The figures, with one or two exceptions
noted, are taken from the reports of the
eleventh census.
Certain Of the comparisons made are far
from fair, for example. those relating TO
illiteracy. and the school expenditures. In
both of these respects the Western states
which voted for free silver suffer by being
classed Unfortunately with their late po-
htical allies. the states OF the South. Nei-
Their in illiteracy nor In expenditures for
school purposes would any OF the free sill
yer states Of the West suffer by COMPARE
son with the best OF the states in the
sound money column. ii is in the South
and the South alone, where the bulk Of
the illiterate white vote IS found. and
where the expenditures for school pur-
poses fan far below the general average
for the United States.
With these exceptions. and with the fur
Their exception OF the figures relating to
the production of silver mines, the oom-
parsson OF conditions is such as can be
honestly made, and will furnish consider
able food for thought, and some explana-
ton as to why the election resulted as
IL did.
Fer example. IT appears that the free
silver states are not so disproportionately
overburdened with indebtedness as has
been commonly supposed. With. in round
numbers. only three times as much in
value. OF real property. the sound money
states carry a mortgage indebtedness
more than four times SIS great as the free
silver states. In other words, the real
property of the East and Middle West is
mortgaged for ons-third more. according
70 its value. than Is the property OF the
South and far West.
Another point which win readily suggest
Itself from an examination of the tables
Is the extreme disproportion which exists
between the number OF savings bank de-
posltorS in the two sections compared. as
well as in the amount OF money annually
paid out for wages in manufacturing es-
adjustments Il appears that there are
nearly eighty times as many depositoTs
in savings banks IN the sound money
states as there are IN those which voted
Tor free silver, and that more than seven
tinssas much annually Is paid outi in wages
in the former group than Ia the latter.
These figures SO far toward explaining
the result OF the election. Taking these
tables as a guide. IL appears that the sec
tons where the wage earners are far the
most numerous. and where thrift and saw
ing = most practiced. were strongly OPP
posed to tanlpering WITH the standard
OF values.

A good wife is to man, wisdom,
strength and courage; a bad one is
confusion, weakness and Despair No
condition is hopeless to man where
the wife possesses firmness, decision,
and economy. There is no outward
propriety which can counterfeit in
dolence, extravaganza, and folly at
home. No spirit can long endure bad
influence. Man is strong; but his
heart is not adamant. He needs a
tranquil mind; and especially if he is
an intelligent man with whole
head, he needs it's moral force in the
conflict Of life. To recover his COM
posture, home must be place of
peace and comfort. There his soul
renews its strength, and goes forth
with renewed vigor to encounter the
labors and troubles of life. But. if at
home he finds no rest, and there is
met with bad temper, jealousy and
gloom, or assaulted with complaints
and censure, hope vanishes and he
sinks into despair.
