THINK 1T OVER.
Some Points for Farmers to Carefully
Consider.

Some Points for Farmers to Carefully
Consider.
Farmers who think that free silver
will help them to get rid of their mort
cages should consider carefully what
effect a sixteen-to-one law will have on
the lenders of capital. The silverites are
telling you beautiful stories about the
great volume of money which will be
ready for loaning at low rates of inter-
est as soon as we adopt the silver stand
ard. But suppose the scheme should not
work in the way they expect? Suppose
that as soon as it becomes likely that
free-coinage law will be enacted there
is general demand that all mortgages
should at once be paid in full? The
promise of cheap money when free sill
yer comes won't help you now. Where
are you going to get the money to pay
off your mortgage? Do you suppose
any man is going to make loans while
there is a possibility of his being re-
paid in 50-cent dollars? And if you can't
raise the money when it is called for,
and if your farm is sold at @ sacrifice,
where will you be then?
Think these things over. Don't be
fooled by the free-silver idea that cheap
money means low rates of interest. The
facts are just the other way. Interest Is
far higher in all silver-using countries
than In gold countries. If we go on the
silver standard the men who have capt.
tai to lend will charge more interest
than they do now in order to cover the
risk of being repaid in deprecated sill
yer dollars. So, if you succeed in bor-
rowing under free coinage you will pay
higher interest on the loan. Ask any
body who knows the facts whether In
terest is not much higher in Mexico, In
dia or the silver South American coun-
tries than in the United States, Eng
land or Germany, with their currency
based ON gold. Then make up your mind
that you will vote for the financial sys-
tenn which if left undisturbed will ben
eft you far more than free silver will.

Oh, How They Hurt.

Neuralgia pains are often so acute,
that the poor sufferer becomes, almost,
frenzied with the intensity of the pain.
Salvation Oil will instantly relieve and
efectually cure neuralgia, so there
is no reason why a moments pain
should be endured. Mr.. Jacob Klein,
1896 Main St., Evansville, Ind, writes:
''My wife suffered from neuralgia for
seven years and since she used Saliva
ton Oil, she has not had a spell. I
think it is the best liniment I have ever
tried, and I would not be without
bottle Of it in the house. I had the
rheumatism for five years and had tried
a great many liniments, and must say
that Salvation Oil did me more good
than any other remedy" Salvation
Oil is sold everywhere for Is cents.

TRADE JOURNALS SUMMARY.
Various Ways in Which Money May Be
Ohto

Various Ways in Which Money May Be
Obtained.
To a man who has no money there are
several ways to get&it-namely:
(a) Beg it.
(b) Steal it.
(c) Borrow 1t.
(d) Secure 1t by gift.
(e) Trade something for 1t.
If we are to beg for it, we might just
as we'll do the best we can. Therefore
dollar based on a gold standard is better
than sixteen to one silver dollar,
which to-day is worth about SO cents in
trinsically.
If we are to steal it, we want the best.
A thief who would steal a silver dollar
in preference to a gold dollar would be
acquitted on the ground that he was in
sane.
If we borrow it, we want that kind of
money which will go farthest, for so we
can get along with a. smaller loan.
Therefore gold dollar is better to Dor
row than a sixteen to one silver dollsr.
If we are to secure it by gift, certainly
we should not depreciate that which we
are about to receive.
This brings us to the e, which is the
way most money is obtained. A peril
nent question for each of us to ask at
this time Is: What have got to trade
for money which I want? 1t may be
labor; it may be horse or cow; it may
be lumber or shingles; it may be saw
mill. At the present time we can trade
any of the above and get gold dollar
for every dollars worth of value, as may
be agreed upon between buyer and sell
er. We can get q dollar which is worth
dollar anywhere and everywhere.
Now, your labor or horse or COW or
lumber or machinery will be worth just
as much, or nearly as much, next year
as it is this, but If we have free coinage
at sixteen to one will the dollar which
you get III trade be worth as much as
the dollar you can get now? What will
that be worth? Can you tell? 1t may
be worth SO cents or more or less. One
day this, one day that, but can anyone
tell? These are all pertinent questions,
and, when carefully considered, must
guide us in voting at the next election in
November, and do not lose sight of the
fact that if all the silver in the world is
coined into money you cannot get a cent
of it except by a, b, 6, or e, above re-
ferred to.-Lumber Trade Journal.

Doub1e standard Maple Sugar.

The Mohawk valley was settled by
the Dutch, as your readers know.
When the country was new, Yankee
peddIers came through the settlements
and purchased the crop of maple sugar.
On one occasion a green Dutchman
sold Yankee his maple sugar far be-
low the market price, and his Deighbors
leased him for being deceived. He
said, in reply: ''You Wait and | will vix
him next year" The next spring ne
sold his crop of sugar to the same Kan
kee at the same price. When his neigh
bors rallied him, he said: 81 am no fool.
1 made the sap that sugar was made
from of half spring water" The green
Dutch farmer had just as much COM
mon sense as those cranks who assert
that so cents worth of silver and an
equal amount of water will make dol
lar worth 100 cents in gold at the pres
emit standard-N. Y. Sun.

Opera House last Friday evening to large
and interested audience. The lecture was

knowledge not only of the great novelist, but

The first OF the discourse was devoted to a
contrast of the writings of Dickens and
Thackeray; the latter catering to the aris-

while Dickens depicted the poor and lowly,
and humanity is the better for his writings
Passages from Dickens most familiar works
were admirably rendered, and the imper-
sonatons of some of the humorous charac-
tiers were capital, that of the fat boy causing
great merriment. The lecture was inter
