1t would seem by Republican papers

DEATH OF Ex.JuDaE BENJAMIN
PATTON.

The death of the venerable Judge
Benjamin Patton at his residence in
HicksviIle, o., on ednesday, in the
eighty eighth year OF his age, will recall
to the older members Of the bar his servi-
ces as common pleas Judge of this county
for more than ten years, extending from
1889 to 1S49. He succeeded Judge
Dallas, whose simple monument is
Landmark in Trinity churchyard. 1t
shows the growth of legal business in
this county that when Judge Patton
was on the bench he had to transact all
the business of the orphans court, OF
the quarter sessions and oyer and termi-
ner, and large amount of the common
pleas business, for which duties we have
now upward OF dozen judges. He
was succeeded by Judge Mcclure, who
was appointed by the governor in 1850,
but that year, by constitutional amend
ment, the judges were made elective and
Judge Mcclure was chosen at the first
judicial election in 1851. He served as
common pleas Judge until MS ueatn III
1861. Judge Patton had stirring life,
and came of noted ancestry. His grand
father was lieutenant under Washing
ton at Braddock's defeat, and his grand
uncle was signer Of the declaration OF
independence. In early life Judge Pat
ton served in the navy, practiced law
in Tennessee, was district-attorney for
Allegheny county and United States
attorney for the Western district OF
Pennsylvania. When appointed judge
in 1889 he was only % years of age, and
was the youngest judge that ever sat on
the bench in this State. He was close
to General Jackson, and for time acted
as his private secretary in the white
house. After he retired from the bench
he removed ultimately to Ohio, was
elected member OF the Ohio Legislature
an gained considerable celebrity in hi
old age as legislator He was great
sportsman, and enjoyed the rod and
line as long as he was able to go about
Altogether he was a splendid type of th'
old school gentleman.-Pittsburg Post

"In every kingdom into which money
begins to flow in greater abundance than
formerly, everything takes new face;
labor and industry gain life, the mer-
chant becomes more enterprising, the
manufacturer more diligent and skillful,
and even the farmer follo> his plow
with greater alacrity and attention. A
nation whose money decreases is actual
ly at the time weaker and more miser-
able than another nation which possesses
no more money, but is on the Increasing
hand. David Hume.
The above is from the writings of the
great Scotch philosopher and historian
of the last century He died in l776 at
the age of 65. These words we're true
when written and are equally true now.
Why then should not the production
and coinage of the precious metals, gold
and silver both, be encouraged? These,
remember, are money metals, and Mr..
Hume means such money and no other.
Bank paper promises are not money,
never were and never will be. Thomas
Jefferson wrote to Alexander Hamilton
in 1892, saying; 81 concur with you
that the unit must stand on both met
ais" In other words, Thomas Jefferson
was opposed to a. monopoly Of the
money function by either metal, and at
the same time was opposed to monopoly
of the money of the world by the own
ers of any one metal of the world.
Andrew Jackson was also opposed to a
monopoly of the money of the country,
and this is only done by the money
power controlling the government
through its tools and instruments.

John L Searles, treasurer of the sugar
trust, visited President-elect Mckinley
on the 7th inst, Mr.. Hanna arriving
after. Mr.. Searles is the most diploma

was for the purpose of getting man
for attorney general, Sho would not
prosecute the trusts. Their man is John
J. McCook, of New York. Messrs, Nc.
Kinley, Hanna and Searles had long
conference. 1t is claimed the first visit
of Mr.. Searls was failure, but the Sec
ond with Mr.. Hanna was more success
ful. When Henry o. Havemeyer, presi-
dent of the sugar trust, was before the
Senate committee in 1894, investigating
him for attempted bribery of Senators
to vote against the Wilson tariff bill, he
admitted good deal. On June 12, 1894,
Senator Allen put the questions and
Mr.. Havemeyer admitted that the
American Sugar Refining Co, was able to
control the price of sugar in the United
States and that that was the object in
forming the trust combine. Mr.. Have.
meyer told of the increase of the capital
stock from $5O,OOO,OOO to s75,0OO,OOO,
saying that the increase represented

A. Yes, sir.

in destroying by bringing them into the

WHY DISTURB THE TARIFF ?

Under present conditions the Ameri.
can people are curtaiing their purchases
abroad very considerably. Last year
the balance of trade in our favor was
1926, ,OO0,0 The Republican tariff
clamor is we must raise more revenue to
meet the expenses of the government.
These gentlemen do not clamor to have
expenditures cut down. They want an
excuse for higher tariff taxation. Addi'
tional revenue could be easily raised by
taxing beer and sugar little more. But
this would not suit certain cormorants.
There is no good reason for general
revision of the tariff law at this time.
President Eliot, Of Harvard University,
in speech few evenings ago at Bos'
ton, probably gave the correct version
cf the reasons that are inducing the Re-
publican leaders to commence period
of tariff tinkering and agitation when
he said
"The Republican party cannot afford
to have the present mongrel tariff ap
pear better than the Mckinley tariff, sc
they will have to change it in order to be
able to say when the business of the
country improves that it was theil
slightly changed tariff that did it,"
Bearing upon this question the Pitts
burg Post presents few points worthy
of considerations
81. The exports are Increasing anC
the imports decreasing This is particu
larly true of manufactured articles, anC
notably so OF iron and steel. We are ex
porting vastly more than we ever die
under the Mckinley law, while our i'm
ports are falling of.
"2, Last year the balance of trade il
our favor was, in round figures, 1926, coo,
600, a greater sum than ever before il
the history of the country. This is large

beating it. This shows that American
manufacturers do not need the coddling
OIL nigh protective duties, but that they
are an injury-as stated by the presi'
dent of the Midway iron and steel com.
pany of Philadelphia in protesting
against any increase of duties on iron
and steel at this time-in that they will
provoke retaliation by foreign countries,
and thus cripple our growing foreign
trade.
'Here is syllabus of conditions that

Indigestion is often taken for con-
sumption. The word consumption means
wasting away, and dyspeptics often
waste away as badly as consumptives
The reason people waste away is be-
cause either they don't get enough to
eat, or they don't digest what they do
eat,
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will
help you TO digest your food and stop
your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, barks and juices of fruit by the
well-known Shakers at Mount Lebanon,
1t possesses great tonic and digestive
powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many nysupposed consumptives (who were
really dyspeptics} by simply helping
their stomachs 10 digest their foud, thus
giving them nourishment and new

IMPROVING MEXICAN CITIES.

Mr. Charles L. Lummis, in describing
Mexico under Diaz in Harper's Maya
zine, says that the two things which
most impressed him were the 'tever OF
municipal improvement and the sheer
endemic of schools" "Even to one
familiar with the swift development OF
parts of our West or with the more con-
servative growth of the East" says Mr..
Lummis, lit is surprising to watch the
gait of almost every Mexican city in
municipal improvements. Modern water
works to replace the fine old Spanish
aaueducts; modern sewerage to replace
the street sinks of centuries; modern
liz hting, modern transit, modern health
departments; public buildings better
than our average towns of the like
population think they can afford; splen'
did prisons, markets, hospitals, asylums,
training schools-these are some of the
things the 'despotism' of Diaz is plant
ing through the length and breadth OF
the country. As for schools, 1t some
times made me smile, but ofterner turn
ed my eyes moist, to note the perfect
mania to have them-and to have them
of the best. Every State capital has its
free public model schools, on which II
layishes a wealth of love and moneys
and the State earnestly follows its lead.
There is now in Mexico no hamlet of loo
Indians, believe, which has not its free
public school. This summer (lS96) has
seen a radical change. Hitherto the
schools of the republic had been in
charge of the municipalities, the fedora
government aiding in their support
with about 81 100000 year. In July
the central government took direc
charge of every pull lie school in Mexico
