We are sometimes met with the
statement that the "Pops" never
favored silver before until this year.
The Monitor-Press ought to be
taken as good authority on this, and
Ne quote from its issue of Now, "a,
1892 as follows:
The election of Cleveland sends the
prospect Of flee silver glimmering up
the golden stairs for four long years,
which is equivalent to putting it to
sleep for good and all. The Peoples

Its bosom, will along with its pet

1.-THE great reduction of debts all
ever the United Stated by a rise Of
silver would give tine farming and
producing classes generally a sense Of
freedom and prosperity which they
have not had for many years. and
would probably give a great stimulus
to protection. If silver did not rise
much for while, American wheat,
cotton, pork, ETC., would compete
with the produce Of other countries
at very great advantage and there
would probably be very rapid and
great growth Of exports and the be-
ginning Of an era Of great prosperity.
ION the other hand the leading and
creditor classes would suffer, and their
losses would not effect production to
anything like the same extent as the
gains Of the debtors and producers
would do. Further, there would be
very serious fall In securities, which
would injure capitalists both in the
United States and in Europe"
This was printed in the Statist in
its issue Of February 2, 1895. At
that time it was the laborer and pro-
drcer who was going to be bene-
fitted by silver legislation, and the
capitalist who would be injured. In
these latter days the capitalist steps

A Pretty Experiment.

Take a common tumbler, partly fill it
with clear water and place upon its
surface some pieces of gum camphor
Immediately they will begin to swim
around the water, and if the camphor be
lighted they will look like balls of fire
floating upon the water. Put few
drops of oil (of any kind) into the water,
and the camphor will cease moving at
once. And while you have the camphor
at hand put little in clear bottle,
cork it and place it in the sun for a few
hours. Then you will notice beautiful,
white. silky needles begin to appear
around the neck Of the bottle, which
are so delicate and fragile in appearance
that you would hardly think they could
hold together.

Denotes Bloodshed.


On the outspread wings of the II

popular superstition that the letter "
means war.
In 1894 these locusts appeared and
marched across the country on sweep

previous, III 1860, the locust was with
us again, and 1860 was the year before
the civil war. III 1913 the locust again
cast itself upon the nation, and the
Mexican war occurred one year after.
Back Of this few remember whether
the locust was on hand or not, but if
there is any logical pertinency in his
name he should have come in 1853,
which brings us to grand epoch in the

and the independence of all the South
