effect that the finest kind of election wealth

that a very heavy vote came out in the

In this city the principal interest centers
in the intense fight for sheriff between the
rival republican factions. The administra-
ton candidate is Samuel H. Ashbridge and
the anti-administration faction Is repre-
scented by Alexander Crow. jr. The latter
is supported by the democrats. Crow is
developing unexpected strength in wards

DEBTS DOUBLED AND VALUES REDUCED.

The people OF this country are pay
ing taxes, debts, interest and buying
goods at figure fixed before the cur
rency was put upon the gold standard.
This expense must be met by selling
products in the worlds markets in
competition with products from double
standard countries, which, sold at the
same price, bring double the amount
of like products from this country.
This anomalous condition is due to the
depreciation of silver owing to its de-
monetization by the greater nations of
the earth, which, while worth but one
half its former price in the worlds
market, is as valuable as ever in the
double standard and silver using coun-
tries. This condition makes it possible
for the products of double standard
or silver using country to sell under a
gold standard in competition with the
products of the world while paying the
producer double that realized by the
producer of the gold standard country.
The act demonetizing silver passed by
congress in 1873, and making gold the
sole money of ultimate redemption,
doubled debts and taxes, and decreased
all values except fixed incomes one
half, This injustice is the cause of
the hard times and panics that has so
nearly bankrupted the country, and
while for many years efforts have been
made to undue the wrong the power
that accomplished it has been so far
successful in controlling legislation as
to defeat every attempt.

Newman Smythe of Center church
furnishes important news with refer
ence to the Armenian massacre, as
follows: "Letters have been shown
me from persons engaged in relief
work among the AFmenians which give
the following carefully prepared statis-
tics concerning the recent massacres
by the Turks under the tolerance of
Christian powers in the year of our
Lord, 1885, These statistics are
given in detail for the several villages
in Kharput province. I give here with
the summaries as follows: Killed, 30
COL; burned to death, ABS; preachers
and priests killed, 81; died from star
walton, 2 ,46l; died unprotected in the
fields, 1910; died from fear, $50; wound
ed, $1,000; houses burned, 28,562; for
chile conversions, 1906; women and
girls abducted, 1916; fOrcible marriages,
1,551; churches destroyed, 227; destitute
and starving, "a, $50. The account does
not state the number of English and
American cannon with the cObwebs
left over the mouths. Other letters
say that further massacres are feared
in Karphut. The Turks say that they
killed too few the last massacre, and
will kill more the next time. The
Turkish government, having learned
that our missionaries were giving four
Or five cents a day to the destitute, il
some instances have taken this money
by force of taxes, and from this cause,
the letter adds, many are still starving
and dying"
