Heavy Rain Storms.

This week opened Monday afternoon
with what was thought to be as heavy a
rain fall as we could have, until the storm
of Tuesday came and flooded every street
in the lower part of the town. That night
and Wednesday rain fell steadily, but not
heavily. Yesterday morning the sun ap-
peared again.

Another Trust Heard From.

The Boston Herald observes that the ac-
ton of the shoe manufacturers in advanc-
ing the price of shoes from 10 to 25 cents a
pair appears to be justified by the advance
in the price of hides. Whether the in
crease in the price of leather is altogether
reasonable or not Is something that Is not
quite so clear The leather trade is now
under the control of gigantic cOmbina-
ton which controls the market for hides
and dictates prices. If enhanced prices
for about all the necessaries of life are q
sign of improved conditions in business,
(as Is undoubtedly the case,) it is quite
evident that those conditions are at hand.
We do not know but that the country
could stand some outside shoes If protect
ing the industry enables few wealthy
concerns in New England to levy toll in
this way upon the consumers of the entire
country. Where does protection to the
farmer come in with wheat selling in the
sixties and its prices regulated from
Liverpool? If shoes are too low the law
of supply and demand should regulate the
price. This artificial marking up and
down, as in the cases of sugar and oil,
has a very bad look

CAMPBELL ON SILVER,
The Ex-Governor Expresses His
Views--Free Coinage at its
PrOper Ratio.

Several days ago the Toledo Bee asfed
Hon. James II. Campbell, one Of the
most popular democrats in Ohio to make
public through its columns his views on
the silver question. With characteristic
promptness and frankness the letter came
and IL will be read with interest. It fol-
lows in full;
To the editor of the Bee: Replying TO
your query, beg to say that l am not
one OF those who have closed debate, and
moved the previous question on the coin
age and currency question. Just now ]
am seeking a remedy for the conditions
which confronts us. 1t seems to- me there
should be free coinage, and universal cir
culation of both of these metals which the
constitution recognizes as money, and
which have been the joint medium of ex-
change for the commerce of all ages.
The thrifty gentlemen in tho east who
have been lending us dollars which will
now purchase from two to five times rs
much of the great staples-wheat, cotton
and iron-as they would have purchased
twenty years ago, apparently desire to yet
further appreciate their dollars by having
1t minted exclusively from gold.
On the other hand the heretofore highly
favored silver miners of the west, who,
for so many yearsi marketed their output
by forced sales to the government, seem to
be disconsolate because we do not ladle
out to them dollar for each fifty five
cents which they produce. l, personally,
have no symathy with either of these
classes. Both profess bimetallism; but
at heart one Is gold monometalist, and
the other silver monometallist. In the
language of the great bard, would say,
A plague TO both your houses"
Silver should not have been demone-
tized 1t should be restored-not, how
ever, at a ratio which would drive out
gold, and leave us but one financial leg to
stand upon. 1t should have the same
privileges that gold has, to wit to have
one hundred cents worth stamped as a
dollar Mt the United States mint. While
l have no objections to the pious ejacula-
tion, "In God We Trust,' which is so
appropriately emblazoned upon the pres
ent silver dollar am very seriously op.
posed to trusting" out any part of its
value beyond that which it will brings
the melting pot
Yes am unreservedly and unhesitat.
ingly in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver-AT IT'S PROPER
RATIO. Sincerely

Coin, in his book on free silver coinage
makes the conspicuous point that there is
nothing in store for this world but low
prices until the country gets on to free
silver basis. This is the burden of his
entire book and by this statement appeals
to many people. But the appeal is fast
diminishing. Prices-are going up on all
hands; the products Of the farming class
are having a healthy boom; prices in
other lines are also going up. And so
are wages going up. Every day the news
papers publish reports not only oflmanu-
featuring establishments renewingtopera-
tions but of increasing wages. All this Is
a severe blow to Coins stock argument;
prices and wages are going up indepen-
dent of his free silver coinage ut 16to /.

The American Apple in France and
England.

The American apple has broken into
England and France in great shape.
Whereas in 1884 the New York fruit
men shipped but 16s, 7O6 barrels to these
countries the past winter showed ship
meut nearly nine times as great, namely,
LAB, 592 barrels. This tremendous in
crease in the export of one of our chief
American products is partly due to the
discovery of improved methods of cold
storage. Such results should greatly slim
.ulate fruit growing in this country and
in the end, if the demand keeps on in
ceasing, the trade should make n big
showing among the items of our national
income The apple is one of the finest
and most wholesome fruits the earth pro.
duces and England and France will not
be long in discovering the fact. While
they are already acquainted in way
with the value of the apple there is no
such use Of the fruit there by the rank
and file Of the people rs in the United
States. In Germany it Is the same way
with corn. American travellers in the
d German empire are laughed at when they
call for green corn and are informed that
in Germany corn is reserved for stable
uses. This fact recalls the further one
that the water mellon is almost unknown
i'm England. A returned American trav-
SSer "a late United States Consul in Eng
lapd) says that about one of the first
things he did when he reached New York
last summer was to order water mellon
and sit down to what he considered re-
past for the gods. Another choice Amer
lean product that has hitherto been al
most unknown in England and France
has been the cranberry. 1t Is now be-
coming very popular partly because OF
persistent efforts on the part of Ameri-
can shippers to disseminate good receipts
for the preparation of appetizing cranber-
ry dishes The export trade in this pro-
duct last year showed a very large in
crease.
When we marvel that European coun-
tries can get along without the apple, the
cranberry, green corn, the water mellon,
ice cream and other stand-bys of the
American housewife it must be remem-
bered that the civilized world is yet
young. In comparative time 1t has been
hut few years since the potato became
known, while those are still living who
can remember when the tomato was
grown for ornamental uses under the
name of ''love apples" Tobacco was not
known in England before 1915, antedat
ing the potatoe seventy years Nearly al
the choice fruit now grown has history
of less than fifty years. So we see thai
so far as the comforts of living go th'
world is still young with much yet t.
learn, and Europe is farther behind thar
we are

The Confession of a Rich Man,

A declaration by Mr.. J. j. Astor IL
quoted: 81 can do nothing with my in
come but buy more land, build more
houses and lend more money on mort
cages; in short 1 am found with the nee
essaries of life and more than that l can
not get out of my money"
Well, it is a pretty small return to got,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
1t is no more than he gets who earns
four or five thousand iollars n year, for
such man has the necossaries of life.
For that matter it is no more than, he
gets who earns "a thousand, for he, too,
has the necessaries of life. He has them
without the worry of him who must con-
tinually be investing his income.
We spoke recently of the money getting
faculty as gift. And here is an Astor
who says all he can get out of his gift Is
more money. What a small, mean gift
it is, them
Other men have their gifts. One has
the gift of speech, and he commands the
applause Of listening senates and delights

gift of music and he thrills the soul of o
whole nation. One paints, and his great
pictures are an inspiration to a generation
One has the gift OF thinking, like Emer
son, and he touches the chord Of human
ity in far-off lands, till men look up Il
him as a great teacher and bless him
One has the gift of poetry, like Shelley o
Keats, and years after he has gone hi
songs still sing true to the universe
needs.
All other gifts than those of money get
ting are used for the direct good of tn

actively used so as to bless both him VIII

The Interesting South Carolina Situa
ton,

The South Carolina situation has again
grown interesting as it was at the begin
ming of the war. In the first place came
the decisions of Judges Goff and Simon
ton that both the registration law and
the somewhat celebrated dispensary or
whisky selling law of the state are un-
constitutional. The grounds for these
decisions are interesting In Judge Goff's s
decision against the registration law the
court reviews the guarantees of popular
government in the national constitution
and holds that intricate and complicated
provisions of the South Carolina-such
as those requiring applicants to furnish
histories of their past lives attested by two
responsible Citizens-are designed to
abridge the constitutional rights of negro
citizens. In his dispensary law decision
Judge Simonton holds that when the
state went into the business Of setting up
dispensaries or depots as the only places
in the state where intoxicating beverages
can be obtained 1t went beyond the exer-
else of police powers because the law in
question does not, like prohibitory law,
treat the use of intoxicating liquors as
necessary evil but permits any one TO buy
as much as he likes proved he buys IL at
a dispensary. Judge Simonton holds
further that the manufacturers of lfquor
in other states were Disseminated against
by law which forbids them to seek Gus
tom in the state except through the
agency Of dispensary.
These two decisions have aroused bitter
animosity throughout the Suoth among
the hot heads. Gov. Evans was particu-
larry incorporate in the use of language
for one in his position. He said icon
stitution or no constitution the people of
South Carolina propose to govern them
selves" and would maintain a white
mans government in that historic COM
monwealth. He afterwards reviewed and
recalled the most offensive phrases of
this appeal and said he did not mean to
preach notification of decisions of the
United States supreme court. Along this
same line is the opinion of the New Or
leans Times. Democrat:
Judge Goff must have been very anx-
authority as federal official he is clothed
when he took it upon himself to say that
he and his foreign court have the right to
interfere with South Carolina state
law exercised rigidly and exclusively for
state purposes and when he could find no
objection more substantial than those on
which to base decision of the laws un-
consttutionality. Unless the supreme
court of the United States turns down
this ofiicious jaok-in-office, the state Of
North Carolina will have to make it
warm for him herself. A sovereign state
| of this union has not yet her neck placed
under the heel Of paltry federal judge,
OF course such heated rhetoric does not
reflect the sober judgment Of many thous-
ands in the South but is it interesting as
sign of the times. AS these decisions
rest on the constitution of the United
States and are subject to review by
the supreme court the impropriety of such
utterance do not need to be pointed out

AFew More Facts About Silver

The price of silver in London is 67A
cents an ounce.
At this price If our silver dollars con-
tanned really gold dollars worth of sill
yer they would weigh 1910 ounces each.
At this price instead of an ounce Of
gold being worth but sixteen ounces Of
silver (as the ratio Of 16 to would imply
it is really worth 80. 73 ounces.
The proposition of the western mine
owners is that the government shall fix
the coinage ratio at l6 parts of silver to
equal one part Of gold. In 30.73 silver
dollars the deficiency would be Slab. Al
the present price of silver, If silver dollars
were coined at their real value, ten dol
lars would weigh one and one-eightl
pounds.
Ex-Speaker Crisp in his free silver in
teryiew the other day said he had som'
doubt OF the policy Of tyring TO enforc'
free coinage at the present ration Of 16 h
THAT is, for a silver dollar to weigh six
teen times as much as gold dollar
when gold is over 80 times as valuable
by weight as silver.
To recoin the present silver currency o
the country amounting to S423, 900, 900

STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY MAY 2S 1896.

gift OF beauty" II was said Of old, cit Is
easier for camel TO go through the eye
Of needle than for rich man to enter
the Kingdom OF God. The rich man has
to conquer himself greatest conquest Of
all In that very power which most dis
tinguishes him from other men lies his
weakness.
Now go back to Mr.. Astor's confession
that he got out Of his great wealth his
"keep," and think what miserable re-
turn it is to the man himself for the gift
that has been intrusted to him. He Is
serving purpose in the economy Of the
world but It is the same service that any
other store house of energy serves. He
saves that others may have the good of his
savings He prevents waste--but what
does he do toward acknowledgment to-
ward higher spirituality toward broader,
larger life9 The rich man who has not
got out Of his money more than the
necessarios of life has wretchedly failed
toward himself.
Fortunately the number of such men Is
not increasing in ratio to the population.
More an more are rich men realizing that
man can not live for himself alone.
There never was as much money given by
the rich as now. There never was time
when the spirit of love to man-philan-
thropy-was as abounding rs today.
There never was time when rich men
were as interesting and interested MS to-
day; never time when so many of them
were awake TO their responsibilities as
well as their capacities; or time when so
few saw in the dollar an ultimate end
The stunted lives of rich men are far
less common than they were. Men are
not satisfied now with no greater returns
from wealth than the joy of investing for
the necessaries of life. They have learned
the glory and reward of giving.
