The administration, speaking
through its most subservient organ, the
Washington Post, under the heading
of 'The Ohio Campaign" vigorously
opposes the introduction of national
issues in Ohio this fail. It brazenly
declares that no national issues are
involved. when, as a matter of fact,
everybody knows that the national is
suc involved in that campaign over
shadows all others. Mr.. Hanna. for
the Rothschilds party during all last
winter and spring was manipulating
state conventions to secure the cleo
ton of senators in the interest of Wall
and Lombard streets. He was ex-
tremely anxious, representing Mr.. Nc
kinley and his hackers, to secure con-
troll OF the senate and put that august
body in charge of q dictator, who
would act as n running mate with Mr..
Reed. He did not quite succeed, but
made more progress In two states at
least than persons ignorant Of the
Rothschilds pnwer would have regard
cd as possible. Mr.. Hanna, who rep
ressnts all that Is powerful in the
money combination which Is fast sub
jccting the masses to servitude, Is the
Republican candidate for United States
senator, and still his organ, the Wash

which is remarkable for two reasons,

NEW THEORY ABOUT FRUITS.

Chicago GaIen Maintains That Most Of
Them Are Highly Injurious.
From the Kansas City Journal: A
Chicago physician is responsible for
revolutionary theories in regard to
fruits. He undertakes to prove the
practical worthlessness as food of all
cultivated varieties. Hyper-acid fruits,
such as lemon, shaddock, orange, apple
and cherry, he aserts, should never be
eaten. Sub-acid fruits, such as the
grape, pear and peach, may be eaten,
but with extreme caution. Sweet
fruits, like the fig, banana and date, he
unqualifiedly commends, as they are
simply wild fruits, and have not been
changed from their natural conditions
or flavor by man. On the other hand,
the fruits he condemns, he says, are
forced or abnormal variations, as
shown when cultivated, and afterward
allowed to run wild. They Immediately
retrograde and assume the sour and in
edible qualities originally inherent in
them. Man, he claims, has not been
able to make proper food of them.
They are unnatural combinations OF
fruit elements, and are frequently
prone to cause digestive disturbances
when taken into the stomach. BY fore
ing seedlings, grating and assiduously
cultivating under artificial conditions
man has modified the progenitors of
our present domestic fruits; he has
made them acceptable to the palate, but

The little kingdom of Korea, whose

ocation of the war between Japan and
China, and whose king has recently
been under the guardianship of Russia
has passed under what is practically
a Joint protectorate of Japan and Rus
sia. The two governments have sign
ed an agreement by which each is to
station limited force of troops in ko'

Korea financial aid; Japan is to con-
troll the telegraph lines, except new
line to Seoul, which Russia is to build

We consider the silver standard a
blessing for this country. and we do
not prefer the gold standard for Mex
leo. We do, however, prefer it for
the United States, for the reason that
our interests and our welfare are now
bound up in this republic, and it is to
the interest of Mexico that the United
States continue on its present basis.
The advantage which otherwise might
accrue to that country now is COM
mencing to come to this. While the
cne is standing still, or retrogressing,
the other is forging ahead at a most
tremendous pace; and that progress,
though it might not be altogether
stopped, would receive a serious check
were the United States to make a
change in its monetary system.
We found our faith upon what ap-
pears to us to be substantial reasons.
We consider the silver standard a
blessing for Mexico, because
1t is furnishing currency which is
not constantly appreciating in value.
to the detriment of all other forms of
wealth.
1t is furnishing currency which
cannot be cornered, manipulated and
controlled by the few to the injury of
the many.
1t is enabling the producing classes
of the Republic to realize from their
products more than the cost of pro.
duction.
1t is setting in motion the wheels
of progress, and attracting to. this
country, by reason Of the immense
advantage afforded by the difference
in exchange the idle capital of the
gold standard countries.
1t is the main and paramount cause
in THE Awakening of the Nation:''
in enabling her to take on new life
and activity; in overcoming the eff
fccts of ages of oppression, strife and
turmoil; in taking her stand on an
equality with the nations of the mod
orn world; in short, it is the main
spring which is setting in motion the
other workings. And there are other

since the administration has not had
time to develop its plans. How, then.
can the Democrats attack national
propositions, which have not yet been
fIlly formulated, and how can the Re-
publicans defend what has not been e.
sailed? The people Of Ohio are not
voting, and could not if they would,
vote on any question involving either
party's national policy and platform.
There is no issue upon which the
Democrats can introduce the Chicago
declaration of last July-none upon
which the Republicans can appeal to
any record as to the fulfillmenr OF their
st. Louis promises. Next year, when
1t comes to electing congressman, and
when the Mckinley administration
will have had the opportunity to make
a showing before the country, the case
will be essentially different. To-day,
however, it is, as we say, state con-
test, pure and simple, with only do
mestic questions to be considered. The
party which puts up the best men
for the state offices, for the legislature,
and for the county places, will win the
fight. The party which depends for
victory upon an appeal to the issues Of
the campaign of 1896 will be defeated
and deservedly in either case.
In New York, where the people are
not well informed on the money Issue,
the Republicans want national lines
only. And they will get it. Tons of
silver literature are being sent into
New York every week.

The election Of Mr.. Mckinley did not
bring prosperity. On the contrary, so
far as the general policy Of the gov
ernment is concerned, there has been
no change. The depressing gloom oc-
casioned by contraction and falling
prices which gladdened the heart of Mr..
Cleveland continues in full force. But
while there has been no change in the
Cuban or financial policy Of the gov
ernment, there has been a marked
change in the personnel Of the presi-
dent and his cabinet.
President Mckinley is not afraid Of
the people, has discharged the army Of
detectives which guarded his predeces-
sor, and goes on the street himself and
mingles with the masses as any other
American citizen. This is great
change for the better The example is
valuable. The idea Of the president
Of the United States regarding him
self as at enmity with the people and
for self-protectlon hiding in the ex-
ecutive mansion, guarded by soldiers
and never venturing out without ella
borate preparation OF detectives and
armed men to shield him from danger,
exhibits the instincts of the despot and
revlves the memory Of the Neros and
Caligulas by initiating their practices.

Gold Exports.

A short time ago the gold press was
very exultant over the fact that the
drain of gold had ceased. Confidence
in the integrity of our monetary sys-
TEN having been restored, nobody
cared for gold"-it was asserted. In
No. of this journal the absurdity of
the contention was pointed out and
the prediction made that gold exports
and runs upon the treasury would be
resumed whenever the gold was need
ed elsewhere.
The verifcation came even sooner
than we expected it. The last week
in April gold exports began again and
in about two weeks the aggregate
reached nearly $12,OO00OO (more ex-
actly, $11,177, ,000). All, or nearly all,
OF it was taken from the United States
treasury. Habit not been that as the
result of bond issues there was about
$l55, 900 in the gold reserve, Wall
street would have been thrown into
cold sweat and every other financial
center in the country would have
been made to feel the pressure. AS
the advocates of silver restoration have
repeatedly shown, the whole gold
standard world is engaged in scram-
BILE for gold, the supply Of which is in
sufficient to go around. Japan has
now entered the market, and Is buying
Up gold for the change Of her none
tary system. Of course, she will take
1t rather gradually so as not to have
to pay too much for it. But no matter
view to keeping the nominal prem
ium down, the fact remains that each
additional demand for gold will force
up its value, that is, its purchasing
power, and tend to lower prices. And,
whether We have "silver craze" on,
and whether people have confidence
in the stability of our monetary sys-
TEN" or not, gold is bound to go
wherever there is the strongest de-
mand for it. If we keep it here it can
only be by paying more for it than
any other country will that wants It.
In other words, we must sell cur
products low enough to induce other
countries to either send gold here or
allow us to keep what we have. Hence
the gold standard and low prices are
absolutely inseparable. If we put
prices low enough, We can keep the
gold, otherwise it is impossible. Of
course, it will not and can not be go
ing out all of the time. When we let
our prices fall sufficiently to under
sell other countries gold exports will
be checked for while until they, in
turn, have adjusted themselves to the
lower-price level and then they will
begin again. 1t is the fact that the
movements are thus irregular and
spasmodic that enables the gold spec
ulators to deceive so many honest men
as to the true cause. The simple truth
is that the great commercial nations
are trying to do their business on a
gold basis, when there is not enough
gold for the purpose, without a con-
tinual lowering of prices.-NationaJ

of human nature, and often quotes the
fun and pathos of negro sayings from
whom he claims we can all learn much.
He is a devoted lover of his adopted
state and decants ably on its resources.
Mr.. Clark first won national fame at
the Tammany Hall celebration held IN
New York city July 4, 1893, on whlch
occasion he was one of the speakers
He is graduate of two colleges,an eX-
president of another, and is in touch
with the events of the day, hence his
language is always good, his worts we'll
chosen, and his wit, while caustic, neV-
er dsscends to the coarse or common
place. His sarcasm is as pungent as
paprico and as exhilarating as old port.
At the time of his famous Tammany
speech Mr.. Clark, although he had been
heard several times in the house, was
comparatively new to congress. This
splendid effort, however elevated him
at once to conspicuous place among
the most brilliant of his colleagues.
The speech was interpolated with pithy
anecdotes, eliciting round after round
of applause. AS an orator Mr.. CLARK
is eloquent, logical, humorous, at times
pathetic, and always magnetic. His
drollery is irresistible, and many Of his
most telling illustrations are drawn
from personal experiences. At the
same time he will, in the five minute
speeches" allotted to the members of
the house, quote choice extracts from
standard works of prose and verse, the
classics, anE from the Bible. An anus
ing incidenk occurred few weeks ago.
Mr.. Clark was treating the house to
a veritable oratorical feast,in the midst
of which he complimented the chair on
the quorum counting rule established
by the present speaker during the fif-
ty-third congress, then also presiding,
in these words: THAT quorum count
ing will form the corner stone Of the
speakers career" At this moment Mr..
Clark's time expired, and the speak
er's gavel fell at the phrase compli-
menting him. Mr.. Reed was unable
to contain himself, and the house
shouted itself hoarse at the amusing
coincidence. Mr.. Clark's life has al.
ways been busy one and his occupa-
tions varied. Beginning his active
career as a hired farm hand, he has
successfully been store porter, school
teacher, editor of country paper,
prosecuting attorney Of his own coun-
ty, member of the state legislature,
presidential elector, public lecturer and
now enjoys the highest honor his dis
trict can confer on him, the honor Of
representing its citizens In congress.
Mr.. Clarks domestic affiliations are pc
culiarly happy, his wife being proud
of her distinguished husband, and their
little son Bennett, who inherits his
fathers drollery, is almost as we'll
known on the floor of the house as Is
his father. Few men enjoy greater
popularity at home or In Washington
than tlo wit of the house"--the Hon
orable Champ Clark, of Missouri.
