The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
recently perfected an ingenious cure
for dyspepsia Their Digestive Cor
dial consists of a food already di-
gested and a digester of foods hap
PLY combined.
The Importance of this invention
will be appreciated when we realize
what a proportion of the communi-
ty are victims of some form of
stomach troubles. Thousands of
pale, thin people have little inclina-
tion to eat, and what they do eat
causes them pain and distress.
This Digestive cordial of the
Shakers Corrects any stomach de-
rangement at once. 1t makes thin
people plump. Every one will be
greatly interested to read the little
book which has been placed in the
hands of druggists for free distribu-
tion.

Thurman Against Silver.

Our friend, A. McGregor calls attention
to the fact that Brother Mckinley and
Secretary Carlisle voted, when in the house,
for Bland free coinage measure.
Well, what If they did? What seemed
wise in 1878 may not seem wise sixteen
or seventeen years after. Why? Because
the conditions have changed What con-
ditionsY Well, for one, the price of silver
has fallen nearly fifty per cent. In 1873
q silver dollar, such as is coined today,
would be worth within seven cents of the
value of gold one Today it is worth
about fifty cents. Another big change in
the conditions Is that since then we coined
and piled up in the treasury vaults l54
tons of silver dollars a month In his
LeNinton speech Secretary Carlisle says
this measure provided for a limited coin
age of silver dollars and that he has
never in all his life supported any meas
ure for the unlimited coinage forever. At
that time he thought that silver could be
carried to the value of gold and kept
there, but in this he says he was mis-
taken, as the price fell and continued to

can be but one standard dollar just as
there can be but one yardstick,
So much for Secretary Carlisle But
how about ex-senator Thurman, who is
quoted as the great man in the silver
camp On the tenth of January, 1871,
Congressional Record shows that Allen
Thurman voted for a coinage measure
that did not provide for any kind of a sill
Yer dollar, but expressly limited the coin
age of that metal to subsidiary pieces
half dollars, quarters and dimes
But as we said above in the matter of
Secretary Carlisle this proves nothing
except that congress and the people were
then seeking light on the silver question |

dollars toi purchase given amount Of
any commodity than It required before.
There APPEARS 20 be n singular delusion in
the minds Of sCme upon this subject.
Many goot people appear to think that In
some mysterious manner, which no one
has yet attempted to explain, the govern
ment by hgislation or otherwise, can in
crease the prices of the things they have
to buy. II th,re Is any financial NEGRO
Nancy by which this one-sided increase
of prices can be accomplished, our free
coinage frierds ought to explain 1t to the
people The plain, everyday, common
sense view Of this subject Is tho only
correct one. If prices are increased solely
on account of an increase in the volume
of the circulation, without any change in
the relation between the supply and de-
mand of the the commodities to be ex-
changed, the increase in prices will neces-
sarily affect all things alike. If, therefore,
the farmer, or planter receives greater
number of dollars for his crop of cotton
or wheat, he will be compelled to pay a
oorrespondingly greater number of'dollars
for his agricultural implements, for his
groceries, for his clothing, and, in short
for everything he purchases.
OF all the propositions we have now
quoted from Mr.. Carlisle, or statements
Of fact, there Is not one which, in our
opinion Is not based on the truth and
will be accepted as such by all patriots
and fair minded men, such as the rank
and file Of the Stark county democracy is

BaIderdash From Mansfield.

ing its tariff reform" measure? Il

sugar trust, hut the laboringmen had tC
look out for themselves as best they could
under a tariff measure that robbed them
u employment and wages. Mansfield
News.
Why do you persist in such nonsensical
d chatter? Still, not great deal OF atten,
tion should be paid to the above hide
bound republican sheet because it was
never known to utter truthful word in
discussing politics
What does democracy care for the de-
pendent classes?" A good deal more than
your party of millionaires. The demo-
cratic party fought nobly for years against
the high tariff your party maintained for
the benefit Of the few as against the
many. The reduction of the tariff was
ALL in the interest Of the MASSES the de-
pendent classes. Can this be denied?
The Mansfield organ attempts to blame
The business depression on the democratic
party for reducing the tariff schedules,
when every intelligent man knows that
the said depression came on while the
Mckinley laws were still in operation,

tariff laws the clouds in the business sky

and consequently the government is
bound by every consideration of good
faith, TO soy nothing of the positive dec
larations contained in the statutes, to
keep them as good as gold, or, in other
words, to maintain the parity of the two
metals and this 1t has done and will con
tinue to do as long as the present system
exists. But II the present system Is to be
abolished, and new one established so
that private individuals and corporations
can have their own bullion coined at the
public expense and have the coins deliv-
cred to them for their private use, the gov
ernment would be under no obligation
whatever, legal or equitable, to keep them
ms good as gold, and, i'm fact, it would be
impossible for it to do so, because the coin
age would be unlimited and the volume
of silver in circulation would become go
great in proportion to the gold the gov
ernment could procure that the attempt
would necessarily fail. The most extreme
advocates of free coinage have not yet ven
tured to suggest that the government
would be under any obligation to guaran-
tee or maintain the value of silver dollars
coined without charge for private parties,
and without such guarantee 1t is clear
the dollar would be worth no more than
the commercial value of the bullion CON
tained In It, just as the Mexican dollar is
now.

We predicted that John M. Harlan's
dissenting opinion in the income tax case
was probably inspired by aspirations for a
presidential nomination. He grew so
excited in it's rendition as to make quite
a scene. 1t was evident that he proposed
TO make the people see he was in earnest.
Already his boom is under way and we
notice column articles on the advantages to
be gained by such standard bearer. He
would be close to the people, he halls
from the West, he commands the respect
of the well-to-do classes as well as the nd :

do not think Judge Harlan will ever get
there. Popularity that is bid for is not

Gresham Dead.

In the death of Secretary Gresham the
country has lost u brave and gallant sol
dier, an honest, fearless and upright
jurist, an able and brilliant cabinet off,
GER.
The Plttsburg Dispatch expresses q
tender sentiment in the death of Mr..
Gresham. That paper says "the two
years of his service as Secretary of State
have been the most trying part of his ca.
reer. 1t seems to be the fact that 1t is
due to the tax upon his strength made by
the anxieties and difficulties of the situa.
tion that he Is now dead. 1t is TO be re.
membered that he accepted that position
only because it was urged upon him as a
public duty, and there should be stern
lesson on the saperities of our politics in
the fact that the sacrifice of leaving the
bench for the cabient has been extended
to include his life. While the circum.
sances preceding his acceptance of that
position made him the especial target for
the criticisms of partisanship, no sincere
man will deny that his course in that
Office has been careful, honest and in
spirod by the, desire for justice and right.
1.-THE nation can only mourn the dead
secretary as one whose life has been given
to the public service, free from the sor-
did and corrupt features that are too com
mon in our politics. We have too few Of
that stamp in public life and can hardly
spare one who so prominently represents
the best type of political leader"

United States Senator and ex-Gover-
nor John NJ. Palmer, of Illinois, says the
Illinois democrats, headed by Altgeld,
the anarchistic governor, will undoubtedly
declare for free coinage of silver 80
cent dollars. After that says the Sena-
tor, there will be nothing to do but to
scrape the remains of the old organiza-
tion together next year. The republicans,
he thinks, will arouse the country on
the annexation Of Hawaii, possibly Cuba,
and will thus divert the attention of the
people from this free silver craze In
the meantime democratic organizations
in Illinois will go into eclipse. The
Chicago Honest Money League already
has 5000 democratic members and Is
pushing its organization throughout the

Early frosts generally do less harm
than is expected and late frosts more.
1t will probably be found that the early
frost Of May has had but little effect on
the aggregate Of the fruit crop and less
on the other crops. The price of wheat
and corn commenced to rise with rush
last week and there have been advances in
cotton, pork, pig iron, hides and many
other staples. Bank clearings are one
third higher than one year ago and at the
present rate of gain June will show the
highest level of the past fully recovered.

The Cntnnd the Mouse

Artists have put on canvass the cal
playing with the mouse, illustrating
thereby, power; ability to play with OF
to crush, just as fancy dictates.
The GAINESVILLE convention furnishes as
striking picture of this phase of life as
was ever put on canvass. Glance at the
vote for governor. 1t shows that Foraker
was the cat and the rest of the fellows,
notably the administration candidate,
was the mouse. Foraker had the conven-
ton in perfect control. He knew his
power, and never did cat play with a
mouse as did Foraker play with McKin-
ley, Sherman g. Co.
Bushnell was not even nominated 1t
wasn't necessary. On the first ballot he
received beggarly So votes. Hoyt led
with 176H, with Nash next. The casual
looker-on might have thought that Fora.
ker's man was a dead cock in the pit.
Not so however, as the second ballot
showed little increase, SO votes. The
program arranged long before the conven-
tiOn began, now begun. On the third
ballot Bushnell received 159 votes, the
fourth 347; the fifth 40 -four short Of q
nomination); sixth ballot 500, and over
the fence. Can any one look at these fig
ures and say that Foraker did not literally
play with Mckinley and the admlnistra-
tion forcesP He toyed with them as cat
would mouse, finally gobbling up the
prize. 1t was about the smoothest piece
of business ever transacted in any conven-
tlon in Ohio. Foraker won hands down.

We gather from Gov. Campbell's recent
letter to the Toledo Bee that he is for the
free coinage Of both gold and silver, but
the silver to be at ratio that will cause
the silver dollar to be worth dollar Eat
the melting pot" In other words he wants
silver dollars at a ratio that will make
them the equivalent of gold ones That
ratio will be about 32 to 1. At this ratio
silver dollar will weigh nearly: two
ounces. Nobody will object to free coin
age under such conditions. A dollar then
would carry its full value of 100 cents
with 1t and there would be no debasement
OF the currency. But that is not the kind
of dollar the mine owners want. They
are shouting for cheap dollar, a 80 cent
dollar, and plenty of them. But when
the governor says "silver should never
have been demonetized' we confess our
inability to understand him. Silver is
not demonetized. There are $423, 900, 900
of it outstanding today-some thousands
of tons more than will circulate. The
coinage has simply been stopped until we
catch up with the supply.

Young Allen Thurman says Carlisle
lies when he says the Elder Thurman
in "fS73" knowingly voted for coinage
bill with silver, except as to fractional
pieces, specifically excluded. In the first
place Carlisle did not say that Senator
Thurman voted for gold coinage in 1873
but in 1871, on the 10th of January, to
be specific. This is the first time we ever
heard 1t advanced that Senator Thur
man did not know what bill contained
that he voted for, And there is no ques-
tion of the accuracy of Mr.. Carlisle's
statement.
