ing for a dishonest measure of the value
of their tolls on production. With these
the money question is supreme. 1t has
fired the hearts of men. 1t has touched
their imaginations and stirred their
blood, and it will sweep every other ques-
ton further to the rear If. the non-pro-
ducers, the dealers in money were sin
cere and united they would whip In the
fight. They have the most brains, the
most education, the better training and
all the money Aye, If they were sincere
and united they would already have the
fight whipped before the convention
meets.
But they are not sincere. When Mr..
Cleveland, at the demand of the money
dealers, called congress together and took
advantage of the panic to whip through
a bill of false pretense and falser promise
he did not utterly discredit himself, for
many men were charitable enough to
| think it was an honest mistake in judg-
ment. When he followed that by an at
tempt to substitute interest bearing
bonds for the greenbacks the thing be-
came so plain that he who ran could read.
But If there was little of sincerity there
was less of unity among the non-pro-
ducers. A large and growing minority of
plain and honest-minded men among
them washed their hands of 1t. They got
tired of the false pretense that the silver
scarce was responsible for the gold panic
every time a steamship left New York for
Liverpool and their consciences went
back on the hideousness of the
injustice of measuring their neighbors'
goods with a gold measure. Hundreds of
thousands of the non-producers, having
always been democrats, have never
strayed from the old faith and are ac-
lively with their fellow citizens of the
producing class. Hundreds of other
thousands who deserted without know
ing why, except that their business con-
nections in New York had "saunt the
word" are perfectly content to see the
old silver doctrine of their fathers and of
their own better days have it's way. If
they do not feel at liberty to help silver,
at least, for old acquaintance sake, they
won't obstruct.
Lastly and chiefly, gold cannot win be-
cause the fight for 1t is too sordid to
arouse lasting enthusiasm. There is an
utter absence of sentiment on that side.
The gold man does not even pretend that
he is animated by any desire to confer
benefit on anybody or to relieve the dis
tress of the poor. He simply stands with
his hands holding both his pockets tight,
pleading for the status quo lest worse be-
fall. Surely there are not many men out
side the rich and plethoric east who want
the status quo maintained.
Bimetallism Is a growing cause on this
side, growing in every country of Europe
and in England faster than any of them
The United States has no need to wait
She has but to lead and Europe will be
only too glad to follow

How a Child Innoculated Herself Will
the Tetanus Germ

How Child Innoculated Herself With
the Tetanus Germ.
Hartford Times.
The death of child in Brooklyn from
loekjaw, said to have been caused by
bacilll Of the disease which existed in the
soil of that region, calls attention again
to the peculiar danger of some portions of
Long Island, which has been mentioned at
intervals of several years. In this in
stance the child, a girl years DID,. had
been vaccinated. There is no reason to
suspect the purity of the vaccine matter
1t was used three weeks ago, and the
child was getting on well until, in playing
in the dust, she scratched the vaccinated
arm while her fingers were smeared with
clay.
As to the existence of tetanus bacilli in
: the soil, the evidence seems to be ample.
Health Commissioner Emery says the soil
is full of these bacilli, and that they
caused several deaths which followed
vaccination year ago. DR.. Mayne, who
attended the little girl, says: 1.-THE germs
of tetanus are in the air as well as In the
soil, but to breathe them is not necessa-
rily fatal. In the vicinity of the soHSh
shore of Long Island horses as well as
human beings, have fallen victims to the
bacilli. In the case of the little girl her
finger nails contained the germ, which,
when brought into contact with the SUI
perficial abrasion, at once innoculated her
system with the poison" Dr. West of the
Brooklyn department of health says the
existence of the germ of tetanus has been
noted for several years, more particularly
in the east and southern tiers of Long
Island. He adds: Suffolk county, be-
lieve, has the reputation of being the
most affected spot. In the past three
years in Brooklyn there has been an aver
age of nine fatalities from the work of
tetanus bacilli annually. The germ, when
exposed to the air soon succumbs When
1t attacks wound it burrows down deep,
for the purpose of keeping away from the
air.
