TERRIBLE FATE
Of a Dealer In NitrOGIycerine-BIown to
Atoms by an Explosion.

Atoms by an Explosion.
MoUNDsvILLE, w. Va, Nov. -
Louis Conn, a nitroglycerine agent in
the employ of II. i. Luntz, of New
Cumberland, was the victim of terri.
BILE fate yesterday afternoon, being
blown to atoms by an explosion of the
stuff he was selling.
About four o'clock Conn drove to the
outskirts OF town to get gallon of nj
tro he had buried there. He used pick
to dig it from the ground, and it is
supposed the instrument came in con-
tact with the can. The explosion was
heard all over the town, and caused
great excitement. Ccnn's remains
We're scattered for 100 yards around,
and one foot was the largest piece
found. In the buggy Conn had occu.
pied were four gallons of nitro and at
the report of the explosion the horses
ran away, but, strange to say, the
iolting did not explode it.

Horrid Superstition.

We all know horrid custom of the
past, which was that of human sacri-
flee in conjunction with the erection
of building or the construction of a
bridge. 1t was supposed that no such
superstition was discovered among the
Dravido-Tibetan races. A CORES pond
emit writes to Nature that this belief
doesexist. There was n Ridiculous story
rife in Bengal, not so long ago, that
the queen of England, for somc pur-
pose unknown, wanted the heals of
i've children from each village All
the villagers hid aud were prepared to
fight for their children. 1t took months
before the people could be made to be-
lieve how utterly absurd was the
story. After awhile it was found out
that the report of children hav:ng
been wanted arose from the fact that
Il foundation was to be built for
great railroad bridge. 1t was dis
covered that among the people living
in the past it had been the custom to
sacrifice victim when anything of
Importance in the way OF 4 building
was undertaken. Then the stories of
former ages, when these acts we;e
carried on, had not passed away anG
they remain in folklore. At least the
dread of the Bengali coolies was based
on tradition.-N. Y. Times

Silver, Labor, Cotton,
Wheat.

1t is barely possible that the work
ingman will remember that the best
days OF the workingman in this coun-
try have been when the farmers were
prosperous and farm products high,
and when wheat was worth S1.32I
per bushel. Ii will accur to him also
that at the same time silver was worth
1921 per ounce.
The two great staples of our coun-
try, cotton and wheat, are measured
by silver. An ounce of silver will
buy nine and one-half pounds OF cot
ton or bushel of wheat in the mar
ket of New York.
We are exporting over 1000, 1000
ounces of silver per week. England
takes our silver at 66 cents an ounce,
and exchanges it with India for a
bushel of wheat or nine and one-half
pounds of cotton, irrespective of the
value of silver, measured by gold.
That the free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of Is to will make silver worth
1929 an ounce the world over is
hardly disputable. If silver is worth
81 80 an ounce wheat will then he
worth sl.29 per bushel and cotton
49, cents per pound in New York,
If the farmer is prosperous we all
prosper, not only the laborer, but the
butcher, the baker in brief, every
tradesman shares in the prosperity.
BY the reconciliation of silver. gold
will be made to share the burdens OF
silver. Gold shorn OF some of its
power will necessarily fall in price or
power of purchasing. Commodities
of all kinds will advance in price,
measured by gold and silver.

Very Inconsistent.

In another article in this issue we
remarked that the Gold Bug press is
very amusing.
Their hearts are fairly bleeding for
fear wage workers will be paid in
fifty-three cent dollars, in the event of
the restoration of the free coinage OF
silver.
They are also opposed TO the owners
Of silver mines taking tiity-three cents
worth Of silver to the mints and having
il coined into dollars, thus making
.tofy-Sere, cents.
Now is IT not apparent that these
Gold Bug papers are very inconsistent
II the silver dollar is to be worth
only fifty-three cents, how can the
silver miner make a profit of forty
seven cents by taking fitty-three cents
worth of silver To the mints and have
a dollar made out Of it.
If the silver mine owner is TO make
forty seven cents, how is the dollar to
depreciate to ftty-three cents.
Is it not apparent that the Gold
Bug press is lying?
Can anybody he fooled by such
arguments they advance?

FARM JOURNAL
ENDORSES BRYAN.
A Paper with a Million
Farmer Readers Be-
lieves Bryan
THE FARMERS FRIEND.
The Journal Says the
Farmers are Think
ing Hard.
THE FARMERS FRIEND.

The Farm Journal, one of the best
agricultural papers published, agrees
with Bryan, though it is non politi-
cal paper.
1t says: The farmers must have
better prices or the traces will break. :"
That is what Bryan says.
1t goes on: The depreciation in
lands is terrific One point lost sight
of is that in some places the raiue Of
the iand Is gone entirely and all that
remains OF value are the Improvements
thereon. In other words these farms
will not sell for more than the build
ings. fences and fruit trees cost.
"Will any thoughtful and candid
person deny the gravity of the above
situation. How long can this deplor-
able condition of things continue We
do not believe that the farmer is at
fault.
"a fair price will surely enhance
farm value, a continued fall will bring
wholesale ruin.
In '113 the value of our wheat
crop was 1923 ,59l. .S05, grown on %
900, 900 acres. In 80 it was worth
only s237 ,93S,99S grown on $1,000
600 acres, and our population had
grown 30,000,00O. The entire crop
Of 80 would not pay the debt we owe
abroad and leave enough wheat here
to make Loaf of bread.
at would take every bushel OF oats
grown in the United States in '95 to
buy back the government bonds sold
during the last two years. Is il any
wonder that the farmer has lost his
lands and that hope has fled?
How long can we keep it up? He
has bravely and patiently kept it up
50 far until the value Of the very soil
beneath his feet has slipped away, and
prices are still falling. There must
be some other solution OF this question
than continuance OF the present
prices of farm products.
"And it must never be forgotten
that none can prosper unless the farm
er does. Ii has been well said that il
is impossible to measure or even
estimate the Importance of agriculture
to Il people. Ii is the foundation upon
which civilization and society rest !;
the basis and source of the permanent
wealth of the nation. Ii is the most
ancient and universal OF all arts; par
ent of manufacturers and commerce !;
the basis of all other industries. with
out which all else must decay and
perish"
The Journal voices the hopes and
fears of all our farmers. To attempt
to base all our national prosperity on
few factories. as Mckinley wants to
do, at the expense Of our farming in
terests is to attempt 10 balance the
pyramid on its apex.
The farmers are thinking hard.

CONCERN FOR THE
LABORING MAN.
The People Who Do Ev-
erything They Can
Against Labor
CAN'T BE TRUSTED
To Help it Now. Their
Professions Must Not
be Relied Upon.

The Gold Bug press is very anus
ing. They all have great love for the
laboring man, and are very solicitous
about his wages. Every last one Of
them endorsed the sending of United
States troops to Illinois to coerce la
borers who were striving against re-
duction of wages, and they denounced
Gov. Altgeld as an anarchist because
he pardoned some of the laborers who
were convicted for standing out for
better wages.
No campaign was on then, and the
laboring man and mechanic had no
rights or privileges that capital ought
to respect. The purchasing power of
their wages did not concern them
then.
Under free coinage the gold stand
ard press are very much afraid the
dollar that labor will get will be worth
only fifty-three cents During the la
Dor disturbances in Illinois ii did not
concern them at all that the wages of
labor were being reduced. This ras
the same as reducing the purchasing
po'cer Of the dollar.
Then, il the manufacturer, the rail
road companies and employers of
labor generally are so distressed over
the wages OF labor, what is to prevent
them from increasing wages or paying
employees in gold.
This concern for the wages of labor
IS all sham II reminds us of story
told several years ago, when the tariff
was the chief issue, and manufacturers
affected much concern for the laboring
man
A manufacturer observed an Irish
man going TO the polls with a Demo-
cratic ticket in his hand.
"What have you there, Pat" he
said.
"A Democratic ticket said Pat.
IF you vote that" said the manu-
iacturer, you will have your wages
reduced"
Faith SAID Pat, "if YOU behaved
that. you would be voting the ticket
yourself"
Just so. If the railroad companies
and employers of labor generally
thought that free coinage Of silver
would enable them to pay employees in
fifty-three cent dollors, every one of
them would be bowling for Bryan.

Candidate Bryan Talks.

VIM. Jennings Bryan, the democra-
tic candsdate for president, in one of
his speeches in West Virginia, last
week, said
MY friends we are advocating the
restoration of that financial policy
which was good enough for this coun-
try during the early days of the Re-
public-a financial policy which had
the support of all the leading Demo-
Gratis who lived before 1S73-a finan-
cial policy which was never abandon
ed by the American people-a finan-
cial policy which was changed by the
Representatives of the people in dark
ness and without discussion and, as
many believe, by a fraud actually
practiced upon the people. and for 20
years after that act of demonstration
was secretly passed, it was denounced
by the Democratic party, and even
the Republican party never openly
defended it; yet, in this campaign for
the first time we have party which
openly seeks to perpetuate that system
which was fastened upon this country
without the consent of the people.
"My friends, | want you to remem-
her that in this campaign those who
advocate the free coinage of silver are
the only ones who have system of
finance that they are willing to lay
nefore the American people. We are
demanding the free coinage Of silver
as we have the free coinage of gold
we are demanding unlimited coinage
of silver, as we have unlimited COIN
age of gold we are demanding coin
age at Is TO |, the very ratio that we
have today. We are not asking that
the silver dollar be changed. nor that
the gold dollar be changed, but that
the American people shall have an
opportunity to have both gold dollars
and silver dollars to do their business
with.
prior to 1873 the silver dollar
was dollar-and-three-cent dollar,
measured by gold. They told US that
they wanted to get rid of the silver
dollar because it was too good, and
now they do not want to bring it back
because it is not good enough.
They told us that they wanted
to demonetize it because it went
abroad, and now they are afraid to
remonetize il for fear it will come
back.
When our mints were opened to
the free coinage of gold and silver on
equal terms we did not have a cheap
dollar; and when we open our mints
again 10 silver on IN equal footing
with gold there will he nobody to
complain of 53 cent dollars, because
silver dollars will be worth as much
as gold dollars here and anywhere in
in the world
Now my friends, money is mat
ter of law. You can make your money
scarce il YOU want to make it dear. Ii
you are tired of seeing too much
money all YOU have TO do is to lesson
the volume and then the quantity will
not trouble you so much. If money
is 50 plentiful that you do not like to
see it rs often rs YOU do now, | will
promise that il YOU will vote for the
Republican ticket YOU will not be
troubled by seeing too much money
for the next four wears.

A Warning Nots---Bsd Rubbsrs in Canned Goods


1t behooves all thrifty house
keepers to have a care as to the
quality of rubbers for fruit cans as
the following will show:
A professional housekeeper of this
county who is well-known for culin-
airy successes, recently opened can
of misunderstanding canned cherries,
prepared by her last year. Their
looks on the dish were excellent, but
the taste was not so good. No one
could at first find ont the cause of
the very peculiar and disagreeable
flavor of the syrup. 1t was sweet
enough, but all had to be thrown
away no one could touch them and
another can was opened and shared
the same fate third, and still the
same. Then cans of peaches were
tried. with no better success.
At last she found one that was
good, wholesome and palatable. On
investigation it was found that all
cans with last years rubbers on the
top were sound and good but all
the cans on which were new rubbers
none could be eaten.
1t seems that the composition Of
rubbers must have deteriorated, and
something used in the manufacture
must be very Objectionable, to cause
such very unpleasant consequence.
Out of $50 cans Of fruit more than
third were simply useless.-Mid-
dletown Press.
