'.In every village mentioned is a
company store. There are found only
evidences of prosperity. Clerks aud
proprietors, who from June until 0cto-
ber were absent, are again behind their
counters redeemiug the orders and fat

Practically government money is un-
known. A scrip is the currency of all
these mining communities. Contrary
to statute, these certificates OF indebt-
edness are made to resemble the na-
tional currency, are numbered aud
stamped as if they emanated from the
Treasury at Washington.
"a contest for sound money, indeed!
This 'toady,' as it is called. is worth
its face nowhere but at the store of the
company that issues it. At such pla-
ces the prices of dry goods aud grocer
les are higher than elsewhere. At all
other stores. the hotels and saloons, u
discount of 20 per cent. is made on all
such money. The toiling workman
after four or FIVE days in the darkness
OF the mines, receives his 81 to IS in
these greasy shin plasters. His rent
is Sc to $40 per month. and nowhere
is credit given him beyond one week.
Even his glass of beer is drawn with
more froth than liquid If he presents
'toady' in payment.
This object lesson of how the So
called "sound money" howlers carry
out their promises to the laboring man
will hardly be lost on the sons OF toll.
IL will be remembered how. just right
after McKinley's election, these none
tary bunco steerers paraded their in
tention to make gold basis something
more than a myth by paying off sala-
ries and wages in some of the large
cities and in railroad and factory towns
in gold. They made just that one pay
ment in the yellow metal and no more.
Wage-earners are glad enough to get
their wages in silver, greenbacks, sill
yer certificates, or bank notes. 1t is
atrocious thievery to pay them in COM
pany store scrip. Yet with few more
years of McHannaism the Ohio method
of paying laborers with ''toady" is
liable to be extended into all the States
controlled by the Republicans.-K. c.

The Passing of a Patriot.

I The death of Henry George, the can
didate of the Jefersonian Democrats
for Mayor of Greater New York, re-
moves one of Americas greatest men
from the stage of action. Mr.. George
was a fearless advocate of the rights of
the common people. His views upon
the question of taxation and land laws.
while understood By political econo-
mists, are not so widely understood by
the common people. Mr.. George be-
Iieved that if few men could own the
land of the earth that ownership would
carry the people with it as a necessary
adjunct. He thought that land should
be taxed alone, and not the improve
ments placed upon it-in other words,
that a man should not be fined for i'm
proving his farm. He believed that
that value which the whole people con-
tributes to the real estate of the coun-
try should belong to no individual, but
to the State, and be collected by the
tax gatherer. In substance his theory
was this: that if John Smith should go
into the wilderness and take up a
square mile of land and John Brown
should follow him, Brown would nat
urally want to be near Smith for COM
panionship, and would take up land as
near as possible to him. When Jones,
Green and Thompson should immigrate
to the same section, they would be will
ling to pay something for the land that
their predecessors had taken up and
were not using, for the sake of the con-
veniences of society. This value be-
longing to the unused land, George
claimed, was created by society and
should accrue to society alone, and
that if collected would pay the entire
expense of government and at the same
time would prevent all rent of land.
Under such circumstances no man
could afford to hold more land than he
could use, all rent accruing to the
State.
Mr.. Georges whole life was spent in
fighting monopoly and greed. He was
a man without fear and without blem-
ish. He had personal friends IN all
ranks of life. Those opposed to him
had high regard for his inmate hon
esty and lncorruptibility. In 1886 he
came near defeating Hewitt CTammany
Hall Democrat, one of the loudest of
Cleveland's flock of Cuckoos) for Mayor
of New York City. Had Mr.. George
lived and won the present fight, he
would have made Greater New York a
mayor of which that municipality would
have been proud. He stood squarely
on the Chicago platform. Personally,
he believed that free coinage would
prove palliative, and that the evils
now afflicting society will never be re-
moved until monopoly in land is re-
moved; but he believed that doctrine
step in the right direction and voted
for its candidates.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Jan 1.-THE stock market
to-day was for the most part extremely
narrow and professional but with one or
two exceptions the tone was firm and
the movement Of prices upward. There
was little news Of general Importance
but the traders appeared to favor the
long side. Higher London prices for
American securities and buying for that
account here, and the charging invest
ment inquiry induced by the steady pill
ing up OF idle money, were partly instru-
mental in causing the bulls to force cover
ing by the shorts in number of the
specialties. In some stocks Of this class
also, there was continued liquidation, but
the declines were confined to the particu-
lar properties involved. Dealings in the
Railway shares were on a trifiing scale,
and, aside from Manhattan, Wheeling
and Lake Erie and Long Island, the fuct-
nations were fractional The first named
rose u per cent. on covering. In Wheel
ing and Lake Erie, however, continped
weakness was displayed, the common
declined ] and the preferred 5 per cent.
In the last hour the general market
was more spirited than at any time in
the day. The closing was trong at the
top level, with comparative figures show
ing sharp fractional net gains.
The bond market continued to adj
vance on increased and well distributed
dealings. The inquiry for gilt-edge issues
is very good with the offerings light. The
sales were $1,596,000

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
a Michigan Man Of RS to Send his
Discovery Free.
Claims to be Berefactor to Weak
ened Mankind.

There il always more or less suspicion
attached To ANYTHING that is offered free
hut somtlmes a man so oTerhoWs with
.eoeros;tv that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world. in order
tbat his fellow men may profit by what
no has discovered. 1t is upon this prin-
cinal that resident of Kalamazoo,
Mich. desires to send free TO mankind
PRESCRIPTION which viii cure them OF any
forr, of nervous debility; relieves them
Of all the doubt and uncertainty whlch
.uch men are peculiarly liable to and
restores the organs to natural size anu
v;gor. As it costs nothing to try the
experiment it would seem that any man,
.ufferens with the nervous troubles that
usually attack men who never stopped TO
realize what might be the final result,
oupht to be deeply interested in remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which they
continue to live and existence or untold
misery. As the remedy in question was
the result of many years research as to
what combination would be peculiarly
effective in restoring to men the strength
they need. it would seem that all men
auffering with any form Of nervous weak
ness ought to write for such remedy
at once. A request to III. O. Odds, Box
1905. Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription out
of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use of the medicine by giving 1T
a trial, will be answered promptly and
without evidence as to where informa-
ton came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Gut this out and send to Mr.
Odds 80 that he may know how you came
to write him.

CAUGHT AT LAST.
Amos Minor, a Former South Side
Resident, Brought Here From Proc
tor to Answer Charge of Getting a
Horse Under False Pretense.

At two o'clock to-day, in Squire Hab-
erfield's court, Mmos Minor a former
Eighth ward citizen, will be compelled
to face the charge of obtaining a
horse under false pretenses. The Of
Tense is alleged to have been commit
ted in July. Minor, who formerly lived
on the South Side, and was employed as
a teamster, is charged with having got
ten horse from S. A. Martin, a we'll
known junk dealer. He represented
to Martin that he had a contract with
the LaBelle company to haul wood for
them and would pay Martin $50 for the
horse in installments.
Soon after this he left town, taking
the horse with him. He was located
at Proctor, down the river, and Con-
stable Wilcox made couple of trips
to get him, but Minor always learned
of the constable's approach and kept
out of his way. Yesterday he was
brought to the city by Squire ]. A.
Dopler and Constable j. S. Campbell,
Of Proctor, and will have to stand
trial

IMPORTING MEN,.
West Virginia Miners Still Going to
the Pittsburg District = District
Miners Board Declared a Boycott
on Coal Of Certain Companies Which
Refused to Pay the Scale.

AS previously stated many miners
from this district and vicinity have
been leaving here to get jobs in the
Pittsburg district. The miners are con-
tlnuing to leave and a dispatch from
Pittsburg states that the mine workers
union of that locality will give West
Virginia miners who are at outs with
their former employees, because of their
refusal to- pay THE 65-cent rate, a
chance to work at the scale rate in the
Pittsburg district 1t is announced that
several hundred more men from West
Virginia will be imported to make up
the shortage of forces along the Wheel
ing division of the B. & O. and at
Banksville, Moon Run, Toms Run,
Carnegie and in the Panhandle. The
miners union will import them and
will supply them with transportation.
1t is stated that the B. & 0. Railroad
Company will make a special rate for
the miners SO brought in.
A member Of the miners committee,
appointed ct the meeting of the dis
trlct board at BenWood Tuesday night.
TO present the Columbus scale to the
Glendale and Elm Grove companies
and ask them to pay it, said last night
that they had called upon the compan-
les referred to and had presented the
scale but they were met with a prompt
refusal. The board now proposes to
carry out their intention of boycotting
their coal and made the first move last
night. The electric light company of
Benwood, who have been using the
Glendale coal, were notified that if they
did not stop using the Glendale coal
that they would be boycotted
