The City on the Maumee for Lancaster
Lasses. Della Browns Nup-
tials of Over Month Ago,
Leaked out Friday.

Lancaster Eagle
Hereafter Miss Della Brown
must be known as Mrs. Alferd O.
Rogers. 1t comes about like this:
Girls will wed, you know, and the
prettier and more charming The
lass. and the more we desire TO
keep them from it, the surer they
are to marry. However much we
desire to keep them with us to re-
fresh US with their merry girlish
wit and laughter and beam upon
us bewitching smiles Of mirth and
sunshine. Miss Brown was always
one Of tho sort of girls that every
body liked and now that we come
to think over it we are not sprpris-
ed that she married, but this little
announcement will be the first in
formation her many friends here
will have on the subject and the
surprise will be complete.
Like most charming girls Miss
Brown was fond of romance and
thinking to surprise her friends
here, on the 28th of June last t,while
her betrothed, Mr.. Alferd 0. Rog
ers, a popular young photographer
of Lebanon, o., was In Lancaster,
they planned a visit to Miss Browns
mother, Mrs. Charles Barks in To-
ledo, and while there ON June 30th
a license was procured and the
happy pair mado one by Rev, Ken
nedy, pastor Of the Detroit avenue
M. e. church at 1880 O'clock p. M,
with only the members of her
mothers family present.
The popular young couple will
reside permanently in Toledo
where they will be delighted to
meet their Lancaster friends at
any time.
This is the second Lancaster girl
that has been carried away to the
city on the Maumee aud married
within a few months. The Gretna
Green of Kentucky has rival in
Toledo for Lancaster lasses.
Its all over now, so the Eagle
adds its blessing.

The Democrats Of Ohio In convention as.
sembled reafIirm and lndorse the doclara-
tion OF principles contained in the platform
adopted by The democratic party In national
convention at Chicago in 1896, which plat
form declares the money question para
mount to ali others 1T this timo, ana Is as
follows:
We invite attention to the fact that the
constitution names silver and gold together
as the money metals OF the United States,
ard that the first coinage law passed by
congress under the constitution made the
silver dollar the money unit, and admitted
gold TO free coinage at ratio based upon
the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act OF 1873. demono-
tizing silver without the knowledge or ap-
proyal Of the American people has resulted
in the appreciation of gold, and a corre-
spending fall In the prices of commodities
produced by the people; q heavy Increase
In the burden OF tanHtion and of oil debts,
public and private; the enrichment OF the
monoy-leuding class at home and abroad,
the prostration Of industry, and impoyer-
lshment of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to mono
metallism, which has locked fast the pros
perty of On Industrial people In the par
alysis OF hard times. Gold mono-metallism
is british policy, and Its adoption has
brought other nations into financial servi-
tude to London. 1t is not only un-Amerl-
can, but anti-American, and 1t can be fas-
tened on the United States only by the
stl1ing of that spirit Of love OF liberty
which proclaimed our political independence
In 177G and won 1t In the war of the reyolu-
tlOn
We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold at the present
ratio Of 10 to /, without waiting for the aid
or consent Of any other nation. We demand
that the standard silver dollar shall be O
full legal tender, equally with gold, for oil
debts, public and private, and we favor
such legislation as Will prevent for the fu-
ture the demonetizaton OF any kind Of legal
tender money by private contract.
We are opposed TO the policy and prectice
OF surrcnderng to the holders of the obliga-
tlons Of the United States the o/tlon re-
served by law TO the government Of re.
deeming srch obligations In either silver
or gold coin.
We are opposed to the Issuing Of interest.
bearing bonds of the United States In time
OF pence and condemn the trafficking with
banking syndlcates which, In exchange for
bonds at an enormous profit to themselves,
supply the federal treasury with gold to
maintain the policy of monometall!sm.
Congress alone has the power to coin and
Issue money and President Jackson de-
clared that this power could not be dele
gated to corporations or individuals. We
therefore denounce the Issuance of notes
intended to circulate ns money by national
banks as in derogation OF the constitution.
end VIC demand that all paper which Il
made legal tender for public and private
debts or which Is receivable for duties to
the United States, shnll be Issued by the
government of the United States and shall
be redeem0ble In coin.

Acetylene Gas.

We are now prepared to place on
the market our machines for gen
Grating Acetylene Gas. These ma
chimes are adapted for lighting
stores, factories, churches and pri-
vate residences. Small towns and
farmers can now have gas as well
AS those in cities, as each consumer
controls his own little gas plant,
which is quite inexpensive. We
guarantee to furnish six times as
much light at less than half the eX-
pense Of ordinary gas, electric
lights or kerosene lamps. a first
class agent Is wanted in every
county to sell our machines.

Unnna's Pie,

Congress has passed bill appro-
priating S2,500,0OO for the erection of
q public building ait Cleveland. 1t is
such extravaganza as this that bred
the feeling among the masses that they
are unnecessarily oppressed, that their
rulers may "dress in purple and fine
linen and fare sumptuously every day."
There is no necessity whatever for
new government building ut Cleveland.
TIL present building is good enough
and handsome enough to last many
years yet. But Mark Hanna's local
pride must be gratified even though
the country goes into bankruptcy and
the people are impoverished. Hanna
stands so close to Mckinley that the
senators and members Of congress feel
that they must open his behests If
they are to get taste of Mckinley pie.
It is no wonderthat there is feeling
of unrest and murmuring of discon-
tent among the people when their
money is squandered in this reckless
manner.-Newark Daily Sun.

Should be Given a Sugar Tit.


A southwestern man wants a
divorce because his wife has the
buttermilk habit. She drinks but
termilk, he says, until it nauseates
him. She absorbs it at each meal
and once before retiring. He claims
that her daily capacity is one gal
Ion, and that ii permeates the very
air. He doesn't show that it spoils
her temper, or unfits her for house
wifely duties. His only claim is
that it is disagreeablc to his sensi.
tive nature. 1t looks AS ii the south
western man had II very poor case.
II hi5 wife had the onion habit, or
the limburger habit, or even the
Welsh rTebithabit it would be diff
erent, but he can excite no synpa-
thy with plean. In fact, his cru.
sade against it shows him to be
good deal Of spoiled calf.

A3 CENT DOLLARS
What They Will Do. Their
Purchasing Power.
An Object Lesson That Some Of The
Gold Standard Advocates With
Patches on the seat of Their Pants,
Should Study.

Enquirer.
The silver in q silver dollar is
worth exactly the same as the gold
in gold dollar, although the silver
not in silver dollars is not worth as
much as the gold not yet coined. If
a man owned million dollars TO
J. Pierpont Morgan, of New York,
he could pay him in silver dollars,
because they are legal tender in
debts. Mr.. Morgan would, of
course, prefer silver certificates TO
the silver dollars, and the debtor
would accommodate him, for the
Government issues those certifi-
Gates to any owner of silver dollars
in exchange no matter how large
the amount. Mr.. Morgan would
not deduct a dollar from the debt
if the debtor would pay him in
gold, because he knows that the
silver dollar and the gold dollar are
of equal value. There is not a
fifty-cent dollar, nor a forty.three-
cent dollar, nor ninety-nine-cent
dollar in the United States, al
though there are about 440,000,000
of one-hundred-cent silver dollars
Included in the volume of the
nations currency.
The Government owns a large
amount Of silver bullion; and every
month it coins some of it into dol
lars weighing 4l29 grains Of stand
ard silver each. AS silver in bullion
form is worth much less than in
the form OF dollars, the Govern
ment makes the difference. That
Is to say, the silver which goes in
to each silver dollar is worth only
foriy-three cents as bullion, but
when coined into full legal tender
silver dollar it is worth exactly one
hundred cents.
When a man pays his subscrip-
tion to the New York gold-stand-
ard papers they receive silver dol
lars or silver certificates at par, and
If he pays them in gold they make
no deduction. How is this? Why
do they take silver dollars if they
are worth only 43 cents, as we are
daily told Is the case? The reason
is that they know the difference
between legal tender dollar and
the material of which it is made.
They want the dollars to use as
money and not to be melted up and
sold as bullion to silver-smiths for
the manufacture of spoons or other
silyerware. They know that If
they melt their silver dollars they
will only get So cents, an ounce for
them to-day, while in the form of
dollars they are worth l29 cents an
ounce. Not goldbug of them all
will dare TO controvert one of these
statements.
Aud yet we are told that because
