zHE DBM0CRAT'S DUTY.

As between Bryan and Nc
Kinley, there seems to the dem
ocrat who is opposed to free
coinage at the present ratio
independent of other nations,
but small choice. Yet when
the single issue OF free coinage
is put aside, there still remains
ample reason for all democrats
to stand by the nominee.
Though Bryan and the free sill
yer contingency may be mis-
taken in regard to the financial
question, yet it must be believ-
ed that they are honestly mis-
taken. In the other leading
features of the platform they
are equally honest-and these
are Enthusiastically democratic
Theirs is as Senator Hill him
self not long since declared,
more in democracy than the
single Issue of free silver. The
democratic platform declares
for that greatest of all demo
cratic principles "tariff for re
venue only" and firmly opposes
the importation of foreign pau
per labor. On the other hand,
is the republican platform with
its high protective tariff policy,
which means more wealth for
the manufacturing barons and
higher prices for the consumers;
more riches for the rich,- more
poverty for the poor; greater
power for the corrupt syndic
ates, and less liberty or hap
piness for the people. It means
the old force bill again too, it
means a repetition of all the
evils which rapacIty and cor
rupiion under former republi
can administrations have per
petrated, more pension frauds,
more reckless extravaganza.
When the question is consider
ed calmly, and the issue is
plainly seen in this light, it
must seem clear to all demo
Gratis that their first duty is to
oppose with all their might
their hereditary political foe,
and tEis can only be done by
supporting Bryan and Sewall.
In the words of the New York
Journal, which has bitterly op-
posed the silver party, 1ut has
determined to support the de-
fnocratic ticket, "Gold men may
vote for gold candidates, silver
men for silver candidates, and
bimetaflists for bimetslIists,
but nobody who realizes what
is at stake in this eompaign
can vote to abandon govern
ment of the people by the peo-
pie, for the people, ia favor Of
government of Mckinley, by
Hama, for syndicate"

whisky are evidently confused.
The public notion has always
been that crude or freshly dis
titled whisky was injurious and
that it required the mellowing
influence of age to make it fit
for consumption. In other
words, new whisky was held to
be deIeterions because it con-
tanned fusel oil and that the
reason why old whisky was
more wholesome was because
this fusel changed in course of
time to the SO called oenanthic
ether. To put it chemically,
the amyl alcohol (fusel OLD
oxidizes slowly into amyl ether
which is not only thought to
be innocnous but to improve the
flavor. The Deputy Principal
of the Inland Revenue Branch
of the Government Laboratory
would remove these notions at
one sweep Thus, in reply to
a question before the Liquor
Commission on Tuesday last he
stated-and it was a repeated
slatement-that it was a mis-
take to suppose that new spir-
its contained more fusel oil and
were more unwholesome than
old.
With the former part of bis
statement we will not now deal,
but to the latter we distinctly
demur. 1t can not be snppos
ed that whisky merchants take
the trouble to store their whisky
for years unless they know
that it is thereby improved
from the dietetic point Of view.
Again, it is well known that so
convinced are the authorities
of the Canadian Government Of
the unwholesomenesn Of new
whisky that we believe they
have a regulation in force pro-
hibiting the sale Of whisky
that has not been stored for a
certain number Of years. Fusel
oil is admittedly injurious-in-
deed, MISUNDERSTANDING, at
least. to the experiments of
several observers. In one case,
for example, 1 part of amyl al
cohol in 500 parts of water
caused anaesthesia in frogs in
twenty minutes, the hearts &C
ton Becoming slower, the skin
dark, death occurring in about
two hours, and the cardiac pull
sations gradually ceasing. The
common effect of fusel oil is to
produce intense headache, and
it must be horne in nina
that in the case Of whisky
the action of alcohol must
be added to that of the
fusel oil. The amount of fusel
oil, we believe, in whisky aver
ages about 0.2 per cent. These
observations hardly bear out
the statements made before the
commission. Incidentally We
may add that it is exceedingly
satisfactory TO find that The
consensus of opinion of th'
witnesses before this commits
sion appears to be that there il

PRESIDENTS FROM
SMALL TOWNS.

NC Vi dOlSS vi IuOob VI Jul
Presidents stood in small towns
or villages. Very seldom has
one of the bigger cities given
to the country the highest ex-
ecutive officer.
This is a fact with the Vice
Presidents also, and the defeat
ed candidates for both Offices.
The house OF the first President
was on plantation in Virginia,
far away from Mt. Vernon, the
nearest town, Both Adamses
came from Quincy, Mass; JEFF
ferson had his home in Month
cello, Va, Madison was an or
binary country gentleman,
whose homestead was near
Montpelier, Va. The smother
of the Presidents" was at the
Juvenile age of the Republic
the State of Virginia. Monroe
came from Oak Hill, Va, but
with him closes the list Of Pres
idents from that State.
jackson called himself a
farmer OF Tennessee. His coun-
try place, the Hermitage, was
near Nashville, Tenn. Van
Buren, lived in the village of
Undertook, on the Hudson;
the first Harrison in North
Bend; Polk in Nashville, Tenn;
Taylor, after quitting the army
as an officer, made his home in
Baton Rouge.
A great number of Presidents
came from the. North. Pierce
came from Concord, n. H;
Buchanan from Springfield, Pa !;
Grant from Galena, Hayes from
Fremont, a small place in Ohio,
and Garfield came from the lit
tie village of Mentor. The three
Vice Presidents who after the
death of the Presidents elected
with them took their offices
came also from the country.
TyIer's home was in Williams
burg, Va; Johnson's in Green
vile, a small place in the
mountains of Tennessee, and
Arthur was born in Cayuhoga.
Harrisons cradle stood in
Hamilton county, Ohio, Cleve
lands birthplace was New
Jersey.
This is owing perhaps 10 the
small number of bigger cities
which were in exis ence years
ago. In 1910 New York had
only $4,000 inhabitants 800
less than Philadelphia. Even
day small towns are in the
majority. The last census
shows that in the United States
are 3,715 villages, towns and
cities with more than 1000 in
habitants, but only few have
more than 10000 each. More
than onehalf of the So, 100000
population of the United States
lived In places with legs than
1 900 inhabitants; not two per
cent of the whole population

small portion Of the citizens OF
the United States live in capital
cities.
