CASTING THE LleERTY BELL.
MoreThan Six Tons of Mstel Utilized
In its Make-un.

MoreThan Six Tons of Mstel Utilized
in its Makeup,
Wednesday the metal for the
great Liberty bell to be exhibit
ed at the worlds fair wss run in
to the mould prepared for it's
reception in the Bell Foundry
at Troy N. Y. The big mould
was placed in pit dug in the
earth Immediately in front Of the
furnace, with which it was con-
nected BY a spout for the transfer
of the more thansix tons of metal
that will be utilized in its make
up. The two iron cases that form
the skeleton Of the mould would
I fill good-si2ed poam. This is
1.-the third great liberty bell cast
lin this country. The first Of the
series, and the one to which the
greatest interest attaches, is the
famous bell that rang forth from
the belfry Of the old state house
in Philadelphia the news Of the
signing of the Declaration Of
independence in July, !776.
In the centennial year, 1873, a
Fbe,l weighing $4,000 pounds was
cast and hung in the tower of the
old state house in the place of the
hold bell. Like the old bell, ii
has cast upon 1t, In circle about
| tho iron, the inscription: "Pro.
Iclaim liberty throughout the land
Eunto all the Inhabitants thereof"
! This bell is still in daily use as
an adjuncS to the clock in the
tower Of Independence Hall, as the
old state house is now called.
The third bell, that cast today
will be an exact reproduction oi
the second as to size, weight, etc.
but with a different incription,
The new bell will be an object 0.
great interest, as it will contain
in its composition thousands OF
historical relics. The daughters
of the revolution have been busy
for months collecting an endless
assortment of historic bits of meta
that have been melted down with
the bell metal.

Some Silver Facts.
To the Editor of the Ledger.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
Mexico, Mo-, August 19.-Ihere
is no need to be disturbed by the
agitation that affects some souls over
the anticipated unconditional repeal
of the Sherman act. There is no
present danger of anything of that
sort. The bill that is being debated
in the House known as the Wilson
or Administration Bill, even if pass
ed, will not repeal the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act without
ploviding for both silver dollars and
certificates as legal tender money.
Neither will it legislate against coin
ing silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. 1t
is the Bland substitutes therefore
coming from the staunchest funds
of silver that propose voting on that
and other ratios until one is reached
that can command a majority vote.
The President in his message inter
mates that refraining from ratio-leg-
islation will help to bring about in
ternational concurrence in the use Of
gold and silver in coming binetallic
standards, and no doubt the Presi-
dent has good grounds for his opin-
ion, but delay suits neither the bime-
tallists nor free coinage folk nor the
! miners. All these want ratio es-
tablished at once and are willing to
take any that can be agreed on.
What is pertinent, therefore, is con-
sideration of the effect of adopting
20 to 1, as that seems most likely
to prevail if any alteration takes
place.
/ First. 1t would endorse silver dol.
lars and silver certificates as aegal
tender money and prevent demone.
tization of them.
! Second. 1t would satisfy the
miners, as, instead OF receiving 70t
per ounce for silver, they would gel
1O3.
Third. Free coinage of silver a,
that ratio would supply coin and
certificates for circulation that would
be more acceptable than bank notes
and at the same time protect gold
and keep it from being exported.
Fourth. 1t would create larger de-
mand for cotton and wheat.
Fifth. 1t would prevent contrac
rtion of the currency without infat
ing it. DEMOCRAT.

Work and dust-begrimmed,
! they make their mute appeal, They
hear of average wealth increased on
every side and feel the inequality Of
lis distribution. They see an over
production of everything desired be-
cause of the underproduction Of the
ability 10 buy. They cannot pay
for loyalty except with their sui
frages, and can only punish betray-
al with their condemnation. Al
though the ones who most deserve
the fostering care of Government,
their cries for help too often beat in
vain against the outer wall, while
others find ready access to legislative
halls.
This army, vast and daily vaster
growing, begs the party to be lis
champion in the present conflict. 1t
cannot press its claims amid sounds
OF revelry. Its phalanXes do not
form IN grand parade, nor has ii
gaudy banners floating on the
breeze. Its battle hymn is "Home,
Sweet Home" its war cry Equal
ity before the law" To the Demo
cratic party, standing between these
two irreconcilable forces, uncertain
to which side to turn, and conscious
that upon its choice lis fate depends,
come the words of Israel's second
lawgiver: "Choose you this day
whom you will serve" What will
the answer be? Let me invoke the
memory of him whose dust made
sacred the soil of Monti cello when
he joined
The dead but sceptered sovereigns who still rule
Our spirits from their urns.
He was called a demagogue and
his followers a mob, but the immor-
tai Jefferson dared to follow the best
promptings of his heart. He placed
man above matter, humanity above
poverty, and, spurning the bribes of
wealth and power, pleaded the cause
of the common people. 1t was this
devotion to their interests which
made his party invincible while he
lived and will make his name rever-
ed while history endures. And what
message comes to us from the Her
mitage? When crisis like the
present arose and the national bank
of his day sought to control the pol
itics of the nation, God raised up an
Andrew Jackson, who had the cour-
age to grapple with that great
enemy, and by overthrowing it, he
made himself the idol of the people
and reinstated the Democratic party
in public confidence. What will the
decision be to-day? The Demo-
cratic party has won the greatest
success in history. Standing upon
this victory-crowned summit, will it
turn its face to the rising or the set
ting sun? VIII it choose blessings
or cursings-life or death-which?
Which?

Poultry and Bee Notes.


Chickens like sweet milk better
than sour.
Skim milk is as good for hens as
it is for pigs.
1t is a good plan to move the
coops occasionally in hot weather.
Study the demands of the poul-
try market and cater to the demand.
Giving too much sloppy food to
young chickens often causes scours.
The fowls need plenty of pure,
fresh air and clean, cool water this
hot weather.
If it is eggs instead of fat you
want, feed the hens wheat and
other egg producing food instead Of
fat producing feed.

ers' Association will hold its Oath

dence of 0. J. Cummings, two miles

OPPOSED TO A GOLD STANDARD.
Hon.A.B. Tinsley, Of Thompson, Writes
His Views ON the Presidents
Message.
From the Cehtralia Courier

In reply to letter of inquiry as
to how he liked President Cleve-
lands message, Hon. A. B. Tinsley,
one of the oldest and most thorough
ly grounded Democrats in Audrain
county, writes the Courier as follows;
My opinion of the Cleveland mes
sage is that it is a plea for a single
gold standard.
1t is plain to my view that the
war made ON silver by such men as
Sherman, Cleveland, ,and Wall street,
is the cause and only cause OF the
financial panic, and the fall of silver
in price and the rise of gold. To
demonetize silver is to destroy one
half of the real money of the coun-
try and double the debts of the debtor
class.
1t is contended that silver would
destroy our trade with England.
Why does England monopolize the
trade of Mexico that has little else
but silver?
England will have to buy our
meat and bread, silver or no silver.
Cleveland says nothing about the
silver bullion on hand. OF course
that is to be sacrificed.
| do not believe that Cleveland
will stand upon the platform upon
which he was elected on the silver
question. This will throw contempt
upon our Republican form of Gov
ernment, for, if the people cannot
get man to do what he was elected
to DO, it argues bad for Republican,
ism.
The single gold standard forces
want large national banks. This is
the monopoly principle that jack
son vetoed.
The conference with other nations
on the silver question is conarary to
Washington's advice, he warned us
against entangling alliance with
other nations.
| have grave forbodings of the fu-
ture and look with horror upon the
political prospects.
