A TRADE JOURNALS SUMMARY.
Various Ways In Which Money May BE
Obtained.

ODCa1n0Oe
Toaman who has no money there! are
several ways to get it-namely: !.
(a) Beg it.
(bl Steal it.
(c) Borrow it.
{d Secure it by gift.
(e) Trade something for It. ,
IF we are to beg for It, we might just
as we'll do the best we can. Therefore a.
dollar based on gold standard is better
than a sixteen to one silver dollar
which to-day is, worth about SO cents in
trinsicaIly.
If we are to steal IT, we want the best
A thief who would steal a silver dollar
in preference to gold dollar would be
acquitted on the ground that he was in
sune.
If we borrow It, we want that. kind OF
money which viii go farthest, for sowe
can get along with "a smaller loan.
Therefore gold dollar is better to Dor
row than q sixteen to one silver dollar
If we are to secure it by gift, certainly
we should not depreciate that which we
are about to receive.
This brings us to the e, which is the
way most money is obtained. a peril
nent question for each of us to ask at
this time is: What have got to trade
for money which l want? 1t may be;
labor; it may be a horse or COW; it may
be lumber or shingles; it may be a saw
mill. AT the present time we can trade
any Of the above and get gold dollar
for every dollars worth of value, as may
be agreed upon between buyer and SELL
er. We can get q dollar which is worth
dollar anywhere and everywhere.
Now, your labor or horse OF cow or
lumber or machinery will be worth just
as much, or nearly as much, next year
rs 1t is this, but if we have free coinage
at sixteen to one will the dollar which
YOU get in trade be worth as much as
the dollar you can get now? What will
that Ike worth? Can you tell? It may
be worth 50 cents Or more or less. One
day this, one day that, but can anyone
tell? These are all pertinent questions,
and, when carefully considered, must
guide Ills in voting at the next election in
November, and do not lose sight of the
TACT that if all the silver in the world is
coined into money you cannot get a cent
OF it except by a, b, c, d or e, above re-
1erred to-Lumber Trade Journal.

In 1892 the Democrats promised
'Lowprices aid prosperity" In 1896
they promise High prices and pros
perity." The people elected the DEM
ocrats in 1892 and got the low prices,
sure enough, but didn't get the pros
perity. Who wants high prices and
no prosperity in 1899? The democrat
ic party has made record for promis-
ing prosperity and showing inability
to deliver. the goods"

The pilgrimages Of enthusiastic
voters to Canton continue to increase
in numbers, and Maio McKinley's
speeches grow better and better. His

which characterizes his utterances,

country and daily strengthening the
sound money cause.

tuted for real hooks. Wampum was
the currency of the more civilized In
dian tribes in New England and Long
Island. 1t consisted Of white beads,
made from the ends of q periwinkle shell
or black beads made from O clam shell
arranged in strings Or belts. It became
the official money in New England ind
New Amsterdam and lost it's place as
money between 1850 and 1900. when the
Smart Alexis" among the whites i've
gan to debase it by leaving the beads
unpublished Or unpierced or by making
them of bone, horn, glass, and even Of
wood. The colonists legislated much
trying to fix prices, and to save wam-
pun from declining in value, but it was
being produced too cheaply. Natural
law was against il, and it hnd to go
down.
The use of shells as money Ia still
common on many tropical coasts. Their
wide use is probably due to the strong
passion, common to primitive man, for
personal adornment. This gives shells n
permanent value. Besides they are very
durable, comparatively light and are
convenient for small change. Whales
teeth, arrowheads, beads. tusks of ivory
and engraved stones are some OF the
other money materials of this later
stage of civilization.

No More Silver States.

Plain Denlcr--
The trye position of the Republic
can purty in regard to the free
coinage Of silver 1, more clearly
shown in the attitude of Republic
can leaders aud newspapers toward
the territories s"cking admission
to the union than in platform dec
larations and partisan speeches.
New Mexico, Arizona an OklahO-
ma are Knocking for admission but
Speaker Reed has issued orders
that they shall not he allowed to
enter. Republican newspapers are
pruislng him and the independent
goldbug papers contribute their APP
proval. The Chicago Times-ller-
aid says: "Speakcr Reed will un.
doubtedly 'fnterpos lis authority
to prevent the dangerous Rcpubli-
can majority from add ny any
more money lunntics at present to
the senate of the United States, or
to the too ample contingent Of the
same class, although less mischiev.
Gus, in the house"
That sounds like ante-bellum
talk, Since the war it has been
customary to admit territories
when they were ready for state
hood without much regard for the
views of the voters on the tariff,
money or other political questions,
but the Republican leaders have
decided that they cannot assist in
establishing any more free silver
states. The people Of New Mexico
Oklahoma and Arizona must fall
down and worship the golden calf
or remain outside of the union of
states

The Columbus Sensation.
Plain Dealer.

Plain Dealer
The news from Columbus that
indictments have been found
against several former members o. +
the general assembly is gratifying
as showing that at least some prog
ress is being made in discovering
the facts about the corruption
which existed in the last legisla-
ture. TO convict on the charge Of
bribery Is Il difficult task in this
state, but even If conviction should
not result, the officers of the law
will not be entirely fruitless, for
the developments at The trials Of
the accused cannot fail to be inter
esting and shed light in dark
places.
The action of the Franklin coun-
ty grand jury Is II vinLication for
ex.G0v. Campbell, whose charge
made during the last campaign
that the legislature teemed with
corruption has been 80 often deni-
ed by Republican newspapers and
stump speakers. Within the past
few days, because the grand jury
had not reported, number of Re-
publican papers declared that
Campbell had been utterly unable
to prove his charges aud II Repub-

No question Of politics should en-.
ter into the investigation and pros.
ecItion. Ii Democrats are accused
no honest Democrat will put the
smallest obstacle in the way Of
those who are trying 10 ascertain
the truth. The position OF all Dem
ocrats should be as emphatic as
that Of Judge Thurman when he
was prosecuting alleged tally sheet
forgers and as courageous as that
of Campbell when as governor he
denounced the men whom he be-
lieved to be dishonest and called a
special session Of the legislature to
turn them 'out. II the ex-gov-
ernor shall assist In purifying his
own party as well as In furnishing

membered that young Doebele and
Lindley, In their boyish anxiety
for possession of something that

there by II. O. Kittsmiller. Both

tall, the former entered the build
ing by the latter's assistance, and
handed out the goods. The boys

brought before the grand jury,
Both stood on equal ground: same
age, same crime, equally rs guilty.
In the case of Lindley, he was in.
dicted for burglary and larceny,
but DeObele was but indicted for
larceny. The former Is peniten-
tiary offense and Lindley was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for two
years, and the latter is but Jail
Ofrense, and Doel ele could be but
sentenced to jail for 30 days. All
this the court recited in talking on
the case AMI said IL was impossible
for him to understand how the
grand jury could bring such a diff.
erence in indictments. Judge
IIutfm said that the jury were
certainly wrongly Informed in the
matter, or as rum0r had put IL,

misled the jury that he would GER
tainly deal severely with the Of

that there could be but one degree

such degree both Of the boys should
have suffered alike. lie said there
had certainly been Dartiality shown
in the case Of the two boys, and II
such is true, the whole system Of
