turned the brow of the hill and STEP
ped toward brook which flowed at
it's base, the negro Ford crossed almost
in front of her. He spoke to her with
insulting words, and she picked up
stone to defend herself. but he grasped
her before she had opportunity of de-
tense. He was armed with pistol and
knife. He had his pistol already in
hand, but feared to fire lest the report
should bring aid to her, and, after
beating her in the head with it, as she
struggled with him, they both moved
down the slope. Ford, foiled in his
brutal purpose. dropped the pistol and
used the knife, cutting her throat. He
then hurried away toward the neigh
boring wood.
He was captured few days after at
Harper's Ferry, where he tried to
drown himself in the river. He con-
fessed his guilt at the time of his ar
rest, and, fearing he would be burned,
begged his captors to shoot him.

Export of Manufactured Articles:

ocraric party, 1.-THE value of the manu-
featured articles exported from this
country, during the now closing fiscal
year, exceeds that of those exported
last year, to the extent of about forty
million dollars The cause of the in
crease. of course, is the reduction in the
tariff on raw material, by which manu-
facturers in the United States are en-
a bled to compete on favorable terms
with their foreign rivals. But the re-
enactment of the Mckinley bill would
stop all this.

Impronpter Suggestions,


You must think while longer, boys,
Before you determine to go;
Your fathers locks are white with age
And his step is feeble and slow.
That dear, precious mother OF yours,
Who has loved you SO tenderly,
Oh, she is uOt so young now, boys,
Nor SO young aS:She used to be,
The silver threads are gath'ring in
Her treSSeS of bright raven hair,
Those wan and pallid cheeks you see,
Are furrowed with many care.
O think of the hayward ones, boys,
On the ocean OF life to-day.
They are drifting on the maddening foam,
They are drifting farther away.
Yes. we pity the parents. boys,
Whose lives wear the garments of gloom.
Because their sons were called to die
In the zenith Of manhOod'S bloom,
But all, for more we pity those
Whose sons have gone out on the main,
Gone out too far, too far, too far,
And will never come home again.
When you are far from the harbOr, boys,
And darkness envelOpS the sky,
Where will you fly for refuge, say?
For refuge, say, where Will you fly?
II you never have learned prayer,
But the one you knew when a child,
Let iJ go up above the storm
Above the storm-raging and Wild
"God bless father and mother, and
Baby sister, and Tom and me
o bless our neighborS and our friends,
And keep us all closer to Thee
Pray it over and over, boys,
And over and over again,
The little childrenss prayers, you know,
Are saving just thousands OF men.

LABOR IN ENGLAND.

The Ruined Condition of Agriculture I'm
der the Single Gold Standard.
Gold standard advocates very adroitiy
refrain from making any allusion to the
condition of the farming and laborinC
classes of England and other gold stand
crd countries. To tell the facts in the
case would he to strike the single gold
standard a crushing blow. The English
agricultural press gives a large amount
Of editorial space to dilating upon tie
ruined condition of agriculture" TIE
last issue of the Mark Lane Express, of
London, one of the oldest agricultural
papers in England, speaks in strong
terms, editorially, of schemes for allie
Waiting agricultural distress" Sir John
+. Gorst, of England, in his recent arti-
Gle in North American Review, says that
cher (England's) workers are going to
The wall" He, however, ascribes it TO
lack of education, but they are better
educated than the Mexicans, who are
enjoying a higher degree of prosperity
than the English workers.
Holding Mexico up as an example of
what the United States would be if she
were to go back to the bimetallic basis
IS manifestly such an unfair and dishon-
est comparison, that it is acting merely
as boomerang. In the first place, Mex
eco has the single silver standard, while
the contemplated change in the United
States is back to the double standard,
with the mints open to the unlimited
coinage of both metals at the present
ratio, both metals to be standard money
Bs they were for 81 years prior to 1873
No change is asked in regard to gold.
The minis are now open to the I'M
limited coinage of gold, and the de-
mand merely is that they be reopencd
to silver on equal terms with gold.
There is no silver basis about it, and
gold standard advocates know this.
They know as well as anybody that the
I.eople of this country are not asking for
either single silver or single gold
standard, but for bimetallism. But as a
matter of fact, the masses in silver
countries 5re better off than the masses
in the old gold standard nations like
Great Britain. The Rothschilds are
prosperous, but the farmers of England
ere tenants.-St. Louis Journal of Agri-
culture

NO CHEAP DOLLAR.
The Logical Conclusion of a Leading Ii

The Logical Conclusion of . Leading Line
of Goldite Argument.
The gold men have founded all their
arguments against the free coinage of
silver on the proposition that free sill
yer means a single silver standard.
They base this assumption upon the
workings of the Gresham law. This So
called law is but a statement of the
observed fact that when two kinds OF
money of unequal value are in circu-
lation the cheaper displaces the dearer.
You will see that in order for this law
to act we must have a cheap dollar and
a dear dollar. ask our goldbug friends
where the cheap dollar is coming from,
and he tells me that free coinage means
that the government will call so cents
worth of silver a dollar, and that these
5O-cent dollars would drive 5000, 000, eco
of gold out of circulation, and make
every dollar of our money worth but
so cents on the dollar. Let us take his
statement as true, and see what it's ef-
feet would be. Our circulation, accord
ing TO the treasury reports, is, in round
mum bers, 81 600. 100000. Driving out the
5000, 900, 600 in gold we have 81 ,OOO,0 00,-
900 left, but as this is in 5O-cent silver
dollars and their paper representatives
we find our stock of money has been re-
duced to $500, 100000. Free coinage
might in year add S5o,O00,0O0, making
our stock of money in circulation $780,
600, 900. Now, if the quantity of money
in circulation governs the purchasing
power of the dollar, the silver dollar
will purchase just three times as much
as it does now. Do you see what the
goldbug has cone? In trying to show
the disastrous effects of cheap dollar
his Gresham law has created soccer:
dollar that even the Rothschilds would
call honest.-J. E. Agnew, in Chicago
Record,

Contraction of the currency is a far
more distressing operation than the sem
ators suppose. Our own, and other ma
tions, have gone through that operation
before. 1t is not possible to take that
action without the sorest distress TO
every person, except the capitalist out
of debt, or the salaried officer or an
nuitant. It is a period of loss. danger,
lassitude of trade, fal! of wages, suspen-
sion of enterprise, bankruptcy and dis
aster. 1t means ruin to all dealers
whose debts are twice their business
capital, though one-third less than
their actual property. It means the
fall of all agricultural products, with
out any great reduction of taxes.-John
