The Tri-Cfty Street Railway system. and

The city of Boston has one of the
largest. if not the largest system
of electric motors in the coun-

quite up to date in its intramural

that the tri-cities are ahead of the

past years of certain electrical heat

unsatisfactory. But the first of this
month the West End road ordered an
Albany company to equip l49 cars
with a patented system of electrical
heating. This is an entirely different
patent from the one previously ex-
perimented with in this city, and it
is safe to say that If the new heaters
are satisfactory the number will be
at once increased. AS has been
stated before in the Journal, the ex-

IT now seems as if the SignaL will

a share, also the Holgate Repiew,

ed, as he claims to be better Repub-
lican than Russell, and we guess he is.
So it will be seen, Sheriff-elect Pen

on beds of roses. But the Signal will
not easily be outdone, Bro. Russell
has his thinking cap on, and who
knows but that he may carry the
matter to the Legislature and ask
that Republican body to enact a law
requiring the Sheriff sales to be pub

Democracy is as vigorous as it was in

that the tariff is tax levied upon
the many for the benefit of the few.
The fact that Ohio has recently in
dorsed McKinleyism by majority of

ened the "Old Romans" convictions
on the tariff question. His devotion
to Jefferson principles is too firmly
established to be affected by the
varying phases of public opinion.

Carrying the Flag Abroad.

Our flag not only tells of our ex.
istence, but it is symbol of all that
American institutions represent. 1t
is glorious and patriotic to uphold our
flag and to follow and defend it, but
it is also glorious and patriotic to
carry our flag to all parts of the world
and to extend it's defense and protec-
tion to American men and American
property in the ports of every nation.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
| Those are patriotic sentiments.
Every American will indorse them.
To make the flag respected abroad it
must be respected and made strong
at home. All power symbolized by
! the flag must be in the government
itself. And what is the government
in this country? 1t is just what the
people are--no more, no less. If the
people are prosperous, if they are
kept steady a. work and there is a
profit from their work, if there is u
broad intelligence and strong love
of the government then the flag ex-
presses all this power. Merchant
ships mean the production Of iier-
chandise, If we do not produce at
home how can we carry things abroad?
The very foundation of a merchant
marine is a large productiveness at
home from farms, from mines, from
shops, rolling mills and factories.
To maintain these great industries
and to have a surplus beyond what is
needed for home consumption which
can be carried abroad and exchanged
for money or products of other coun-
tries, requires suitable volume of
money on which the business can be
done. 1t requires an increasing vol
ume of money, not fixed quantity
which shall act as a curtailment of
business when business increases;
hence it is necessary that we should
have an elastic monetary system.
The history of this world shows plain
ly that the approved system of elastic
currency is based upon the free coin
age of gold or silver, not one to the
exclusion of the other, but both alike.
By free coinage there is constantly
increasing volume of money and no
increase IS possible except as it comes
from labor and skill, and such increase
has never been greater than the needs
and the growth of business and popu-
lation. France maintains Sal per
capita, about equally divided between
gold and silver. She maintains the
most healthy trade, industry and
commerce of any country in the world
To-day she is the richest country in
the world because she keeps her peo.
pile at work. There is no land where
all the people are so constantly in
dustrious as in France and it is due
to very great extent upon the vol
ume of money that is in circulation.
Now this has direct bearing upon
the glory of our flag for that would
be an empty glory if the flag did not
represent an industrious, prosperous
and powerful -, :on. The best way
to introduce men to build a merchant
marine is to have policy for indus
try and money that will foster all in
dustries and stimulate the people to
produce more than they want to CON

OLD JOHN SHERMAN, one of the no
blest of all the Republicans, is not
fully satisfied with the recent seem,
ing victory for his party, and is not
backward in sounding the following
alarm, which goes to show that he
has not much faith in his party being
capable of handling the victory salts
factory to the people:
However, l am not inclined to
claim that the victory will be perma-
ment. The people may become as
displeased with the Republicans be-
fore many years, and administer to
them as crushing defeat as they
have administered to the Democrats
this year. l would certainly not at
tempt to forecast what is to come of
this revolution. The people punish
ed the Republicans in 1890 and 1892
and now they have changed. To say
they cannot or are not likely to turn
back again is to make a stronger
statement than | would care to ven
ture.n

Free Silver JingIes.

Some big newspapers Are Looking at the
silver question now
The Washington Post says: The vast ma
jority of our people are for sound money
and a very large number of them in both
parties and in all sections of the country,
believe that silver may be remonetiZed and
given its proper value as money metal, in
such way as to strengthen rather than to
disturb our financial system.
The st. Louis Republic says: The curren-
cy needs reform as badly as the tariff ever
did. 1t is botch all through, with its treas
ury notes, national bank notes, silver notes
based on gold, silver coin as token money
and gold reserve which give a secretary a
mental epilepsy whenever he takes look at
the balances.
The New Yord Recorder says: Friends of
silver see Little use of issuing more bonds to
keep up the gold standard. Meet silver GER
titicates and treasury notes in "coin," not in
gold, and there will be no need of increasing
the interest-bearing bebt of the government.
The Boston Herald says: While it is mani
fest that all efforts by congress in the direc-
tion of tariff legislation must be held in
abeyance for the next two years and half,
it has become evident that the subject which
is to be brought prominently forward for
attention and action in the near future is the
currency question.
The Chicago Times says: Voorhees,, who
turned against silver in the extra session,
and led the fight against it, is again in Wash
ington. 1t is said that in the next session he
will be in the vanguard for silver.

A Henry County Farmers Views on
= the Money QaestiOn.

EDITOR NoRIHwEsT:-Th There is and
has been much said on the question
of the money of our country and var
ious theories proposed; asit is a per
iod OF cranks | will give my theory
which we must all accept before we
can have a money that the commodi-
ty value of the material of which it is
made will not fiuctuate, and that is a
paper money issued by the govern
ment and based on the credit of the
nation only and redeemable in the
products of our country at the cur
rent prices. This money to be a le-
gal tender, also duties on imports. 1t
will be as good as our national bonds
which claim a gold basis but which
claim is only backed by the credit of
the United States. Suppose the Unit
ed States government goes to pieces
and a new government is formed in
this country, what would be the val
ue of our bonds? They would be be-
low par, SO you readily see that the
United States bonds are based on the
credit and standing of the nation and
so should the currency of the country
be. This money needs no redemption
clause to insure its use in the United
States; it is good as long as the gov
ernment stands and when thorough
ly established willbe at par with gold
and silver in Europe just as our bonds
are. This means to demonetise gold
and use it only as q commodity, the
same as iron and lead This curren-
cy to be issued by the United States,
$100, 900, 900 annually until it reaches
$50 per capita. This money to go to
the people by redeeming other Unit
ed States money and divided proper
ly to the states for road and bridge
funds, from states to counties and
townships, and as the population in
creases increase the currency; this
will cause supply and demand only
to govern the price of labor and pro
duce, and the price of money cannot
f1uctuate. | claim this will meet with
the approval of nine-tenths of the
farmers, laborers and mechanics, and
they are the wealth producing class,
and only objected to by the money
spectators and bankers. Scarcity of
money causes high rate of interest
and the products of our country at
present prices will not feed the peo-
pie and pay the interest. The pres
ent wealth of the United States is
about $72, 600, 900, 900, and the interest
on municipal, school, county and
township indebtedness is about nine
hundred million annually This
makes the accumulation of interest
in 10 years amount to about nine bill |
lion and the interest on private obli-
cations will foot up to about fifteen
or sixteen billion dollars every 10
years. Now | would like to have some
farmer explain how these obligations
can be met without more money or
lower rate Of interest.

AT Syracuse, N. Y, on Friday night
last, Bob. Fitzsimons knocked out
Con Riordan, his sparring partner, in
the first round ofhis usual exhibition,
which usually closes the program OF
his vaudeville show. The blow was
on the chin, and Riordan never re.
gained consciousness after being hit,
and died at $3.50 o'clock the next
morning. These brutes should be
summarily dealt with, as they are
numbering entirely too many men.
But there is one consolation, those
murdered are of their kind.
