INTERESTING TO BurrsR Makers.

All butter makers will be interested in
reading what G. Il. Prime. proprietor of
the Neshobe creamery of Brandon, VT,
has to say in regard to the new Carrot
tine butter color
"CarOtine gives more uniform color
than have been able to get with the
liquid colors, and there is also a wider
range in its use. If | make a mistake
and get in too much there is no harm
done, the only noticeable difference
being little deeper yellow without the
least trace of reddish color that
reminds one of brick yard. | consider
Carrottine since you improved and
strengthened it the perfection of butter
colors.'

The Common PennIe.

At this crisis the claim is made that
Bryan resembles Lincoln in his faith in
THE common people," This is line of
comparison that Bryan's friends have
made mistake in suggesting. Lincoln
realized that in the long run the mass
of the people are honest in their incli-
nations and are not to be misled for any
great length of time. The common
people know an honest dollar from a
fraudulent dollar. They know the diff
ference between craftsmanship and
will-o'-the-wispism. They cannot be
permanently blinded by dazzling cpi-
grams of the picturesque attractions Of
youth and eloquence. Common sense is
the inalienable heritage of the common
people.--P. L. McConihee.

stipulation abodt the quality of the coin

OF business We're often bewildered by
the confusion into which all pecuniary
transactions were thrown. The simple
and the careless were pillaged without
mercy by extortioners, whose demands
grew even more rapidly than the money
shrank. The price of the necessaries
OF life, of shoes, of ale, of oatmeal. rose
fast.
THE laborer found that the bit of
metal which, when he received it, was
called shilling would hardly. when
he wanted to purchase pot of beer or
loaf of rye bread, go as far as six
pence. Where artisans of more than
usual intelligence were collected in
great numbers, as in the backwards at
Chatham. they were able to make their
complaints heard and to obtain some
redress. But the ignorant and helpless
peasant was cruelty ground between
one class which would give money only
by tale and another which would take
it only by weight" -Macaulay's His

Coinage WIN Injure.
Chief Justice r. II. Bigelow, Of the
supreme court of Nevada, had a letter in
a recent issue of the Reno (Nev) Ga
zettc which states some of the effects
of sixteen to one free coinage very clear
| ly Here is part Of his letter:
| 1t is not to be denied that the repub-
licans of this state are hard hit by the
action OF the st. Louis convention upon
the monetary question. The free coin
age of silver is believed to be so much to
the advantage of Nevada as a silver
producer, and we have for SO many
years heard nothing but free coinage
lat sixteen to one" arguments, that we
have almost come to the conclusion that
no one can think otherwise who is not a
scoundrel bought with British gold.
But there is another side to the question
that is believed in sincerely by millions
of as pure patriots as any who believe
in free coinage of silver. Any man who
says that this country can alone double
the value of all the silver of the world
and bring it and gold to par is either
ignorant of the lessons of the past or he
W1llfully shuts his eyes to them. Ii the
free silverites carry the election this fall
on their sixteen to one platform, it will
not only paralyze business--it will ut
terly destroy it. There will be scarcely

that will not go down before the storm.
It will send gold to almost 100 per cent.
premium, and, as measured with silver,
everything else will go up in value with
it, but as it will take twice as many
dollars as now to buy the same article
it will be of no earthly advantage to
anyone except the man who owes
debts that he has not promised to pay |
in gold. His silver dollars will pay such |
a debt just as during the war green
backs would pay one. although worth

Choose Your Metal.

Our free silver friends tell us that sill.
YER is just as good as gold. If so, what
harm results to anybody from allowing
the creditor of the bank or government
TO make his choice of metals? Why, at
any rate, object to paying debts in the
kind of metals borrowed? If silver
man prefers silver to gold. either gov
eminent or banker must pay it to him,
and for all debts, all taxes, all obliga-
tons due the nation, state, county or
municipality, silver is now full ten
der, and to all intents and purposes
primary money.-Medina (O) Gazette.
