BRICE of New York is big man
in Ohio politics.


In view of the confined export from
this country To Europe of gold, all or
nearly all of which is drawn from the
stock in the United States treasury,
prudent financiers are beginning To dis
cuss the probability of fresh issue of
bonds by the government.
Notwithstanding the heroic efforts of
the secretary of the treasury TO pro.
tect his resources, leading him occa-
sionally, as in the case of the sup
pressed sugar bounties, TO a flat repu-
diation of the authority of congress,
and Notwithstanding the receipt during
the month of July of $32, 100000 paid
for the remaining half of the bonds sold
last February, the cash balance in the
treasury on July 81 was sls7, 149, $50,
against 1895, 240, 1913 on June 30. On
Monday the balance was down TO 1884,
600, 600, and it will continue 10 decrease
until the governments revenues in
crease sufficiently to equal its eXpendi.
lures. This, according TO all presidents,
is not likely To take place until October.
merely, the treasury has ample resour-
ces for tiding over the deficiency of the
next two months. 1t can well afford
to let its available balance run down
by far greater amount than is needed
to exc out its income. But il has un.
dertaken to maintain the arbitrary $780,
600, 900 gold reserve, and therein lies
the difficulty with which it is confront
ed. Since February, 1894, it has re-
ceived from the sale of bonds over
$3.50, 600, 900, of which it still has on
hand 800, 00O, 900, all in gold coin and
bullion. Will the secretary trench up
on this balance, or will he, To protect
it, sell more bonds?
Everything depends upon the pleas
ure of the administration. 1t can sell
bonds or it can refuse To sell them, Just
as it chooses. Ii il does not sell them
it's gold reserve will decrease rs it did
in 1894, and if it does the public debt
will be increased. by the amount of
bonds sold. If the gold reserve is al
lowed TO decrease nervous people may
take fright, and if the bonded debt in
creases the opposition 10 the govern
ment will eXult The case is like that
of the old-fashioned Calvinists, who de.

Under Brice's Thumb

The Ohio democracy, under the
thumb. of Senator Calvin Brice, has
reaffirmed the currency platform of
that party for 1892 and completely
knocked out the free-coiners in the
convention. The Detroit Free Press
says concerning this action:
"There has never been any serious
doubt as to the financial views held
bv the democracy of Ohio. Even
those who hoped for a declaration in
favor of free silver from the state
convention which was held banked
upon the unpopularity of Senator
Brice and not upon the merits of the
cause to which he is unalterably OPP
posed"
The Grand Rapids Democrat, the
junior democratic organ of the state,
comments on the Ohio outcome in a
non committal way, SO that nobody
can tell what that paper thinks about
it. The Democrat is clearly prepar-
ing to get into line on whichever
side of the fence the party deems
polite in 90. In view of the sit
uation, wouldn't it be wise for some
of the minor democratic organettes
and street corner fnanciers to pull
in their free silver horns a trifle and
prepare to get into the band wagon,
even if it should happen to be
striped with gold?

Pound In virsisis-supposed To Re . Tai
ismsn Against Evil.

ismDn ~ GnIuet EVIL.
The Mother of Statesmen" has pro-
duced number of good things from
first To last-chivalrous men, fascinat-
ing, soft-voiced women, fine horses and
the like, but that a popular fad should
originate with her is an altogether new
departure says the Philadelphia Times.
Everything must have beginning,
however, and who knows, now that the
fairy stone has found such favor in the
world of fashion, what possibilities she
may develop in this direction? These
queer bits of petrified earth are in
digenous TO Patrick a southern border
county of Virginia, cut off from Henry
and called, like the latter, in honor of
the statesman and orator, Patrick
Henry. They are not excavated for,
but lie loose upon the surface of the
earth, and, though restricted to two or
three parts of the county, exist in great
numbers and various sizes.
Upon each stone representation of
the cross is distinctly though delicately
traced, and a legend concerning them
states that a band of fairies, dwelling
at Jerusalem during the life of our
Saviour, and witnessing the awful
scene on Calvary, were so Mortified by
it that they fed to this remote region
and transformed themselves into these
petrified emblems. This legend has
given rise to innumerable superstitions,
and from time inRnemorial the stones
have been worn as aInulets by those
living in the vicinity in which they are
found.
The reputation was local. however,
until that era in Virginia's history
known as the boom" Then her SUI
perstitions and sacred traditions, along
with her other commodities, became OBJ
jects of barter. Speculation fixed it's
calculating eye upon the fairy stone
and il was taken from its native bed
and experimental with in order that it
might be rendered marketable.
1t was soon discovered that no tedious
process was necessary for its develop
ment. A sharp instrument passing
along the outline stamped upon its sur
face converted the jagged stone into a
symmetrical cross, and a little polishing
and a plunge into bath of boiling oil
gave the requisite smoothness and the
rich mahogany color one sees in the
stone of commerce. A tip of gold at
the four extremities and a ring to
which a chain might be attached gave
the finishing touch to it, and when thus
simply mounted fairy stones sold for
dollar apiece.
The traditions concerning their won
derful working power are as inexhaus-
tible as the beds from which they are
taken, and would furnish endless
themes to writer's of fairy tales and
folklore stories. They are supposed to
ward off evil and bring good luck to
their possessor but in order to do this
must be worn around the neck and next
to the person.

Try An American Day.

The American day and the American
idea of selling American goods Of
American make is, we are pleased to
say, steadily gaining ground. The Tex
tile Manufacturers Journal Of New
York, July 8, had this TO say on the sub
ject: 1--WE welcome the feeling which
prompts some Of our storekeepers TO
place on sale goods which are American
make-American sale days, so called
to encourage true Americans to use
home manufactures. These days should
be more frequent. They serve to kill
the foolish notion that many have that
foreign goods are of better value. They
tend TO foster and build up home in
dustries and engraft deeper pride and
love in ones country. The American
spirit should be shown in every way and
every thing. There is lack Of it, as is
evinced in the pernicious tariff which
cumbers the statute books and which
menaces the very integrity and life of
domestic industries. F"

The walking delegate is still mas
ter of the situation at the lshpeming
mines. A day or two ago, appearances
indicated that the men would accept
the increase offered by the compa-
MES and resume their work, but the
irresponsible leaders of the strike
succeeded in preventing this desira-
bic contamination, and the miners
who returned to work were forciblv
prevented from continuing, although
they were offered good wages, and
themselves and their families are on
the verge of starvation. 1t is likely
that the pumps will be pulled up and
the mines flooded, thus to remain un-
til next summer. In such case the
people of Michigan will be called
upon to contribute of their substance
to keep the strikers and families from
starvation. Perhaps they will con-
tribute literally ard perhaps not. 1t
is unlikely that anybody will be per-
mitted to perish for the want of food,
but the charity offered will not be of
a cheerful character. Organized la
Dor is all well enough az long as its
purposes are legitimate and carried
out in a lawful manner, but as at
present constituted, labor unions with
their irresponsible officers and walk
ing delegates are responsible for the
rankest tyranny that ever existed in
America. They are rapidly becom-
ing an intolerable nuisance and the
people of this country will not always
submit to their bulldozing tactics.

SUPERFLUOUS SUGGESTIONS.
The People Elected Protectionists, Free
Traders Have No Voice.

The People Elected Protectionists, Free
Traders Have No Voice.
The organs Of the free trade party are
20 the front with suggestions for raising
sufficient revenue, which their tariff
for revenue only" failed to do. A tax
upon tea, tax upon coffee and an in
creased tax upon beer are among the
more favored suggestions of the free
traders. This Of course is TO be expected
from the leaders of party having no
ideas of their own, and who are mere
imitators TO anything and everything
English. Direct taxation upon every ar
ticle that enters into general consump-
ton, and which becomes a necessity of
life, is the English idea Of making life
agreeable; hence its recommendation for
adoption by our free traders.
But what have they to say about it,?
The people have elected protectionists to
legislate upon revenue matters hereafter.
The protectionists will not pay the
slightest attention to any of the sugges-
tions of the free traders, but will pro-
ceed to do what the free trader could not
frame tariff law that will provide
sufficiency Of revenue and frame it in
such a way that it will afford protection
to American, not to foreign, interests.

GROW OUR OWN SUGAR.
Reasons Why the Beets and Cane Should
Receive Ample Protection.

Reasons why the Beets and Cane Should
Receive Ample Protection.
Protection to the sugar producing in
dustry of the United States, whether
beet or cane, is now regarded as far
more important than it was admitted
to be few years ago. During the enact
ment Of the Mckinley tariff the guam
tity of American grown raw sugar was
very largely increased, to such an extent,
in fact, that it surprised not only the
friends Of protection, but also those who
have the habit Of intimating that we
cannot grow anything that is worth eat
ing or make anything that is worth
wearing.
There are two principal reasons why
the beet and cane sugar industries of the
United States should receive ample pro-
lection at the hands of congress. One of
these reasons is that it will enable us in
time TO be independent of other produc-
ing countries for our supply Of one Of the
necessary articles Of life. The other rea-
son is that the use of thousands of acres
of our farm lands in growing sugar cane
or sugar beets will leave smaller area
to be planted 10 cotton, corn, wheat and
other crops that we now produce i'll such
superabundance that the prices paid for
them to the farmers are very often be-
low the cost of actual production.
BY growing our own sugar we shall
be strengthening our national independ-
ence. We shall also be helping farmers
who grow other crops by checking their
overproduction.

STOCK ON THE FARM

There are a considerable number OF
FARMERS in every section of the west
VINO do not seem to attach value
enough to the breeding and feeding Of
live stock. says the Omaha Cultivator.
They convince themselves that the
produce of the farm will sell for about
as much before feeding to live stock
as the stock would bring when ready
tor market; hence, by marketing hay
and grain. they save the risk and la
Dor Of keeping live stock and make
about as much money in the long run
II this were true. it would be import
ant; but it is demonstrated to be a
wrong conclusion. One needs merely
10 take census of the farmers of his
own neighborhood to see that the live
STOCK breeders are the men of SUBJ
stantial wealth and reliable incomes.
Without going into details. the thrift
of live stock breeders proves the sub
stantial business basis of live stock
farming.
The main reasons for the average
thrift of live stock breeders are:
First-The value of live stock is more
constant than that OF grain hence
more accurately estimated, and better
tnanciering results. Second-Hand-
ling live stock admits of making bet
ter use Of the farm in unfavorable
seasons, so that a total failure of in
come rarely or never comes to the
stock breeder Third-Under grain
farming the inevitable result is i'm
poverishment of the land except in
very limited areas. This brings grad
ual but certain failure of plans and
consequent poverty. On the other
hand, the feeding of the products of
the farm to live stock and the return
or the manure waste to the soil insures
a gradual increase of fertility, which
or itself is profit on the investment
In the land.
1t is admitted that failures attend
i've stock farming. There is risk to be
taken, and the attention animals re-
Quire is constant. But there is pleas
ure in live stock farming which fully
compensates for the care and labor.
He who has not bred and reared a no.
bic horse or brought to maturity a
choice herd of cattle. hogs or sheep,
has not tasted the joy of farm life
We have admitted as true that
which cannot be demonstrated. viz: |
that the produce of a farm is as val |
liable, if marketed in crude form. as
when marketed in the form of live
stock. This is only true in exceptional |
seasons when grain is abnormally
high and the price of live stock low. |
In years of average crop conditions
the cost of taking farm produce to
especially for those especially
well located. consumes all the profit
IN producing, while the same low
priced produce will make as many
pounds of meat as when 1t sells at
the highest price. This fact alone
gives the live stock farmers an I'M
mense advantage in the use of land.
IT should encourage every western
farmer to strive to equip his farm for
some form Of live stock hustandry for
which he may have a special facility
and in which he may reach a perma-
nent financial success.
