Ctas OF THE EARS.


Never use anything but syringe
and warm water for clearing the ears
of pus.
Never strike nor box child's ears:
this has been known to rupture the
drumhead and cause incurable deaf
ness.
Never wet the hair if you have any
tendency to deafness; wear an oiled
silk cap when bathing and refrain
from diving.
Never scratch the ears with any
thing but the finger if they itch. Dc
not use the head of pin, hairpin, pen
ell tips or anything of that nature
Never let the feet become cold and
camp, nor sit with the back toward the
window, as these things tend to aggra-
Sate any existing hardness OF hearing.
Never put milk, fat or any oily sub
stance into the ear for the relief OF
pain, for they soon become rancid and
tend to excite inflammation. Simple
warn, water will answer the purpose
better than anything else.
Never be alarmed If a living insect
enters the ear. Pouring warm water
into the canal will drown 1t, when it
will generally come to the surface and
ran he easily removed with the fingers
A few fufts of tobacco smoke blown
into the ear will stupety the insect.

eide the question. If they vote for Me

paying their premiums 100 cents or

rhe Volume OF Representative Money Has
rrebied Since the Decentralization OF
silver In 1873 - Overppoduction Re-
spOnsibie for Low Prices.

A coinage catechism, published by
The Nation, gets SO directly at tie
meat Of the whole financial controversy
that it is worth the while OF every voter
to study 1t closely and preserve the
facts and figures here given:
@. What is the fundamental conten-
ton of the free coinage advocates?
A. That the amount Of money in cIcu-
lation has been decreasing since the de-
monetiSaton of silver, and that this de-
crease has caused a general fall in
prices
@, Is it true that the money supply
has been decreasing? A, 1t is not.
@. What are the facts? A. So far as
the United States is concerned, there
has been an enormous increase. IN
1860 the money in circulation IN this
country was SAP. 1o2 All; in 1872 it was
S73S,3O7 $40; by the treasury bulletin
at the beginning of the present month
of July. it was 81 500, 725,2 200.
Q. What does this show? A. 1t
shows that our money supply has IN
creased $40 per cent as compared with
1860, and 1o4 per cent as compared
with 1872.
@. Has the money supply increased
faster than the population? A. Very
much faster.
G. How do you prove this? A. By di-
yiding the total money in circulation at
each date by the total population Of
the country at the same date, and thus
finding the circulation per capita.
O. What does such process show?
A. The per capita circulation of the
United States July /, 1860 was s14.aG;
July /, 1872, it was S1S.70; at the be-
ginning Of July, in 1896, it was S21.15.

Cheap Money nna The Rate o, Interest

Cheap Money nnd the Rate o, Interest.
If there is any one thing which, in
the estimation Of writer's and speakers
in sympathy with the socialistic philo-
sophy of life has done more to fasten
the plutocratic yoke upon the neck of
labor than any other, it is interest.
Without expressing any opinion as to
the right OF wrong of charging inter-
est upon money loaned and upon capital
invested, and even though it should be
admitted that interest is eNtortion.
there is one question which we shonld
like 10 have socialists who believe III
the free coinage of silver answer. How
and why does it happen that the rate
of interest is low in countries which
are upon gold basis, and high in col1n-
tries which are upon a silver basis? In
England money lent brings only . per
cent, but in silver countries the Gus
tomary minimum charge is II per cent.
Money brings Y per cent in Venezuela,
a silver country: but in British Guiana
from to per cent. The moment that
free coinage is adopted in the United
States which it never will be--the rate
of interest will rise in America. Now.
il interest is the weapon with which
capital strikes down labor. and free
coinage of silver has a tendency TO
raise the rate of interest. will not free
coinage be an injury to labor? 1t seems
to us that it would increase the burdens
of labor, fasten upon it stronger and
heavier chains and degrade it instead
of eIevating it. II this is not SO will no;
some advocate of free coinage point Out
to us why not?
