STEPHEN B, ELKHSS FOR SILVER.
He Said so in a Speech in 1894
Before the State League Of
Republican Clubs,
AT FAIRMosT, On JUNE 10TH.
Vow He's for Gold His Speech al
Parkersburg Very Different from
the One at Fairmont.


United States Senator Stephen b.
Elkins spoke before the State League
of Republican Clubs, in this city, on
June 10Th, 1894. In his speech on
that occasion he said:
"The President, followed, by that
section of the party, the gold mono
metalists, who advocate gold ba-
sis, which means increasing the debts
Of the debtor classes, and decreasing
the value Of property, seized upon
the pretext that the Sherman act
was the cause Of panic and trouble,
and declared its repeal would restore
prosperity. : = But in all this
there was great wrong done; it
was the crime against silver. The
President and the gold monopolists
who follow him in attempting to ac-
count for the panic under false pre-
lenses, discredited silver at home
and abroad, and dealt 1t the worst
blow it ever had, although England
and Germany are moving for bimet-
allism and the larger use of silver,
the President remains silent and
sends no representative of our gov
eminent to cooperate in this move
ment.
Silver is the money of the Con
stitution as well as gold; the people
will have silver for money and fight
for it, and the contest will not end
until it has its proper place in the
monetary system of the country.
'The people are too intelligent to
permit values to be measured by
gold alone, the production of which
is constantly diminishing in the
world This would make money dearer
and property cheaper. Silver should
be used as well as gold, and the par
ity between both maintained. The
time will come when the silver in
the Treasury will perform the func-
tons of money as of old, and the
trouble will be that there is not toe
much of it, but too little"
The following portions of his two
speeches do not exactly agree as a
careful reading will show:
AT FAIRMoNT.
although England and Germany
are now moying.for bimetallism and
the larger use Of silver, the Presi-
dent (Cleveland) remains silent"
THE time will come when the sill
yer in the Treasury will perform the
functions of money as of old, and the
trouble will be that there is not toe
much of it, but too little"
THE people are too intelligent to
permit values to be measured by
gold alone, the product of which is
constantly diminishing in the world.

and should have it abundantly and

ident he did all in his power to stop

"The trouble is that silver in the
last thirty years has become tee

justify its free and unlimited coin
age"

the standard of value if the quaint.

minishing. ~ y ssBut as long as

In each Of these years it will be
seen that there was more gold than
silver produced in the world. From
1873 to 1881 the gold product greatly
exceeded that of silver. Yet, In spite
of this surplus of gold, silver began
steadily to fall after the year 1873,
which shows that the fall must be at
tributed to that law and to nothing
else. Here are the figures:

Patriotism or selfishness.

1t is question just how far selfish
ness is moving the gold standard peo-
pie in this campaign. As our finan-
cial policy is now shaped there is no
doubt the Influence and power of the
millionaire money magnates of New
York and other money centers is un-
duly great, and of course they do not
want it changed. The fact that these
people have the power to stop the flow
of gold to Europe whenever they
choose to do so is an indication of
their great power. That they have
done this in the recent past, and have
agreed to continue this policy until
after the November election in order
to prevent further bond issues, which
would mean disaster to the gold stand
ard cause, is a pretty clear demonstra-
tion of their selfishness, not their pat
riotism, as claimed by the gold stand
ard press and people. Had it been
patriotism it would have been brought
to bear to prevent the bond issues
which have been made under the pres
ent administration; but instead, all
the power of these money kings was
used to force the government to make
large loans that they might reap a
rich harvest off the people. Now they
cry out against change of financial
policy, not because they have the in
terest of the people at heart, but for
the reason that it will take away from
them the power to squeeze the life
blood out of the people for their own
personal gain. Out upon such pat
riots! Down with a policy that en-
ables a very few to grow rich by con-
trolling the monetary affairs of the
government to the detriment of the
great masses of the common people.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

To keep off the mice and rabbits
rub on axle grease lightly for two feet
from the ground. Keep all loose bark
rubbed off the trees, for under these
scales is where insects like to hide.
How can we know of the presence
Of the root louise? You can judge from
the knotty and woody appearance of the
root and its blush or grayish color: an
other tendency is to send out a large
number of rootlets, these indicate the
presence of root lice.
As we approach the northern limits
of the apple belt, the number of varie-
ties that can endure the climate rapidly
diminishes. Obviously then, the num-
Der of varieties of first quality that may
be grown on the northern confines of
the apple region must be comparatively
very small.
The apple leaf crumpler is an orchard
insect of peculiar economic importance,
because it winters on the tree not more
than half grown and attacks the young
leaves as fast as they put forth in
spring. 1t thus does vastly greater
mischief than it could little later in
the season.-Farmers' Voice.

THERMOMETER TESTS.
How You Can Tell Whether Your Hes

How You Can Tell Whether Your Heat
Marker Is Reliable or Not.
To tell whether thermometer &C.
curately does its work, invert the in
strument. If the mercury does not fall
small columns, the thermometer con-
tains air and is inaccurate. If perfect
made, the slender thread should fill the
tube, or should break off at the bulb
and fall to the end of the tube.
There is another interesting fact
about thermometers. Nine persons
out of ten think the mercurial column
round, but that is not the case. The
thread of mercury in thermometers lie
fat. If it were round the column could
hardly he seen, for the opening of the
tube is as fine as the finest thread. Some
eight or ten years ago Boston manu-
facturer introduced the scheme of coat
ing the back of the tube with white siz-
ing. That makes the column of mer-
curry stand out plain and distinct.
Thermometers are cheaper and bet
ter than ever before. You can now buy
a Matchmaker for rs cents, but first
class instrument will cost you So. A
cheap instrument is like cheap watch
it is unreliable. The reason for this
is that perfect thermometer has
scale of its own. The cheap thermom-
eter is made on guesswork. Hence,
you see a difference of two, three or five
degrees between thermometers in the
same locality on the same day.
The most sensitive Matchmaker is the
radiometer, which was invented by
Mr.. Crookes. 1t consists of four arms
suspended on a steel pivot, rotating
like miniature wind gauge, and the
whole affair is inclosed in a glass tube
from which the air has been exhausted.
The light lof a candle one or two feet
away causes the arms to rotate. Quite
as sensitive is the thermopile, which is
used to detect the faint rays of heat
transmitted from the moon and stars
to this cold world.

WORK OF HONEY BEES.
Calculations in Regard to the Nectar CO
lected by Them.

Calculations in Regard to the Nectar Col
lected by Them.
A writer in the Revue DIES Sciences
Naturelles makes the following calcu-
lations in regard to the work done
the honey bee: When the weather is
fine, a worker can visit from 40 to
50 flowers in six to ten trips and
collect a grain of nectar. If it visits
200 or 400 flowers, it will gather five
grains. Uuder favorable circumstances,
it will take a fortnight to obtain
Is grains. 1t would, therefore. take sew
eral years to manufacture pound of
honey, which will fill about 5000 cells.
A hive contains from 10000 to $4,000
bees, half of which prepare the honey,
the other half attending to the wants of
the hive and the family. On fine day,
10000 or 10000 individuals will, in six
or ten trips, be able to explore from
100000 to 100000 flowers, say several
hundred thousand plants. Again, the
locality must be favorable for the prep
aration of the honey, and the plants
that produce the most nectar must
flourish near the hive. A hive inhabited
by 10000 bees may, therefore, under IA
vorable conditions, receive about two
pounds of honey a day.
