Did You Ever Make Money Easy?

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have read how Mr..
G. 3. B. made 80 much money in the
Dish-washer business and think have
beat him. / am very young yet and
have had little experience in selling
goods, but have made over eight hun:
dred dollars in ten weeks selling
Dish-washers. 1t is simply wonderful
how easy it is to sell them. All you
have to do is to show the ladies how
they work and they cannot help but
buy one. For the benefit of others
will state that l got M start from the
Mound City Dish-washer Co., st.
Louis, Mo. Write to them and they
will send you full particulars.
I think I can clear over $1,000 the
coming year, and ! am not going to let
the opportunity pass. Try 1t and pub.
lish your success for the benefit OF
others. J.F.C.

ENGLAND,s BUNCO GAME.

If Europe should declare was
against America, 1t is evident that the
managers Of the European campaign
could do much to win the conflict fot
their side If they could. by one blow,
cripple q material interest Of para
mount Importance to America.
Without making war upon us, Great
Britain and the Latin Union, by
demonetizing silver, throttled one ol
the largest material interests oi
America as completely as II they had
conquered the country and put down
the silver by force of arms.
The official figures Of the production
OF silver since 1852 show this in a con-
vincing manner, These figures are
given, up to 1885, from the eleventh
census. Since 1885 they are to he
found in the report. Of the United
States Geological Survey, just issued.
From 1852 to 1885, inclusive, the
United States produced 81, ,32l, 900, 900
worth Of silver. During the same
period Mexico and South America
produced S1,446, 100000 of the same
metal. So that the Western Hemis-
phere produced together 81, 767 900, 600
worth VI silver.
In these thirty-three years Germany
and all other countries produced only
$3.50, 900, 600 worth Of silver altogether,
very little of this being produced by
British countries. It will be seen that
the total produced by the rest Of the
world is less than fourth of what was
produced by the United States, Mexico
and South America.
Australia and other British colonies,
however, were large gold producers.
It was not to the interest of Great
Britain to attack gold. That was a
material interest she found it desir-
able to uphold, and II possible double
in value. This could be done by pros
trating another great material interest
in which she had but an insignificant
share.
England had everything to gain and
nothing to lose by the demonetization
of silver. The United States had
everything to lose and nothing to gain.
1t was the biggest bunco game Of the
century, Post. Dispatch.

DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION.

The following circular letter explains
! itself:
INSTITUTION FOR THE EDUCATION OF
THE DEAF, JACKSON, MISS.
Mr.. Editor:-The next session Of this
school opens Wednesday,, October 7th.
There are q great many deaf persons in
Mississippi who are entitled to the
privileges The Legislature has 10 liber-
ally provided, and who are not taking
advantage of them. The reason Of this
generally is that they do not UNDER
stand that their children can be edu-
Gated free, practically. There is no
man in the State who Is SO poor but
his children can be educated here, and
given the knowledge Of a useful trade.
Will you please call the attention of
your many readers to these facts,
either by publishing this letter or some
reference to it, and urge those who
have deaf children to communicate
with me? We will admit any unedu-
Gated deaf person Of good moral char
acter, sound ir mind and body. who is
not too old to learn, and who is not too
young.
I will be glad if you will call the
special attention Of the teachers of the
public schools to this Institution, and
ask them TO interest themselves in
hunting up the uneducated deaf in
their different communities, and send
me the names and addresses Of their
parents.
We have two Institutions, about one
and half miles apart, for white and
colored.
Hoping that you can be instrumental
in getting some unfortunate deaf per-
son to school, l am
Yours very truly,

Superintendent.

The police co-operated with the teachers,

the crowd gradually ebDed away. But even

CANADA AT THE POLLS.
Sir Charles Tupper's Government
oVerthrOwn.

Toronto Ont, June 23.--The general
elections for the dominion parliament
took place throughout the dominion to-
day, and the contest was probably the
most hotly contested, and in some re-
spects the most bitter, in the history OF
Canada. The result is the complete over
throw of the conservative government led
~ Sir Charles Upper.
The vote at midnight stands: Liberals,
Ill; conservatives, 79; independents, s;
patrons, 4.
There are still eleven constituencies to
hear from, but it is conceded that Mr..
Laurier, the liberal leader, will, on the
assembling of the House, have clean
majority of forty-six, irrespective of the
independents and patrons. There was
much excitement throughout the country,
but the voting passed off quietly.
