TWO MEE.4LS. NEEDED.

ing the state OF Massachusetts, IN q
recent speech in Congress, esti-
mated the entire indebtedness of
the United states. cities
counties, and banks of all kinds to
their depositors, the railroads and
other corporations, and the various
individuals of the country-at
S3l, Ass, 100000.
The entire gold of the whole
world is only s4,O00,00O,00O, so
that our various kinds of indebt-
edness is eight times all the gold
the world possesses.
The entire gold of the United
States in the United States Treas
ury, in all the state, city, aul coun-
ty treasures, in all the banks,
national, state, savings, and pri-
vate banks, and in the hands of
the people is estimated by the
officials of our treasury depart
ment at only about S6O0,000,0O0.
Thus, the debts owing by the
United States and the various
other debtors in the United States
are fifty times as much as all the
gold IN the United States, in who
soever hands it may be.
The yield of all the gold mines
in the United States is but about
s5O,O00,000 a year.
Thirty one billion and four hun
dred and eighty eight million dol
lars is the total amount of all our
debts, as estimated by Congress
man Walker, who is high author
ity on this subject, equals 600
years of all the production of, all
our gold mines.
The annual interest on S31, 1885,
C00,0OO, which is the amount of
our country's Indebtedness, at five
per cent q year is 1874, 100000.
This interest for one year is
equal to thirty years Of the total
production of all the gold mines
in the United States.
Silver and gold coin are equally
the money of the Constitution of
the United States. All of both
gold and silver that the mines Of
the United States, or that the
United States can obtain are need.
ed.
For want of money to meet their
obligations to depositors, banks in
different parts of the country are
daily suspending payments, rail-
roads are going into receivers
hands, manufacturers aud merch-
ants daily are failing, property of
all kinds is decreasing in value,
farming lands and farm products
are SO low that among agricultur-
alists the greatest distress prevails
and 100000 laborers of various
kinds are out Unemployment, many
of whom are suffering for the
necessaries of life, while robberies,
murders and suicides attest to the
dispairing condition Of our people.
All the interests of property,
labor and industry are tending to
a condition of universal bank
ruptcy and most pitiable distress
only because there is lack of the
requisite supply Of money to give
full employment to labor. and to
represent property values as they
should and might be represented.
The present estimated value Of
all the property of the United
States, is, it is true, twice the
amount Of all our debts, but that
property is liable for all these
debts first. The debtors half in
terest in the property subject to
the lien and first charge of the
creditor is very uncertain, and in
many instances worthless, with
money scarce and very hard and
often impossible to obtain.

IF YOU PLEASE.

When the Duke of Wellington
was sick the last thing he took was
a little tea. On bis servant hand
ing it to him in saucer, and ask
ing it be would have it, he replied:
eyes, if you please These were
his last words. How much kind.
ness and courtesy are expressed by
them! He who had commanded
the greatest armies in Europe and
had long used the throne of au>
thority, did not despise or over
look the small courtesies of life.
All. how many boys do! What a
rude tone of command they often
use to their little brothers and sls-
ters, and sometimes to their moth
ers ! This is iIIbred and un-Chris-
tian, and shows coarse nature
and a hard heart. Don't forget
three little words, "H you please"

The Queen Butter Maker is unlike any
device that has ever been invented for
churning. At the bottom of the large
tub is a screw propeller modelled exactly
like the large screw propeller used on
the large ocean steamer. The gearing
allows 800 revolutions in a minute, and
agitates the cream a thousand times
more strongly than the ordinary old
fashioned dasher Churn. This immense
agitation causes the tissues to break in
stantly, and the butter is made. From
a scientific point of view, the butter
must come gathered in a few minutes.
The Queen" is thorough practical
machine for making butter in few min
utes, and more butter is made Experts
in butter making say that they have
tested the Queen" over and over again,
and pronounce it wonder, that it is
thoroughly practical, does just what is
claimed for it, and that the grain of
the butter Is finer, and 1t is easily cleaned
and very simple in construction.
Experienced canvassers state "they
never seen anything sell like the Queen
they make easily from $45 to $100
week." A widow lady, Mrs. Byers, in
Mississippi, with three children to care
for, who had never sold anything before,
states, "she made $3.50 a day in addition
to taking care of her family"
Merrill Cline, of New York, finds "that
hard times or no hard times, when he
makes butter in two minutes before a
farmers wife, the handle of the old
dasher lifts heavier than ever, and they
hustle around and get the price Of the
Queen somehow" Mr.. Burt, of Ohio,
said "he always draws a crowd when
he makes butter with the Queen and
people never tire Of seeing the wonder
over and over"
CHURNED BEFORE TEN AND SOLD
TEN.
The Queen Butter Maker which you
sent me was received last Saturday July
17th) all o. X. and have tested it last
night and had ten farmers by my side
at the time. put in 111S gallons Of good,
sour cream, and the cream registered 81
and to our surprise had butter in 315
think that was good for my
first experience. Testing the butter we
found it was harder and more bulky and
more to the gallon. 1 made sale to
each one of the farmers for the No. 2
ten-gallon. O. H. SHENK.
Kready, Lancaster Co., Pa.
Why not take hold of the wonderful
Queen Butter Maker take an agency
and go into the churn business? The
"Queen" is the hottest seller on the
market at present, and more money can
be made right now introducing 1t than
In any other business. Some agents are
making as high as $500 month. Every
woman who makes butter, when she
sees the "Queen" turn out butter like
magic in one or two minutes, will have
one. Whether you are an experienced
or not, send and obtain a
pricelist and get into the very
best business of your life. Money and
lots Of it, can be made right now.

WOULD REVOLUTIONIZE SCIENCE
No Toad Has Ever Been Found In
closed in Solid Rock

Stories Of toads inclosed in solid rock
are not all uncommon, but of all the
reported cases not one has ever been
substantiated. When investigated it Is
found that they are made-up stories or
there was no toad or no rock or there was
way for him to get in or out. People
who find toads in solid rock must under
stand that it is an important matter.
If ever there is one single case verified
beyond dispute of finding a toad or any
other living animal in an absolutely solid
rock the science of geology will be swept
from the realms of belief. The doctrine
of evolution will crumble to airy moth
ings. Half of the exact sciences will have
to be reorganized on an entirely new ba-
sis. Accumulated human knowledge
will have to be revised from the bottom
and most of what Is SO called rejected
entirely. So the man who finds the
toad had better be pretty sure that it
Is toad in a solid rock. and while he
is about it he had better have witnesses
and photographs and everything possi-
BILE to be had in proof of his assertion,
for 1t will be doubted. If he proves his
case no man ever known will have such
enduring fame. Just find the toad, gen.
