The wisdom of some of the gold
bug editors passeth understanding,
and among these none are superior
to those who domicile in the Phila-
delphia Record sanctum. Here is
d chunk of that wisdom from
Tuesdays Record:
eff silver worth 40 cents could be
taken to the minis and transmitted
by a stroke of the dies into dol.
lars worth of legal tender money it
would be a great speculation for
the silver miners"
Now let us substitute wheat in
place of silver and farmers for silver
miners.
If wheat worth so cents a bhshel
could be "transmuted" into one
dollar a bushel by demand caused
by scarcity sit would be great
speculation" for the farmers. This
actually did occur last year, and
the Record thought it a great boom
for business, and because it put
more money into circulation and
idle people to work. And this is
precisely what transmitting silver
into legal tender dollars would do.
When the fool killer comes round
the first drive he will make will be

morning papers.

Good looks are really more than

healthy condition of all the vital

you have bilious look; if your

and you will surely have good
looks. "Electric Bitters" is a good

Who Owns America ?

The railroad companies own
215, 715,OOO acres of land in the
United States, which amounts
nearly to the combined acreage of
land in the States of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Kan
sas, that foots up to 216,511, 200
acres. Foreigners that do not live
in this country own 65,0OO,OOO;
Murchy, of California, 100000,
Vanderbilt, 200, 900; the Standard
Oil Company, 100000; Dittson,
of Philadelphia, 1000, 900. Nearly
all of which land has been acquired
since the civil war. Thirty-o one
thousand people own more than
one-half of all the wealth of the
United States. With a congress
and President working for the in
terests of these few, how long does
the reader think it will take these
few to own the balance of America?

| Col. Balm in his lecture on the Hispano
American war and events growing out O.
it, made SOME mistakes in his deductions
Among them was that the Monroe doc
trine had been relegated TO the limbo o.
the past In this we think the Colonel
very wide of the mark. On the contrary
the Monroe doctrine has been made
stronger than ever. That doctrine is that
no foreign or monarchical power shall
interfere with the republics south of us OF
establish colonies on this continent. That
policy has not been abandoned, but great,
| ~ strengthened.
His reference to the Jews being driven
out of Spain will apply to every nation
almost in Europe at one time or another.
They robbed the nations, or their indus
trial classes, by their financial methods OF
usury, hence the people rose in arms
against their merciless exploiters. There
was no excuse for the brutality the Span.
iards visited upon them. The Spanish
treated the Moor's no better.
The Gar of Russia is forcing the Jews
out of Russia for the same reason they
have been expelled from other countries,
and they are finding their way to this
country in thousands.
The Rothschilds would not loan Spain
one dollar but were ready to loan the
United States billion if they wanted it.
Spain is sucked dry. The United States
is the latest fowl in the world to pick and
they are picking it. Why should they
loan Spain money they knew never could
be repaid, and why not loan the United
States any amount which they knew
would be paid back with interest conl-
pounded ten times?
Col. Bain's patriotic and philanthropic
gush often carries away his cool jrdg-

Merchant
Tailoring
Exclusively.

Not having any connections with the
ready-made trade, we cut every garment
to the individual measurement of each
customer, and in this manner we avoid
possibility of being charged with furnish
ing garments out of stock, as not infre-
quently happens when purchases are made
from double establishments.
We do not pretend to be the Cheapest
house" in the merchant tailoring field,
and we say plainly we have no ambition
to be regarded as such. We furnish sat-
isfactory article rather than a cheap one,
yet we challenge competitors to produce
a garment whose satisfaction is based upon
good material, good fit and good finish, at
lower price than the figure we name for
similar goods. We expect to be judged
by what we place in the hands of our GUS
toners, not what we say we will do. An
ounce of execution is worth a pound of
promise. Try us.
We have at present over 1900 samples
of cloths for Suits, Overcoats, Vestings,
&C., from which to select.

A Friendly Ceremony in Old Cuba.

When an acquaintance visits pri-
vate residence, cigars are handed round
on silver salver; if the visitor be an
intimate friend, one of the young girls
of the family, called "donzalia, lights
a cigar and giving it few draws to
get well lighted, gracefully presents it
to him. If the guitar is brought in, as
usually occurs (for there is one in every
house,, and the visitor plays, his cigar
is kept lighted by the donzalia, and at
each pause in the music she politely
hands it to the guest. This may occur
several times in an evening, and this
friendly ceremony is pleasant enough
when the cigar comes from the pouting
lips of rich Spanish beauty just ripen-
ing into womanhood, but in any case it
must be thankfully accepted.-Jona-
than s. Jenkins, in Century.
