The cords of window blinds are good
barometers. When they become tight,
the reason is found in the fact that the
air is moist, the cords have absorbed
some of the moisture, and so are drawn
t"ut. When they are slack, the air is
dry and the tension of the cords is re-
Taxed.

FARMERS SHOULD CONSIDER.
Farmers who think that free silver

cages should consider carefully what
effect 16 to 1 law will have on the
lenders OF capital. As soon as it becomes
likely that a free coinage law will be
lenacted there will undoubtedly be q
general demand that all mortgages shall
at once be paid in full. Where, then,
when this demand comes upon the
farmer, will he get the money to meet
the demand and save his farnP Does
any farmer believe that the man who
has money to loan will let dollar Of 1t
leave his hands while there is a posi-
bility Of his his being repaid in 90 cent
dollars? And il the farmer cannot raise
money to pay his mortgage. his home
and farm will BE sold at a sacrifice and
taken from him. Where will he be
then?

What the Republican rarty Stands For.

The Republican party stands today,
IS it has always stood, opposed TO the
continuation of an industrial policy
which cripples industry at home, robs
labor of its rewards and supplies INSULT
cient revenue to run the government. 1t
stands opposed to any change in our
financial policy which would put as
upon silver basis aud deprive us of
the use of both gold and silver as cur

that fundamental as to whether we are
TO have a government by law. The Re-

for the maintenance of law and order
and domestic tranquility. - William

work and wages-rhe Tariff.

There are two things which deeply
and personally interest tho workingmen
they are work and wages. They are not
satisfied with irregular work at made
quate wages; they want the American
standard applied to both. They are not
satisfied with steady work and poor
wages; they want regular employment
at remunerative wages, with steady
work; they want to be paid in sound
money; they do not want to lose any
part Of their hard earnings through
poor dollars, and they do not want to
be paid in dollars whose value can only
be ascertained by the daily market re-
ports. Whatever work they now have is
paid in good money, and no complaint
is made ON that score. They are salts
fed with the money, but they are not
satisfied with either the scant work or
the reduced wages. They are satisfied
with the present dollar bill, but they
are not satisfied with the present tariff
bill,-William Mckinley to Laboring

The Cat Outdid Him,

A good joke on one of Mexico's
most popular young men is going the
rounds. One night, not many moons
ago, this particular young gentleman,
who boasts of a fair voice, decided to go
and serenade his lady love, "a la
Spanish Cavalier" So, taking his
guitar, he started out and soon found
himself under the window where his
darling was dreaming, perhaps of
him.
His heart beat wildly as he touched
lightly his guitar, but mastering up
his courage he began to sing, "Oniy
one girl in this world for me-" when
a member of the thomas cat quartette,
| which organization had just finished
an engagement at a neighbours, perch
ed on the sill of the aforementioned
| window and commenced to sing the
same song, or rather a late and re-
vised version of it, in much louder
tone of voice. He sang so loud (the
thomas cat did that the young mans
voice was completely drowned, and
it was but few Monuments until fair
head made its appearance at the win
dow, and looking out on the vacant
scene, for both the serenaders had
disappeared, said in a loud tone of
voice, "You old scamp, I'd just like to
take you by the head and wiring your
neck"
The fellow now rejoices that the cat
was there.

Noticing in the LEDGER of Thursday q

When we open our works it will be

Also, with a national election before
US upon issues SO radically different,
with all the uncertainty such condi-
ton involves, we are not 30 foolish
as to "expect good business this fall"
When financial questions cease to
be the foothold of party and politicians
in this country we may look for good
business conditions, Sbut never until
that time. What other civilized ma
ton allows it's entire commercial sys-
tenn to be jeopardized every four years
at the behest of party politics and
party trickery? w. III. GOODRICH.
