Marcus A. Hanna.

Serene in the midst of the confidence
that all is we'll, Mr. Hanna in his smil-
ing, clean-shaven, and clear-eyed COM
posure, more apprehensive of an over
drawn sense of security than of alarms
vibrates between the city of commerce
and the city of conventions, collected
and yigilant as the engineer who man
ages the engines of twin-screw
steamer, confident that il there is no
relaxation in well-doing no tempest
can come out of the skies south or east
or west to stay the course of the ship
safely to the port that the chart and
compass tell is right ahead. Mr.. Hanna
is the new man in politics, the man of
affairs of his own, finding time for un-
official business This is not of evil /:
there is not better sign of better
things The element of which Mr..
Hanna is type is needed to stand
firmly for the balances of power with
which the fathers conserved the Repub b.
lic-and this representation of the an
cient civic and national pride in our
government under the Constitution as
it is, has not come to us without cause,
or appeared too soon /; and when the
contest is over and won, Mr. Hanna
will deserve we'll of his country that
he is serving for the sake of principle
with motives and for considerations,
that contemplate only his fair share,
as laborious and faithful citizen OF
the general welfare. .-Murat Halstead,

Constipation and Sick Headache, and

The difference between the goldbug
and the silverite in contemplating the
certain upheaval is that while the for
mer claims it to be unnecessary and
uncompensated disaster, the silver lead
ers insist that panic would only be a
necessary evil, that it would "serve the
goldbugs right" and that the good to
the country to come from the adoption
of the silver standard would be so great
as to make up for tine wreck of our
present commercial and financial struc-
ture and the consequent long paralysis
of trade. The present depression of
values, cancellation of orders, and ur-
seasonal BILE stagnation of business leave,
unhappily, no room for doubt as to the
accuracy of the general forecast of the
result of silver success in November
So the question arises, Are you will
ing, silver dry goods merchants, to
wind up the business circus we have
been having since 1893 with a great,
big panic that would be no respecter of
persons, but would squeeze goldbugs
and silverites impartially ?" vote
for Bryan is vote for panic. Who
among you is willing to cast such a
vote DRY Goods Economist.

the MOST LUXURIOUS clrY.
Fabulous Amounts Spent Yearly by New
Yorkers.

Fabulous Amounts Spent Yearly by New
Workers.
John Gilmer Speed writes of the
money spent annually in THE Most
Luxurious City in the World" in the
October Ladies' Home Journal. He
asserts in PREDATORY way that New
York is the most luxurious city in the
world and that expenditures are made
on mere living with an elegance and
ostentation unknown in any of the
capitals of Europe. The total wealth
of New York would, il equally divided,
give to each man, woman and child of
that city SO, 756. .s2-an amount greater
than any other city in the world. MIR.
Speed states that $50, 400 600 are paid
annually to the lawyers of New York;
s11, S2s, 900 to physicians and surgeons;
50, 900, 900 to the clergymen; s2,e65, 600
to architects; s1,600,00O to dentists;
s13, O2O, 900 to brokers. An aggregate
of about $40, 900, 900 for furs, $50, 600, 900
for diamonds and other jewels, $780,
600 for cut flowers and growing plants;
s2O, 900, 900 on yachting (the boats rep
resenting an investment of $50, 900, 000),
which is something more than is spent
yearly on horses and carriages The
elevated railroads take in s12, 900
for carfare, and the surface lines s15,
900. 900, a total of $4,000, 900 for going
about New York. Mr.. Speed estimates
that sS1, ,s37, 500 are spent by New York
ers each year in European travel, So
5S7, 500 of which go for steamship tick
cts New Workers spend $50, 600, 900
for beer and 800, 600, 900 for wine and
spirits-about sivty-six and two-third
dollars for each person per year. In
their gifts to charities New Workers
are most liberal, $4,000, 600 being the
annual sum thus expended. More
money is spent in supporting and
furthering church work in New York
than is paid all theatres and play
houses of the city. The total spent for
amusements is 1900, 900, while consid-
erably more than $4,000, 600 is con-
tributed to the support of churches.

'How will Mr.. Bryan get the gold
back from the money power Eyi-
IDENTIFY he must offer an inducement.
What inducement To be sure, the
mints will be open to gold as well as
silver But who will offer gold bullion
to have it coined into dollars when he
can have silver dollars with the same
legal-tender power at half Price? Only
an idiot would do that."-Carl Schurz

Effect of Free silver on Railway EN-
ployees.

Effect of Free silver on Railway EN-
ployees.
The third largest class of working
men is that of employees on steam
railways. There are nearly half a
million of these. There is not the re-
motest possibility of an increase in
their wages under silver standard,
but there is strong probability OF
either reduction or a total loss, for
the railways would be the severest
sufferers, next to the workingmen,
from a descent to silver. Railway
fares and rates could not be dou bled.
The receipts of the companies would
be cut in half, while at the same time
the interest on their bonded debt
would have to be paid in gold. Every
railway in the country would have its
profits wiped ont at stroke by the
change, and many of them would be
driven into confusion and bankruptcy.
This has been the fate of Mexican rail-
ways under like conditions, and would
be ineyitable here. Nothing could pre-
vent it except doubling of all charges,
and this would simply put the burden
back upon the people, and still further
raise the prices of commodities. In
any event, the railways would be seri-
ously crippled, and would be in no
condition to pay higher wages The
Century for October.

DOMINION SILVER DISCOUNTED.

National Banks of Sanduslsy Retaliate on

SANDUsKY, O., Sept 2S.-The four
National banks of this city have posted
notice to the effect that they will
hereafter accept Canadian silver only
at discount of twenty per cent. An
extensive trade is carried on between
Canada and this city. The action of
the local bankers is in retaliation for
the position assumed by bankers across
the lake, who have refused to accept
American silver except at discount.

THE outrageous practice of distribut-
ing for advertising purposes samples
of pills and other patent nostrums on
the lawns and yerandas of private resi-
dences is receiving deserved discourage
ment in many cities. The Columbus
State Journal has the following:
Some time since The State Journal
contained an account of the poisoning
of child on the West Side. from swal-
lowing samples of pills that were dis
tributed as an advertisement The
child who swallowed the pills was Will
liam c. Hoff, the infant son of Fred
Hoff of 603 West Town street. Yester-
day suits were filed in Justice Gamer
on's court by both the parent and the
child for $500 damages in each case.
Charles #. Lentz is made the defendant
in the cases as it alleges that he is the
person that was responsible for the
distribution of the samples.
