The Medicine Closet.

Every we'll regulated household has a
medicine closet. This does not mean that
a whole cupboard out of tho scant supply
of the average fat must be given over to
medicine bottles and plasters.
There are on sale at all furnishing stores
and at most of the dry goods shops medi-
cine cabinets, varying in size and in make,
but all Of them falling within the average
housekeepers means. One of these should
be fastened out of reach Of the children in
the mothers room.
The properly equipped medicine cabinet
is at least half closed and locked. In this
compartment the poisons which are house
hold remedies should be kept. Ammonia
and alcohol belong to this class as we'll as
laudanum and arnica. Salves, lotions and
the like may be kept on the unguarded
shelf compartment.
Antidotes for poisons, liniments for
stings, cuts and bruises, plasters and
plenty of material for bandages should be
kept in the closet. Mustard, ready to mako
o plaster, should be there. Witch hazel, for
sores and burns, should not be forgotten,
nor the helpful, simple soda, nor potash
for gargling. 1t is an excellent idea to
have tackled to the door of the cabinet a
typewriter list of things to do and reme-
dies to give in emergencies. .-Exchange.

A WASHINGTON dispatch that the
State Department has received a
report from United States Consul
General Karel, at st. Petersburg, in
relation to the amount of American
gold held by the Russian govern
ment. He says that on January / he
saw $50, ,769, lis in United States gold
coin in the Golfers of the Russian
government. He was invited, with
the consuls of other countries at st.
Petersburg, to witness the transfer
of 50,0O0,0 900 rublesingold ($3S, 900, ,0OO
from the Russian Treasury to the
exchange fund of the government
bank, where it was needed for re-
demption of paper rubles. Included
in this store Of gold he saw 14,371, ,756
rubles ($11, 900, ,OOO) in value of United
States half-eagles. While the coin
age of all the nations of the world
was represented in this particular
pile of gold, no other nation except
Russia herself came anywhere near
the amount from the United States.
Japan came next, with only 1,678, ,519
rubles ($1, 200, ,000) worth ofyen, while
of British gold there were pounds
sterling to the amount of less than
10000 rubles.-Bradstreets.

The Money Question.

Hon. John A. Buchanan, OF New
Philadelphia, and the Chairman of
the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee for the nth District, has de-
voted a labored and somewhat
lengthy article to a consideration OF
the money question, to show that
great danger lies in the path of free
coinage of Silver at the ratio of 10 to
/. As a cllncher, he says:
''In the distinetively silver stand
ard countries-Mexico, China and
Japan--farm products are lower and
labor cheaper than anywhere else in
the world.
Seems to us that this is an unfor-
tunate citation for Mr.. Buchanan's
argument; for the people Of those
countries have less money per head
than the people of ''any where else
in the world" with the exception of
Servia, Turkey, Central American
States, India and Bulgaria.
In China, the circulation of money
is $2.08 per capita; in Mexico, the cir
cuiation of money is S471 per capita
-0.41 in gold; $4.13 in silver; OH in
paper; in Japan, the ciculation of
money is $409 per captia-$1.95 in
gold and $214 in silver; in Bulgaria
the circulation of money per capita is
81. 1.76-$1. SO in silver and 0.1S in gold.
France has the largest per capita
circulation of any country in the
world-$36. 70; in gold, $21.54; in silver,
$12. 85; in paper $2.31.
The United States has per capita
circulation of $25.07-$9.09 in gold
So. .0S in silver; $3.50 in paper.
Belgium, Portland and Netherlands
have each a somewhat larger pei
capita circulation than the United
States.
The trouble with China, Mexico ia.
pan and Bulgaria is not in the silver
standard of its money; but in the fact
that they have not per capita circu-
lation sufficiently large. That is the
trouble with the United States, too
as compared with France. Why should
not the United States have as large a
per capita circulation as any Other
country in the world? Is France 60
ing to the dogs because it has a larger
per capita circulation than any othel
country in the world?
This is fact, that the immigration
into the United States from France
Belgium, Portugal and Netherlands
each of which has larger per capita
circulation of money than the United
States. is very limited.
We guess, in view of the aforesaid
facts, that the United States car
stand a large per capita circulation O.

even though it has to come though

of 16 to Wayne Co. Dem.

THE STANDARDS.
Hints Worth Remembering
about Money and Its
Effects.

16 TO coinage means there shall be
16 parts OF pure silver in a silver dol
lar to every one equivalent part of
gold in the gold dollar.
The constitutional dollar, if silver.
has S7i grains of pure silver in it; and
the gold dollar 1922 grains. This is
putting them on ratio of 16 to 1.
Parity means equal in value. So
coming on a ratio of 16 of one to one
of the other maintains the party, il
there is no dissemination shown. That
is, when so coined, silver dollar and
gold dollar will remain equal in pur-
chasing and debt paying powers.
Parity is the result of a naturallaw
coupled with an honest chance before
the national laws. That is to say a
long experiment of the ages has shown
that gold and silver, by the laws of
God are found to have been placed in
the earth in ratio of 16 to l. Some
times lucky find many for a few
years yield one or the other a little
more than that; but the experience of
$500 years has held them to this point.
The last 200 years has only shown a
differing from that ofa little less than
3 per cent, sometimes favoring gold
and then again silver.
To maintain parity, or an equality
of values between the two metals
when converted into money the law
of their being must be maintained;
that they must be coined into money
in the same ratio they exist the earth.
j. e. at a ratio of 16 to 1: This main
tains both the ratio and the parity
provided they are used without dis
examinations.
1t is therefore not difficult to see
there cannot be difference between
the value of a silver dollar and gold
dollar, unless that difference is made
by some act of legislation expressly
for that purpose.
! We originally had the double stand
ard money till 1878; since then gold
only has been standard money.
By that act, coinage was denied sill
yer, which was partly restored in
1878, but in that act silver was other
wise Disseminated against, and at
|
redemption money altogether. The
effect of this was to violate the very
law that maintained parity; that is
failing to coin both equal, and clothe
each with equal money functions, in
accordance with the natural law that
put the two in the earth in natural
ratio of 16 to 1, atthey have main
tanned with almost unerring certainty
for over 1000 years.
The law of 1878 left gold to be coin
ed as freely as it came out of the earth,
but denied this right to silver; thus
reducing silver toa commodity. That
same law destroyed silver as one of
the measure of values along side of
gold, which it had enjoyed since 1899,
making gold the only measure of
values; thus silver itself was reduced
to commodity as wheat, corn, pota-
toes and beef, and it's value measured
by gold, which now become the only
measure.

AN exchange says that an Illinois

characteristic terms: mo, kind, but
deluded friends, the mission of the
hireling who holds the plow handles
of this paper is to keep the fires burn
ing on the affairs of liberty and the
beacon lights blazing on the shore of

vance. He does not hunger or thirst

he would like to go to the legislature,
but he has grown in grace since then
and purged his system of that un-
holy desire. Since then he has not
yearned a single yearn nor hankered
a single hank after political distinc-

THE strict meaning of free silver"
is that given by the act of 1887 which
provides that the government mints
coin all silver bullion brought to them
for the benefit Of the depositor. That
actprovided for the weighing of the
bullion in the presence of the deposi-
tor, and for giving him certificate
for the net amount, payable in coins
of the same specie as the bullion de-
posted. The act Of 1878 took away
this right. The idea that some peo-
pie have, that the free coinage of sill
yer means that the government is to
buy silver bullion and pay cash for it
+! is a FOOLS idea and is only used for de-
ception. Bro. j. s. Fouke, Republi

HON. LARRY NEAL, in an interview
states his position as follows upon
the silver question:
"Oh, no! am not single stand
ard gold man. 1 have always taken
a middle course, and am friendly to
silver. My views are about like this:
II am opposed to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at ratio of
16 to 1, under existing conditions. l
am in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer upon such terms as will insure
equality in the purchasing and debt
paying power Of the silver and gold
dollar, but not otherwise. I do not
believe that the Government ought
to authorize the coinage of silver at
any ratio which will not make dol
lar in silver at all times equal in val
ue to and exchangeable for a dollar
in gold.
"My solution of the silver question
would be to retire all outstanding
legal tender notes and coin and subs
titute silver for them. The Govern
ment could, as l believe, maintain the
necessary parity between the silver
and gold dollar to this amount, and
by making the change, it would rid
itself Of the necessity for the 81 900, 900
gold reserve in the Treasury, and
avoid the repeated issue and sale of
interest bearings bonds to procure
the gold for reserve fund.
In making the proposed substitu-
tion l would give to the government
all seignorage arising from the coin
age of silver for the purpose

Law for the People.

Sec. 1858 of the Revised Statutes
has been amended in so far as to con-
fer jurisdiction upon the probate
court concurrent with the common
pleas in proceedings to change the
name Of person. Prior to the new
law the common pleas alone had jur-
isdiction. If you desire to have your
name changed go to your lawyer and
have him file a petition in either
court for that purpose, state therein
that you have been a bonatide resi-
dent of Henry county for the year
last past, the cause for which the
change of name is sought, and the
new name asked for. One publlca-
ton in a newspaper of the intended
application is also essential. If, up
on the hearing, the court is satisfied
of the truth of the facts and that
there is reasonable cause for the
change Of the name, the prayer of
the petitioner will be granted. The
probate judge is authorized to charge
the sum of three dollars for his SER
vices.
Sec. 4074 has been amended SO as
to include civil government IN ad-
dition to the many other branches
in which teachers are required d to pass
necessary examination. The old
law is still in force; the new takes eff
feet July 1, 1896. A teacher holding
certificate covering the branches
under the present law can legally
contract with a board of education
even though he be not posted upon
civil government and unable to pass
an examination in that branch.
Teachers should be Jealous, though,
in getting acquainted with the sub
ject, with the beautiful machinery of
the government, and the deep learn
ing that is contained in the branch.
A law which has been practically
unknown to the reading public is the
act giving preference of appointment
or employment to honorably dis
charged soldiers, sailors and marines,
who fought for the union in the war
of the rebellion. Such a law was
passed in 1883 and amended in the
following particular: The applicant
shall have been q resident of the
county in which the Office or position
is located for at least one year, and
also possess the other requisite quail
fications. The position must be in
some public department whether in
a municipal corpora ton or upon the
public works of the state of Ohio.
The new law has made violation of
the act a misdemeanor, and punish
able upon a convention by fine of
$50 and not more than $100.

THE captious voter will have no
trouble in finding consolation in the
speeches of Mckinley on the financial
question. Should he be single
standard gold advocate he can find
texts bearing strongly in that direc-
ton, and should he favor absolute
free coinage he can also extract much
comfort from them, but should he be
q firm believer in the use of both gold
and silver as money, he can find nu-
merous declarations to sustain that
view. He has voted for both free
coinage and bimetalism and has spok-
en- for the single gold standard.
