No clouds in the morning sky
The vapors hug the stream

In all this northern CLEAN?
AT every turn the naples burn
The quail is whistling free
The partridge whirs, and the frosted burrs
Are dropping for you and me.
Ho, billy no! heigh O!

In the clear October morning.
Along our path the woods are bold,
And glow with ripe desire;
Inc yellow chestnut showers its gold,
Inc sumacns spread their fire;
The breeZes feel crisp as steel!

And over the stubble tread

In one of his speeches on Wednesday Ma
jor Mckinley treated of the government
methods of getting money and of putting
it in circulation. Very vague ideas on this
subject prevail Many persons seem to
think the government obtains gold and sill
yer bullion by some sort of hocus-pocus.
coins it into money and puts 1t in circuIa-
ton on some pro rata or per capita plan
Nothing could he further from the truth.
The government can only raise money by
taxing the people It cannot get an ounce
of gold or silver without paying for it. and
can only put money in circulation in pay
ment of its obligations After pointing out
that the government could not create
money and could only get it by taxation
Major Mckinley said:
Now, how does the government distribute
this money? The government distributes
it's annual receipts under appropriations of
Congress to it's creditors. That is the way
the money of the government is distributed
1t is distributed to the army and the navy
for the pubic improvements. for rivers and
harbors, for the great postal service of the
country, for the expenses OF Congress, Tor
sustaining the Judiciary, to pay the princi-
pal and interest of the public debt and to
pay the pensions of soldiers and to the
other creditors of the government, and
there is no other way for the government
to distribute any money except to pay it to
the people to whom it owes money.
Everybody ought to understand this, but
a great many Bryanites evidently think
that under free silver money would be free
to all applicants If the government were
to establish a mint in every county seat in
the United States and coin silver on it's own
account it would have to tax the people to
raise money to buy the bullion with, and
then could only give it out in payment of
debts or contracts. Compulsory free silver
coinage would compel it to become a party
to a fraud by paying out 50-cent dollars.
for while the silver dollars coined would be-
long at first to the mine owners. they
would eventually find their way into the

NJ. S. W., Eaton: The revenues Of the
government during the fiscal year which
ended June 3d. 1894, were much less than
the previous year, because of the great
falling off in the imports and the tar1n
duties incident thereto. The volume of i'm
ported merchandise fell off because of the
general stagnation of business, due chiefly
to the certainty that the Democratic Con-
gress and President would change the pro-
tective tariff to one for revenue only. 1t
was known that all duties would be
cut down and that many articles would be
put upon the free list. AS soon as the
Democratic Congress met in December,
1S93 the work of tariff revision was begun
down Of duties With a prospect that the
duties would be changed several months
before they were, no importer would bring
in goods and pay duties ranging from 40
to rs per cent. when in a few months the
duties would be reduced one-half that
figure So imports were cut down from
$500 400, 462 during the fiscal year which
ended June 80, 1892 to 1886. 614, 420 during the
fiscal year which ended Jan. 80, 1893. The
dutiable goods imported during the first
year named were valued at 1855, 526, TAI, and
in the last at s257, 645, 7o3. The receipts of
the treasury from all sources during the
fiscal year which ended Jan. So 1893. were
s46i 716 562, against $373, SOP, 1913 during the
fiscal year which followed when the Demo-
cratic tariff policy had paralyzed business
and reduced Importation.

1t may be doubted If the Governor OF
large State ever SO far forgot himself as to
sharply criticise the leading merchants OF
a city, as mas Governor Matthews those of
Indiana for not decorating their places of
business in honor of the candidate of the
silver mine owners. The Governor seems
incapable of understanding that the mass
of business men regard the candidacy OF
Mr.. Bryan as disastrous to business. But
If the business men have displeased the
Governor, he may be assured that he, by
his narrow and reckless demagogy, has for
feited a large measure of respect which
they had for him 81 year ago.

Bit Bv a Rattlesnake,

Miss Cannon, young lady who WAS
working for Mr.. Geo. Nesplie, while pick
ing strawberries about o'clock yesterday,
was bitten by rattlesnake, says The
Dalles Chronicle. The snake struck her
in the hand, the fangs entering in two
places. AS quickly as possible her wrist
was bound to prevent circulation Of the
poison, and she WAS made to drink about
quart of whiskey. Dr. Hollister was
then summoned, who administered the
proper medical antidotes and cauterized
the wound. The young lady is all right
except for sickness OF the stomach, caused
by so much whiskey.
The wound of the rattlesnake is most
to be dreaded of all poiaonous reptiles or
insects in Oregon. The effect of the
poison is at once apparent on the action
of the heart, and without the admins
tering OF antidotes, will lead to state of
coma and death. Next in poisonous
effect is the sting OF scorpion, but the
variety here is by no means as death
dealing as that of the tropics, and no
instance of fatality has ever been re-
corded. 1t is proper to treat these wounds
at once with the best remedies available,
avoiding danger and suffering. Soda is
the most common antidote.
