STATESMAN'S SHIRT.

opened uuder circumstances OF un- |
usual fervor and enthusiasm. We
are in rsceipt Of a copy Of the
OcALA STAR of July 20, which
contains a highly impressionistic
account of q grand democratic
rally at Blitchton, the day before,
and the very briefest Pcrusal puts
the whole scene before US in the
most vivid styleimaginab,e. We can
see the gathered muitituds-be-
tween 600 and 1900, the OCALA
STAR declares-the blazing sun,
the streams Of perspiration; we
can hear the wild fury of applause
as the speakers one by one blow
off their l5ng-pent steam. And
then we seem to feel the deafening
outburst Of delight as Senator Call
advances slowly and gracefully to
the front, and, tossing back his
billowy name, turns on the torrent
of his eioquerce. OF Senator
Call, however, We shall let the
STAR speak for itself:
Senator Call was warmly wei
coined aud treated with such re-
spect and Difference as ar inteili-
gent aud refined people would nat
uralIy extend to a man occupying
the high and dignihed position of
United States senator. Every
body expected the senator to dis
play at least enough senatorial dig
nifty to appear on the platform
properly clad; but TO their great
astonishment he came Gu: to de-
liver his speech cad IN such
manner as to. shock the m m1desty of
the ladies' and disgust and outrage
the intelligence OF thr gentlemen.
"A candidate tor the legislature
from Marion county said to the
writer that Mr. Calls appearance
was reflection uptn the intelli-
gence and refinement Ct the COM
munitY. This is only sno, her con-
firmatIon Of the oft-repeated state
ment that Floiida'S senior senator

himself up To the point of fully re-
alizing that cracker ignorance and
cowboy vuIgarity Of Thirty years
ago have given place tn a citizen
ship unsurpassed III all the country
for intelligence, progress and far
reaching enterprise.
"There is schoolhousc on ev-
cry hill top and a church IN the
valley, and if Mr.. Gail or any other
man thinks he can please the peo-
pie and secure their suffrage by
mounting a public platform with
an unbuttoned shirt front SO as 20
expose to view his person, he has
woefully deceived himself and mis-
calculated the times in which we
are now living"
Yes, we csn see it al. We could
have imagined it had the STAR
kept silent. With the STAR to
help US, we gaze upon the scene as
though it were depicted for us by
master hand
But is our esteemed Florida con
temporary quite sure that it does
its favorite son full justice in this
particular case? We admit that If
is somewhat unconventional fol
great statesmen to appear on i'm

tions and tyrannical restrain is OF
custom. But may there not be oc
casions when this custom is more
honored in the breach than in the
observance? May not a crisis arise
in which leaders of popular
thought are warranted in repudia

&c. O.. Remove .ne cause.

Walla walla Statesman: When silver
was demonetized in 1873 it was worth
more than the legal ratio q 10 to l, the
silver dollar being worth sl.03 IN gold.
Since silver was discarded as primary
money the price has steadily declined.
Is IL not reasonable to believe that IL
the Cause is removed the effect will cease !?
The people are determined to test the
matter at least.
The claim that the present low price of
silver is due to over production falls fiat
when we face the fact that the worlds
production Of gold has increased more
rapidly than the output OF silver. Today
the value OF the gold In the world is
greater than that OF the silver. The best
statisticlans estimate the ratio Of the two
metals to be 1897 to l, which does not
differ very greatly from our legal ratio OF
10 tol.
There has been 80 much wild talk
about the enormous production OF silver
that many people have formed very err
roneons conception OF the facts az to the
relative quantity Of silver and gold In the
world.
Ignorance on the money question Is not
all on one side.

An important effect of the Supreme
court decision that declares uneonstitu-
al and void the law giving marble and
stone workers lien upon grave stones
will be to greatly curtail their business,
for large proportion OF it has been done
heretofore on the credit system.
The sentiment Of hononng the dead is
very strong in human nature. The poor,
especially, possess TO marked degree,
and frequent subject themselves to the
greatest priyations in order to give it ex-
preston. The grave of many poor
man is distinguished by monument tha.
represents sum OF money greater
than he could have earned by
years continuous labor. In many in
stances it has been erected by his child
rem, or other relatives, who, in order to
aequit themselves OF what they consider
ed dutiful respect to his memory. have
gladly mortgagei their wages for many
months to the maker of the monument.
In this way the dead have often proved
membranes TO the living.
Now, however, that the monument
maker has no longer a legal lien upon the
grave stones that he furnishes, it is not
likely that he will extend credit to
patrons who are unable to pay cash, or
furnish security. But whatever pecuni-
airy losses may fall to his share will be
amply compensated for by the benefit
that will accrue to the poor. Finding
they are no longer able to indulge in a
pardonable. but ex.rayagant, reverence
for their dead on credit. they will be
Obliged to content themselves with simple
memorials which they can pay for in
cash, and the dead will no longer be un-
consciously responsible for plunging the
living into voluntary debt.

II is strange and interesting fact that
only eight presidents wore boards. Cleve-
land is the only one who had mustache
alone. Jefferson had the finest hair of
all, but Pierce was perhaps the proudest
of his locks. Jackson was the most
leoninelike. and Polk the mildest in ex-
preston Of the lot. j. q. Adams was
the most bald. and Washington was the
only one who had false teeth, according
to reports. Jefferson. Jackson and Lin.
coin are perhaps most mentioned OF past
presidents, and Cleveland is the largest
man, per pounds. that ever occupied the
chair.
johnson was the most assailed and the
first Harrison had the least to do with
the office, as death removed him prema-
turely. Lincoln had the saddest fate,
Van Buren, the pleasantest. The procla-
nation OF emancipation by Lincoln and
the doctrine OF Monroe are perhaps the
greatest papsrs bearing upon their times
that ever came from the hol iess OF Office.
Jackson and Lincoln were the most fear
less, Grant the most stoiclike, aud Bryan
but the water Is getting deep and We
laast not deal in fntnrities.

Mothers

Remember that Castoria does not con-
tain Morphine, Opium, or any other
narcotic substance, in any quantity, shape
or form. 1t is entirely vegetable, pleas
ant to take, positively effective, and per-
fectly harmless. 1t is not secret remedy;
the formula is printed ON the wrapper.
Your hpysician will recommend it, Pare
goric, Bateman's Drops, and many so called
Soothing Syrups, are composed principal
ly of Opium or Morphine; in any quantity
they stupefy, and in large quantities are
deadly poisons. Castoria assimulates
the food and regulates the bowels, cures
diarrhna, allays feverishness and freet-
fulness, soothes the pain in teething, re-
lieyes constipation and kills worms. It
brings refreshing and natural sleep to the
child, and gives rest to the mother.
"Castoria is so well adapted to infants
and children, that recommend it as
superior to any other known remedy"
DR.. H. A. ARCHER,
Ill s. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
March 8. 1887.
From personal knowledge and obser-
walton can say that Castoria is an ex-
cellent medicine for children, acting as
laxative and relieving the pent up bowels
and general system very much. Many
mothers have told me of its excellent eff
feet upon their children"

last winter in speech 10 congress on the
impossibility OF effecting such an agree

yer. Large deposits OF silver having been
discovered, the bondbolcers foresaw thai
the value Of their bonds would not be sc
great unless silver should be stricken onl
Of our circulation before il should lessen
the demand for gold. That was the Sc
cret Of the whole conspiracy. The PEG.
pie believe that crime was committed
in 1878, and they are are determined that

silver circulation Of the United States.
therefore, is over $3.50 .0Oo.0 900, OF which
only about $li,0O0.000 is Eos in the
treasury as part OF the public funds.
And yet gold newspapers state, says
the Wallis Walla Siaieaman, that silver
will not circulate among the people, by
which they mean to circulate the false
hood that the millions Of silver dollar In
exitence are not in use as money. They
are all In use lust 90 much as the money
is in use which the man deposits with his
banker and draws checks upon. There
is very little money actually in circula-
tion among the people except silver dol
lars and silver certificates. There is
certainly no gold coin 10 circulation
among the people east Of the Rocky
mountains. 0ne-hslf Of the s34e. 900 900
are impounded in the: treasury, the secre-
tary having snapped gold dollars for
them which he bought by the issuance Of
interest bearing bonds. The other hall
OF the greenbacks are mainly in the
banks as are also little more than $780,
600. 600 of national bank notes. Every
bank, 10 plling up its paper money. puts
it in different denominations, with the
greenbacks at the bottom, Sherman coin
notes next. and the silver certificates on
top. The man who presents bis check at
any bank is paid out OF the silver certifi-
Gates. from the top Of the pile. When
he gets greenback OF any other sort OF
note, II is because, 10 the pile Of the de.
nomination he asks for, the silver certifi.
Gates have just at that time all been paid
out. New deposits will. Of course, soon
replenish the silver certificates in the
pile.
We have been prompted to make this
statement for the purpose Of contradicting
the repeated falsehood that not more than
sixty million Of silver money is kept in
circulation among our seventy millions OF
people. We reiterate, In brief, the state
ment above made-that there is more
than four hundred millions OF silver in
in the form OF coin AMI GER
and that it constitutes very
much the larger portion OF the money
handled BY the people.
