The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1893-08-31

lieve in regard to free coinage, we
have right to see the clouds roll
by and out of our financial sky. A
famous physician announced that
he acted on the principle that
"conceit can kill and conceit can
cure.' As the conceit exists that
the silver purchasing bill made
our trouble, let us believe that it's
repeal will bring relief. The east
ern bankers already proclaim that
better days have come. Let us all
so hope and believe. Time tests
all opinions and all theories. Let
us hope that the remedy will work
complete relief, Notwithstanding
previous doubts.
Hon. Ig'a'ius Donnelly has made 4
good suggt stion which we hope will
receive ate, tion. He suggests that a
special session Of the Legislat ure Of
his State be called to devi:e a proper
and practicable way of supplying work
for the unemployed. The st. Paul
News suggests that public WORKS now
greatly needed be built ut once, that
counties and municipalities be authori'
z'd to undertake the same, and to issue
some form Of credit certificates which
would be received gladly in payment.
The credit Of the State is good. Public

other property. The people are able to
care for the temporarily unemployed
aud can better afford to give work
rather than to dole out aims. The
policy of the Frence Empire, in times
of commercia! panic, was to make work
for the unemployed and thus allay
popular discomfort and riotous demon

is worthy of attention.

A fine illustration of the intelligence
of the horse is given by the Scientific
Americans: "Recently u New Jerse!
farmer, while passing along the stree

had been stolen from his barn last win

farmer turned, and there, sure enough

hitched to butchers wagon. Tn
horse had recognized his master, an.

farmer recovered his property and th
thief was arrested.
The Savings Banks in New York ar
beginning to pay depositors, as the 8

deposits are not demanded to a ruinou
amount it will show that confidence /,
the banks has been restored, and tina
the panic is we'll nigh over. If thes
depositors are wise they will let tn
money market become easier by no
removing it from circulation.
