1890 they did not like Mckinley, and
perhaps in 1892 they did not like Har-
rison. Let's try some one else and see
how he suits them. sf
Bradley is talked of for president.
Did you notice how your Uncle Ben
iamin tried to hook on to him as a
vice. presidential running mate
through John c. New: And then
didn't we see some suggestion that
Mckinley and Bradley would make an
excellent ticket? Now just look at
it. Ohio and Indiana on one side OF
the Ohio river and Kentucky on the
other. Wouldn't that be grouping
things pretty close? Kentucky is a
western state.
If Bradley is to be vice-presiden,-
tial candidate why wouldn't Reed and
Bradley go well together; or, TO get
the ticket scattered what is the mat
ter with Davis and Bradley? Don't
let us get too thick with our presi-

EASY WAY OF DYEING.
OLD SUITS AND GOWNS READILY
1ADE TO LOOK LIKE NEW.
A Western Woman Made New Suit
for Ten Cents by Using Diamond
Dyes-Original and Reliable Pack
age Dyes that Have Never Been
Equalled.

Annie Davis Tuller in a letter writ
ten the Sth of last month, said
81 have had great success in my
first attempt with Diamond Dyes.
My husband had "a suit of summer
clothes whose color did not please
him, but he did not feel able to buy a
new suit. We used package of
Navy Blue Diamond Dyes, following
the directions, and the suit was soon
transformed to sedate, genteel
color, making it as good as new"
For years Diamond Dyes have
been the standard in thousands of
homes where their ease of use and re-
liability have made many an old gown
or suit look like new.
There are dozen special fast cot
ton colors of Diamond Dyes, which
are guaranteed to give colors that are
true to name and absolutely unfading,
even when exposed to sunlight or
washed in strong soap-suds. Do not
risk your goods with adulterated sub
stitutes that are sometimes offered.
Diamond Dyes are sold by all drug
gists. Colored samples of cloth and
book giving full directions for their
use, sent free by mail.

improving of West Front street, build

protest against an assessment on Clark

Nearly all of the property owners on
Clark street, especially the lower side,
object to the grade of the street, and
some claim to be damaged by the fill.

WOULD DRIVE AWAY GOLD.
Generalization OF Silver Always Has That
Effect.

Effect.
Free coinage Of silver at the ratio Of
lG to would, under existing conditions,
put into circulation silver dollars intrin-
sically worth about 80 cents each, while
the gold dollar would continue to be
worth here and everywhere else in the
markets 100 cents, or the equivalent of
100 cents, in the purchase Of property
and in effccting foreign exchanges but
here at home the debt paying power OF
the gold dollar would be no greater than
the debt paying power Of the deprecated
silver dollar, and consequently every
body would pay III silver, and gold
would cease TO be used as money. This
is what has happened III every part OF
the world when the difference between
the intrinsic or commercial values OF the
two metals and their legal tender values
was large enough to make it profitable
for bullion brokers and spectators to
deal in the undcrvalucd coin as COM
modify A small percentage Of difference
has always been sufficient for this pur-
pose, as our own experience proves.
From 1892 to 1884 the legal ratio be-
tween the two metals i'll this country
was / ) to /, which was an generalization
of silver, and during all that period the
difference between the commercial ratio
and the legal ratio never amounted to
more than Il very few cents on the dol
lar and yet all our gold left us, and we
had practically silver monometallism,
but in 1884 Andrew Jackson John G.
Calhoun, Thomas H. Benton and other
Democratic statesmen Of that day de-
telmined that the people of the United
States should have gold for use i'll their
business, and congress changed the ratio,
making it l6 to |. This was very
small differentiation of silver in the
coins, and the result was that, although
there were times when the commercial
and legal ratio were very nearly the
same, legal tender silver went out of cir
culation, and we had practically gold
monOmetallism. If these results follow
ed the establishment of legal ratios,
which conformed very nearly to the ac-
tual commercial ratio can there be a
shadow of a doubt as to what would be
the effect of authorizing the free and
unlimited coinage of legal tender silver
at the legal ratio, which would overvalue
that metal about 100 per cent? In other
words, can there be doubt as to the eff
feet of law which would enable every
holder of gold coins Or gold bullion to
exchange each dollars worth of his
metal for two legal silver dollars and
pay his debts with them?-From Secre-

Moral. Breaking down our financial
standard may flood the country with
cheap money, but it will not increase
our wealth.
A Mechanic who was trying to invent
a Machine which would run without
any Motive Power announced one day
that he had Solved the Problem. "It is
Evident" he said, THAT if Siphon
will draw Water out of one Cask into
another, it will also draw it back again.
All that is Necessary, therefore, is to
Utilize this continually flowing water
to run Motor, which will, i'll turn,
drive Machinery.
Moral When farmers can make wa.
ter run up hill, they will be able to
add to their wealth by increasing the
quantity Of the material by which
wealth is measured.
The Wise Sage, Har Wee, advertised
that for Eight Shekels lesson he would

Debts, nor will men lend to me. Thou
hast taught me Nothing. mot so, "
