Wheel Notes.

Penn's Grove has more wIleelmen ac-
eording to her population than any
town in South Jersey; there being
about 200, fifty of these being ladies.
Moonlight riding seems to be the rage
among the latter. The favorite run
being out to the old camp meeting
woods and back and down to the Cove,
the roads being fire.
Saturday night last quite a number
of riders were without lights which
made it rather dangerous to pedestrians
in crossing the streets. | think the
riders for their own safety would want
to carry lights as they mostly get the
worst of it when they run into u per-
son or team and | think also the Mar
shall is on the lookout for them that
carry no lamps, 50 be careful.
Be careful in riding out Franklin St.,
and down the Cove Lane as quite a
number Of new tacks have been picked
up On those streets lately. 1 don't
think that any n would do it on pur-
pose but, they might of thought that it
was the best place for them.
Here is a little hint about chain click
ing. Don't imagine that your bearings
are worn out but, take your chain off,
and soak it in gasoline about five min
utes. Then if clean put it in hot tai
low a few minutes or just long enough
to allow the tallow to run in the joints,
then wipe it perfectly clean and adjust
properly and put a pinch of tallow on
the sprockets. A chain should never
have any oil, as there is not enough
body about it and besides it picks UP
SO much dust.
Adjusting bearings. Some people
have an idea that there should be some
playNin the bearings to run properly.
That Is a very wrong idea as any ma
chinest can tell you that the more play
to any kind of bearings the more wear
there will be. Always adjust them so
the valve will go down easily and yet
leave no play to the wheel. You should
be very careful to keep the main bear
lings adjusted because it will throw your
sprockets from a straight line and as
Eyour chain has no swivel joints it could
not very well run on a crooked line.
Then comes the head bearings they are
just as important as any bearings in
the wheel, as the least little play will
often cause a crown head to break,
lqhey should be adjusted so as to- leave
no play at all but still work free. If
too tight the wheel will shear worse
than q steamboat in shoal water. G

The last River and Harbor bill had a
provision directing the Secretary of
War to have a preliminary examination
made as to the possibility and cost of a
ship canal from the great Lakes to the
pecan. Maj. T. W. Symons, who was
ordered to make the examination, has
reported against the undertaking be-
cause Of Its great cost. The report says
that the best route for such a canal
would be by way of Niagara River,
Lake Ontario, Oswego, Oneida lake
and Mohawk and Hudson rivers. Maj.
Symons expresses the opinion that the
Erie canal, when enlarged As contem-
plated, would, if New York would re.
move restrictions as to its use, give
commercial advantages practically
equal to the ship canal that would cost
about $500, 900, 900.

The money power wouldhaye us be-
lieve that law does not AMI cannot
create value. Value has two mean-
ings. Value in use, utility, is IN alb.
'solute term. Value in exchange, COM
mercial value, or price, is a relative
term. Water is of absolute necessity
and utility, yet it has no price, COM
mercial value in this region, yet in the
cities its price is high because of its
scarcity and expense of getting it where
needed, Sugar is of the same utility
Or value as a food, whether it be 1c. or
l0c. a pound, but sugar trust stock was
Sos a share before Congress increased
the tariff on sugar to suit the trust and
now it is Sl44 a share. Since the news
papers pictured Speaker Reed as having
his heel on the throat of the sugar trust
the stock has gone up 81 a share. The
commercial value of bank stock has
doubled and your farms have gone down
one half in the past 25 years, caused by
Congress Iegislating on the money by
making real primary money more scarce
and dear, yet the intrinsic value, fer.
tility, ability to produce crops is the
same. Yet people will believe that
Congress cannot increase or decrease
value, price, when your law makers
have done it all.

Democratic leader Bailey in Congress
on Monday in closing the opposition to
the passage of the Dingley bill said,
ST am one of those who think that,
while the tariff is second in Importance
to another great question, it is never
theless a question of vast Importance
to the people of this country. My judg-
ment is that the question of finance and
taxation are our greatest economic
questions, and, though it may be prop.
or to settle them one at a time, both
must be settled wisely before this coun-
try can attain its highest prosperity.
No tariff legislation can make this
country prosperous under its present
financial system, and no financial
system could make the ag-
ricultural sections of this country pros
porous under a tariff law which COM
psls the farmers to pay sxorbitant prices
for their manufactured goods"

The discoveries of gold in Alaska
bids fair to equal, if not rival the 40
discoveries in California. 1t is report
ed that over a million of gold has been
brought from there this summer with
millions yet to come and it has set the
country more gold crazy than ever.
When some of the tender feet learn
that it gets as cold as SOC below zero in
those gold regions, that one cannot af-
ford to start for there with less than
from s., 1000 to $4,000 and that it is
$500 miles after crossing the continent
to San Francisco, a few of us who will
have to walk will hesitate about start
ing. But as the minis are still open to
the free coinage of all gold into money,
which all Popocrats believe in, we will
repeat the prayer of the chaplain OF the
Illinois legislature.
Money! money is all their cry;
Moneys the total SUN;
Give us Money or else we die
Oh, let the Money comel

The London, (Eng,) Standard says:
"Mr. Mckinley has redeemed his pledge
and has led the country back into the
maze !of MISREPRESENTATION. Europe
survived the Mckinley tariff and vii!
also survive the Dinghy tariff, which
guarantees to England continual supre'
macy in the overseas carrying trade,
and, therefore, is likely to do us more
good than harm, while the prospect for
America is further deficits, gold ship
ments, a fatiguing succession of strikes
and panics and fanatics as political
s%ayiours."

Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's
Magazine says, at would sound
strange in England and it begins to be
rare in the United States to hear of
fortunes made by agriculture. But
cases of it are said to be common in
Mexico. l was told that in the little
city of Guadelajara there are d. mil
lionaires who have nearly all made
their money from the products of their
plantations Why should not farmers
become rich off the products of their
labor, for who work harder? Why
don't they do it in America and Eng
land? Because of low and falling
prices, dear money, caused by a gold
standard. Mexico is On a silver stand

to a 4 per cent. basis, These banks
have doubtless found by this time that
the Sound Money victory OF last year
has not been conducive to help on their
own or their customers business. And
unless the banks wake up o o and
help to put silver back as money where
it was alongside of gold in this country
from 1892 to 1873, their dividends will
be still less and a good many of them
will have to give up their charter and

For 20 years the people of America
have had preached into them that it
was a protective tariff was all that kept
labor from the low level of European
countries and that the fall of prices
and wages the last three years was due
to the lower tariff Wilson law. Now
that the highest tariff in American his

pnnnIist Address.

The Popullsts who desire to keep up
their organization for other reforms
and not let it die because the Demo-
cratic organization cut loose tom The
bankers, adopted free silver coinage
and declared bank notes to be uncon-
stitutional, met at Memphis, Tenn,
and issued an address setting forth the
reasons for maintaining their organiza-
ton for the advancement OF other re.
form, such as government ownership OF
telegraph, telephone and railroads and
the initiative and referendum which
later question is looked upon as the
most important, since it involves the
continuance of our free institutions.
"While we have nothing but kindly
feelings towards the rank and ile OF
our late allies, We do not believe that
the question of free silver is in itself a
broad enough platform for Il national
party, The reconciliation of silver
would, we believe, increase the price OIL
labor and its productions by increasing
the supply of money, and is therefore a
matter of the utmost consequence to
all the people of the United States; but
it must not DE forgotten that the open
ing of the minis to silver would not de-
crease n iota the robberies of the cor.
porations, the usurers, the rings and
the trusts. 1t will avail nothing to
add to the value of labor and It's pro-
auctions il the exaetions of plunderers
are permitted to increase in equal or
greater proportion. AS our Democrat
ic brethren had not patriotism enough
to adopt free silver until we had popu-
larized it, would they not slump back
to their first wretched state if the Peo-
ple's Party were to stop its missionary
workP''
1--WE are engaged in the most desper-
ate battle ever waged in the world. 1t
is the conflict of the few armed with
gigantic powers against the many. 1t
signifies the exploitation of labor by
the idle rich, so that those "who toll
not, neither do they spin,' shall rob
industry of its reward and leave those
who produce all wealth without homes
clothes or food. The eight million far.
mers who have just persisted Of starva-
ton in Hindostan are not the victims
of drouth alone, but of cruel misgov-
eminent also by their English masters
who so impoverished them that they
had no to fall back upon
when a failure of crops occurred. In
their miseries we read our own danger;
in their present we see our future UNI
less we possess more than Hindoo cap
acity to defend ourselves against the
despoilers of the world"
"We call the attention of the Ameri.
can people to the fact that the national
banks under a Republican administra-
tion are now fast putting into circula-
ton a vast quantity of national bank
notes, taken out on the S262, 000, 900 OF
Cleveland bonds, which, though adding
to the burden of debt and reaching cir
culation by high interest, furnishes an
increased supply Of money and a better
pricing opportunity on the American
markets. If prosperity, ever temporal

this increased money supply-not by

WAIVED A REARING.

Tuesday brought forth some new
developments in the already celebrated
Knorr-Wintersteen dynamite con-
spiracy. The appearance in town OF
Detective Henderson and several
other persons who were witnesses at
the former trial caused considerable
excitement when their presence be-
came known. A hearing was to have
been had before Squire Jacoby on
Monday afternoon, but ole witness
was absent and this caused a post
ponement.
Warrants were issued on Tuesday
for the arrest Of Henry Matz and H.
c. w. Matz, the two detectives who
were employed by the defense. They
were arrested at Reading by Consta,
BILE Wesley Knorr Tuesday afternoon,
and were expected here. but they
waived hearing and gave bail in the
sum Of $1,000 each for their appear
ance at court in this county. The
issuing of the warrants was founded
on sworn statements of John Faust
Emma Weickle, w. V. Riffict ano
one or two others, who were witnesses
at the trial, with criminal solicitation
to commit perjury, and subornation o
perjury. 1t is impossible to obtalr
any clue as to what the witnesses
swore to, but it will probably become
known in few days.
