White Llvered Republicans.

Not satisfied with the financial plank In
the platform. Ell? What's the trouble with
1t? Did you ever hear of a nation large or
small that had better currency than we
have now? No, never did.
Exactly. Good, but not enough of it..
Yes, and so you deluded republicans who
have wandered off into by and forbidden
paths propose to depreciate the currency
make more of 1t, II 1t isn't quite so good.
For the love of lucre! How are you going
to get it, oh! ye disgruntied republicans,
when it is made plenty on your plan, unless
you have something to exchange for It?
Want to cut the dollars In two and go back
to the beggarly elements of shinplaster cur
rency with gold at So 40? Remember those
high old times about thirty years ago? Great
times! Money was useless except to pay
debts. Oh! that's what you want of it?
Why didn't you say SO!
You want to pay good honest gold debt
with cheap money. had that drop come
on me some thirty years ago when my gold
paper was paid in currency at more than a
hundred per cent discount. That's what
you want again, is it? Well, 1t is bastard
ly way of doing business at least. 1t is just
like borrowing large sized roadster and re-
turning in its stead a pony-a miserable,
measly, mean pony, too-and compelling
the other party to take it in lieu of good
horse.
The laborer doesn't want deprecated
money, for he wants 1t to buy as much as
it does now-mOre than 1t ever would be-
fOre-but you lessen its value and every.
thing that he has to buy jumps right along
ahead OF 1t. But you want more money
even if 1t isn't so good. Well, excuse me-
I'd rather have sound dime than spuri-
GUS quarter any day, and harke!e there'll be
lot of silver poisoned republicans wander
ing around in headless condition after
election, having been led to believe lie
that they may be politically damned. Yes,
the old party is good enough.
p. S.-Some one has inquired as to my
price for services, and to all such can say
in truth that since began practice almost
forty years ago, they have never varied an
iota. My charges have been the same,
whether wheat was So or so cents bushel.
They were low enough at the start for an
educated and responsible service coupled
with continuous study, low enough, and
have been able to hold them down With re-
markabIe persistency and equanimity, but
have been beat out of thousands of dollars
and done thousands of dollars worth of BUSH
ness gratis and did it cheerfully. In regard
to the treatment of fractures, If the surgeon
is financially irresponsible he can treat such
things for dollar and half dozen, but
if he sees malpractice suit as possible
terminus and is responsible, he will hesitate
about risking suit and cost for mere
bagatelle in the way of fee. WARD.

He is an able, clean gentleman whose lot

A Little Currency Catechism.

Q. What is the whole body of currency
of the United States today?
A. Paper, $475, 900, 600; silver, $780,
OOO,o gold, $612, 200.
Q. What is the existing money stand
ard of the country?
A. Gold, by means of which all the
silver and all the paper are worth 100 cents
to the dollar.
@. What would be the effect If we
should abandon the existing gold standard?
A. All the gold would leave the country
in accordance with the never questioned
law that superior money will not remain
In country where an inferior money is the
standard. Silverites admit that gold is 16
times more valuable than silver. That is
what the ratio of 16 to 1" means In truth
to day, gold is 80 times more valuable than
silver.
Q. What amount of money would be
thus withdrawn from the country if the
silver standard should be substituted for the
gold standard?
lars, contracting the currency to that
amount, and Gripping the country accord
ingly.
q. If the silver standard were substi-
tuted for the existing gold standard, what
would be the effect on the $780,, 200, 900 of
silver now worth 100 cents to the dollar?
A. The entire quantity of silver dollars
would be worth their weight In silver per
ounce, which varies from week to week
like the price of wheat, and the immediate
effect would be to reduce the 500, 600, 900
to 1905, 1000, 900, the present value of silver
per ounce In the coins, thus contracting the
currency Of the country to this additional
amount, making total contraction of S917,-
100000
q. What would be the effect on the
paper In our currency If we should substi-
tute the silver standard for the existing
gold standard?
A. The S475, 900, 900 of paper, today
worth 100 cents to the dollar on the existing
gold standard, would at once decline to so
cents in the dollar on the silver standard.
based on the price of silver today, the i'm
mediate effect being to reduce the value of
the paper now in the currency to $780,
50O,OO
Q. BY abandoning the existing gold
standard for the silver standard, what then
would be the first net result?
A. The loss to the country of Si,154,-
100000, every dollar worth 100 cents by
reason of the existing gold standard.
Q. What do you deduct from this?
A. That we need all the money we have
and that we want every dollar to be worth
100 cents.
Q. How can we keep all the money we
have and keep every dollar worth 100 centsp
A. BY preserving the existing gold
standard.

One Wrong Impression.

From the Cadillac News and Express
The national republican platform adopted
at st. Louis last week frankly declares the
opposition of the republican party to the
proposed free coinage of silver and en-
| phatically affirms its favor for the retention
Of the present monetary standard and cur
| rency system of our country. We believe
the position taken by our party on this ques-
| ton to be wise and patriotic and thoroughly
in accord with the demands of safety
and security for all the present and pros
pective interests at stake, and the only posi-
ton the party could have taken whereby
the return of prosperity enjoyed when the
republican party was last in power could
be assured to our people.
We are aware of the fact that many of
our readers and some members of our party
view this question from an almost opposite
point of view and it is our desire and pur-
pose to fairly discuss all phases of the issue
during the coming campaign in the hope
that many wrong impressions may be re-
moved and many honest questions answered.
Some of these impressions and questions are
as follows:
81 am in favor of the free coinage of
silver" insists one friend of the writer, she
cause believe there is need of more money
and think this need will be met through
the free and unlimited coinage of siver."
This is dangerously false assumption.
Instead of "adding considerably to the
amount in circulation" the free coinage of
silver would cause the greatest and most
disastrous contraction of our currency ever
known. 1t wonld drive out of circulation
in obedience to law which has operated
with like effect in every free silver country
in the world, all the gold coin and gold GER
tificates, which amount to over 5000, OOO.-
600. 1t would likewise drive out of circu-
lati0n or reduce one-half in value the $685.
100000 in greenbacks and the 1914, 900. 900
of national bank notes.
There Is much more money in circulation
today than in 1878, the period so often re-
ferred to by the friends of free silver as the
Noeo hiOhh WhiSh ehO uooumOu CODlIdCUlOn OF
the currency began. At that time the
amount Of money in circulation for every
inhabitant of the United States was SIS.
AT the present time the amount in crcula.
ton for each iDhabitant of our country Is
$23. There is surplus reserve of over
$40, 900, 900 In the New York banks. And
in all the money centres there are large
sums of money lying idle or let out on short
loans at very low interest rates. II Is the
fear OF loss and business generalization
through the threatened adoption of free
silver which is keeping these idle million
from being utilized in the active industrial
life of our nation.
There is not free silver country in the
world today that is not on silver basis,
There is not gold standard country in the
world today that does not use silver as
money along with gold. There is not
silver standard country in the world today
that uses gold as money along with silver.
There Is not silver standard country in
the world today that has more than one
third as much money In circulation per
capita as the United States have.

district send Mr.. Osborn he would make a
record such as has not been made by a
Michigan man in years. AS an executive
he has few IL any equals in the state, as an
entertainer he takes high rank, and as a
politician he has shown those qualities In
the few canvasses he has made, which have
made men the leaders of parties and the adj

endorsed by several counties and there is
undoubted enthusiasm for him in the entire
district. We hope he will win and to the
district will come the benefit.

emblazoned on our banner this year, 1896,

American people. AS Lincoln used to say,
There is no safer tribunal in the world than
the American people, and to that tribunal
we confidently submit our aims and pur-
poses this year."

FENCING THE NEW FAD.
Young Mems Christian Associate

Young Mems Christian Association
Adopt a Healthful Sport.
One of the latest and most popular
fads of the day, overshadowing even
the almost universal playing on the
mandolin and threatening to leave even
lawn tennis completely in the shade is
the revival of the honorable and chiv-
alric art of fencing. Sage an authority
on the subject: 1.-THE craze is spreading
with remarkable rapidity. Carte and
fierce will soon be as familiar In men s
mouths as household words and the
deft handling of a foil will be part of a
liberal education.
The practice of fencing is admirably
adapted to form the figure, give grace
to the movements and skill to the sin
eWs of the rising generation and should
be encouraged by all well wishers Of
the development of the race. 1t makes
the waist supple, the limbs elastic and
the wrist firm. 1t gives accuracy to
the eye and decision to the character,
for in fencing no advantage must be
lost The attention must always be on
the alert, and the power of attack and
recovery must be practiced to perfec-
ton. A good fencer is always grace
full, and has his physical qualities al
ways at his command. Therefore it is
of the greatest advantage to society
that it should be- taken up and made
an adjunct to the other bodily exercises
that improve the health, the carriage
and the manners"
The Young Mems Christian associa-
tions are rapidly adopting the art of
fencing and it Is becoming valuable
acquisition to the gymnasium curricu-
lum. The associations at Boston, Pitts
field and Stamford have just formed
classes.
The gymnasium members of the local
association held an enthusiastic meet
ing last week and decided to form a
class Fourteen signified their inten-
ton to take a course of systematic les
sons.
Mr.. Louis Leyerzapf, the well known
amateur, has been engaged as instruc-
tor. The name of the instructor is an
assurance that the class will not be a
failure, as he has acquired an excel
lent reputation as a fencing master
during his connection with the Boys
brigade.
Last evening the first lesson was en-
Enthusiastically received and many are
contemplating joining the class. The
class will meet on Tuesday evenings
from $50 until $50 p. m. 1t is an ex-
cellent plan for the business and pro-
fessional men of this city to avail
themselves Of this opportunity for
healthful exercise. New members will
be received for a short time only.
