KEEPING CHILDREN AT HOME.
They Should Be Given q Room for The
Own Use.

They Should Be Given Room for Their
Own Use.
There are few investments that par
ents can make which will pay so large
profits as amnsements that will keep
their sons ana daughters at home OF
evenings.
AT almost any sacrifice of comfort it
is worth while to set apart a room in
the house that the children may call
their own. In this each one may have
a cupboard OF closet where his or her
belongings in the way of books, toys
and trinkets may be kept undisturbed
by other hands. Of course, if each child
can have his or her own room, so much
the better; indeed, it is becoming an
unwritten law that separate beds are
necessary for children, and separate
rooms, if the situation of the family will
permit it.. 1t costs but little in building
house to, provide an extra ROOM, if
this cannot be afforded, there is almost
always an attic that could be made
tolerable as a play-room at a small ex-
pense.
In one family where there are many
children, the dining-room, which is the
largest apartment in the house, has
been, by sort of general consent.
turned over to the little ones every
evening after the last meal Of the day.
They may spread their toys and books
ON the table, turn somersaults over the
floor, play antics of all sorts with the
furniture, and nobody objects so long
rs they do not indulge in breakage and
auarreing. The line is drawn at that
point The din is something dreadful
but there are two wise parents who
have learned by careful study Of the
children in the neighborhood that noise
at home is a good deal better than sly
wickedness abroad. The result Of this
course is that there is scarcely sugges
ton of going out of evenings. When
the children are invited 10 the neigh
bors' they sometimes meet the invita-
ton with sigh and the remark: "Oh,
suppose we will have to got" They
are always delighted when their little
friends come to see them, because they
declare they can have SO much more
fun at home.
This is a healthfnl and hopeful state
OF affairs. There is no greater compile
ment that can be paid to parents than
TO have the children always willing to
remain in the house. It shows good
feeling and fellowship between parent
and child, and an absence of the dread
and fear that is one of the most pathetic
phases of child-life. The little ones
who live under a continual cloud. who
fear to express an idea or give utterance
to thought in the presence of their
parents, are greatly to be pitied, and
such children are far too plenty in
e.ery quarter of our wide land.-N. T..

MR., BRYAN'S SPEECH.

Mr.. Bryan S speech in New York last
week was in all respects great one. Ii
was Gladstonian-calm, dispassionate, and
with that masterful strength that comes
from sincerity and broad wisdom. 1t was
a great disappointment to the New YORK
press that with the exception OF the Jour
nal) is unanimous against him. and which
looked for an effort at florid rhetorical
display which they might attack with ef
feet. As the n. Y. Financial Record says
Those who went to hear ''tirework" oratory
were disappointed. Those who looked for
''boy orator to fill the air with boy rhetoric
found they had come to the wrong shop
Those who-were looking for careless, over
confident, slapdash talk that could be knock
ed to pieces by cool-headed men, found them
selves up againsta brick wall of logic agains,
which they could butt their heads to the
injury only of their skulls.
The speech was written in Nebraska
Square Garden. AS Mr.. Bryan said after
wards -''Some insisted that reading would
be a disappointment to those present.
appreciated the force Of the suggestion, but
finally concluded that it would be better to
disappoint those who listened than to risk
an unfair or partial report by the opposi
tion press"
The speech will be used as a campaign
document by the National Democratic
Committee, and be one of the best ever issu'
ed in campaign. We hope our readers will
not miss the portions Of the speech which
our space admits of our publish ing this
morning.

A CASE OF ESTABLISHING A PARI-
TY BY LAW. +5''

A few nights ago at one of the hotels, a
young Staunton lawyer was listening to- a
disputant who was arguing that it was i'm.
possible to make Fifty cents worth OF sill
YER dollar, that no law on earth col ld do
it.
"Look here my FRIEND" said the young
lawyer, ''over thirty years ago the United
States government, without the co-opera
ton of other nations, passed a law making
an ignorant black negro. just out of slavery,
the equal of you and as citizen. To do
it it violated the constitution, it violated
the opinion of the world, and it violated
common sense. But it established parity
as citizen of to and it has maintained
it for over thirty years, and the Negrois CIR
culating today at par as voter and in
close elections he sometimes goes to a
premium. When Law can take a
man in 1865 with little more intelligence
than mule, just out of slavery, who
could not read or write and make him a
Judge of the constitution of the Unified
States, participant in the government Of
the United States, and an arbiter at the
polls on the most Important economic
questions 9he world has seen. you needn't
tell me that it can't make 5O-cent dollar
worth hundred cents, and keep it there. -

THE FIRST BENEFICIARIES Of
FREE SILVER.

The earliest beneficiarjes of free coinage

countries. A WI er in the New YORK
.jo2ts,aGI thus descf pes the operation
FOR instance. leu lnces of silver Will still
h,,v q hundred hushe of wheat in India and
Law it down N Liverpool. Formerly the nun
dred ounces Of silver cost the Liverpool mer-
chant sl2q Now it costs him $50. Thus, by
bafng able to buy 100 ounces of silver in the
United States for S65 in gold, he is able to
bny 400 bushels Of wheat in India for $65 in
gold. and that is all he will give the wheat
growers in The United States Hence. by SELL
ing our silver to the English merchant at 90
cents an ounce, we ,euable him to beat down
the price of wheat in the United States to It's
price in silver in India. What is true OF wheat
is true of cotton and Of other things produced
in direct competition with silver-using coun-
tines. England BUYS our silver at half price,
lakes it to the Orient, gets full price for it in
their money, converts it into goods. brings the
goods here, and sells them to US for gold.
This would all be at once stopped if the Eng
lish merchant had to pay again $1.29 an ounce
for silver bullion, OF practically that. as he
doubtless would under free coinage.
"Reing unable, then, to buy his hundred
| ounces of silver for less than 1929, he could
| not get his supply Of wheat or cotton for less
than the former gold prices, and consequently
| the diffetonce between gold prices here and
silver prices there would disappear. This
| consideration is alone enough to determine
| The people Of this country not to play into the
| hands Of the British gold trust any longer"
| The effect on and will, We think, be
quite as early. The holders of an abundant
currency always hunt up land for invest
! ment. From 1866 to 1874 the citizens OF
| the Union States who had made fortunes
| were so anxious for a ''safe" Investment
of their greenbacks that they bought land
at high rate i'll the South. Hardly ha(
| hostilities ceased before they began. Blu
what, we think, will act first of any ant
everything VIII he the effect on the popula
mind-the sense OF having thrown off finan
| ciaI slavery and being free once more; tn
sense Of having tried and proved its owl
| strength; the sense of the People havins
stepped up into The place of Kings. In th'
present state OF hopeless depression in al
| classes who earn living by work or trade
! it is not easy TO understand the change
that would take place, but it would be plail
enough then.

" CALLING 4 HALT"

The Staunton correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun writing on Friday last sends
that paper the following entirely fresh y
news: 500
--latest advices received from Augusta
county indicates that halt has been called
in the free silver movement. and that there is
disposition among the farmers to study the
matter before committing themselves to- it. -
1t is rather coincidence that on the day
the news of a halt being called came
the VINDICATOR received several
Republican farmers as subscribers on
account Of free silver. We can't
recollect when before this Demo-
cratic paper has, while campaign was
progressing, gotten Republican subscribers.
We take it from this that shalt" has not
yet been called among the Republican
farmers. The fact is that the farmers Of
Augusta, Democrats and Republicans,
have been studying both free silver and the
deplorable condition Of the farming interest
for severe, years. and have made up their
s.inds. No power on earth can ''call q
haiti on them n0w-it is toe. late.
