According to the best authorities on
curiosities Of the navy and warfare in
general, the first armored vessel was
launched in the year 1880. 1t was one
of the fleet manned by the Knights of
ST. John and was entirely covered with
sheets of lead. The accounts Of the times
leave us in darkness as to the thickness
of this lead armor, but they are very
positive in the statement that they were
of sufficient strength to successfully
resist all the shots of that day" At the
siege Of Gibraltar in 1882 the French
and Spaniards used war vessels which
were armored with light iron boom
proofng over their decks and to the
waters edge" The very first practical
use Of wrought iron plates as defense
for the sides of vessels was by the
French in the Crimean war in 1863

TROUBLE.

! It is time enough to bid trouble
''good morning. when it walks in the
door. There is no condition Of af-
fairs but it might be worse. Who can
be seriously oppressed when there is
an open door somewhere, where q
smiling wife and rosy checked chill
dren wait to greet the weary bread
winner? If your load is heavy, is
there not some poor fellow near by
who has a heavier burden? If the
clouds are black above you, a kind
action to neighbor will often make
them float away from the face of the
blessed sun.
The world is given to grumbling.
Envy and discomfort are guests un-
hidden to many man, who is in sor-
row because of their presence. And
often he now thinks of the only sure
remedy for the cure of his sorrows.
Drive them out and the day of trouble
will pass. Help the thing that you
can help, and put aside the foolish
grief for the things you cannot help.
Look at the bright side Of life. Keep
your heart open for the joys and close
and seal it to dismal woes. Think it
over calmly and you will discover
that there is more sunshine than
cloud, more light than darkness in the
world. Keep trouble away and listen
for the strains of happiness and con-
tent that are on every breeze.
Don't encourage trouble. Don't
meet it half way. Don't grieve today
for what you are afraid may come to-
morrow Don't wear yourself out
with useless sorrow. If it 10 dark,
stand, bravely facing the east, that
you may see the first glorious streak
of the dawn. Keep place ready for
the children of laughter, but have no
room for the troublesome daughters
If despair.
IF you will consider, you will see
that worry and annoy, but out of
these petty troubles. great griefs are
born. Sweep away the little things;
be great enough to despise the un-
comfortable trifes and give the cold
shoulder to trouble.

The Paramount Issue.

The Weekly has from the first insisted
that the money issue is paramount in
this campaign, and it will therefore
support the candidate of the Republican
party. It believes that the welfare and
the honor Of the country are involved,
and that the protection and maintenance
of both are largely dependent on the
election Of Mr.. Mckinley, because his
party has promised the country that it
will preserve the existing money stand
ard and will defend it from the assaults
of the selfish, the dishonest and the ig-
norant persons who controlled the DEM
ocratic convention at Chicago. And
since the issue has to be met, we are
glad that it is SO clearly defined and
that the Democratic party has stated
the position Of the friends of silver
IN its most extravaganza, dishonest and
revolving form. -Harper's Weekly.

I was passing a house out on the road

beside the driveway. He was mounted
on bicycle, and as he rode he pushed
the lawn mower along beside him. Of

The Democrats of 1892 insisted that
all our dollars must have the same
power in making purchases and in pay
ing debts. The new Popu1istic-Demo-

a gold dollar in paying debts, but only
half as far in buying goods They are

A BIT OF HIST DRY.

| Review Of the Country Since the Free
Coinage eff Silver Was Stopped.
The free coinage Of silver stopped in
1878. but protective tariffs were steadily
maintained and made higher from time
70 time for 20 years from that date and
rnfil Mr.. Cleveland and his party came
power with q mandate to lower
to the revenue only" level.
", what is the record of those 90
from 1878 to 1898, with silver
e--lage suspended all the time, but with
q protective tariff policy steadfastly
maintained? In those 20 years we re-
duced the national debt 81, $50, 900, 600
and the annual interest charge over $91.
900, 600. From 1870 to 1890 we in
creased our national wealth from $780,.
900, 900, 900 to $50, 900, 600, 900. In adj
dition to paying the national debt and
adding SO vastly TO our wealth, individ-
uals had deposited over SO, 900, 900, 900
in savings banks and building and loan
associations, acquired during this period.
The amount paid in wages to the 8, $780,
600 employees i'll our manufactures in
1890 was 50, 225, 900, 900, and the value
Of the product aggregated SO, 372, 0OO,-
900, exceeding by 1875 per cent that Of
any other country in the world. In the
like time the manufacture of pig iron
increased 900 per cent, railroad mileage
over $50 per cent, the passenger traffic
800 per cent and the number Of freight
tons moved nearly 400 per cent So
that, writing in May, 1M)2, when Mr..
Harrison was president and the McKin-
ley tariff was in full operation, though
free coinage had been denied to silver
for nearly 20 years, Hon. Carroll D.
Wright. the eminent statistician, who
IS not partisan pleader on either side,
gave tbs testimony to the then existing
condition of the country:
s'There has never been a period in
this or any other country when the gen
eral rate of wages was SO high as it is
now or the price of goods relatively to
the wages as low as they are today, nor
period when the workman, in the
strict sense Of the word, has SO fully Sc
cured to his own use and enjoyment
such a steadily and progressively in
creasing proportion of a constantly in
creasing product.
That was the general condition Of our
people in May, 1892. Within a month
of the election of Mr.. Cleveland, pledged
to the overthrow Of protection, and be-
fore it was known or even suspected
that he proposed to contract the currency
and to enter upon the aggressive policy
in favor Of gold recommendation which
he subsequently, developed, this general
condition Of the country described by
Mr.. Wright had begun to disappear. It /
was not what Mr.. Cleveland was going
to do about silver, for that was then in I
doubt, but what he meant to do about
the tariff, which was in no doubt at all, +
that started all forms of industrial and F
commercial business on the down grade

We are all more or less familiar

simple common sense of the world is

life.
Mr.. B. was young man of this
class. He was always painfully pro-

wished done He had parrot, of
