of produce was quadrupled.. The
weight of debt and taxes insens-
IDLY wore off under the influence
of that prodigious increase. In
the renovation Of industry the
relations of society were changed
the weight Of feudalism cast off,
the rights of man established.
Among the many concurring
causes which conspired to bring
about the mighty contamination
the most important, though
hitherto the least observed, was
the discovery Of Mexico and Peru
If the circulating medium of the
globe had remained stationary,
or declining, as it was from 1915
to 1849, from the effects Of the
South American revolution and
from English legislation, the
necessary result must have been
that it would have become alto
gether inadequate to the wants
of man; and not only ~Wotlld in
dusty have been everywhere
cranlped, but theprice Of produce
would have universally and con-
stantlv fallen. Money would
have every day become more val
liable. all other articles measured
III money less so; debt and taxes
would have been constantly IN
creasing in weight and oppres-
sion. The fate which crushed
Rome in ancient, and has all but
crushed Great Britain in modern
times, would have been that OF
the whole family Of mankind.
All these evils have been entirely
obviated, and the opposite set OF
blessings introduced by the open
ing OF the great treasurers OF
Nature in California and Austral-
ia"
BY closing the 1nints to silver
onehalf the supply of our pre-
cious metals is denied the priv
lege Of serving the people in the
capacity Of the blood Of com
merce-monev. The influence OF
this policy is already felt. From
1873 up to 1896 silver enjoyed
limited coinage, but to-day the
minis are barred to it. Even
Senator Sherman in 1890, III a
speech in the Senate, produced
! figures to prove that the Amer
lean people, owing to increasing
population and development d
their resources, need an annual
addition to the circulating med
ium of the country Of at least
$54,OOO,OoO. Yet the treasury
sta tistics show that there is less
money in circulation4at the pres
ent time BY 15O,OOO,OOO thar
there was two years ago.
What method do the "sounc
money" men offer to increase the
circulating medium? None, ex

Is it not better sense, more
patriotic and more to our OWr
advantage to use TIE silver from
our own mountains as money
than to contine the confidence

A Lesson to the Road Hog.

There are smart alexis in the country
as we'll as IN town. Wherever they are
we like to see them get their deserts.
We clip the following incident from the
Portsmouth Blade:
George Dunbar, Ross county yap
who lives near Chillicothe, got dose in
police court at that place yesterday that
will probably make decent man of him,
while he is on the public highway at
least.
Last Sunday afternoon he was driving
home from town in an ugly frame Of
mind. He met Park Reed, of Chillicothe,
and Fred Tynes, of this city, short
distance out of town, on wheels. As
aimed an ugly blow at him with the butt
Tynes passed he had better luck, fetch.
ing Fred a sound whack on the head
with the heavy whip.
Mr.. Reed is State Consul of the L. A.
w, and he thought this would be as
good time as any to make an example
OF an Uninsured beast. He accordingly
had Dunbar arrested, and a telegram
from Reed to Tynes this morning con-
veyed the information that the two.
legged hog had been scslded to the tune
of $50 and costs.
Good enough for him. He would de.
serve the same penalty if he had struck
some one who was walking by the side
of the road Tostrikea man on a wheel,
where he runs the risk of killing or
crippling himself by falling, should earn
a man a term in the workhouse or the
penitentiary.
The Blade has often called attention
to the fact that bicycle is legitimate
vehicle. which the owner thereof has a
right to use on the public highway. He
also has right to share of the road,
the same as q buggy or a wagon. He
does not need as much of the road, but
he is entitled to an unmolested passage
way. When NANCY, i'll natured brutes
like Dunbar take the notion into their
heads that they own the road, the whim
is likely to cost them something,

The Ancient Myths.

The flrst volume Of Grote's Grssce
contains the best systematized account
Of the Ancient Myths to be found. II IL
the work Of scholar and thinker with
the pains taking care characteristic Of
the German mind. The ordinary books
on mythology, put into the hands Of
pupils in the public schools, are crude,
puerile, confusing and inaccurate. From
Hesiod, Homer, Herodotus, and laser,
from Virgil, the modern historian works

myths take different forms, but to the
student who desires to be informed,
know of no work equal to the first vol.
ume of Grote's Greece. And, as a work
of reference, it is invaluable. Mitford's
Greece was partisan, unfair and WAS de.
servedly condemned by Lord Macauley
in his essays. To Grote the palm of
truthfulness, liberality and candor has
been awarded. In referring to this work
you will not 90 amiss. 1t is seldom any.

For seventy.eight years (since the
year lSl6) wool was accorded protection
under all administrations. Never dur,
ing all that time, except certain kinds
of wool under the act of 1857, modifying
the Walker tariff of 1s46, has wool been
on the free list. From that date until
1884. under continuous policy, and
especially under the highly Protective
Tariffs of 1861 and 1867, our herds Of
sheep have increased from 100000
in 1916 to 5O,626,629 in 1884, and our
produt of wool from 100000 in 1916
to 300, 100000 pounds in 1884; and while
by reason of the reduction of the Tariff
rates on wool by the act of 1888, our
focks fell off in 1889 to 1859, 900 head,
they, under the stimulus of the increas.
ed rates of the Mckinley act of 1890,
had increased in 1898 to 47,273, ,533 head,
and go greatly had the character OF the
stock and it's capacity for producing
wool been increased that our 100000
sheep in 1898 produced oyer 64,OOO,OOO
pounds of wool more and OF an infinitely
superior quality, than did our $685..
626 head of sheep in 1884. During the
latter year the wool product of this
country was but 9OO,OOO,OOO pounds,
while in 1898 it was 1854, ,l56,99O pounds.
