leading money kings Of shat city aud
the country at large. Under their die
tation over q thousand newspapers.
from all over the country have began a
series of editorials attacking the free
coinage of silver.
President Fairehild, Of the Reform
club. in a recent interview said: 1.-THE
currency question is bound to play an
important part in the coming presi-
dental campaign and the friends Of
recommendation cannot enter the lists
too soon against the silver fanatieism
that abounds in many parts Of the
country. It is in the west that We shall
have the hardest work, and it is for this
reason that We have organized our
forces to combat the theories Of the
silver men,"
1t looks as though the goidbugs were
getting alarmed that the chains they
have woven around the American PEG
pie are not strong enough to hold
them in bondage to the greed of the
money power.
In the words of the Corpulent Cleve-
land, "the line of battle has been
drawn" for fight to the bitter end be-
tween the bimetallists and the servants
of the single standard.
How it will end viii depend upon the
patriotism of the American people. II
they vote as their forefathers fought
then bimetallism will enthroned, if not
the gold power viii be victorious and
more closely weld the links in the
chain that is rapidly making of a free
people a nation Of serfs.

THF MEXICAN DOIIAR.

The Mexican dollar is often referred
to by the goldbug press as an example
Of what depths the silver dollar can de-
preciate. They say that, although it
has nearly twice as much silver III it as
the American dollar it win buy only
half as much
The real meat of the whole business
is this: That the Mexican dollar viii
buy just as much today as our Ameri-
can dollar would buy in 1878. At that
date, so far as the value of our curren-
ey was concerned, We we're a little be-
low the Mexican basis, for our green
back dollar was at a discount in gold,
while our gold dollar was at a discount
as compared with the Mexican silver
dollar. We were not only on the Mex
lean basis, but below it.
Let the goldbugs consider this situa-
ton a moment and then tell US how
our civilization stood the strain. The
gold dollar commanded premium
in gold. And yet our people seemed to
be getting along very we'll in 1873 until
the characterization of silver, reacting
on international values, precipitated a
panic. Our people showed no signs Of
adopting any form of Mexican ciyiliza-
tion, or of retrograding. On the con
traTy they we're progressing rapidly
until the characterization panic fell up
on them. They resumed their progress
in 1878 when the Bland-Allison act
partially arrested the decline of values
and prices, and they continued to pros
per until the close of the Indian mints
in June, 1898, created another disturb
ance of values.
There is another fact to which we
desire to call the attention of those
who may have been confused by the
arguments of ignorant or reckless edi-
tors, toWit: That the Mexican dollar
will purchase just as much now as it
did in 1873, perhaps a little more. This
is the testimony of all intelligent men
who have studied the situation, and it
is borne out by the facts that cannot
be contrOverted. The only change that
has taken place since that time is that
the gold dollar and the money repre-
senting gold, have more than doubled
in value. The United States dollar is
worth two Mexican dollars in Mexico
because it will buy twice as much
wheat, cotton, corn, iron or calico as
the Mexican dollar will buy in Mexico.
Everything that the labor of the peO-
pie produces in this country has been
deprecated to less than half their
value as compared with the gold dol
lar, while the products of the people of
Mexico remain at their old level. In
1873 our dollar would buy less than the
Mexican dollar commands in Mexico
today. At this moment our dollar will
buy twice as much as the Mexican dol
lar, and the additional value is stolen
out of the sweat and hardships of the
people.

TIE Atlanta Constitution thinks that
whatever the final result of the bime-

agitation of the matter should have the
effect of stimulating the Efforts of the
free coinage men in the United States.
1t is the agitation over here that has
caused renewed hope in France and

people Of those nations to the hopeful
enthusiasm displayed here should
cause bimetallists in the United States
to relax their energies, a distinct set

While the wind blew IN trom the sea.

Where the wind wings swept the night.

And muttered hasty prayer

That wakened mothers with Sudden start
To pray IN the dark alone
With the sea winds awful voice.

But children starve where the holy chime

To the reyels of laughing sin,

The wind blows over the town,
The lamp-ligbt shudders and shakes in fright
And the stars look coldly down,
When the wind blows in from the sea.
And ever the mothers pray alone
And ever the maidens sin,
The dread of the cold and the wild wind moan
Is lost in the reyels within,
And ever the winds of want are blown
From Deaths insatiate sea.

The income tax is no more unjust
than any other tax. Those that have
wealth want protection of government,
those that have none need no protec-

wealthy class should pay the majority

The Shiawassee County Sunday School
Rally for 1895.

On the 31st of August last year, Shia-
wassee county held its first general rally.
1t was success, and the general verdict
was in favor of its repetition this year.
At the County S. s. Association held in
this city the 23d of May, it was unani-
mously voted to hold a rally the last
week in August of this year. Since that
time preparations have been made on a
large scale to hold Labor Day observan-
ces in Owosso the first Monday in Sep
TENDER. This will attract large numbers
and by common consent the S. S. rally
had to be postponed.
At meeting of the Owosso S. S. work
ers held in the NJ. Il. church last Sunday
afternoon, it was voted to hold the rally
in the city of Owosso on Friday, Sept. 20.
1t was reasoned that it would be likely
to be cool and pleasant at that time; also
that the city schools would close for the
day, and also, that generally throughout
the county the public schools would sus-
pend for the sake of the rally. There
fore this notice well in advance. A meet
ing of Owosso and Corunna S. S. workers
will be called soon to appoint committees
and set the ball rolling. The Sunday

Considering the low state of health in

For recovery from the effects of
too constant indoor work, worry
over exertion, of body or mind, and
for the general depressed state of
health that is so apt to result from
a sedentary life of hard work and
routine, Paine's celery compound ia the

and restores the WORKOUT tissues, dis.
poses the body to take on new flesh, and
rapidly clears the system of the used-up
elements that clog its healthy working.
Drudging indoor workers who seldom

are many such, both men and women
recover vigor of the nerves and vital or
gans through the use of Paine's celery
compound.
