WORDS AND THEIR USES.

No one can say how many words

cause there are SO many words of

field Republican. The Century die
tionary contains about 225.OOO words.
and the new edition of the Standard
dictionary lays claim to over OO.OOO.
or these many are obsolete, and many
others are rarely used. Science has
added a vast vocabulary OF polysylla-
bles that are scientific formulae rath-
er than real words. They have no
place in general literature. The ordi-
nary English vocabulary may be said
to contain from 10000 to $4,000 words,
the latter estimate being large. No
single writer Of literature has used
as many as the lower number named.
Shakespeare. whose vocabulary is
larger than that OF any other English
poet, unless 1t be Browning. used
about $4,000 words, while Milton,
whose range was narrower, employed
only about half that number. The
vocabulary OF the illiterate has been
set MS low as 30 words. but this must
be exceptional. It's more likely that
the Ordinary workingman" uses from
1000 to 1900 words. while. OF course.
he Is familiar with several thousand
more. which he recognizes in print
but does not himself use The COM
mon estimate OF the average vocabu.
larry OF educated people Is from 5000
to 5000. but In this case the number
OF words which are not used Is enor-
mously increased. A well.read COL

MUNICIPAL CREDITS.
They Have strengthened ana I'm.
proved Under Republicnn l,oIIcies.


The same Republican policies which
have strengthened the credit of the Uni
ted States government and caused its
bonds to rise steadily in value have also
promoted the credit of States, municipal
tiles, school districts, etc., which can
now issue bonds to far greater advant-
age than eight years ago, thus resulting
IN great saving to taxpayers. Owing to
the Increase in the general prosperity,
savings have steadily accumulated and
nave become invested largely in bonds
issued by municipalities in furtherance
or public improvements.
Eight years ago, in Democratic times,
municipalities and States found 1t even
more difficult than the general govern.
ment to sell bonds except at great sacri-
nee, owing to the extreme depression In
the investment markets. Public inn
provements, therefore, had to- wait In
definitely since the money for them could
not be obtained, except by excessive in
crease In taxation.
The change, however, within the last
eight years from bad to good, as regards
the credit of these local governments and
their ability to borrow money for needed
improvements, is an evil thing from the
Democratic standpoint.
In his speech to the Democratic edi-
tors, at Rosemount on September 3, Al
ton B. Parker bewailed the 'extrava-
gance in Federal, State and municipal
governments" and dolefully noted: "Thc
indebtedness of the municipal govern
ments is steadily piling up, BOND IS-
SUES ARE INCREASINGLY FIRE.
QUENT, and the people have not the
satisfaction, In many instances, of a full
equivalent in improvements for the
money expended"
The appended table shows how in
seven typical cities of the United States.
about evenly distributed geographically,
municipal credits have risen during the
last eight years Of Republican prosperity,
and have made it possible for public i'm
provements to he accomplished with dim
inishing burden TO taxpayers. The table
compares the basis on which these bonds
were sold In 1895 and 1896 with the
basis on which they have been sold this
year. (Of course the lower the basis
the greater, the advantage to the mun.
cipalities in placing new issues and the
greater the advantage to investors who
hold the original issues) Here are the
figures:
