INGENIOUS ARGUMENT,
Horses and Ponies Compared to Sill
YER md Gold.

Horses and Ponies Compared to Sill
and Gold.
To the Editor.
l have seen so many arguments against
the free coinage of silver at the original
ratio of Is to l, that 1 wish to present a
theory which is not original, as I got the
main idea from Gen. Weaver's speech at
Exposition hall two years ago; but 1 have
changed it somewhat, as to be palmer
if that be possible, than Gen. Weaver was.
Suppose you had 80 Shetland ponies and the
extra trouble to take care of them, the food
thay consumed and other expenses as
against the work they could do, equaled the
food, expenses and trouble; as against the
work that two draft horses could do That
is, that after deducting for all expenses in
handling 16 Shetands would be Just as
profitable to keep as one draft horse. Now,
if there was a law designating Shetland
ponies and draft horses as the only animals
to be used for work of any kind without
discrimination against either does it not
stand to reason that 16 Shetlands would sell
for the same price as one draft horse?
Now, if the legislature passed law that
where more than two horses or 80 ponies
were necessary at once horses were only to
be used, so that those owning only Shetland
ponies, in order to secure work where more
Shetlands for draft horses. Now, if by law
draft horses were favored in this way, is it
not natural that it would be but a short
time before everybody would want to get
rid of their Shetlands, and consequently it
would take more than 16 Shetlands to pro-
cure one draft horse, and consequently
draft horses would increase in price. If the
law had been passed in favor of the Shet-
land ponies their price would have in
creased, SO that it would take more than
fyIyn Ir1f hoy TO C1,@%1,
Now, in either of these cases, would it not
be the command of the government that
would fix the value of these horses?
If we apply this same reasoning to gold
and silver will easily see why silver has
deprecated compared with gold. If we
will only get rid of this notion of the in
trinsic value of money, we can easily see
why silver will jump to it's former price
of 100 cents on the dollar Tor more correctly
$1.29 per ounce as bullon), the minute you
throw open the minis to it,.

There are u great m a ny
things with which we come in
contact in this wnyward life,
that are unpleasant, unrea
sonable and disgusting. and
one Of these things with which
we come in contact in every
day life and which to me is
possessed of the three disa-
greeable natures above men,
toned. is our present road
system, or the manner in
which our roads are to be
be made and kept up.
Each division of roadia as.
signed 40 many hands and
an oversrer is compelled to
spoil a day in notifying his
men whpii the road will he
worked, and when the ap-
pointed time rolls around he
is compelled to do the hard
eat lays work of any man on
the road, lest he loses u weeks
time in listening to what A
B or e has to say about the
hard times, the tariff, the sill
YER question and the deficien-
cy If the present wise admin
istratiOn. The road working
day seeems to he regarded as
Il day set apart for the dis
|cussion of these topics which
is ably (?) done. rhen it is
almost unanimously decided
that the administration is
the cause of the hard times.
But the overseer being dis
J gusted at this unreasonable
arguments and at the slow
progress being made on his
road, is enabled to see at
: once that it is not the ruling
! of Grover that causes t h e
J hard times. 1t is inertia ON
: the part of 80 many of our
} people. If we were more ac-
tive at our homes, on o. VI
: farms, in our business affairs
/. and on our road working
: days, doubtless we would en-
: Joy different results and have
, less time and room to- coyu

John L. Knocked Out by His Wife.
John L. Sullivan has been
knocked out again. This
time it is not d rival pugi-

1t all occurred early Sunday
morning. The ex-chalnpion
was laid out SO clean and
cold that it took i doctor a
whole hour to bring him to.
1t seems that after the show
was over at the Court Street
Theatre Saturday night John
L. proceeded to have a" good
time and to "whoop 'em up
a few" John kept up the
gait until neatly 3 O'Clock,
when he took a cab to the

could do to reach his room
with the assistance of a hotel
porter. Soon after a great
racket was heard, and Sulli-
van was foufid unconscious
on the floor of his room. A.
mid hysterical tears, Mrs.
Sullivan said John L. had
abused her and in self-defense
she had picked up an Indian
club which was used in train
ing and tapped him over the
heal. 1t was harder than
she intended and John l..
went to sleep. All were pledgI
ed to secrecy, but the story
leaked out. Mrs. Sullivan, it
is said, was once a 'strong
(woman," who swung clubs
and lifted heavy Weights.
