The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1896-09-01

Since the repeal of the silver
purchasing law in 1898 the fall Of
general prices has been 20 per cent.
This is the greatest fall in general
prices within the Same space OF
time the world has known. The
election of Mckinley and con-
gress pledged to the gold standard,
however, will result in a fall of 20
per cent in the next year in general
prices. This prediction has far
more TO sustain it than the pre-
diction that the restoration of silver
will reduce its value to 90 cents on
the dollar.

LITERARY NOTES.

In the September Review of Re-
views the editor discusses different
phases OF the Presidential cam
paign-especially the revolt of the
gold-standard Democrats, the attl-
tude of Eastern wage .earners to-
ward Mr.. Bryan, ana the spread of
free-silver doctrine among the
farmers. Another important topic
of discussion in the department of
"The Progress of the World" Is
Lord Salisbury's Venezuelan prop
osition, in connection with the
general scheme for permanent
tribunal of arbitration. The editor
also covers most of the striking de-
velopments of the month in British
and European politics.

In 1878 the average price of corn
in the United States was 40 cents
bushel, and the average return
was $l1.4l per acre. In 1898 the
average price of corn was % cents
per bushel, and the average return
$3.50 per acre. The yield and the
price both being low, how does it
happen that while the products of
the farm have diminished about
one-half in value, the purchasing
power of the dollar has multiplied
by two? Why shouldn't money
go down and prices go up?

Ricardo, one of the greatest
economists England has produced,
says:
"The value of money in any
country is determined by the
amount of it in existence. That
commodities would rise or fall in
price in proportion to the increase
or diminution of money, l assume
as a fact that is incontrovertible."
Ricardo died without hearing Of
that class of modern financiers
known as "goldbugs," who assert
that small supply of money is
better than large one, if only it is
sound"

The Mccormick Harvester COM
pany threatens to close down max
ing machines if Bryan is elected.
They think no wheat will be raised
in case Mckinley is defeated. The
farmers of the country may con-
clude to boycott Mr.. Mccormick
and his machines. That would
serve him right. He has grown
rich on their patronage and now
seeks to control their votes.

their votes by undue means, then
the sooner such a law is enacted
the better. 1t would be a pleasure

Parisians, which comes direct from a
run of $50 nights at Hoyt's New York
Theater, and two months at the Boston
Museum, where 1t proved the best money
maker OF the season, and the greatest
comedy success seen in years. Even Alan
Dale, who for months had been unable to
see anything of merit on the stage joined
in the enthusiastic acclaim and laughter.
The only reason IL is not still running in
New York, while No. 2 company is on
the road, is that Mr.. Charles III. Hoyt
would not consent to further postpone
meDt of the New York opening of "a
Black Sheep" He said his object in
acquiring a New York theater was to pro-
duce his own plays there. Consequently
the splendid original company and elabor-
ate scenery which were at Hoyt's viii be
seen In Providence.
Mr.. Charles Frohman has with "The
Gay Parisians' made remarkabl
record, this being the third season that
he has packed New York theater for a
long run with a great comedy success.
The first was "Charley's Aunt the
second "Too Much Johnson" and now
COM s. The '.Gay Parisisns," declared to
be funnier than either.
Ii tells a comicsl story of young wife
whose husband ia obliged to be away
from home some nights son business"
end who at last grows suspicious that he
is Indifferent and neglectful and may have
another woman on q string. In spirit OF
revenge she accepts the advice of a neigh
Dor who is friend of her husband, to go
OUT with him and make night OF 1t her
self, They 60 to the theater and afterward
to restaurant which Is raided by the po-
lice. They are obliged to give their names
and each gives the others name, thew oman
saying she is the wife OF her companion,
and her companion saying he is the
husband the woman. The reeult is,
the friends wife hears of the escapade
and the guilty pair have a terrible time
escaping from the second complication
in which they find themselves. There
are dozen other characters involved, and
from beginning to end there is the fun
niest kind OF series of mixed-up and
mirthful situations.
Josephine Hall, the charming Rhode
Island girl whose home is at East Green
wich, plays the role OF the young wife,
and wears some very handsome dresses,
which advantageously set off her own
striking charms. The friend who takes
her out and gets her into so much trouble
t hat she vows she will never 60 out AGAIN
OF an evening without her husband, is
William j. Ferguson, the finest character
