this brainless fellow did give vent
to. Were these simple words ut
tered because the Judge at one
time had to reprimand him for his
indiscretion? Certainly that and
nothing more. In the first place
why refer to Judge Slough's re-
nomination, when it is yet three
years off? Why refer to his health
when he is one of the most robust
men in Lancaster? Why refer to
the fear that he could not be elect
ed, when all concede that he is one
of the best judges we ever had in
this District, and one of the most
popular with the best people of
both parties. If Judge Slough lives
until nomination time again rolls
around and he will accept re-
nomination, he will not only get
the nomination but he will be tri-
umphantly elected and that too
without opposition.

THE disastrous condition of af-
fairs that confronts us is the result
of the long practice of Il fallacious
economic theory.
The total assessed wealth of the
nation in 1850, after long period
of Democratic administration of
the Government, was eight billion
dollars, and five of these eight bill
lions were farm values.
In 1860, the total assessed wealth
OF the country had risou to sixteen
billions and the farmers share in
it was seven billions-a fair enough
proportion.
In 1870, after ten years of tariffs;
first war tariffs, and then protec-
tive tariffs, an idea derived from
them; the total assessed wealth of
the country had risen to thirty bill
lions and the farmers share in it
was only eleven billions.
In 1851, the farmers valuation OF
the country's wealth was only 10
billions Of the forty-five billions.
And in 1890, out of the total as
sessed wealth for the nation of Co.
0000O0.000, the farmers's valuation
amounted to only 16,O00,000,000
subject 10 mortgage Indebtedness
of 6,OOO,O0O,O0O.
These figures show more clearly
than words can do the drifting of
the country's wealth into the hands
of the people of those sections Of
the country which are so distinct
ly favored under the ill-advised
protective tariff system.

The Cost of Delay.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The senators are not doing their
full duty in giving only four hours
"A day to the discussion of the tariff.
They should devote at least ten
hours day to this question and
condense their speeches. Our mer-
chants and manufacturers are
awaiting impatiently to see the
tariff disposed of. The delay holds
back the spring trade, and thOus-
ands of workingmen are drifting
in the direction of starvation. Any
tariff, good or bad, would be better
than all this delay and uncertain
ty.
Millions of our people are anX-
ious to settle down to business and
get to work, but until something is
done with the tariff they feel that
it is unsafe to risk much in their
commercial and industrial vent
ures.
If the senators thoroughly un-
derstood the condition of affairs in
this country they would hold day
and night sessions until they set
tied the tariff issue one way or the
other. Whether the Importance of
the tariff is exaggerated or not
makes no difference. The fact re-
mains that every great business
interest Is waiting for the settle.

we get it out of the way can we ex-

Facts For the Farmer.
Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In 1875 wheat was worth SLIP a
bushel. In 1885, after tenlyears of
the demonetization of silver, it was
worth SO cents bushel, and in 1894
it is worth 81 cents a bushel. In
1875 silver was worth $l.24 an
ounce. In 1885 it was worth $1.06
an ounce. After ten years of the
demonetization of silver and after
seven years of the coinage of silver
under the Bland bill, by which it
was made commodity and not
money metal, silver steadily de-
creased in about the same proper
tion as wheat down to 1890, when
the Sherman law was passed, but
it was no longer a money metal
even under the Sherman law. 1t
was simply commodity, purchas-
ed and stamped nnder limited coin
age, and, of course, it steadily de-
creased until, in 1894, it was worth
60 cents per ounce, and even now
is worth only SO cents. Thus, it is
seen how evenly the decline in
wheat and the decline in silver has
kept pace, when both were meas
ured with gold.
Before the demonetization of sill :.
yer down to 1885 this country had
foreign demand for silver of
about $2O,0O0,00O per year. This
represented purchasing power
abroad of about $2OO,OOO,OOO every
ten years Most of this silver that
was shipped abroad was sent to
India and China from England. II
to the place of gold, bought just as
much or paid just as much debt as
the same amount of gold would
have paid. 1t all came out of the
ground just the same as wheat,and
represented surplus of silver that
was not wanted in this country.
When England began to put a
price upon the silver produced In
the United States, she kept con-
stantly decreasing the price, until
it was brought down to its lowest
point of go cents per ounce. Eng
land also prices the wheat of this
country, because she uses silver to
bup wheat in India, which she
brings back to England; her mer-
chants exchange it for gold; then
they buy American silver and send
it to India, and thus cut off the pur.
chase of American wheat and fost-
er the raising Of wheat in India.
This may be shown. more plainly
by the following facts than in any
other way; In 1878 England i'm
ported from India 73O,486 bushels
of wheat. In 1892 she imported

THE Democrats in the nous

The Democrats in the house,
weary of the tilibustering tactics of
the Republicans, have about come
to the conclusion to count quor-
um in the future when sufficient
number of congressman are pres
ent whether they vote or not. This
is Il sensible decision. just a few
records of "present, but refused to
vote," would do more to assure the
defeat of an obstructionistic con-
gresham for reelection than u
dozen open charges of boodling.
And defeat is, after all, the only
form of rebuke that will penetrate
the moral skin of the average pac-
hydermalous member of the lower
house.-Chicago Times.

That Judiciol Ripper.

GAINESVILLE Signal.
The partisan enormity of the
Lscke judiciary bill, introduced in
the Ohio house on Monday, ought
to be fully understood by all fair
minded people in the State, regard
less of party bias and afflliation. 1t
is quite true that such knowledge
will not prevent the passage of the
measure, but it will give the. peo-
pie pretty fair idea of the lengths
to which the Republican leaders
will go wheD the opportunity pre-
sents itself. 1t requires three
fourths majority of the members
elect of both houses to change the
State judiciary.
All previous changes were made
not by a party vote, but by a con-
current vote of both parties, and
have always been made when the
two parties were quite evenly bal
anced in the legislature. The result
has been fair judicial districting
and the preservation of the rights
of the minority in every section of
the State when it came to the elec-
tion of the judges of the courts.
But this year the Republicans
have the requisite majorities in the
two houses. and the leaders of the
party propose to seize the entire
judicial machinery of the State as
part of the political spoils. They
proceed to drag the ermine in the
mire of partisan politics.
The scheme in it's entirety is wor-
thy of the most abandoned politi-
cal buccaneer of the nineteenth
century and in it's execution will
degrade the judiciary of Ohio be-
low that ofany other State or coun.
try in Christendom.
The bill fixes the number of com
mon please judges at sixty-nine.
And how many Democratic judges
do you imagine it is possible for
the 100000 Democrats of Ohio to
elect under this gerrymander.?
Just six all told. The normal
strength of the two parties in Ohio
is Democrats 100000, Republicans
100000, and yet the legislature pro-
poses to so gerrymander the State
that the 100000 Democrats shall be
able to elect but six judges dt most
while the 100000 Republicans shall
be able to- elect sixty-three.
In other words, under the Locke
bill, it will require $4,000 Demo
cratic votes to elect common
pleas judge and but $500 Republi-
can votes to elect one. The vote
of each Republican in the State is
made to count as much MS the votes
of ten Democrats, thus practically
disfranchising nine-tenths of the
Democratic voters of the State.
There have been shameless ger
rymanders of Congress in Ohio, but
the worst of them was fairness it.

gerrymander.

house of representatives and to use
all honorable means for its imme-
diate passage, have received the
following reply:
United States Senate,
Washington, d. c., April 13, 1894.
James b. Sherwood, Esq, Secre-
tary Young Mems Democratic Club
Canton, o.: l have yours of recent
date inclosing preamble and reso-
lutions adopted by your organiza-
tion on the Goth ult, calling upon
me "to vote for the Wilson bill as
it came from the house of represen-
tatives," etc.
To comply strictly with this re-
quest would mean to vote to retain
the Mckinley bill in force. The
Wilson bill as it came from the
house Of representatives has been
entirely cut to pieces and reframed
by the senate subcommittee. It
reached a condition in which it
was impossible for it to pass. The
general depression in business in
terests is such that I am anxious
for the speedy passage of tariff
bill, and above all things do not
want such failure to pass a bill
as will leave the Mckinley bill in
force. prefer to stand strictly on
the Democratic platform of 1892
tariff for revenue. My desire is
that such bill should be framed
as will get forty-three votes in the
senate and, therefore, pass. / think
the necessary votes will be secured
and feel more sanguine now than
at any time heretofore for the pas
sage of the bill.
Feeling that the present business
depression must be removed as
speedily as possible by the passage
of some bill and that the Demo-
cratic party could not possibly run
the risk of allowing the Mckinley
bill to remain on the statute books.
/ have taken an active interest in
endeavoring, first, to get such a bill
framed as will insure it's passage
by commanding forty-three votes.
Subordinate to that it is my desire
that the bill when passed shall also
be as beneficial as possible to the
country and shall also be as help
full as possible to the Democratic
party. My own desire is to stand
strictly on the Democratic plat
form of 1892, for which the Ohio
delegation at Chicago voted with
out a dissenting vote, but as all
tariff bills are more or less matters
of compromise, | will be satisfied
with whatever concessions may be
made if we can insure the passage
of the bill. There are powerful in
fluences now atwork trying to keep
the Mckinley bill on the statute
books and 1 hope our friends in
Ohio will not aid in this.
Truly yours,
