SILVER AND THE POOR MAN.
Cheap Money Disarranges All Business
Relations.

Cheap Money Disarranges All business
Relations.
Every crank who ventures to proselyte
| for free silver seems to think that the
poor man is his most promising game.
| The doctrine he presents is that more
money is needed that the poor man may
have plenty. He does not say how the
poor man is to get any more money,
which is the important thing, nor that
a cheap money is the one thing the poor
man can stand less ably than the rich
man. The poor man, the workingman,
or the farmer, are served only when
they have the best money obtainable.
Suppose for moment that free silver
should drive the gold dollar out of cir
culation. The first effect is on the poor
man. When he receives his weekly
wages it is paid in the cheap money.
He is the first loser. He can buy less
with it than with the higher priced
money, of course. If he happens to be
earning SIP week and the dollars are
cut down from gold basis to silver
basis he will get II dollars, worth pos
sibly 20 cents each, or $40, instead of
the value that prevails when the gold
standard is accepted. With cheap money
prices will go up. What he buys he will
have to pay more for. Manufacture
ers are not going to produce their wares
and sell them for the same number of
dollars when the dollars are worth less
money. The poor man will catch it in
both directions.
Cheap money disarranges all business
relations. There is no such thing as
one standard for one class and another
for another class. The talk of the debt
or's money and the creditors money is
bunko. Every man is debtor and cred
itor all the time. The worlxingman is
the creditor while he is earning his
wages, until he is paid. He is a debtor
Tor the few things he buys without pay
ing for when he gets them. AS he pays
cash for much of what he buys, and al
lows all his wages to stand until the
end of the week or month, he is a cred
itor more than he is a debtor. The cheap
money. which is to benefit the debtor,
would benefit the employer who owes
him wages, and who pays the wages in
the deprecated coin.
There is but one standard desirable.
and that is the best dollar that can be
made. The standard is now fixed at a
trifie more than % grains of pure gold.
The aim of the country is to keep all
other dollars, gold. silver or paper, up
to that standard and not debase or
cheaper any of them.-Pittsburgh
Times.

Washing Fine handkerchief.

Few laundresses wash fine embroid-

often they go to pieces in the wringer

OF the bank officers if the banks are un-
able to return as good money as they
received. They have loaned the banks
fundsoutat interest and. exceptfn cases
where officers have suspected the honest
intentions of their country and inserted
the gold clause in mortgages, the banks
themselves will have to accept depreci-
ated dollars in return for the full value
dollars loaned. They will, therefore,
have only cheap dollars to return to
their depositors. These depositors, then.
are the real creditor class of this coun-
try. Instead of being few and wealthy
there are over 10000, 600 of them hav-
ing deposits in all kinds of banks and
in building and loan associations, and
their average per capita deposits are
only $500. This country will not go to
a silver basis without the consent of a
large portion OF these depositors. II
they do vote to put it on a silver basis,
several millions of them will be kicking
themselves the next morning after they
find out what they have done.

in wheat, but an increase in corn of about
per cent, while the yield in oats is
about the same. 1t is estimated that the
value in these three cereals at the present
prices will be about s435, 900, 900 less than
II they could be sold at the prices current
year ago. What does this meanS The
plain English of it is that our farmers
are S435, 100000 worse off than last year
and will have that much less money to
spend owing to the fall in prices in these
three cereals This will curtail the de-
mand for manufactured goods So long
as prices of agricultural products continue
to fall, manufacturers cannot hope FOR in
creased demand for their products: and
without increased demand they cannot
successfully demand higher prices.

THE ADVOCATE Is RIGHT.

No Presidential candidate who took the
stump for himself has ever been elected.
-Tuscarawas Advocate.
Not quite correct. Garfield made several
speeches during his Presidential oam
paign in 1880. So did General Harrison
In 1888. Both were elected but Blaine,
who did more campaigning than either,
was defeated Cincinnati Times-S Star.
Neither Garfield noe Harrison could be
said to have stumped the country when
they were candidates. True, they made
a few speeches, In some important centers,
but their campaigning was very far from
hippodroming. The first man to expert
ment in hippodroming was Winfield Scott
in 1859, and the people appreciated his
oratory to such an extent that they gave
him but four states in the Union.
Stephen A. Douglas next tried the expert
ment in 1850, but there was no tomfoclery
in Douglass campaign, for he was a
good deal of an orator. Horatio Seymour
sought to convince the people in 1868 by
his superb eloquenoe, but like Scott and
Douglass he was defeated. Horace
Greeley shared the same fate In 1879.
Perhaps the most marvellous hippodrom
ing campaign was that of James G. Blaine
In 1884, and he was defeated.

II know Major Mckinley very we'll.

Upon the practical and pressing issues
Of the day he stands for all that Ameri-

We have heard Of General Slckles
before Il was he who was member Of
the Democratic national convention in
1899 and stated before that august body
that there were at least s5, 900 Democratic
soldiers in New York who would not sup
port Mr.. Cleveland and that he could not
possibly carry New York. But Mr..
Cleveland did carry New York by 45,
majority and the Democratic soldiers
were responsible for large part Of that
majority. II was he who during the
Grand Army enoampment at Washington
In the summer Of 1899, spoke disparag-
ing'y Of the Democratic candidate for
President and Justify lsuded President
Harrison with the express purpose Of
prejudioing the soldiers against the
national Democratic ticket. 1t was he
who left the Democratic convention four
years ago with sulky frown upon his
face and continued to keep up his warfare
upon the ticket until finally
placated by Tammany with seat in con-
gress. 1t Is nothing new, however, to
hear Of General sickles boiling, and we
are surprised that he waited so long after
the convention to do it.
