The Coming Issue.

If the senate Of the United States, SAYS
the Philadelphia Record, had been fairly
representative of the whole body of the
people the vote cast in favor of the free
oinage of silver would have been disas-
trous. 1t would have been the begin
ming Of population and the signal for
panic. But the senators represent states;
and the states favorable Co free coinage,
on the showing made by the vote in the
senate, are far less populous than are
the states opposed to it. On the basis of
property, or ax.paying, proportion the
disparity between the sound money and
the cheap money states is equally pro-
nounced. The vote in the senate, while
1t may represent the opinion of the separ-
ate constituencies of the senators, does
not represent the will of a majority of the
people Of the United States. In this fact
lies the hope of proper adjustment OF
the financial question.
The attitude Of the twO,great parties on
the silver question is deplorable, and full
of future difficulty. An analysis of the
vote dncluding pairs) shows the following
result:

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER REC
TAI TROUBLES EASILY CURED
BY A NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffer
! from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying Is itching
piles, indicate by warmth, slight moisture
and intense, uncomfortable Itching in the
parts affected.
4 The usual treatment has been some
! pie ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but nothing
! like q permanent cure can be expected
! from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
! Cure not only for itchiDg piles, but for
every other form of piles blind, bleeding
or protruding. The first plioation
| gives instant relief and the continued use
/ for a short time causes n permanent re-
moval of the tumors or the small para
sites which cause the intense itching and
discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable Irelief afforded
| by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because 1t
was supposedsto contain cocaine, opium
or similar drugs, Dut such is not the case.
A recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed it to be absolutely free from any
cocaine, opium, OF in fact any poison
ous injurious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians, because 1T Is
SO safe, so prompt in the relief afforded
and so far as known the only positive
cure for piles except as surgical opera
tion.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, the safest and
the most extensively sold of any pile oure
before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell 1t at %
cts. and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co, Albion,
Mich, for book on cause and cure Of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form OF piles
ask your druggist for package OF Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and try 1t tonight.

How Free Silver ia Affecting Business
in Japan.

HI
Col. John A. Cockerill, who is in Japan
for the New York Herald, writes his
paper a most interesting and instructive
article on the free silver question as APP
piled to Japan n'sis prosperity. AS people
are after facts in this financial discussion,
we give what Mr.. Cockerill says in full:
"I have seen of late floating around in
the newspapers of the western part of
the United States some able. articles
touching the beatitude of Japan under
her silvery system Of finance. These
articles are chiefly based upon misinfor-
nation sent out from here last summer
by cursory newspaper correspondents.
The faulty material thus provided is
being distributed and employed to en-
courage the silyerites of the South and
West Having no. preJudices on the
financial question, i wish to state few
facts. Japan is not happy in her finances.
know that Count Okuma and other
financiers of his school love to talk about
the wealth that Japan is accommodating
through buying in the markets of the
world for gold and selling for silver, but
the facts do not warrant their claims
Japan, by force of circumstances belongs
to the chop dollar sisterhood of Asia.
Some five years ago, when she maintained
her silver yen at something like par, che
went along smoothly and she enjoyed fair
prosperity. With the gradual decline Of
the yen her business has been demoral-
lied, and she is now entering upon, 1t Is
very generally agreed, season of depres-
sion and hard times.
"It has taken the people and the bust
ness world here quite a time to rea just
themelves, but they are at 1t now with a
vengeance. The penalty of depreciated
currency is now being paid For the last
four months there has been a steady de-
mand upon the part OF salaried men for
an increase of pay which would enable
them to live comfortably. AS the pur-
chasing power Of money has grown less
the prices Of commodities and the neces-
saries of life have steadily increased The
government led of recently by doubling
the salaries Of all its foreign employees.
This has been followed by a number Of
big corporations.
"People who know Japan will see at a
glance what they stand for. They have
yielded to the demands of their people
after the usual struggle, and this Is the
beginning. Wages are everywhere being
pushed up, and in all branches where skill
is required. Men are lying down on their
contracts and begging for concessions.
bankruptcy stares thousands of honor
able business men in the face. This de-
preston is not due In any sense to the
war with China. Everybody knows that
Japan made money during her war. The
government is rioher than 1t ever was.
The decline Of silver has upset everything,
and great uncertainty attends all business
enterprise. The first thing that a bust
ness man does In the morning Is to look
at the value Of the huctuating dollar. II
may be worth fifty-three cents or 1t may

Apti.saIoon League Defeated.

The Harris local option bill met defeat
in the legislature and that it met this
fate is not at all surprising. The liquor
interests were we'll looked after and more
good generalship was displayed against
the bill than for 1t.
There is another phase of the question :
the passage of the bill would very mater :
tally lessen the revenues of the state.
The advocates held that the revenues had
better be lessened than to keep our jails,
eformatories, inArmaries and penal in
stitutions full. We doubt the argument:
we seriously question whether prohibi-
tive measure would lessen the consump-
ton of liquor to any appreciable extent
and as for correcting morality we know
of no instance where morality WAS ever
corrected by legislation. With all these
facts in view, and the extreme character
of the bill, its defeat Is no surprise We
believe more good can be accomplished by
high license than by prohibition.
But this question is not yet ended. II
the saloon and liquor element imagine
for one moment that the Anti-Saloon
League is through they reckon not wise
ly. The fight has just begun, and out
side of the large cities the sentiment is
against the saloon men. For some
years past the presumption of saloon men
and brewers to dominate the politics OF
municipalities and states has aroused
strong feeling, There are hundreds OF
liberal thinking citizens who sort OF
favored the Harris bill just to curb the
saloon element in the control Of Office
matters. We believe the liquor element
has it within its own hands TO allay q
good deal Of the prejudice against it; one
Of the means at hand is to conflne ltseli

The County Fair.

The Massillon Independent wants the
Stark county fair something besides a
place fer Irritation and the sale OF ice
cream candy. Egg thriving con-
tests humbug sideshows, and the like,
be effectually barred and real exhibits
substituted.
We are afraid the aristocratic air in
which the Independent man circulates
renders him quite incapable of suggest
ing for county fair. A country fair is
a country fair and any effort to make 1t
anything else would result in dismal
| failure. We do not mean to insinuate
that the fair last year was even a third
class country fair; When it is taken into
consideration that Stark county has close
to 100, 900 people, is the richest agricul-
tual county in Ohio and the third richest
| in the United States the fair last year
was a burning disgrace 1t was far worse
than nothing.
A county fair can never be made a
place for "the incorporated towns in the
county to make municipal display by
large tables, showing population, debt
resources and so on; dictures of public
buildings and objects of interest" Such
exhibits would be all right in an exposi-
ton, but we doubt the result as applied
to country fair. A country fair is a
place for grand reunion: an annual
meeting place. Turn the gates open to
ell women free of charge, encourage ex'
hibits of poultry, stock, baking, needle
work, farm products, etc, etc.. have a
few good races; then there will be a
crowd, a big crowd, and with crowd
come exhibitors from abroad, side.shows,
balloon men and all sorts of cheap and
expensive attractions. Such condition
means a success. A successful country
fair is not established on aristocratiC
| lines.

The silverite war on Wages.

Sixteen slverite senators of the United
States, including,the Hon. j. ID. Gamer
on, of Pennsylvania, have signed decla-
ration, drawn up by Mr.. Wharton Barker
of Philadelphia, in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the ratio OF
l6 to 1, by the independent action of the
United States The declaration asserts
that the wages paid to the workingmen OF
this country are too high to enable our
manufacturers TO compete with those OF
China and Japan, and that the free coin
age of silver is the only possible remedy
for the evil
Commenting on these facts, the New
York Sun says that,Mr Barker and his
sixteen fellow .silverites are too prudent
to say outright that their object Is tc
bring wages in this country down to the
level of those paid in China and Japan
They profess to desire only to remove
the difference in the rate of exchange
between those countries and ours. This
subterfuge is very thin, and its thinness
is exposed byIMr. Barkers' avowal, IN
letter to American manufacturers, accom-
panying his declaration, that he also de.
sires 70 raise the prices Of agricultural
products We quote his words
"The agricultural classes will not lon
ger give their support TO protection un'
less Justice is done them. They are i'm
poyerished by low prices for their produce,
prices fixed in competition with the de-
graded agricultural labor of silver-using
countries for the European markets.
Three-fourths Of our exports consist of the
products Of our farms. With agricultural
staples we pay our debts abroad, and the
prices our farmers receive for their pro
ducts are so low, and the burden of our
debts, which they largely bear, so great,
that they are reduced to poverty and de
spair.
"The fall in farm produce must be
checked, or our farmers will be ruined,
They ask for legislation that will raise the
prices they receive abroad for their pro
duce: namely, the restoration of silver tc
its place as money.
II the prices of agricultural produce are
raised abroad, they will rise here, and
with them. will rise the prices of all othe'
commodities. The result of free silver
would, therefore, be- that, while wages
in this country might remain nominally
the!same that they are now, their power
to purchase bread, beef, sugar, tea, coffee
clothing, ana other articles of daily con
sumption, especially those imported from
abroad, would be reduced, by one-half
