WAVE OLD GLORY ON OCT. 81.

One does not have to go very far to
seek the reason for the profuse display
of the national emblem in this cam
paign. 1t can be found in the Chicago
platform. The spontaneity of it's selec-
tion as the appropriate badge of sound
money champions is wonderfully sig
nificant There seems to have been
little inclination on the part of Mr..
Bryans followers to question the right
of the advocates of sound money and
protection 10 display the national col
ors as the proper insignia of their
cause. The only lamentation heard was
the Altgeldian wall, which is always
expected when the stars and stripes
are flung 10 the breeze.
The rivalry as to who could make
the most lavish display of the national
emblem has been confined to the ranks
of the supporters of Mckinley. There
has been no perceptible effort on the
part OF the popocrats 10 wrest 1t from
those who are fighting to maintain the
national credit. There seems TO be gen.
eral assent to the proposition that the
flag does not go with the Chicago plat
form.
This tacit recognition of the fact that
the issues for which one party is con-
tending is something new in our Amer
lean politics. Heretofore there has been
a patriotic rivalry between the Repub-
licans and the Democrats in our ma
tional campaigns as 10 which side
could make the most profuse display
of the stars and stripes. 1t is circum-
stance which will mean much to loyal
friends of the government and will
be a potential factor at the polls in No
vember.
Recognizing this fact, Chairman Han
ma Of the national committee suggests
that Oct 81, the Saturday before cleo
ton, be observed as flag day" in ev-
cry city and town, on which day every
person who intends to vote for sound
money and national prosperity shall
display the national colors from his
home and his place of business. The
suggestion is a most commendable one
and should meet with an enthusiastic
response all over the nation.
Let every man who intends TO vote
for the preservation of our national
honor signify his patriotic intention by
displaying a flag on Saturday, Oct. 81.
II will be a magnificent object lesson
in patriotism to hundreds Of thousands
who may be wavering between sound
money and repudiation.
Remember the day-Saturday, Oct.

THE demopops do not have much
to say concerning their congressional
candidate in this district-the less
they say the better. Mr.. Jarvis does
not come to Paw Paw, his old home,
to speak. His vote here will be the
lightest of any on the fusion ticket.
We have no desire to enter into Mr..
Jarvis record-we do not think it
necessary, but we do not believe him
fit nor safe man TO send to con-
gress. The best element of the peo-
pie will not be found among Mr.
Jarvis supporters.

Ladies, we beg to call your attention
to our French tailor method of dress
cutting 1t is absolutely the latest and
best now in use. We take but three
measures and guarantee a perfect tit.
Can be learned in few lessons, is sim
pie and accurate, easy to learn and inn
possible to forget. We have just what
the people have been wanting for years,
viz: a method that is simple, accurate
and cheap. We urge the necessity of
every lady learning TO cut her own
dresses, regardless of present condi-
tions. We claim it an accomplishment.
We will demonstrate the merits of our
method by cutting test Innings free of
charge. Seamless waists a specially.
We would kindly invite you to investi-
gate the merits of our method at my
place of business in Longwell block.

low citizens. the democrats; we be-
lieve they are controlled by the same
high motives as are we, but we can
not but believe that they are gravely
mistaken, and that their position on
the present issues is taken because
of false premises, from which false
deductions must come as a natural
consequence. Neither are we actu-
ated by any selfish motives, for we
can have no private gain except
through the prosperity of our pa
irons, the people.
To our mind, there are three sail
ent points to be decided in the pres
ent campaign-three issues of fore
most importance. From the way
in which the campaign has been made,
rather than from the fact of its
greater Importance, the financial is
sue will at once suggest itself to all.
Two claims are made by the different
advocates of the free coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to /. First,
that 1t will enable debtors to pay
their obligations easier, which is an
other way of saying that it means a
cheaper or deprecated dollar. Sec
ond, that it will make gold and silver
in commercial value as l to 16. The
NoRTHERNER believes, after a care
full study of the financial history OF
nations, that the first assumption, a
deprecated dollar, is correct, and
therefore, the proper premise from
which to argue. AS to whether such
dollar would aid the debtor, is a
matter that would depend upon his
ability to raise the money before his
creditor could force collection and
seize the property that secured the
Indebtedness. We are convinced
that the larger portion of the secured
debts of the country are past due
and that comparatively small mum
ber would be able to profit by the
cheapened standard. Again, the grea
moral question as to whether such {
method of paying an indebtedness,
would be honest, arises to plague tn,
mind of conscientious debtor. If
creditor is forced to take as paymen
less valuable consideration than h,
loaned, it is clearly evident that h,
has been defrauded by the new coin
age law. We do not believe TIN
average American debtor desires t.
pay less than he borrowed, nor tina
the great American nation is desirou
of being known among the nation
of the world as a repudiator of an,
portion of its public debt. If th'
second contention is true, and fre,
coinage means dollar of silver wortl
as much as our present dollar of gold
we fail to see how the debtor is to b,
benefited thereby. However, if this as
sumption is true, and the free silver
ties can demonstrate it, they will re
move the objections to their scheme
but at the same time will remove tn,

ZACH CHANDLER ON COINAGE.

Senator Zacharah Chandler on the last day of
his life as he about entering the valley of the
shadow of death, in his speech in Mccormick hail.
Chicago. Oct. 81, 1879, uttered these significant
words, which appeal to us with striking force to-
day:
But they say, There is one thing that we
know right and that is the free coinage
of silver Every who holds 50 cents worth
OF silver shall go to the treasury or the mnts OF
the United States and take a certificate of deposit
for 100 cents which shall pass as money. This

day the laborng man can take gold. or silver or
paDer, and they are all of equal value, because
they are interchangeable into each other. The
paper dollar costs almost nothing; silver dollar
costs the government S5 cents-a fraction more
now it has been a fraction less. But all three
of an equal value.

You are such a good rider I'll be
your horse said the Son of Ben Ali.
"tIe took the crutches, leaned them
against the door. and swung the Little
Master to his broad back, picking up
the crutches, and sore as he was, pre-
tended to be a horse We went toward
the big house.
eff you will notice, the stump Of the
big oak tree stands near the back
porch. Before the tree was killed by
fire a big limb stretched to the little
balcony above the porch. At least
it used to be so. The Little Master
showed this tree and the limb and the
balcony to the Son Of Ben Ali, and told
him that the big window that opened
on the balcony was in his room. And
he said to him:
Whenever at night you feel lonely
and tired climb these stairs and come
to my room. Many and many a night
! lie awake and count the stars. and
should like to have you there to talk
to me. You may come tonight if you
win
''The Son of Ben Ali stood a mo-
ment after he had placed the Little
Master on the steps and given him
his crutches.
&" Not tonight, not tonight, Little
Master But before long I'll come. To-
night l must go into the woods and
find me hiding place
$50 said the Son of Ben Ali, and then
he seized the Little Masters hand and
kissed it, bowed to the Young Mistress,
whistled for me, and went off into the
woods humming an old tune that made
me feel sorry"
At this point Rambler tried to
scratch between his shoulders, first
with one hind foot and then with the
other. Then he tried to bite the heas,
but he couldn't reach them, being old
and stiff and he sat and whined SO
pitifully that Aaron rubbed his back
with pine knot. This seemed to give
him great relief, so much so that, hear
ing the dogs barking in another part
of the lot, he ran out at the door 20
join them, and soon the deep mellow
sound of his voice was heard baying
with the rest
Shortly afterward the children babe
Aaron good night, and it wasn't long
before they were all in bed and sound
asleep

IN London. because Sir Julian
Pauncefote is required 10 attend the

deserves.
Ii has been proposed several times in
Canada to ask from the crown the APP
pointment Of special envoy to the
United States, who shall have nothing
to do but TO attend to the bust
ness Of Canada. Such an agent
would be received by the
president and recognized by
the department of state in the regular
manner, and it is believed that efforts
to secure the appointment of a con-
spicuous Canadian for this duty are
already in progress The envoy would
be selected and paid by the Dominion
government, but " ould bear a commits

made a public announcement OF
his views on the Canadian ques-
ton. His intimate friends are
utteranees it is inferred that he will
cheerfully meet the Canadians half
way in negotiations to promote the
/ friendship and commerce of the two
countries The chief questions Of con-
/ troversy between Canada aud the
/ United States are: Customs dues at

upon Canadian railways. which obtain
much of their traffic from the United
| States; the enlargement and control
/ of the waterways; the rights and
/ privileges of f sheries in both
/ the lakes and the ocean. and quarantine
/ regulations. The prime minister of
Canada has declared his willingness to
/
same pot" as Mr.. Blaine once sug-
gested, aud settle them together. He
is willing TO wipe out all the custom
houses on the border, to give Ameri-
can fishermen and Canadian fish
ermen the same rights and priv
| eleges, and grant the American
| capitalists concessions to improve the
canals and navigable channels
of the Canadian side of the border on
equal terms with the citizens of his
own country, provided that the gov
eminent of the United States will do
the same. In other words, Mr.. Lau-
rier would like to make the CONNER
cial relations between the United
States and Canada in all respects as
free as they are between the states of
this Union. This is what he means
when he uses the term CONNIE rcial
union, and if his scheme were carried
out the result would be equivalent to
commercial annexation.
