The people do not appear to fully
comprehend the advantage that sill
yer standard countries possess over
the gold standard countries on ac-
count of the use of standard money
of stable purchasing power in the
silver standard countries and stan
dard money in the gold standard
countries which has been doubled
in its purchasing power in the last
twenty years and is still growing
dearer. We hope the following
statement will make it clear:
The people of every country have
large obligations in the shape of
interest, taxes and other fixed charg-
es which must be paid in money.
The people of the silver standard
countries get in their money for
everything they sell in the gold
standard countries about double
the numb Der of dollars for the same
commodities that the people of the
gold standard countries get in gold
for the commodities they sell in
foreign markets. 1t is argued that
a gold dollar is more valuable than
silver bullion sufficient to make a
silver dollar. This is true in the
gold standard countries, but for all
practical purposes silver dollars in
silver standard countries are as
good as the gold dollars in the gold
standard countries.
Silver coin will pay the same
amount of debts, taxes, and other
fixed charges in the silver standard
countries that gold coin will pay in
the gold-standard countries. This
is not denied, and it is very inn
portant consideration, because it
takes double the amount of COM
modities in gold standard countries
to discharge the same amount Of
fixed obligations that it does in the
silver-standard countries. Our fixed
obligations of all the people and
the government aEe variously, esti-

mated to be between three and four
thousand millions, which must be
paid each year out of the products
of labor before anything can be
realized as net profit. If these OBJ
legations could be paid with one
half of the produce of labor with
which they can now be paid, a
crushing load would be removed
from the industries of the country.
This increased burden of fully one
half has been imposed by the in
crease in the purchasing power of
money since the gold standard was
adopted. 1t is an unjust and ar
bitrary burden imposed by vicious
legislation and ought to be removed.
Besides, silver dollars, in the sill
yer standard countries, will buy as
much OF the commodities produced
in those countries as gold dollars in
gold standard countries will buy of
the commodities produced in gold
standard countries. If it be sug-
gested that the silver standard
countries have a lower rate of wages
than in this country, the answer is,
that that condition existed in more
marked contrast than it now does
before silver was demonetized, and
that it has been grea tly aggravated
to the disadvantage of gold standard
countries since the difference of ex-
change was produced by the de.
monetization ofsilver. In addition
to all this, the dollars which the
silver standard countries use give
them protective tariff of about one
hundred per cent. Whatever they
buy abroad they are compelled to
pay twice as many dollars for as
they would be compelled to pay if
there was no difference of exchange.
The result is that exports are enor-
mously stimulated by stable money
at home, which keeps up wages and
furnishes employment to all, and a
protective tariff which excludes
foreign competition.
This unequal contest between the
producers of the gold standard
countries and the producers of the
silver standard countries first re-
duced the price of farm products
sold in Europe below the cost of
production in this country, and has
already caused a marvellous develop
ment with modern machinery in
manufactures in silver countries,
because the manufacturers of the
Orient have a similar advantage
over the manufacturers of this
country which the agriculturalists
of the silver standard countries en-
Joy over the agriculturalists of the
gold standard countries If it is
possible to mitigate this evil by ex-
tremely high tariffs, so far as inn
ported manufactures are concerned,
no tariff can relieve the agricultural
industry of the country, which fur
nishes our exports and which must
pay for what we import and pay
foreign obligations, from the disas-
trous competitions which now ex-
lists with the silver standard coun
tries in the European market for
agricultural commodities.

Charivari Party Refused to Cease
Its Din and the
Groom's Father Emptied Shot Gun
Into the Crowd.

Newark, o. june 25.-P. B. Evan:
blacksmith of Utica. a village in the
northern part of Licking county, was
brought here early this morning aud
placed in the county jail, charged
with murder. Yesterday afternoon
his daughter, Lille Evans, was mar
rei to Henry Latham. Late last night
about forty of the young men of the
village gathered around the Evans
home, and, with horns, drums and tin
pans, sought to compel the groom to
show himself. Evans came TO the
door and ordered them to desist.
They would not do so. Stepping in
the house Evans returned with a
shotgun.
He discharged one barrel of the
gun into the ground. Failing in his
effort to drive them away, he fired the
other barrel into the crowd. 1t was
loaded with heavy No. 3 shot, and it
took effect in the abdomen of James
Arlington one of the jewellers. Ar
rington was picked up. Drs. Smith,.
of the village, and Larimore, of Mt.
Vernon, were called. They attempted
to relieve him by an operation, but it.
was not successful and he died this
forenoon. The dead man is a native
of the village, a hay bailer, and leaves
a wife and two children. Evans does
not seem to realize the gravity of the
There is some bitter feel
ing over the affair.

The most brilliant society event OF
the season in Cloverport was the we'd
ding ofMr, George Reese, of Pineville
and Miss Genevive Miller, of this city,
last Thursday evening, June IS, al
1880 o'clock in the Baptist church.
A reception was held at the resi-
dence of F. N. D'Huy, where the hap.
Ply couple received the congratulations
of relatives and friends. At 9:20
they boarded the west-bound express
for Pineville.
The groom is the cashier of the
Pineville National Bank. young man
of prominence, wealth and promise,
while the bride is beautiful, accom-
plished and lovable, youngest daugh-
ter of p. S. Miller, a prominent citi-
zen of this county, now engaged in
the Internal Revenue service. She
is-well, no man is too good for her.
CIoverport society is big loser, de-
prived of the sunshine of her presence,
but Pineville is a gamer just to the ex-
tent our of lose, and the News extends
congratulations to the bride and
groom and to the good people of the
picturesque little mountain city,

ness the pageant.
Horr and Harvey, in the great Chi.
cago debate on the silver question
which lasted eight days, attracted the
attention of the world. They are
two best posted men on the subject
in Americs.
Thij question is the burning ques-
ton of the hour, and is now out of
politics, as the people of all parties
have different view of the money
question. On the morning of July
fourth Hon. Roswell u. Horr will. in
his own inimitable wav, talk money
favoring gold as the standard. In the
afternoon Mr.. w. II. Harvey, the
author of "Coin," will favor the free
coinage of silver. This discussion
will attract National attention, and
should draw thousands of people from
all parts of Kentucky. Nothing so
dignifying and worthy of patronage
could possibly be offered Oh a Fourth
OF July occasion. AT night the Tyro-
lean Troubadors in costume will
give a delightful concert of Swiss
warbling and Elmer p. Ransom will
mystify with his feats of magic. Let
everybody come and enjoy this great
day. Excursion trains with low
rates will come from all directions.
In addition to all this the Little
Knights Templar Commandery
from the Masonic Orphans Home at
Louisville will give an exhibition
drill. Fine companies of the State
Guard will also be there and give
drills and a sham battle. A great
musical programe will also be given
Chautauqua this year will be the
greatest in its history. Special train
will leave after the performance at
night.

Notes For Women.

Worsted dress goods after washing
should not be wrung, but shaken out
a pinch of salt added to the white
of eggs will make them beat VI
quicker aud lighter.
Some people claim that sugar should
always be put in the cup first, then
the coffee poured over it.
, Clear, black coffee diluted with
water and containing little ammonia,
it is said, will clear and restore black
clothes.
Meat and fowls may be made more
tender if, when they are boiling, a
teaspoonful of vinegar be added 10
the water.
Woodwork and floors are now
stained with color called forest green.
1t harmonizes with draperies and COW
erings of almost any color.
According to wholesale furniture
dealer the best furniture polish is
made of one-third alcohol and two
thirds sweet oil. Apply it with soft
cloth and rub with another cloth.
An excellent paste for refining the
complexion is composed of three
ounces of ground barley, one ounce of
honey and the white of an egg. This
is to be spread at night on the cheeks,
nose and forehead, and washed of in
the morning with tepid water.
Very few mothers, says a writer,
take sufficiently pains to provide
handkerchiefs for their children.
Many child would make much more
use of this article if were better look

are so inexpensive that no one ought
to be deprived of the pleasure of hav-
ing reasonable supply, and that of

Here's the Count.

For free coinage, SIC; for the gold
standard, 34S.
Forty-two more votes would give
silver the two-thirds majority.
The States have all declared them
selves, and it is known how the vote
will stand for and against free silver
at Chicago, The free silver people
will go to the convention with $40
votes, while the gold standard will
have 34S. Thus it will be seen that
silver lacks but AZ votes of the neces-
sary two-thirds, which is 6l2, there
being 9lS votes in the convention.
Below we give tabulated statement
of the vote:
