to higher and better
planes, while it has cramped and pressed
down to lower levels the masses be-
meath. Thus it appears that the labor
er under the modern system sees himself
filling the world with wealth and at
the same time living in want" The
middle class, the moral safeguard of
every community, crushed out by the
competition of the billionaires, is rapid
ly diminishing. Hon. Walter B. Hill in

hardness in the matter is probably due
in part to the desire to get a net OF
American make which, in the great

that the result of the coming attack

the selection Of some pattern for manu-

With all these appliances the atten'
ton given to submarine warfare IN the
near future will be very marked The
real value Of the underwater gun be-
comes the more important to ascertain
inasmuch as it might perhaps be used
to advantage on the submarine boat
which it is proposed to construct. 1t
could also be mounted on rams, and
perhaps increase their effectiveness,
since it could be discharged when
within range and followed up by the

1t was the imperial guard. Before the
shock of that mighty wave the Rus

wrecks.
When Yakovitch came to his senses
and opened his eyes, he heard the

tention to a group of gavly dressed Off
GERS, and Napoleon's staff came riding
over the field The young Russian
peered anxiously into their faces, and
thus describes what he saw:
There were the hard faces of Rapp
and Darn and br~oad-chested Sebastian
and Nansouth, with the saber scar
across his cheek, and the low, broad
forehead and bulldog jaw OF grim old
Ney, the bravest of them all. There,
too, was Murat, with his white plumes
and his braided jacket, his riding whip
in his hand, just like a circus rider.
And then the group parted sudden
ly. and there was the man himself in
the midst of them. with his face hard
and immovable as marble amid all that
blood and agony, and a far-away look
in those cold gray eyes Of his, as if he
saw Moscow somewhere up in the sky.

waving his hand. What a stir there'll
be among the good folks in Paris when
the bulletin arrives
"'We've lost half our army in doing
1t. though growled Ney. Hadn't we
better fall back a little and wait there
for relnforcements?'
Then Napoleon turned his head
slowly, just as the statue might do. and
looked him in the face.

MILL FROM ONE STRAW.
A Man Who Can Make One in a Quarter
of an Hour.

A Mar Who Can Make One in a Quarter
of an Hour.
Straw has been used over and over
again to play with. It has been plated,
twisted, woven, made into mats and
pin-cushions, until it seemed as though
nothing else could be done with it.
But here is a worthy man with a mill
made out of one rye-straw such as no
one ever thought of before. We have
had the prisoner who made a watch
completely out of many straws; but
who ever before thought of making a
machine, however humble, out of a
single straw
He takes a rye stem, and from the
bottom cuts off eight inches for his
blowpipe. He then cuts off from the
same end seven inches. This piece he
cuts in half, and then proceeds to split
and twist these SO as to get the wheel.
He then cuts off a yard of the remain
ing stem, and folds it SO as to obtain
the isosceles triangle with a base of
five inches, and this he closes by thrust
