A CURIOUS thing about human IA
ture is the TACT that while men do not
forget what they have said and done,
tney imagi that other people do; and
from the treatment aome of them re-
ceive, it would seem that in many
cases they do not imagine vain thing.
Ex-Congressman Breckenridge, OF Ken
tucky. for instance, one of the leaders
of the boilers, who low says that the
free coinage of silver would be dis
honest and dishonorable," must labor
under The delusion that every body OK
cept himself has forgotten the recent
fact that when the Window bill was
before the U. 8. House of Representa- a.
slyes he voted to recommit it, with III.
structions to report bill for the tree
coinage OF silver. And as with Colonel
.8reckiuridge, 80 also is it with Dir. By.
mum and nearly all the other boilers
who have been discarded by their
party They were for free silver few
years ago, but now they say free silver
is dishonest. They have got the boot
on the wrong foot; it is not free silver,
but they who are dishonest.

OF ALL the politicians in the coun-
try none has so fallen in public estima'
ton as Mr.. Carlisle. He WAS the ad-
miratiou OF his party, Representative,
q Senator aud q Cabinet minister, aud
supported the denomination OF Mir.
Cleveland, not because he deserved his
support, but for the reason, as he once
told an acquaintance, that it seemed to
him that he was the most available man.
He now is leader of the boilers, and
says free silver coinage would be the
blacklist of crimes. But few years ago
none more than he denounced the gold
standard, and when Secretary of the
Treasury, on the statement of reliable
men, issued an order which, however,
he subsequently countesmsnded, to the
effect that treasury notes should be re-
deemed with silver dollars. He has
forfeited the respect of the democratic,
and can never gain that OF the republi-
can party, for the history OF the world
shows that deserters are despised even
by those they try to help.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 81 1897.

The MORE carefully the new taiin
hill is examined, the more patent Dr.
comes its outrageous inequalities ana
niquities. 1t is now plain that ell
the revenue that will be raised oy II,
only eleven per cent. will be exacteo
from the rich, who consume lu1uries,
while the remaining eighty-nlne per
cent. will be raised by taxes laid upon
necessaries, which the poor people OF
the country have to buy. All wise law
makers have acted upon the common
sense idea that taxes, being naturally
Objectionable, should be laid upon those
who can afford to pay them with the
least trouble and inconvenience; IN
other words, those to whom their pay
ment will be least burdensome'
Revenue is raised for the support OF the
government, and it is the rich mans
wealth that is guarded and secured by
government, the poor having little or no
property to be protected. But the repuo
lican members of Congress, who made
the Diugley tariff bill, are not wise. II
they live long enough, and continue to
make laws, they wi probably realiz
the effect of their FOLLY, and learn that
the poor people of the North. whose
votes elected them, having become
tired of their burdens, will cast them
of and hang those who imposed them
on the crossbars of street lamp posts.

Patronize Home Dealers.

( It has become fad nowadays to
send abroad for articles, many people
laboring under the mistaken idea that
they are saving money by SO doing.
So sure are they of bargains that they
never condescend to consult the home
dealer. Now on all these foreign pur-
chases they must pay either freight,
express or postage, and in many cases
this amounts to no small sum, besides
which they must send their money
with the order, before they have seen
the goods. The home dealer may not
have the goods in stock but if he
hasn't if he is a wideawake business
man he will send for them and get them
for you as soon as you could yourself. If
you show him what you can buy for
elsewhere he will duplicate the price
likely, and frequently goods are sold
cheaper in Princeton than the prices
quoted by foreign dealers. Tt pays to
investigate any way. Money kept at
home builds up town and circulates
among it's citizens while money sent
away is gone forever. Hereafter be-
fore you send away take your catalogue
to your merchant and see what he can
do. He is right here and a responsible
party, who will make everything salts
factory to you r7you needn't buy. He
helps to pay the taxes, too, which the
other fellow doesn't. Patronize your
home merchant.
