Japan and India. In other lands wages
are not uniform. Wages in Great Brit.
ain are higher than else where In Europe,
and wages are not uniform In those,
France and Germany paying more than
Italy. But, for the work done in this
country, wages, as rule, are lower here
than in Great Britain. We say to these
gentlemen they had better beware, and
not pile up wrath against the day OF
wrath. This country is not Europe nor
China yet, nor likely to be for a time.
Americans generally know that there
was resolution in this land that cut us
loose from the thralldom of royalty and
titled nobility; and the rule of money
oligarchy, without titles, is equally
dangerous and Objectionable. The
money power that has been controlling
things has its head in England, while
the combine extends over our own fair
land, aided by the schemers and trefiick-
ers in politics.
They claim that with silver in circula
ton we would have a silver standard,
but at the same time insist that with
nothing but bank paper in circulation
we could have gold standard. They
want gold standard without a gold
currency Their talk Of sound money

ing control, when the common people
would have to be satisfied with their
bank paper promises.

MOOSE CAUGHT HIM.
And When Friends Reached His Side
He Was Dead-A Peculiarly
Distressing Accident.

Albert Sheetenhelm, a man we'll known
in this city, where many of his relatives
live, met with instant death in most
peculiar manner at Hartville Monday
shortly before the noon hour. Sheeteu-
helm had assembled tall ladder which
leaned against an iron smoke stack at
the Lilly works. The stack meet ded re-
pairing and Sheetenhelm was about to
make the necessary changes and was ap-
preaching the top Of the ladder when "a
portion of the stack toppled over and
fell, carrying the ladder and the man
with 1t. Shestenhelm in some unaccount-
able manner became entangled in rope
which was suspended from the top Of the
ladder and hung down along the rungs.
When assistance reached the spot it was
found that the rope had been wrapped
about the unfortunate mans neck break
ing it and causing instant death. Coro,
ner MoQuate WAS summoned and held an
inquest which developed the foregoing

TO TAX CHURCHES.
A Legislator Fathers a Bill at
Columbus
THAT WILL CREATE COMMOTION

Besides the Churches aud Ret gious
Societies Generally, the Propsrty
of the G.. A. II. is Also Inciud-
ed Ia the New Bill.
Columbus, Feb. 2.-(Special. MIR.
Parker, OF Cuyahoga county, dropped q
bill into the house hopper yesterday after
noon which will probably attract as much
attention or more than any measure
which has thus far made its appearance.
1t is bound to bring down upon him the
antagonism Of two very important ele-
ments in society, the one the church go
ing public and the other the veterans of
the civil war.
His bill, in fine, is repeal of the pres
ont law exemptiug churches and the
porperty of Incorporated @. A. r. posts
or Union Veterans Uoion posts from
taxation. Tte MEASURE will undoubted-
| ly, II 1t survives the committee considera
ton and appears for final passage, pre-
cipitate a warm fight.
The bill leaves those clauses Of the ex-
emption provision in the present law
substantially unchanged with the exoep.
tion of the ones relating to churches, to
the property of G.. A. II. posts and the
Union Veteran Union and the funds Of
the Indiana Friends, better known as
Dunkards or German Baptists The last
two are repealed outright so that they
will, If the bill becomes law, enjoy no
exemptions, ana the former il amended
80 as to read: Gan houses used exclu-
sively for public worship, the books and
furniture therein contained and the
grounds attached thereto necessary for
the proper occup 'ncy, use and enjoyment
of the same, provided said houses, books,
furniture and grounds that do not exceed
in value the sum of 81, 900 "
When the bill was read it attracted lit
tie or no attention. as is usual during the
confusion attendant upon the introduce
tion of bills. 1t will come up for it's
second reading today and was referred to
the proper committee. Mr.. Parker real
ICES that he has not sounded popular
chord by fathering the bill, but he be-
lieves in it and declares that he thinks 1t
will pass.

ELECTION BOARD
For the State is Now Proposed and
May Come to an Issue
Very Soon.

Columbus, Feb. 2.-(Speoial. "A bill
will be introduced this week providing
for the creation of a state board of elec.
tions to consist of two Democrats and
two Republicans to be appointed by the
governor.
1t is said that the same vote which
effected the present orag gnization of the
house and senate will make the passage
of the bill certain. The measure will
effectually remove from the secetary Of
state the temptation to promulgate made
to-Order interpretations of the election
laws.

NOSLEEP FOR THEE MONTHS
One Cause of Sleeplpssness That Can
Be Readily Overcome.

Mr.. VIM. Hanschu, of 10th St., Cotton
Alley, Plttsburg, Pa, expressed himself
as follows regarding the new remedy for
piles: 81 take pleasure in stating that
was so picted with piles that for three
months l got no regular sleep; became
com pletely prostrated, the doctors did
me no good; my brother told me of the
new remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile
Cure; l purchased from my druggist
three 81 cent boxes and they completely
cured me. / am once more at my work
and but for this excellent medicine
should be on my back. / take great
pleasure in writing this letter because 80
many people are suffering from this
trouble who like myself did not know
where to look for permanent, reliable
safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
strated to the medical profession, as well
as to thousands of sufferers from piles,
that it is the safest and most effectual
pile cure ever offered to the public, con-
tanning no opiates or poisons of any
kind, painless and convenient to handle,
and being sold by druggists at TO cents
ahu VI PCA DOAb 10 IhO iOoSh Va
every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made complete cure of chronic
cases that had not yielded to other
remedy for years.
There Is scarcely a disease more ag'
gravating and obstinate to cure than the
various forms of piles and it is com
mon practice to use ointments, salves
and similar preparations containing
dangerous poisous to remove the
trouble. The Pyramid has superseded
all of these Intellectual remedies and nc
one suffering with any rectual trouble
will make any mistake in giving the
Pyramid trial.
Ifin doubt as to the nature Of your
'trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.
Marshall, Mich, Tor a valuable little
book on piles, describing all forms o.
the disease and describing the methoC
of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyra
mid Pile Cure as it is the best known
and most popular remedy for piles and !

to many people in your vicinity WHIT

The bulletin of the American Iron and
Steel Association, giving review of the
conditions of trade during the year of
1895, and later on, says that in Septem-
Der 1897, p.ices improved, and this i'm.
provement continued in October, but in
November and December there was q
marked weakening in prices, and this
reaction continues today, notwithstand-
ing all that has been said to the con-
trary. At present it seems the iron in.
dustry is not particularly cheering.

finances of the country. We remember
that in the Jackson period Nicholas
Biddle was the oracle, being Presiden: Of
the United States bank. Nick ran
against circumstance in trying to butt
"old Hickory" of the track, but failed
and his bank collapsed in few years.
These financial fellows sometimes come
to grief with all their airs and import
ance. Jay Cook in 1873 introduced the
panic The clearing house banks in New
York, some sixty, brought on the crisis
in 1893. Just prior to that the great
Barring house in London failed. The
Bank Of England was alarmed and
came to the rescue, but had to call on
the Bank Of France for help. All goes
to show what ticklish things financial
fabrics are; and what signal failures
