The profits of the banking business
in New York is enormous. President
Williams of the Chemical National
Bank, New York City, in his testimony
before the banking and currency COM
mittee of congress recently stated that
the capital of his bank was 100000; it
had a surplus of 100000; the undivided
profits were more tnan S1,OOO.OO0: the
deposits reached $3O,OOO,OOO, probably
the largest in the world: the dividend on
the capital were 80 per cent. annually,
and the bank stock sold for 1890 per
share of 800, and still Wall street is
cIamoring for more legislation in the in
terest of the much oppressed banking
interests.

What Does Free Coinage Mean?

The question is often asked, what is
meant by free coinage? 1t is answered
by some that the bullion dealer would
have the right to take his gold or silver
bullion to the mint and have it coined
into money at the expense Of the gov
eminent. But that is not the case The
government has toll for the coinage
of bullion, called seigniorage. For coin
ing So0000OOO of the silver bullion the
government would get $o,OOO,OOO for
doing the work, and it is done in this
way: 1t takes 1929 grains of silver
$40 fine, or 37l14 grains pure silver to
make 500. Now, the government
takes in 4l21s grains pure silver bullion
and then when it is minted there is
Az grains alloy put into the dollar,
leaving the 4114 grains pure silver to
the government as toll for coinage.
In this way our government gets SO
on each 800, for coinage of either gold
or silver, and it further means that
every one who wants his bullion coined.
whether gold or silver, will be free and
untramelled to have it done on these
terms.

II is preposterous idea that either
one of the controlling parties in this
country contains all the honesty, all the
purity, all the patriotism, all the sincere
desire for an economical and honest
government. y citizen of Marshall
county who votes the democratic tick
ct, as rule, is just as worthy of
credit for sincerity and integrity of pur
pose, as his neighbor who always voted
the republican ticket, or has decided to
vote the populist ticket. This being the
case, the man who is always accusing
those of the opposing party in office of
dishonesty, and of yielding to wrong,
only that they may retain office, is
rightly judged by intelligent and impair
tial men, is one who rejoices at wrong
and would rather see the public imposed
upon than benefited.

THERE are no tribunals in this country
to determine the actual correctness of
opinion. Opinion, no matter how di-
ametrically opposed, may all be equally
honest and sincere, hence the condition
of peace and prosperity to us all, is equal
liberty of opinion under the law. Men
are responsible to law and to society for
their actions, and so long as their opin-
ions do not lead them to disturbe public
peace and order, no one has right to
modest their inherent right and liberty
of thought and creed. The first condi-
dition of true liberty, is perfect freedom
of opinion, and opinions are but con-
trolled by opinions. Violence and def
ant transgresslOn of the laws to protect
personal rights, ought, perhaps, to be
met by force. But forcing the opinions
of ones neighbors never is right, and
rarely is successful.

THE Labor Voice, of South Bend
bitterly attacks the Tribune of that city
for raising money for "silver service
for the battle ship Indiana, stating that
the men working for Studebaker for 80
cents day could not afford to give
money for such an enterprise. He should
acknowledge at least that the library
that is to be placed on this ship is of
some consequence. He further says
"the sailors or soldiers of the navy
produces nothing, just consumes that is
all, or they may brighten body of work
ing men back to work." We believe our
brother is entirely wrong in casting slurS
upon the men who belong to the rank
and file of our navy. There is not the
slightest doubt in the world that with
out our navy, our ports would be in
vaded by foreign foes in short time.
Justice is what the laboringmen of this
country need most. Therefore it is be-
fitting for those who present their view
to the world, to meter out little of the
same article to others.

ONE great difficulty with partisanshIp
in politics is the lack of moral earnest
ness in regard to any issue which may
come before the people. If any reform
is really needed in public matters, in
stead of the people being awakened to
its reality, these is general apathy and
indifference. All the excitement which
prevails at any time, is reused only by a
contest for mere party supremacy.

WHEN false political creeds obtain

than likely they will eventually utterly
fail from their own inherent rottenness.
But there is more true craftsmanship in

The Beautisyfng Bath.

The temperature Of a identifying

degrees, and it should be of daily &C.
currence, writes Eloise Perdrix under
the title Little Means Toward Good
Looks. in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Ordinary water, that is, water neither
particularly hard nor soft, is not con
sidered sufficiently cleansing to the
skin, and a French firm has lately in
troduced dainty bags containing al
mond meal, outmeal and orris root to
be placed in the water a few moments
before the bath~is ready. This renders
the water very milky and has a Won
derfully softening and whitening effect.
Baths in which milk, bran or starch
has been placed are found to refine or
whiten the coarsest, reddest skin if per-
sistently used. Softness and tirmness
of skin may be obtained by the use Of
Il simple unguent made famous by the
Greek and Roman women, who EN-
turtles ago set us the example of perfect
personal cleanliness as the road to
beauty. The following can be made
with very little trouble, and it is de-
lightfully exhiliarating after the bath:
Best white vinegar, one pint; rose
mary, rue, camphor and lavendar (of

in the vinegar for several hours, then

feeling and a dainty perfume will re-
main with one all day long.

A Ring Cut From Diamonds.
Everybody knows how difficult it is
even for expert lapidaries to cut dia-
monds, not only on account Of their
hardness, but by reason Of their struct-
ure and veins, which must be well de-
fined before the cutter begins his work.
NJ. Antoine, one of the best known jew
elers Of Antwerp, has, after many
fruitless attempts and three years of
arduous, patient toll, at last succeeded
in cutting a whole ring out Of a block
of diamonds. The ring is perfectly
round, with a diameter Of nineteen
millimeters (about three-quarters of an
inch). 1t was exhibited for some time
in Antwerp, and was very much ad-
mired. Its value is not given, as the
maker will not sell it. Outside of this
ring there is but one other ring known
to be cut out Of one stone, and that Is
the beautiful sapphire ring in the MARI
borough collection.

CURIOSITY OF LUNACY.

Periodical Mania by Which the Pa
tient Lives Three Lives.
There is a special form Of mental
disease, first described in France,
whose definite character is given to ii
by it's periodicity, and hence it is called
folie circulaire. In 1t there are three
sections of the mental circle that the
patient moves in, viz, elevation, de-
preston and sanity, and in this round
he spends his life, passing out of one
into the other, for it is, when fully es-
tablished, a very incurable disease.
The patient takes an attack of mania,
during which he is joyous, restless,
troublesome, extravagant and often
vicious. He eats ~voraciously, sleeps
little and never seems to tire. His tenn
perature is a degree or so above the
normal, his eye is bright and glistening,
be is enamored Of the other sex, he
shows diminished ~self-control and no
common sense. This lasts for a few
weeks, or a few months more COM
monty, and then he passes sometimes
rather suddenly into a condition of de-
preston, during which he Il, ciuSsis1,
dull, looking differently, dressing diff
fently, eating differently fearful, I'M
reliant and sedentary' in habits. This
state will last a few weeks or months,
and the patient will brighten up into
what seems a recovery, and Is to all
intents and purposes in his normal
state. This, again, lasts for a few
weeks or months, and he gradually
gets morbidly elevated. You find he is
passing through every minute mental
phase and habit he did at first; depres-
sion follows as before, and then sanity
and this round of three states of feel
ing, Of intellect, of violation and nutri-
: tfon goes on, circle after circle, till the
patient dies. He lives three lives.-The

cutting machine is. an attractive piece
Of mechanism, but the hardening and
tempering are done by men, each one
an expert, a master of his art. The
blades are first hardened and then
suddenly cooled. The greatest care
must be exercised in dipping the heated
blade in the water, for if one side
cools quicker than the other the un-
equal tension distorts the blade and
It is warped. The larger the saw the
more difficult is the process. The work
man gives the steel just the right

edge must be thicker than the middle

aave no clearance and would stick in

blade thinner back of the teeth and
this gives the saw that stiffness an0

Oyer Feeding Fnttcning Stock.

W. GULL osO~~
The heaviest losses in feeding stock
that is being fattened are sure to re-
suit from feeding in excess. Always
leaving the appetite not wholly salts
fed is the rule for the best success.
Then the food given will be better d.
geSted, and the most will be made OF
thu nutrition that it can furnish. Mich
depends on skill in feeding to get the
best results. With a properly diversi-
fled ration, including some succulent
and less nutritious food, more can be
digested than where the more concen-
trated forms of nutrition are given.
Fattening hogs, for example, ought to
have some roots, and a daily ration
of fine wheat middlings with or be-
fore their corn ration. They will eat
quite as much corn with this as with
out it, and will digest it better.

Fall PasturfnE Winter Grain.

Some Of our Western exchanges are
giving opinions about the effect Of fall
pasturing winter wheat. We have
seen wheat that made too heavy a
growth in the fall, which was mater
tally benefited by %pasturing with
sheep while the ground was dry and
before the frost had injured the feed.
Sheep are better for this than any 9TH
er stock. They are light in proportion
to the size of their feed, and their
tramping over light, porus soil makes
it compact. Then, what they eat of In
the fall is only what would be a con-
slant drain on the DOT whenever the
weather is mild. The wheat grower
wants a large growth in the fall main
ly to get a vigorous root. If the top
growth is cut or eaten off the root Is
none the worse for the fact.
