con the dedication of the monument to IN. CD '' Where the golden sheaves are garnered
 near the modest violets blue: Where the wheat, the oats and apples glis-
 ten in the morning dew; Where the prairie soil productive grows
 the grain. the fruit the men; Where the genius of the northland glows a
 brilliant diadem; Where the school house, white and sacred
 nigh the church's steeple raised; Where the broadest, Christ-lke teaching,
 hymns of home and love are praised; By the fresh lake and its waters, with the
 breadth of all their breeze, Stands the glory crown of Christian, in a
 sheft beneath the trees. Since the days men went to battle and their
 coming home with spoil. Grew reminders of the victory snatched in
 death and sad turmoil: Since they raised in vain self-glory, skull
 and thigh and things of stone, As monument of victory OCT their fallen
 foes alone;
 near the modest violets blue: Where the genius of the northland keeps
 the words of Christ most true For the first time in all ages since the sun
 did come and go, Do the mighty victors, praising raise
 monument to foe. Not to false hopes, nor false prophets, not
 to treason nor unrest, But to manly men and brothers. fighting as
 they thought was best: Not to argue, now that battle shots have
 ceased for many a year, For the whte-winged Peace has folded
 round about the foemans bier; Not to fan the fading embers with the
 fendish breath of hate, But to lay our northern tribute on the
 silent wards of state; Where the golden sheayes are garnered
 near the modest yiolets blue, Lie the gray in mercy gathered in Chris
 tian land and true And as Christ himself hath taught it, Love
 thy neighbor as myself" Stands the shaft by northmen builded, in
 their city with it's pelf: Rich and proud. the great Chicago, heart
 of commerce, seat of trade But its sons and, aye, it's daughters, of
 better clay made God is love- and love is godly," so they
 thought this sunlt day, As they dedicated to mem'ry noble deeds
 of boys in gray; And their soldier boys with dirgeS being the
 flower of cty's pride, Lay the laurel and the lily OCT the men
 who fought and died. And the bugle sounds out softly "Taps"
 for nevermore to cease, And the rolling volleys thunder, "Men of gray, now rest in peace;" And but one flag waves above them dead
 and living. old and new, Where the golden sheaveS are garnered
 near the modest violets blue

The Ohio Democratic platform of 1893 indorsed the national platform in regard to the currency question. The nat.onal platform demands the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in payment of debts" The Ohio platform recently adopted in- tended to indorse the national platform on this point, but it fell short It de- mands only the maintenance of the parity of the two metals in the payment of debts" but does not go on to demand 'tthe equal power of every dollar in the debt-paying power and purchasing power The former is established by law, the latter by economic demand. Greenbacks once fell to 50 cents in the dollar although they were legal tender. This is the pit-fall our free silver friends fall into They think that because the government has the power to make the silver dollar legal tender that it will maintain its purchasing power no matter how many are issued, but not so.
