The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1894-12-15

The always fascinating atmos-
phere of stock speculation forms
the subject of Gilmer McKendree's
strong story, "a Deal in Denver"
which is the leading feature of the
December number ofthat sprightly
publication, "Tales from Town Top
ics." The picture of a high-class
New York physician who neglects
his patients and his practice to
plunge into the maelstrom of Wall
street is graphically drawn, and
the story possesses other elements,
both tragic and pathetic, that are
sure to interest the reader from
start to finish. The case of a mur-
der so ingeniously contrived and
skilfully executed as to utterly baf-
fie the police is sufficiently thrill
ing to enchain the attention of the
reader, even without the other
strong elements that IA Deal in
Denver" contains. IA Deal in
Denver" is accompanied by COL
lection of short stories, sketches,
poems and witticisms taken from
ZosOn Topics. The whole makes a
bright volume, especially suited for
an acceptable holiday gift. Town

Gus cures made by DR.. David Ken

brought to public notice lately,
through the various newspaper In

now the standard medicine for the
disease for which 1t is prepared.
DIR. G. H., Ingraham, of Amster-

Remedy for Mrs. Casper Brooks, of

from kidney disease, liberation OF

ness peculiar to her sex; after the
second day, steady improvement
was noted, and, final permanentre
covery. 49,
DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
acts directly upon the kidneys,
liver and blood, in cases of nervous
ness, dyspepsia, rheumatism and
Bright's disease; it has made most
pronounced cures, after all other
treatments have failed. Druggists

One can hardly imagine a more
suitable Christmas gift for an artist
friend than the December number
of The Art amateur. AS it lies
now before us it seems indeed a
treasury of Art, both for the art
student-to whom it is a necessity
-and the general reader. On OPEN
ing it we find two charming color
plates-absolute facsimiles of cost
ly paintings: "a Summer Even
ing" by e. Sanchez Perrier, and
"Purple and Gold" (Pansies,) by
Maud Stumh. Then there is a
very large life study in charcoal,
printed on gray-blue paper, and
eight pages of Working Designs for
China and Glass Paintings, EN-
broidery, Wood Carving, etc. Spe-
cial attention is paid to the need of
those learning to become illustra-
tors. The practical articles also
include "Drapery upon the Hu-
name Figure" "Pen Studies of
Heads" "Flower Drawing in Pen-
and-Ink." "Flower Painting in Oil"
"Flower Painting in Water-C Colors,"
portrait Painting" Landscape
Painting" and "Designing for Lith-
ographers,"-an excellent field.
China Painting is covered by such
expert writers as Mrs. s. s. Track.

Charles Volkmar and G. E. Brady;
and the pages overflow with pretty
designs and artistic fancies. For

"Flowers and Plants in Home

Wrought-Iron Work." and Designs
for Chip-Carving just simple
enough for our manual training
classes. "The Decoration O

are also treated of. Besides all this

THE kind and degree Of mors

THE kind and degree of moral
life in any community depends
very largely on the part taken by
the individual in his function as a
factor of the body-politic. The cit
izen's committee before the council
Tuesday evening disclosed a con-
dition of our morals that should OBJ
tain in no dart of any community,
The fault lies very largely in the
inaction of the citizens themselves
through which such conditions are
allowed to become fixed. Our duty
is to purify the social atmosphere.

The Immigration Evil.

A writer in the american Feder0-
tionist attributes the labor depres-
sion in this country to immigration
and proposes that by shutting off
the home seekers coming from 9TH
er lands the problem will be solved.
This plan would be easy ifit would
work. But the writer's fail to con-
slider that the foreign countries
from which these emigrants are
coming are in as bad or worse con-
dition than ourselves.
There is no question that immi.
grafton has had much to do in re-
cent years in causing the plethora
of workingmenq in this country.
Time was when there were lands
and homes for all who came and
then immigration meant increased
wealth. We had the natural re-
sources and needed muscle to de-
velop them. Today the condition is
changed. There is nothing in this
country to be given away. All the
lines of labor have been filled and
every worker who comes now is a
competitor to. our own working.
men. y. ss1t
Machineryis taking the place OF
muscle and the man who has only
unskilled labor to sell, finds few to
hire him. Production has cheap
ened and increased at a greater
rate than consumption has. Tt is
an unnatural and necessarily tenn
porary condition due to the inabil-
ity of labor to assimulate itsell
promptly to the rapid and radical
change in methods Of production
The restriction of immigration
would help to remedy the disorder
ed condition in this country, but the
real evil lies far deeper. The same
condition exists everywhere. 1t
can not be said that there are toe
many people in the world, yet thai
is the theory upon which the rem
edy Of restricted immigration Il
based. The shutting out of immi
grants would help US only To the
same degree that 1t would injurt
the countries from which they are
accustomed to come.--P Plain Dealer

rope as Well as America.
DENVER, COLORADO, December
1.-two notable speeches on BIZ
metalism were delivered at the
banquet of the Denver Manufacture
ers' Exchange tonight. David
Homles, of Burnley, England, the
Chairman of the Parliamentary
Committee of the Trades Union
Congress Of the United Kingdom,
representing /, 1,25O,OOo wage earners,
speaking to the toast, Bimetallism
and Wage Farmers, said: "Think-
ing men account for the present
trade depression by the apprecia-
tion of gold consequent on demoni-
tization of silver in 1873 and since.
If silver is restored to its former
position it will revive trade and
commerce the, world over. Public
opinion in England has recently
grown rapidly on the subject and
textile workers and Others are CO.
operating with the Bi-Metalic
League. The recent experiment of
the British Government with the
financial and currency question in
India is fat failure, and the In
dian Government is at its wits end
to raise necessarysrevenue. Bimet-
alism will be one important factor
to the next British general election
in 1896, and will be test question
in Lancashire and other constituent
cies for Parliamentary candidates"
Hon. Wharton Baker, of Phila-
delphia, said: "Professors of polit-
ical science in Great Britain, men
in the front rank of Europe and
America, favor bimetallism. The
opposition comes from money lem
ders. The demonstration of silver
has contracted the worlds money
almost one half and appreciated
gold, to the great advantage of the
creditor class and the damage and
rum of the debtor class. The pro-
posed plan of bank currency set
forth in President Cleveland's mes
sage should be opposed by every
citizen who has the welfare of the
people at heart. Bimetalism must
be restored by independent action
by America, and can be whenever
the people are determined to have
| financial as we'll as industrial inde-
pendence; abandon British gold
monometalism as they have done
British free trade; whenever they
know the difference between an
American policy and an alien's pol
icy."
he suggested that America adj
nit silver, from American mines to
coinage upon payment of seignor-
age, absorbing three fourths of the
difference between the London
price and the coinage value, and
that foreign silver be admitted fol
coinage at seigniorage absorbing
all the difference between the Lon.
don price and coinage.
