SIXTEEN TO ONE PUT TO SLEEP.
The Cause Of Free Silver Has Lost Ground
 During the Last Year.


 The election of Nov afforded but few opportunities to test the strength of the free coinage people since .Goin at School became their Bible and e16 to 1" their watchword In every case where free silver was made tho chief issue the silverites have either been de- feated or have lost ground since last year. So unmistakable is the result that both of the old parties will surely drop the silver issue in 1896, not only from their national platform, but from many of their state platforms which hereto fore have truckled to the free silver and cheap money advocates.
 Perhaps the best test was made i'll Kentucky, which, for the first time i'll its history, has elected Republican for governor. Bradley was elected not be- cause he was Republican, but because he was a sound money man. Hardin was defeated because he insisted upon making free silver the issue after his party had nominated him on sound money platform. Kentucky is strongly Democratic and would have elected Hardin had he decided to cast his lot with Carlisle and McCreary, instead of with Blackburn. He now goes down with Blackburn and tho other cheap money demagogues. Whether Senator Blackburn s successor is q Democrat CT a Republican he will not be silverite.
 The next best test was made in the Eighteenth congressional district of Hi nois. where the question of free silver was presented squarely in the views o1 the opposing candidates Hadley, tht Republican candidate, won by q biz majority in a strongly Democratic dis triet because his opponent stood for fre coinage and was helped, or rather hoo dooed. by the speeches of Bland an' other leading silverites. The lesson vii be a wholesome one for the Illinoi Democrats who last spring went off hal cooked in favor of free coinage at 1 to l.
 Nebraska, Ohio, Mississippi and othe states give no consolation to Blant Bryan, Blackburn or the silver min owning senators. Sixteen to 1 IS put sleep for generation. May it's Rip Va Wrinkle slumber be as peaceful as h. been that of greenbacl1ism during Il past generation.
 The free silver swindle will nev, again seriously disturb our finances cause another panic. But unfortunate much positive work remains to be dol before we get rid of fiat money in a its forms and secure a sound and elast currency for our commercial interests

wonid Benefit the Wealthy Only.

Some of our states and very many cities and counties and nearly all rail- road and manufacturing corporations who have outstanding bonds, together with many individuals, have borrowed money, agreeing to pay principal and interest in gold. All of them who sur vived the panic which would ensne (from a drop to the silver standard) would have to buy gold at premium to pay their debts.
 Question did these states, cities, corporations and persons agree to pay in gold?
 Answer. Because by so doing they got money at lower rate of interest, and in some cases could obtain the loan in no other way.
 Question Would the free coinage of silver help those i'll debt?
 Answer. It is certain that the great majority of persons who owed debts would he ruined because of an immedi- ate demand of their creditors for the money due A national bankrupt law would speedily be passed. If any debtor l could hold on until values were read justed, he would pay off his debts in silver.
 Question. What classes of persons would be injured least aud what classes injured most?
 Answer. The persons of independent fortune owing no debts would be injured least The persons owing debts and per sons who work for wages and fixed sal aries would be injured most. R. Weis- singer ill What Is Money"

THE REAL CREDITOR CLASS.
LabOrers Are Beginning to Learn some
 Truths About Money.

The attorneys of the silver mining in. terest have counted largely on the labor vote. Some months ago there was some reason for this. But the agitation of the subject has wrought change. Informa- tion has been so diffnsed that the stupid falsehoods of such men as Harvey are no longer current. The men who work for wages are awakening to the fact that they are the great creditor class of the country. Not to mention the &, o00, 0o0, ,0o0 which they have in the banks--a sum far in excess of the na- tional debt-they are obliged to work on credit. Whether paid by the week, month or quarter, they are equally cred itors for the full amount of their wages. They get no money until after they have earned it.
 They are beginning to perceive that 1t is to their interest to get their wages in the best money that is to be had. The state of wages i'll silver countries. which has been injudieiously exploited by silver men that are employers of la bor, has contributed to open the eyes of onr toilerS Free coinage would cut in two the purchasing power of their pres ent wages, and they know from experi- ence how hard fight they would have to get them raised.

TIE steamer Chateau Yquem has arrived at New Orleans with l4S Italian families, nearly TOO persons, on board. All are farmers and have been selected with care. As soon as they have been passed by the Immi grafton Inspector they will go by steamer up the Mississippi to Sun nyside, Ark, the site of new col ony proposed to be established by Austin Corbin. Some eleven years ago Mr. Corbin bought a fertile plantation of 5000 acres in the southeastern part of Arkansas. He planned to sell this in small lots to negroes, but this proved failure. The blacks could not manage even small farms for themselves, and gradually the project was aban- doned. Then representative of Baron Faya, the Italian Ambassador at Washington, suggested the plant ing Of an Italian colony there. The snnnyside Company was ineorpor- ated and with the quiet assis tanee of the Italian Government and some prominent Americans it was worked out. The colonists are all agricul- turists and it is proposed to sell the land to them at low figure and on easy terms. The plan is to land these people directly in their new homes, with every chance to earn al Heing without the odions padrone

SANDUSKY BONNER

SANDUsKY BONNER died at his beautiful
country home Oak Lawn" near London, o.,
Tuesday, Dec. IL, 1894, aged IS years. He was
one of Madison County's best known and most
honored citizens He was born, and always
lived in the neighborhood where he died, being
the elder son of Matthew and Ann Bonner. who
were pioneer settlers in Central Ohio. He was a
man noted for his modest and transformations
demeanor; affectionate in his family; lover of
his home. Seldom does one hear such universal
words of praise as those heard upon the an
nounoement of his death. Being man of ster-
ling integrity, honorable with all men, the in
fuence which his life has exerted will still
prompt others to emulate these noble traits
The funeral services were held at his late resi-
dence on Thursday, Dec. 10, conducted by his
former pastor. Rev, U. s. Milburn. His standing
in the community was exemplfied by the large
attendance at his funeral and by the long pro-
cession which followed his remains to Kirkwood
Cemetery. He leaves an aged mother, loving
wife. Mrs. Minnie Willis Bonner, and four chill
dren by previous marriage to mourn his death.
Would that the world had more such men.

Inc friendships clustering there, were always
cherished as bright, sacred memories. Of late
years in her preference for quiet, home life
she devoted much time to reading and pursued
1t with the same enthusiastic enjoyable pleas
ure that characterized her entire life The last
paper that she read was THE UNIvERsALIsT.
She daily expressed thanks for lifes many bless
ings. and having spirit loving and lovable, it
was an indefinable happiness to be with and to
tendery care for the beloved one.
Having lived through many stirring scenes of
our country's history. she was Intensely patriotic
and loyal. Her high sense of justice hoped for
woman's full recognition and mankind's eman-
cipation from all error, There had been all
through the years a charming atmosphere
around her life. Hope had been beacon star
guiding her on and on, higher and higher to a
lofty ideal, and during the last three months the
radiance of the spiritual had been especially
manifested, She had lived so well that she was
prepared to go. Yea, even longed sometimes to
know the glories that she apprehended In her
mental vision of the spirit realm.
While she loved with strongest ties that
bind" her cherished ones here, still she yearned
to be with the eloved companion of her life and
to meet the many dear ones gone before. She
had no fear of death for to her death was all
swallowed up" in the victory of eternal life.
Believing that the Christ is 1.-THE way, the truth
and the Life" she was intuitively led to God,
and there steadfastly clinging and trusting, her
faith was transformed into understanding and
she realized that life could not for an instant be
separated from the Divine Life, and that Infn-
lite Love could never cease loving its own crea-
ton.
Our darling mother-hallowed life-blessed
reality of love-so unspeakably treasured! You
shall live in home still and in our hearts for
ever! May the same love light us to meet you
in that blouse not made with hands, eternal in
the Heavens"
