Let everyone who believes in justice and
fair play, who is friend to the effort now
being made far an adequate volume of
money, and especially members of the
Alliance and Peoples Party, bear in mind
that determined effort is now being made
to repeal the present lawsand prevent the
further use of silver as money. This law
has added $l2O,OOO,O0O of legal tender
money to the circulation Of the country since
July, 1890, and will continue to add about
81 ,000,0 900 each month while in operation.
President Cleveland and Wall street,
together with John Sherman and his kind,
are demanding its repeal. Every banker,
broker, money lender, bond owner, and
aristocrot is petitioning Congress for lis
repeal. Let us all join in a protest Let
every man write his Senator or Congress

Mortgages and Prosperity

As piece of unadulterated Plutocratic
gall, we commend the following quotation
from New York banking paper Of Septem-
Der 1887:
"The Atlanta Constitution says: Nine
tenths of the farms in Ohio are mortgaged,
while in Georgia there are not more than
one-third Of the farmers in the same FIX
Did the editor of the Constitution ever stop
to think that the mortgages were sign of
prosperity. Can the Constitution point to
single prosperous Western State, town, or
city that is not heavily mortgaged? Where
would Chicago be today if it was not for the
Eastern capital loaned on their real estate !?
Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas and, in
fact, every Western State is covered with
mortgages. How do they compare with
Georgia in prosperity? New York, Boston
and Philadelphia capitalists have millions
loaned on Western real estate. How much
have they loaned in Georgia? Although
the farms in Georgia are comparatively
unencnmbered the most prosperous town in
the Stste-Atlaata--is we'll covered. II the
the mortgages on Atlanta property were
pasted together they would form canopy
awning, tent or umbrella sufficient TO con-
ceal the Kimball House. Mortgages and
prosperity are brothers in this country Mr..
Constitution"
The States which are so comfortably
blanketed by these mortgages are now, 1898
reaping the fruit of this sowing. But is
there anything in the realm of fiction to
equal the brazen affrontery of such assump-
ton and assertion, that the way to prosper
is to get into debt and pay out all that self
denying industry can wiring from the soil
and every other source of wealth, in the
form Of interest TO an exploiting class who
have engineered this system of successful
robbery, and then tell their victims they
are the most happy and prosperous beings
On earth?

How to Find Precious Metals

Mr.. Andrew Thompson has made an
instrument resembling in its appear
ance the oil-well locator, which will 10.
cate gold or silver ore This instru-
ment will act on these metals whether
in ore deep in the earth or in the shape
of coin or jewelry. Gold and silver
money was placed on the floor and the
instrument quickly located it. The
coin was then placed high above the
floor and its location was quickly and
accurately determined. 1t was also
tried on gold and silver ore with the
same result. Many inducements have
been offered Mr.. Thompson to disclose
the secret of the little machine, but he
has refused all offers, some of them
very liberal ones. He has selected
well-known resident of the South Side
to whom he intends, before he dies, to
impart the secret of the unattractive-
looking but most potent machine The
gentleman designated to receive this
important trust as yet knows nothing
about the instrument except its effects.
He can handle it with as much dex-
terity as Mr. Thompson, but possesses
no knowledge of the machine other
than that impaired in this article

Over-production.

The Cecil Farmers Club held its
January meeting at the residence OF
Col. John R. Bond last week, and
the essay of the scholarly host treat
ed in part Of over production of ag
ricultural products, ascribing the
primary cause of low prices to over
production of these staples of first
necessity. Before this dogma will
stand unchallenged, there are some
very impressive facts that must be
got out of the way. We will name a
few. In the city of New York alone
there are 100000 to 10000 persons
who do not know where or how their
next meal is to be secured, albeit
their last may have been but half
meal of humblest fare. And there
are twice or thrice as many who are
but thinly clothed and largely in
rags, and shivering for want of fuel
to keep them warm. While such
want, pressing want, of food, cloth
ing and fuel exists, there cannot be
an over production of these things.
which if consumed would satisfy and
relieve this condition of want known
as poverty. The latter condition
contradicts the former, and it is but
superficial reasoning which contends
that an unused product is an over
production. This word 'over pro
duction" has been coined by the
cunning exploiters and put in the
mouth of a credulous public to
instead. No farmer who is the great
sufferer by it should rest till he went
to the very bottom of the subject by
investigation. He would there find
other and very potent causes for that
unused surplus.

However much one may have diff

cannot fail to be interested in the
striking personality of the man, a
personality which possesses a pbe
nomonally intense and universal
interest for the people at large, quite
independent of any immediate con
nection with the questions of the
day. The February Cosmopolitan
presents q careful review of Mr.
Blaine's characteristics as a man and
statesman, prepared by Mr.. T. q.
Crawford, and illustrated by numer
Gus sketches of his home, and famous
cartoons apropos of striking phases
of his political career. Curiously
enough, this is found side by side
with General Badeau's sketch OF
Lord Beaconsfield. Badeau, when
Secretary of Legation, was acquaint
ed with Disraeli, and the alternately
bizarre and magnificent political
figure cut by this extraordinary man
is described in a most readable
manner. The second article in the
series of the "Great Railway Systems
of the United States also appears
in this number, the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, with its more than ten
thousand miles of track being treat
ed. The story is told of its early
beginnings, of the autocratic power
welded by its managers over more
than one.quarter of our territory.
Few people not living on the line of
this road have any conception of its
marvellous Importance. A delightful
Japanese story, "Toki Murata," and
a jeu d. esprit entitled June, $685."
from the pen of Julian Hawthorne,
are unusually entertaining; the flying
machine has never given opportunity
for wittier, and at the same time
more valuable speculation than Mr..
Hawthorne's. The making Of beet
root sugar is one of the rapidly
growing interests on the North
American continent, but the first
time in magazine literature it is here
thoroughly explained in every
process, helped out by photographs
of the seed, the roots. the method of
cultivation and the most improved
machinery for conversion into sugar.

Telephone Patents Running Out.

Within few months the patents
upon which the telephone monopoly
is built will have expired, and com
petition, with lower rates, will per.
haps haye become practicable. On
Friday last the Blake transmitter.
which transmits messages over the
line wire, became public property.
On March 7th She main patent issued
to Bell, covering the fundamental
princip'e--the transmission of speech
electrically over q wire-expires,
and at the same time the first patent
Tor receiver" expires There was
a second patent for an improvement
on the "receiver,' which will not
expire till January 30th, 1894, but
practically the right to make, sell
and use fairly seryiceable telephones
will become common property during
the present year. The fact may be
expected to prove beneficial to the
public. which has been paying ex-
cessive prices for the use of the
patented instruments, In other
countries, where our laws do not
apply, telephone service is vastly
cheaper than among US. The Geld
for competition opened by the
expiration Of patents is to De occu
pied, it is stated, by various rival
companies. When instruments,
costing altogether not over S. rent
for $75 or 500 a year, there is
evidently a margin of profit that
will tempt capital. At a rental of
$40 or SIS Il year there should be a
large demand for instruments, even
though they are no better than those
IN use in 1877.
There are predictions. however, to
the effect that the public will not
alter all profit by the expiration OF
the earlier Bell patents. The
monopoly, the argument runs, is now
too strong to be contended with. If
forced to meet rivals low rates it
will do so, and then after a war of
rates it wild, in the usual manner,
buy up or ruin its rival -BaHo San
The United States is the worst
monopoly ridden nation in the world,
and the people submit to the abuse
as quietly as lambs. If the power
to relieve themselves was taken from
them they would fairly raise Cain
with complaining.

Splitting a Second,

An instrument has been constructed
in Berlin, Prussia, by which the l, OO0th
part of a second can be measured and
registered. The instrument is very
large and is so heavy that six horses
were recently required to transfer it
from one part of the workshop to an
other.
The instrument, is intended for use
in the measurement of the velocity of
cannon balls. The diameter of the dial
is 10 feet, and the hand, which makes
five revolutions each second, is 4 feet
long, its point travelling about 40 feet
at each revolution.
The mechanism of the contrivance
is similar to that of a large tower clock.
The speed of the revolving hand is so
great that the hand can not be seen
when it is in motion, and it is photo
graphed automatically as is the cannon
ball whose speed it is required to meas
ure.
When the balls discharged from the
cannon it passes through wire netting,
and at certain distance through another
netting. These nettings unlock and lock
the conductors of an electric instan-
taneous Photographic apparatus.
The position of the hand of the in
strument at the instant the ball leaves
the cannon, and again when it reaches
certain point, can be read from the
photographs.
The movement is controlled by an
electric connection with a pendulum
regulator, which exactly registers the
time consumed by the cannon ball in
its travel, measuring one-thousandth of
a cond.-Jewellers' Weekly.

MIXED METAPHORS.
An Example of Gross Errors, Ancient
and Modern.

An Example of Gross Errors, Ancient
and Modern.
Almost every one who writes many
sentences even in q familiar and episto-
larry way employs certain figures of
speech. 1t is habitual and instructive
to make use of words in metaphorical
sense, that is, to set forth thought
and make plain q meaning by bringing
in a sensible object or suggesting
visible act which bears some resem-
blance to it.
Often we become so thoroughly ac-
customed to the use of a term in it's
metaphorical sense that we forget that
it has a sensible or material meaning
apart from the figure of speech, and
when we forget this we are in danger of
mixing orr metaphors
When Sir Boyle Roche made his IA
nous speech, Il smell a rat L see him
floating in the air but mark me, sir,
I will nip him in the bud," his ideas
were clear enough, but he lost sight of
rats, air and buds in the thought that
was in his mind.
If the reader could also lose sight of
them, this passage might perhaps ap-
pear eloquent. But they obtrude them
selves very humorously upon the
mind.
The following was the peroration of
an orator at political meeting not
long ago:
THE time has come when we must
leave off voting for ornamental princi-
pies and vote to put bread and butter
in our pockets y
A scarcely less mixed up series of
metaphors than Sir Boyle's was recently
employed by a newspaper in an Ameri-
can city. Several Aldermen had been
accused of accepting brides, and the
newspaper said, with reference to the
affair:
1T is reasonable to expect that such
OF his associates as are innocent of such
crime will leave no stone unturned to
purge themselves OF all suspicion, and
exhaust every expedient to smoke the
rascals out Youths Com panion.
