DRUGGISTS, Liahts.

An apothecary found himself minus
his red light one night at time when
1t was customary for tradesmen of his;
class to ornament their store fronts
with simple red lamp. To supply his
need he took glass bottle filed with
n red fluid and placed a candle behind
1t. The effect so pleased him that he
added another. Rival druggists flu
minated their windows, increasing the
number Of lights and also changing the
colors. Thus the entire town followed
the lead. Soft became the fashion.

The Changes Few Years Have Wrought
In Money! Matters.

On another page OF this paper can
be found q brief account OF thelero-
ic measures which President Roose-
welt and Secretary Cortelyou are
about to adopt for the purpose of in
creasing our circulating medium.
If possible, hundreds of millions Of
new money are to be forced into cir
cnlation, and in that way the gov
eminent hopes to put an end to the
present financial panic.
What change has taken place
since Cleveland was president? At
that time there was little more than
halfthe per capita of circulating me-
dunn in the country that there is at
the present time. Yet, at that time,
Cleveland and the republican lead
ers were insisting that there was
money enough in the country, that
confidence was all that was needed,
and that the way to restore conf
dence was to rigidly adhere to
scarce money policy. At that time
the government owned quantity Of
silver bullion, commonly called
seigniorage, which if coined into
money would have added twenty five
or thirty millions to the circulating
medium. A bill was passed by con
gress requiring the secretary of the
treasury TO con the silver ssign-
forage owned by the government,
but Cleveland followed the advice OF
the republican leaders in congress
and vetoed the bill. A few years
later congress repassed the seignior-
age bill and it was promptly signed
by President Mckinley. 1t was one
of the measures for the expansion Of
the currency, which helped the coun-
try to better times during Mckin-
ley's term as president.
In 1896 there was no more sense
in pursuing a scarce money policy
than there would be in Withholding
food from hungry man. But the
republican leaders played politics to
the injury Of their country. They
found an obstinate, self-admiring
man Of narrow views in the White
House, who called himself demo-
crat, and by tiattering his vanity
and praising his obstinacy they pro-
longed financial stringencv to the
injury and damage of the country
and the democratic party.
That the republican leaders were
playing politics during Cleveland's
second administration is established
to demonstration bi their actions
and advice at tho present time. Ar,
any of them saying that confidence
would take the place of money at
the present time? Their confidence
game, If good when Cleveland was
president. should be all right now.
What the country needed during
Cleveland's last term as president
was more money with which to
transact the rapidly increasing bust
ness of . progressive people. And
that is what the needs of the pres
ent time require Fortunately for
the country there is no Cleveland at
the head of affairs in WASHINGTON,
and no democratic lenders to inter.
pose objections to proper measures

once More perpetual Motion"

David Uniapon, a full-blooded native
of the norther territory, Australia, who
combines genius for mathematics
with a passion for music, claims to
have invented a machine which will
secure perpetual motion. He is now
in Adelaide, the capital of South Aus
tralia. seeking the means of testing
tie feasibility of his mechanism. He
explains that the forces which he pro-
poses to use are gravitation and mo-
mentum and he had to come to AIDE
laide to seek the assistance of the alb
orinines department in procuring four
beveled wheels, spindle, tube and
so on. He is confident that when he
gets these requisites he can put to-
fether a machine which will bring
perpetual motion appreciably nearer.
