ARauMENTs FRoM THE MINr.

1t does that Ia recent the use Of large
campaign funds gives great advantage to the party
which the interpretations support says Bryan's Com
moner Addison put it well when he said: "a man who
is furnished with arguments from the mint will
vince his antagonist much sooner than one who draws
them from reason or philosophy. Gold is wonderful
cleaner Of the UNDERSTANDING it dssipaes every doubt

lip Of Macedon Of most evincible this
way He refuted by it all the wisdom of Athens
founded their statesmen struck their orators dumb and
at length argued them out of all their liberties"
In the heat of campaign the strong partisan might
rejoice in the fact that his party had the largest
pagn fund.- lover Of his country can reflections
doubt the corrupting influence of immense campaign
funds drawn from the nsoent and arrogant monopoles
The time will when appeal to the of
will be greater power in politics than resort to the
checkbook But in this day the monopolist bent upon

The wisdom of Athens has on several occasions been

WHEN LIVING WAS CHEAP.
-Four Cents Day Was Sufficient for

tenance.

II anything is calculated to make
the twentieth century householder
envy his remote ancestor 1t is to COM
pare his domestic bills with those pre-
sented to his progenltors in the by
gone centuries, says Stray Stories
In the days of the Plantagenets II
a man wished to regale his family on
mutton he could buy the finest of fat
sheep for quarter. A COW would nat
urally come more expensive. but $3.50
would buy the best he could find in the
local cattle market, while for a fat
hog he need only part with 80 cents.
In the fourteenth century two cents
was demanded for q pair OF chickens
and five cents Tor goose fit to grace
any Christmas dinner table, and a
cent would purchase dozen new-Iaid
eggs; while for two cents the brewer
was compelled by law to sell three
gallons. the equivalent OF 4S glasses
Of beer.
Cart horses were almost a drug in
the market at 75 cents apiece, and
oxen at s1.25 In the days Of the sec
ond Henry farm could be equipped
with three cart horses, half a dozen
oxen, 20 cows and 200 sheep for $50.
As for labor you could purchase an
English slave and his entire family
for three dollars. Three cents a day
was deemed good wages for an ordi-
nary laborer. and even at harvest
time four cents a day was the high
est sum expected
House rent was so absurdly small
that the lord mayor OF London only
paid Ave dollars year to his land
lord.
A yearly salary of s25 was munif-

But all things were not on the
same scale Of economy; for at the very
time when even the chancellor was
thought passing rich" on a salary OF
$S75 a week. a sum Of S165 was asked
for Bible in nine volumes, and ten
dollars was paid for a primer for the
prince Of Wales.
