The general denunciation of the
Ohio silver platform, which was
drawn up by Governor Mckinley, as
tricky evasion of the real issue, has
forced the governor to attempt an
explanation which doesn't cut any
ice whatever. The governor can solve
the whole matter in three lines by q
specific statement that he will veto q
free coinage bill, should congress pass
such a measure. The people will then
know what they are voting on when
they vote for Mckinley. He won't
do it, however. He is playing three
card monte with words.---PO8t.

THE Ohio legislature has done one
good thing that is worthy of praise.
Senator Garfield's bill to prevent the
corrupt use of money in large
amounts in elections passed the house
Wednesday and is now law. 1t ap-
plies to all elections, primary as well
as regular. Candidates can use mon
ey for personal expenses only, and in
this are limited to 800, where not
more than 5000 votes are concerned,
with small additions up to 5000, vary
ing with the increased number of
voters. Violation of this law makes
the candidate ineligible to off e. He
is required to furnish sworn state
ment OF all money spent by him or
any one else for him in the campaign.

What WiIlDn Ito

Medical writers claim that the sue.
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application
and one that will reach the reno
sores and liberated surfaces. TIE
history of the efforts to treat catarrh
is positive proof that only one rene
dy has completely met these condi-
tions, and that is Elys Cream Balm.
This safe and pleasant remedy has
mastered catarrh as nothing else has
ever done, and both physicians and
patients freely concede this fact.

Governor Matthews, of Indiana:
1t is as much the duty of an Ameri-
can citizen to attend the primaries
and aid in the selection of good men,
and the adoption of right measures
as it is to respond to their country's
call in the time of incurrection or in
vasion. At present politics or politi-
clans are to some extent terms of re-
proach. This should not be. If the
majority of citizens do their full duty
in time of peace, the danger of being
called upon to do military service is
mnch reduced.

OUR OCEAN TRADE.

It is the common impression that the
rine dates from the time of the Rebel
lion. when the Alabama and other Con-
federate cruisers captured and destroy
ed numerous vessels, with their cargoes,
forced the owners Of many others 10
seek a foreign register, and s. increased
the risk Of shipment in vessels not
transferred to a foreign flag. and the
cost Of insurance, that the ocean car
rying trade, in which we once led the
world, was rapidly absorbed by other
nations, and our own share therein re-
duced to comparatively insignificant
proportions.
In point Of fact, however. as shown
by Seaboard, journal devoted to
American shipping interests, the de-
cline in our ocean commerce began at a
much earlier date. AS shown by that
paper:
For thirty-six years after the act pro-
hibiting the registry of foreign built
ships was passed American ships car
ried 90 per cent of our foreign COM
merce, because the discriminating du-
ties act, which gave protection to Amer
ican ships, was in force all that tin.e.
When the discriminating duties act
was repealed in 1928, American ships
were carrying &C per cent Of our for
eign commerce, since which time they
have been gradually losing their pro-
portion, until today but Il per cent is
carried in American vessels. When the
discriminating duties act was repealed
sixty-eight years ago. free trade in the
carriage of American commerce was
substituted, and has until this day
been continuously in force.
Had the law Of 1892, under the benef-
cent operation Of which our shipping in
terests grew until our sails whitened
every sea, and we were rapidly achiev-
ing the commercial dominion of the
ocean, which has since fallen TO Great
Britain, been in force at the close Of
lilt iNEDElllDl AilFlt - LO AANoNipll Jul
that our carrying trade would have re-
vived at once Ships which had sought
a foreign ownership would have been
re-transferred and our shipyards and
docks would again have become the
scenes Of endless activity. But ship
builders and owners had now to face
not only the vast changes brought in
by the now demonstrated superiority Of
iron ships, for the construction of
which they were ill-prepared in COM
parison with England; they had not
only to adapt their operations to the
construction Of steam vessels instead
OF the sailing craft which had up to a
short time before the war, absorbed all
their attention; but they had to face
the frowns of adverse legislation,
which denied them any protection
against the vastly superior advantages
and mighty wealth Of England and 9TH
er countries and gave to foreign vessels
equal opportunities in American ports
with our own. Further while foreign
governments wer encouraging the
growth Of their merchant fleets with
bounties and subsidies, all such encour-
agement was withheld from our own
shipowners. What wonder that, left
to contend, without aid, against over
whelming odds, they gradually trans
ferred their energies to other fields; so
