that he will be elected goes without
saying.
The nominee for the Assembly, G.
Fl. Clark of Rhinelander, needs no
words of ours to introduce him to the
voters of Villas county. They all know
'sGid'' and know the stuff that he is
made of. Most of them knew him
when he was working in the woods
here and on the river. They also knew
him as sheriff and later as treasures of
Oneida comfy when we were a part of
it. In all of these positions, whether
in the woods. on the river or serving
the people as a county officer. he was
the same unassuming Gid" true to
his friends and square in all his deal
ings. He has taken the same qualities
into his business life and they will go
with him into the legislature. So far,
the Democrats have found no man to
run against him and they might as
we'll turn to and endorse him and SO
make his election unanimous as it is
bound to be pretty near that anyway.

From Daniel Websters speech in
New York, March Is, 1887:
He who hampers with the currency
robs labor of its bread. He panders,
indeed, to greedy capital, which is
keen sighted and may shift for itself,
but he beggars labor, which is honest,
unsuspecting and too busy with the
present to calculate for the future.
The prosperity Of the working classes
lives, moves and has it's being ip es-
tablished credit and steady medium
of payment. All sudden changes de-
strOy it. 81
Honest industry never comes in for
any part of the spoils in that scramble
which takes place when the currency
of q country is disordered. Did wild
schemes and projects ever benefit the
Industrious? Did violent fluctuations
ever do good 10 him who depends upon
his daily labor for his daily bread?
Certainly never. All these things
may crafty greediness for sudden
gain, or the rashness of daring specu-
lation, but they can bring nothing but
injury and distress to the homes of pa
tient industry and honest labor.

protection to American labor. He be-
lieves in and will work for that policy
which will open the mills and factories
of this country to American labor and
paid for in money worth one hundred
cents on dollar. He is an uncompro-
missing foe to that policy which has
closed our mills and factories, thrown
our workingnen out of employment,
reduced the wages of those who have
been fortunate enough to find some
thing to do, and now threatens to add
to the general distress and suffering of
the loboring men by cutting in two the
purchasing power of their already re-
duced wages. If you wish to return to
the prosperous times and good wages
of 1892, ii you believe with Mckinley,
that it is better to open the mills and
factories of the United States to the
labor of America than to open the
minis of the United States to the sill
yer of the world. if you believe that
the wage earners of this country are
entitled to good honest dollar in pay
ment for their labor and are opposed
to a continuance Of the present hard
times and further dehasement OF
American labor to the level of the Pc
on labor of Mexico, then you will cast
your vote for Hon. Alexander Stewart
of Wausau. His opponent stands for
that policy which has enabled nearly
eight hundred million of Canada lum-
Der to take the place of our own lum-
Der in the United States markets dur
ing the past year, while our own mills
have been shut down and our men out
of employment, because they could not
compete with the cheap stumpage of
Canada, and if you want a man to leg
islate in favor of Canada instead of
yourselves, he is the man to vote for.
On the other hand if you prefer to
have our own mills running and fur
nish you employment, you will vote
for Stewart.

of cash is interesting. About 200 B. c.
the Chinese were still using bronze
currency representing knives 2-5
inches long. with hole in one end of

were Z LIS inches long and the hole or

appeared and the ring was attached ia
the blade, which was increased in thick

OF and the ring was pierced with

knife money became a comparatively
convenient currency. though the value

of reduced size and inferior quality of

Of this immense gain to commerce
and civilization was lost when. after
awhile. monarchs began to abuse this

supplied only by the metals. These be-

HISTORY or MONEY.

Showing Kinds OF Money Used In DiRersns
Stages OF CivnsxAtle0s
study of the growth of money may
be useful just now in order to give q
more definite idea of exactly what
money is, and to learn why certain arti-
cles or substances have been discarded
and others retained. The natural and
general tendency well understood, we
have only to judge the future by past
experience to predict what will and
what will not be the principal money
metal of the near future.
Hunting and Fishing Stage.
The kind of money in use in many
countries indicates the degree Of civ
ilization attained. Man probably f1rst
became a trading animal in the hunting
and fishing stage. Weapons Of war and
the chase. together with skins and furs,
were then the most important kinds Of
property. Hence we find that the more
useful, stable and portable OF these
articles were first used as money and
are so used to-day in barbarous coun-
tries.
