DETECTION BY FINGER PRINTS.

BY combination Of the Bsrtillion
method of measurement with the finger
print system any prisoner can be
identified with almost absolute GER
tainty and in a very short space of
time 1t has been calculated that the
chance of two finger prints being lden-
teal is less than one in sixty-four bill
lion, and when we consider the re-
latively small numbers of the criminal
population, and that other personal
evidence WOULD De available In any
doubtful case, mistaken identity ought
now to be a thing Of the past The
method of obtaining the prints is to
press the thumb or finger upon plate
of copper which has previously been
coated with yerg thin film of printers
ink. The linked fingers are then
pressed or rolled upon the card which
is kept as record. Although finger
prints have been used as sign manual
from the earliest times, yet it is only
recently that they have been studied
from scientific point of view. and the
evidence accumulated is as yet insult
feient to enable us to realize their
value to the anthropologist.

content with robbing Nine. Stambuloff
Of her patriotic husband 1t is engaged
rev In depriving her Of her property.
When Stambuloff died at the hands Of
the hired assassins who have never
been brought to justice the authorities
thought fit, for some inexplicable
reason, to seize all his possessions. II
they had seized the possession Of his
murderers there would have been some
reason in the process. but Bulgarian
methods Of justice have grown strange
of late. The most remarkable injustice
is that all Nine Stambuloff's petitions

needed, and she Is now in the most
embarrassed circumstances, and in
danger of losing the last vestiges Of
her household furniture.

NEW PICTURE or MRS. M'KlNLEY

Mrs. William Mckinley does not like
political life very well, and would prob
ably be better satisfied if she could be
sure of remaining quietly in her Can
ton home. But if it chances that she
is called upon to move into the white
house next March she VIII feel per-
fectly at home, for she was mistress
there for short time once. 1t was
during the term Of President Hayes.
Major Mckinley was a congressman
then, and the McKinleys and the Hayes
family We're very friendly, Mrs. Nc
Kinley being somewhat of an invalid.
they lived at a hotel, but took their
Sunday dinners at the white house.
On one occasion the president and
family were out of town for ten days,
and during that time the McKinleys
kept house for them at the invita-
tion of Mrs. Hayes.

An Effective Method of Work.

In an attempt to stem the silver tide
in North Carolina several thousand
copies of an address to farmers, signed
by about 100 of the best known men O,
the state, have been circulated It putt
strongly the injury that would be done
to the farmer through the industrial de.
preston that would inevitably result
from the triumph, Or even the danger
of triumph, Of free silver. Business
men, it says, would refuse to buy,
because of the unless9ftainty of being able
to sell again factories would shut dow1
and wages stop, because merchants
would not dare order goods which might
be worth less than they. cost in few
months; laborers ,and. mechanics, the
chief consumers Of food and clothes,
without money to buy, would cause the
demand for these articles, the raw ma.
terials for which the farmers supply, tx
dwindle almost to nothing. Surely, with
business at standstill, factories CLOSED
and operatives out of work, the prospect
for the tiller Of the soil would not be 6
happy one.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1896-07-08
STOP AND THINK.
And Ask Yourself the Following Business
like Questions.


like Questions.
If YOU have been led by the plausible
fallacies of the free coinage advocates
into favoring their scheme, stop for q
moment your shouting for cheap silver
dollars and ask yourself these questions:
l. If this country should enact a law
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at l6 to /, would not
our 5000, 900, 900 of gold be driven out
of circulation?
2. Would not the withdrawal of that
great amount of money from business
channels cause a financial panic, through
the inability of debtors to meet their
obligations and the natural desire OF all
creditors to protect themselves against
being paid in deprecated currency?
3. In case of another currency panic
like that Of 1898, during which hun
dreds Of banks failed, thousands OF fac
tories closed down and tens Of thousands
of business men were forced into in
solvency, would not the farmers and
workingmen suffer then as they did
three years ago?
4. Would the slight advantage Of be-
ing able to cheat creditors by paying
them so cent dollars ovcrbalance the
great losses through idlcness Of workers
and inability Of farmers to sell theil
products?
8. If the purchasing power Of the dol
lar were cut in two, as the silveritea
propose, how would that affect every
man who has little money in the bank
or loaned out at interest or who haa
been paying premiums Oh fire or a life
insurance policy?
6. Since the prosperity Of the people
of one section of the country depends
ON the conditions of industry and trade
in all other parts, what effect would Il
policy which would alarm investors and
cause the general withdrawal of capital
have on the welfare of the whole people:
7. As the avowed purpose Of free
coinage is to double the price of every
kind of products, and as any advance i'll
prices must compel the people who buy
things to pay more for their purchases,
what advantage would that be to the
10000, 900 American consumers who
buy just as much as they sell?
s. How would calling things by diff
ferent names, for instance saying that
silver half dollar shall be a dollar, in.
crease in any way the wealth Of those
who now are poor?
8. If the free silver leaders can only
promise benefits to come through the
adoption Of the silver standard without
showing how these promises can possibly
be fulfilled, why should any sensible
man take such leap into the dark as
to vote for q money system which has
nothing to recommend it but that it is
used in Mexico, India and China?
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1896-07-08
Some Sixteen to One Logic.

Mexico has free silver The Mexican
people arc very poor. Therefore, we
want free silver.
Wages in this country are too low
Wages are higher hero and in all the
gold standard countries than i'll China,
India and other silver using nations.
Therefore, we want free silver,
We believe in tho double standard
under which both metals will be used
to measure values Free coinage at I6
to 1 will drive out all our gold and put
our currency ON the silver basis. There
fore, we want free silver.
We favor an honest dollar which shall
be just to all the people. The adoption
Of the silver standard will enable debt
ors to repudiate onc-half of their obliga-
lions. Therefore, we want free silver.
Gold dollars are too scarce and dear
to serve as money of the people. Under
free coinage q silver dollar will always
be worth just as much as a gold dollar
Therefore, we want free silver.
The government can make 90 cents
worth of metal worth 100 cents in gold
by stamping it lone dollar" Under
free coinage such dollar would buy
only half as much goods as a gold dol
lar-that is, it would be worth only
half as much. Therefore, we want free
silver.
The prosperity Of the American peo-
pie depends on the amount of wealth
produced and the fairness with which
1t is distributed among the producers
Measuring products in silver instead of
gold would neither create any more
wealth nor distribute it more justly
Therefore, we want free silver.
The country is suffering because there
is not half enough money to do business
with. AS soon as free coinage law is
passed our $500, 900, 900 in gold will all
be withdrawn, and we shall lose all
that amount from circulation. There
fore, we want free silver
There is something wrong with the
country somehow, though we don't
know what it is nor how to cure it.
But everything will come all right if a
lot Of cheap money agitators are elected
to congress, SO now and everlastingly
we want free silver. - Whidden Ora

Inflated Prices For Cur Dogs,

If this government SHOULD open its
minis to coinage of the world S silver at
16 to /, we would go at once to silver
recommendation. This is the voice of all
history emphasized by the present status
Of every free coinage country on the
earth. We can no more have bimetal-
lism i'll actual use and unlimited silver
coinage than we can have square,
round object or dry, wet weather
Wherein would the people be benefited
If they get double prices i'll half value
money! If farmers products brought
double prices. so would the manufactur-
ers'. The benefits and advantages would
be equal, except that buyers would al
ways deduct enough to safely cover the
fluctuations of silver. and this amount
would be dead loss to producers and a
premium to spectators. l knew boy
who sold a cur dog for 800, but he took
pay in pups at $40 apiece. so he was not
materially benefited by the inflated
prices. From Speech of Judge George
n. Aldredge.
