Why Minnesota Is for Gold.

Minnesota democrats declared IN
equivocally for the gold standard.
They did so unexpectedly. The big
delegations from Minneapolis and Du-
luth were pledged for. sixteen to one,
and it was taken for granted the coun-
try delegations would favor free silver.
Why did they vote for gold?
Several reasons have been suggested.
The one most often met with is that the
farmers are composed largely of honest
and intelligent Scandinavians and Ger.
mans who cannot be caught with free
silver sophistry. AS over IS per cent.
of Minnesota's population is foreign
born, this answer may be partly true.
A more reasonable explanation, how
ever, is found in the reported state
ment that large portion of the farm
mortgages in Minnesota are made pay
able in gold coin of the United States
of the present standard of weight and
fineness." Being compelled to pay
their debts in gold, the farmers wish
to receive as good money when they sell
their products.
The fact that far larger portion OF
mortgages will contain the gold clause
next November than now may spoil
many votes for the sixteen to one
scheme.

WHICH SIDE ARE You oNq
Some Test Questions for Undecided yot-
ers to Consider.

ers to Consider.
Are YOU opposed to a sudden contrac-
ton in the volume of money now in
use? A free-coinage law would immedi-
ately drive out of circulation over $780,
100000 in gold.
DO you believe in stable measure OF
values which shall be fair TO both debtor
and creditor? The sixteen TO one
scheme would put this country on a
tluctuating silver basis.
Have you money in the bank or loaned
out to anyone? Free silver would cut
the value of your savings in two.
Are you prepared to abandon the
monetary standard which is used by all
the great commercial nations of the
world and adopt that of China, India
and other cheap labor countries? If not,
you should protest against free silver.
DO you believe that common honesty
demands that debts contracted in 100
cent dollars should be paid in money
worth as much as that which was bor-
rowed? Free coinage means the re-
pudiation of one-half of all obligations.
Do you know of any way in which
men who are now poor can get rich hon
estly, except by hard work? If not, you
should condemn the quacks who are
promising the people to make them all
rich by legislation which will debase
the currency.
Would you like to see capital album
dant and interest low? Money is far
more plentiful and interest rates are
lower in gold standard nations than in
the silver-using countries.
Do you consider it important to the
interests of trade and industry that
there should be no uncertainty in re-
gard to the basis of the country's finan-
ces? Then you must oppose the sense
less agitation which is checking the in
vestment of capital and depressing bust
ness.
Would you like to see the purchasing
power of the workingman's wages cut
down one-half by currency law which
should declare that so cents worth of
silver was "dollar?" Under free coin
age this country would have silver
monometallism, with double prices for
everything the workers buy.
Are you willing to bring on finan-
cial panic, caused by the calling in of
loans through fears of free-silver repu-
diation, merely for the sake of trying
cheap money experiments which have
always resulted in disaster? If not, and
if you want an honest dollar and pros
perity, you should work and vote
against all attempts to debase the cur
rency.-Whidden Graham.

They have had q sorry experience with
the piano contest business in Matawan.
A New York newspaper offered $1,000
piano for the most popular school in Jer-
sey. The contest lasted fully five months.
At the finish the Matawan school was
Al, 761 votes ahead OF the Junction school,
and the newspaper, smitten with pity for
the vanquished, gave piano as a second
prize to the Junction school. Now il
comes out that il cost Matawan $1441. "a
to win the piano, and Junction contrib
uted $1191.07. What hundreds OF others
contributed is not known. While the
fight was on Matawan had no time for
anything else except concerts and other
money making schemes to help buy
papers. School children thought OF
nothing else. There was satisfaction In
winning, however, but now that 1t is all
over and sober reflection is uppermost,
Matawan is through. The Matawan Jostr.
nal sumo up the result like this snow
the struggle Is over, il Is not out OF the
way TO say right here that our people are
not likely to engage very soon 10 con-
test OF any kind, for the recollection OF
what we had to contend against 10 this
one Is still fresh and will not be soon for

In commemoration of the birthday Of
Mrs. Z. Reading of Frenchtown, who
passed the anniversary at the home of her
only daughter, Mrs. VIM. G. Gebhardt, in
Clinton, there came TO greet her on Tues.
day OF last week a ''goodly company" in
deed, for il included her brother, George
A. Evans of Pennington, and five of her
six sons-ex-Assemblyman Charles N.
Reading and James N Reading of
Frenchtown (merchanls); John G. Read
ing, Esq, a prominent lawyer of Will
Transport, Pa, and counsel of the Phila.
q Reading r. R.; DR.. George e Read
ing, the leading physician and for some
time the City Collector OF Woodbury.,
N. j., and Philip c. Reading, also of
Woodbury. who is prominent business
man of Philadelphia, being President of
the Wilson Rogers Corporation-no one
bachelor nor widower among them, and
all accompanied by their families. Count
ing the children, who were Jolly crowd
in themselves, the guests numbered
twenty eight, we learn ; aud that these,
added to Mr.. Gebhardl's,happy household,
made up one of the pleasantest Of parties,
'goes without saying even TO those who
do not know either of the genial gentle
men or the ladies who made il up.
As this was the first so complete reunion
of this large family in many years-per.
haps the first since the death of the
honored father philip G. Reading), it is
highly appreciated in Clinton THAT they
have come together here from the widely
varied fields of activity in which each has
won both business success and the honor
able regard OF large communities. Mrs.
Gebhardt has become one of the most
valued in local social circles during the
ten years since she came as bride here,
and she will share in the cordial congratu-
lations which all our people extend to
Mrs. Reading Ia the rare honor that such
an occasion does her and the hope that
she may live TO enjoy more of them, ex-
ceptional as they are.
The only one of Mrs. Gebhardt's broth
ers who could not be here on Tuesday
was Joseph r., now a prominent citizen
Of Woodstown, Salem county, who was
IN efficient missionary in Africa until his
eyes were seriously diseased there, and
whose work, "The Ogowee Band" has
yiven him wide celebrity as an author.

Last summer the Pennsylvania road
made its initial experiment in the use OF
electricity on an established steam line
from Burlington TO Mount Holly. "Wlth-
in month after the equipment was COM
pleted," declares Mr.. Rufus Hill, master
mechanic of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
''the time schedule was made OF the rate
OF over sixty miles an hour, with frequent
trains. The service has been found to
be far superior 10 anything known in
steam railway practice, and the economy
In operation has been more than we ex-
pected. An electric locomotive has been
applied not merely to the haulage OF
trains, but TO all the switching service
in the yards and ths various kinds Of
service OF that nature" In the current
Iron Age, Mr.. Hill predicts that electric
motive power will be used over the
greater part of the Pennsylvania system
within five years. This is the most en-
thusiastic prophecy yet made to the
world, but, Issuing from such an expert
source, must commend attention.

The arc light was curiosity in the
T0's, the incandescent light novelty In
the SOS, but 1t is left for tho '00's to de-
velop more startling electrical phenomena
in the X rays, so that the electrical exhibi.
ton in New York, amlzing as are the
mechanical wonders which the use of
electricity has given birth to, may take
the X rays as sign of the electrical ad
vance of to-day. What the novelty will
be In the next decade 1t was impossible TO
forsee, since civilization has not yet
grown up to the full uses OF the marvellous
application OF cleo trical energy now at its
command. Light without heat seems to
be In sight, long business transmission Of
electrical power is dawning, and IL all
goes well there will be for us when the
electrical age eliminates new heaven
and new earth Of our own making.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. II you are
tired, weak and nervous, 1t is clear that
your blood is impure, and without doubt
there has been too much over.work or
strain on brain and body. The course OF
treatment for such condition is plain
and simple. The blood must first be pur-
ihed so that the nervous system, and in
fact all the organs will be fed upon pure
blood. Intelligent people without num-
Der have testified that the best blood pur-
ifier, nerve tonic and strength impatting
medicine is Hoods Sarsaparila. Ner.
vousness, loss OF sleep and general debil-
ity all vanish when Hoods Sarsaparilla is
persistently taken in word, health and
happiness follow after taking Hoods Sar-
saparila.

When a man owns blooded horse he
is always careful Of its health. He looks
after its diet and is particular that the
feeding shall be regular and right. While
he is doing this it is likely as not that he
is himself suffering from some disease or
disorder. When the trouble gets so bad
that he cannot work, he will begin to give
himself the care he gave the horse al the
start. Good pure, rich red blood is the
best insurance against disease of any
kind. Almost all diseases come from i'm
pure or impoverished blood. Keep the
blood pure and strong and disease can
find no footbold. That is the principle
upon which DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
