THE OLD FASHIONED DOLLAR
WRITTEN FOR THE RUSTIC.

Dedicated to Hon. r. p. Bland. of Missouri.
by Matte J. Stephenson. of Herndon. Fairfax
county, Virginia.
Tune-"The Old Oaken Bucket"
How dear to our heart is the old fashioned
dollar
The dollar of our daddies they all loved
SO we'll;
The old silver dollar, so pure in its color
How dearly we love 1t we scarcely can
tell.
The big silver dollar, the poor mans
dollar;
We love it for this and we love 1t for that /;
Oh, give US again the old silver dollar
Then with the world we can safely
combat.
Sweet memories cling round the old silver
And thoughts of the past fill our eyes
with tears.
So earnestly toiiing we sought to pos
sess it,
With our fathers and mothers through
many happy years.
The big silver dollar, the loor mans
dollar;
We love it for this aud we love It for that.
Oh, give to us the old silver dollar
Then with the world we can safely
combat.
oh, remonetize the old silver dollar,
And give it place side by side with the
gold;
The rich and the poor will have pleasures
untold.
The big silver dollar, the poor mans
dollar;
We love it for this and we love it for that.
Then with the world we can safely
combat,

If he can do this, and more, it is
likely he has sufficient education to
make his way in the world. If you
have more time and money to spend
upon him, all well and good.
The boy who is forced to go to
school ten or twelve years, and who is
unable to do the things enumerated
above, has been cheated. His diploma
from the grammar school is a cheat
and fraud, and his parents have
been shamefully defrauded. They have
been compelled to keep the boy in
school, to lose his services, and the
boys education is worthless at last.

How the Gold Standard Hurts.

How the Gold Standard Hurts.
From ex-ConRressman VIM. j. Bryans Kansas
City speech.
Mr.. Blaine said, in 1878: "Thc
destruction of SILVER as money and the
establishment of gold as the sole uni,
of value must have ruinous effect on
all forms of property, except lfose
investments which yield fixed return
in money. These would be enormously
enhanced IN value, and would gain Il
disproportionate and unfair advantage
over every other species of property. "
Mr.. Carlisle, speaking in 1878,
divided society into two classes, "the
idle holders of idle capital'', and s'the
struggling masses who create the
wealth and pay the taxes of the coun-
try" and he says that the secretary of
the treasury Gohn Sherman) would
coin as little money as possible,
because he was in sympaty with the
idle holuers of idle capital. That the
appreciatio. of money is a benefit to
the capitalislic class cannot be DIS
puted; that the gold standard will
make the dollar dearer cannot be
denied. Therefore the gold standard
IS benefit to the capitalistic class.
1t is just as certain that an appreciat-
ing dollar Injuries the producers of
wealth, and therefore the gold stand
ard does them harm. When we find
that the capItalistic classes are con-
stantly trying to force the gold stand
ard upon the world we must conclude
that they are looking out for their own
interests and are willing to disregard
not only the interests but the rights of
those who earn their bread by toll
An honest dollar is a dollar whose pur-
chasing power does not change.
A dollar which rises in value is as
dishonest as dollar which falls, and
the only reason why the gold dollar is
so well beloved by the capitalistic
class is because it rises in value, and
brings profit to those who own dol
lars rather than property. Those
whose sympathies are with the capital
istic class very naturally favor the gold
standard, while those whose sympa-
thies are with the masses of the
people must, when they understand the
subject, favor the restoration of silver
to its former position of standard
money. A mans sympathies are
shown by the standpoint from which
he argues the question.
The gold standard advocate is always
pointing out what an injustice depre-
preciating currency will bring to the
creditor class, showing that his sympa-
thies are with, are with and his care
for them. The bimetallist is always
pointing out the injustice done to the
debtor, and the wrong done to society
by a dollar which grows in value,
showing his sympathies are with the
masses rather than with the few who
belong to the capitalistic class.
The story of the man who gave his
child quarter to play with, and when
told that the child had swallowed the
quarter, replied that it did not make
any difference, because the quarter was
counterfeit, is good illustration of the
manner in which the gold standard
advocates think more of the value of
money to the money-holder than of the
interest of the people it Injuries when it
rises in value.

The report which is circulated around
the city that / have sold the right of
manufacturing my old brands of cigars
to Petritz & Steiger, especially ID. L. 3
and Anaconda cigars. is false. The rea-
son / withdrew from the firm of Tietjen,
Petritz & Steiger was simply because my
business ideas were so entirely different
from those Of Petritz that we saw tho
impossibilty of ever agreeing. When we
settled matters financially II was mutu-
ally understood that l should manufac-
ture cigars the same as before. 1t was
also agreed that I should take as much
of the stock of tobacco as my means
would allow and Petritz & Steiger keep
on manufacturing until the entire tobacco
stock was worked into cigars. Then the
honorable Mr.. Petritz made the remark
II do not know anything about the man
ufacturing of cigars and therefore want
worked up and then you can have your
entire business back again" The result
of this promise was when called for the
tobacco IL was fiatiy refused. Further
more. Petritz e. Steiger had written at
once to my boxmaker advising him not
to make any of my old brand of cigar
boxes for me. But the boxmaker thought
it better to ask my advice about 1t.
All this undetermined work kept me
back considerable. But as / have now
overcome all those little sneaking difficult
ties wish to announce to my old patrons
that i am manufacturing the ID. T. and
Anaconda cigars same as before, and bet
ter than anybody else can make them. A
trial will convince you of the fact. Re-

MADE A GREAT SUCCESS.
An Editor Who Knew Nothing About the
Business, but Made Money.


From the Grafton Record.
I was talking with a printer the
other day who worked for a number of
years at Pennington, Mimi. for a man
by the name of Squires. At one time
he had a partner by the name of Far
mer, the firm name being Farmer &,
Squires. One day when the press was
being loaded the 20" dropped out, and
the edition was run off before IL was
noticed. Farmer sold out the next day.
but IL was Fa&ner Squires' paper from
that out. He made a big success out
of the paper. although he didn't know a
four-pica lead from a two-revolution
Hoe. and he did not do ~ thing toward
running the paper except, make con-
tracts for foreign advertising-thatw was
his strong point; he got hay knives,
tanning mills. sewing machines, pile
drivers. washing machines for adver-
Using; he accepted all propositions, in
GLIDING patent medicine and scholar
ships. The printer had to do the rest;
he built the fires, set the type. got the
news, attended to the political and
moral end of the paper; smoked the
wedding cigars; chased over the coun-
try ON bay horse after subscribers,
took the blame and looked happy-and
the proprietor edited the trading end.
He traded farm machinery for cows,
hogs. hens. grain, wood, anything to
sell, eat or burn. Once he had an an
cry COW tied to the front door of the
printing office that he had traded a hay
rake for The COW tore the clothes al
most off the mayor of the town, who
rushed into the Office so mad that he
forgot to stop the paper, but he scared
the devil so bad that he stopped his
growth. Sometimes there would be an
auction at the office, and Squires would
stand on the bed of the FairhaVen
press and sell a lot of truck so there
would be room in the Office to get out
the paper, but he never got stuck on
anything and finally sold out for a big
figure on the strength of his profits,
which Quit with him.

A Wild GO0se'S Strange Nest.

The Revelstroke (Oregon) Mail state
that one day, as Anton Burgosen was
going to his work at Aliens brewery,
he saw flock of wild geese flying
overhead. The better to look at them,
he took off his hat, holding it out
stretched, and then, to his astonish-
ment, saw one goose drop in the cir
toward him. His vision being keen
he had not reached the brewery yet
indeed, had he, this would not be re-
lated as fact, for Allen beer is good
he saw something drop from the
goose like shot, straight for his hat,
and fall safely therein. The some
thing was an egg! A real egg!
The goose evidently saw the oppor-
tunity to deposit its egg in a safe
place, and gagged it to hair. Bur
gosen could not believe his eyes; yet
there was the egg, sure enough, and.
save for slight bruise at the upper
end, perfectly uninjured. The egg
and Anton are now at Aliens brewery,
and will verify this story. 1t is a
most astonishing thing, not heard of
moro than once in a lifetime.
