"Why, my son. said Bryan, as HI
beamed on his boy with loving smile
"why, the miners meant that they
wanted our money to be 16 to |. That
is, they wanted it SO that 1G ounces OF
silver would be one ounce of gold"
But, papa, 16 ounces Of our coined
silver will buy one ounce of gold now
won't it?" asked Georgia opening his
eyes wide.
Yes, my son, congress did pass a
law making that ratio. Sixteen ounces
of our coined silver will buy one ounce
of coined gold now
Then, papa, said George thought
fully, IF gold and silver are now 16 to
1 by act of congress what more do they
want? What do they keep yelling for
'16 to 4 FORE"
We'll my son. said Bryan, thought
fully, '16 to is all right for the farmer,
mechanic and business man, but the
miner wants more for his silver. He
wants to sell his 16 ounces of uncoined
silver, which Is really worth in the
market less than eight dollars, for six
teen dollars worth of gold
why, papa, that would be paying a
! fifty per cent. bonus on silver, wouldn't
it? 1t would be buying it at twice its
value. 1t would be just like the gov
eminent buying all the hogs and corn
and cotton at twice their market value,
wouldn't it? That would be nice for
the farmer, papa, but the miners
wouldn't be in it, would they?"
George, hush," interrupted the boys
father
But papa, l will hush in a minute,
but say if the government should buy
all the miners silver at twice Its market
value the farmer and the mechanic
wouldn't be in it, would they, and 49,
Hush, George, don't talk so much.
You don't understand that we are using
the 16 to L to fool the miners until af-
ter election
oh, ] see, papa" said Georgia, If
we should give an ounce of gold, worth
sixteen dollars all over the world, for
sixteen ounces of silver, only worth
eight dollars, we'd have to buy all the
silver in the word-bilions of dollars
Hush, Georgia, hush!" interrupted
his father
And, bye and bye, papa said Geor-
gle, the rest of the world would have
all our valuable gold and we would
have their cheap silver worth 40 cents
on the dollar. l see, papa, it's all
joke. It's what they call the 'bogie.'
It's like Plutocracy and Caesarism and
imperialism. It's a scare crow, and
-"
George" said the loving father
you must hush. They will overhear
you"
Then the fond father put his arms
around George and gave him big ba- |
mana to eat.
Eat it. Georgia." said the boyle can I

Tom Tackle was a football man,
Who never thought Of fear,
A quarter back came rushing by
And tore from him an ear.
A full back stopped him in a squirt,
Before he could dodge by,
And ere they separated there
Poor Tom had lost an eye.
And after one more sprint he was
OF his left arm bereft,
But cheerfully he murmured: Now,
| My good right arm is left"
A center rush approached him with:
Your pardon. sir, | beg"
And in the tussle for the ball
| He pulled off Toms right leg.
Twas then his sweetheart said to him:
| with sorrow do | scan
! The remnants of your handsome self
| You are but half a man.
And though l pity you, indeed"
| The charming creature said,
Il fear that we must say farewell,
For we can never we'd"
Now, Tackle was a wise young man.
Though | have lost an ear,
He said, " Twill have double charm
When your sweet voice | hear.
"And though my left eyes gone to rest,
Yet 1t Is very nice,
For where looked at You but once
I'll now look at you twice.
"And though one arm is in It's grave,
The others strong as two.
Then, since one leg Is gone, can
Neer run away from you.'
So, they were wed, and Tackle thanked
What he called lucky fates;
For when he paid the marriage fee
1t cost him but half rates.
His wife declared: "I'l take no chance,
There's none Of YOU to spare"
To keep him from more football games
She cut off all his hair.
Tom Tackle Is a happy man,
Yet sometimes saws: :" 'Twould be
Much better had my hair been lost
Before the rest of me"

The RnInnCe of Trade.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
At the Hyperion Wednesday evening
the Hon. C. Il. Smith dllated on the
fact that the United States had sent
away more wealth during the Mckinney
regime than had ever been sent away
during a similar period, OF course, 1t
was not necessary for the honorable
gentleman to exert himself to the ex-
tent he did to tell us this as we have
been keeping tab on the treasury re-
ports and are thoroughly posted on the
figures What we really want to know,
and what he did not tell us, is, what
have we received in return for this
enormous amount of wealth which we
have sent away during the last three
and a half years? 1t does seem extra
ordinary that both in writing and
speaking the believers" in protection
should always endeavor to show the
amount of outgo and totally ignore the
income.
one would suppose llHS ldtlet W NC
the all important question, yet so far
it has been ignored by them as of no
consequence.
Last Friday you published a letter of
mine in which + showed what became
of the enormous excess of outgo over
income, and though these figures prov
ed conclusively the absufdity Of the be-
lief that the more wealth we send away
and the less we get in return the rich
er we become, not one Of the believers
has attempted to refute the position
taken, yet they still go on glibly max
ing the assertion and affirming their
belief in it. I am exceedingly desir-
GUS of knowing how to make a deficit
into favorable balance, and am ready
to pay for the information.
My figures in your issue of the 10Th
show that an excess of exports is an
evidence of debt, and this l claim is
the condition we are in. If anyone can
show that an excess of exports is what 1
the believers in a tariff claim it to !
be, viz, all evidence Of prosperity and !
international trading, then / |
am willing not only to admit that / am !
wrong but I will pay him or any char |
ty in the city OF New Haven 500 in
cash. w. Trueman.

Post MOrtem Held.

A post mortem examination Of the
remains of the late Anna Z, wife Of
John L. Yost, was held Friday afternoon
at the family residence, No. 4OS Brown
avenue. at 8 o'clock. Many Of Canton's
physicians attended. The result Of the
autopsy developed that cause of death
was due to a Hodgskins disease, which,
as stated in the News-Democrat Friday,
is very rare. The disease is caused by
an enlargement Of the Emphatic glands.
The red corpuscles Of the blood decrease
in number while the white corpuscles
increase in number and decrease in the
volume of blood. This continues often
as long as two years. The appetite be-
ing good throughout the course Of the
disease which is followed by dropsy,
invariably terminating in the death of
the patient.

LOCALIZED EVIL NO. IA.

Just at this time 1t may be quite
profitable for us to consider the history
of temperance legislation in Ohio.
From the organization of the state of
Ohio until the adoption of the constitu-
tion in 1851, the licence system prevail
ed, but there were very few saloons,
the hotels or taverns as then called,
were the principle dealers. Our con-
stitutional convention had a Demo-
cratic majority. Hon. Jos. Thompson
and DIR. Harman Stidger were the rep
resentatives from Stark county. CA
year before this time Democratic
legislation in Maine enacted the first
state Prohibition law in the nation.)
The following Is the clause In our
state constitution as submitted and
adopted:
mo license to traffic in intoxicating
liquors shall hereafter be granted in
this state but the general assembly
| may by law provide against evils re-
sulting therefrom."
In 1854 the legislature Of our state
enacted a law in harmony with the
above clause in the constitution; among
it's features was clause prohibiting
| the sale of liquor to be drank on the
| premises where sOlub eACept dieb pSSi
and native wine.
| These exceptions proved the open
door through which the liquor traffic
began under our present constitution
The law forbid the sale Of liquor to
minors, to drunkards, and to persons
in the habit of getting drunk; and also
provided that places that violated the
law, should be declared public nuisan'
ces and closed up.
This was really the best law evei
passed by our legislature in Ohio, and
more prosecutions took place, and more
effective results were obtained agains
the traffic than have ever resulted by
other laws that have since been sub
stituted.
In 1874 there was quite test on thu
temperance or prohibition sentiment II
Ohio. In August of said year new con
stitution was submitted with these tw'
propositions: prohibition" or Iii

election was during the stirring time
of what wah known as the woman
crusade" but the new constitution wa
defeated a sthe majority for prohibi
