SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY,
WHEN SHADOWS FALL.
When alutdows fall
I need tliee more, loved one, Uian thru' the
day.
For then 'tis saddened thoughts oppress my
heart;
Vai;ue feanand lort'rlng doubts, dear one,
hold sway
When shadows full.
When shadows fall
The gloom of endless torrow sweeps
around
And starts a-throhhlng fmh aotne unheal
ed wound
And crushing, bears me to the ground.
When shadows fcilL
Wben sliadows fall
Dim ghosts of long ago, with haunting
tread,
Pas by, with grieving eyes of ones long
dead
And touch, regretfully, my low bowed
shadows fall.
When shadows fall
I long to enter in a world unknown.
A dreamer's world where I should roam
alone:
In lA-the's water there forget my mmn
When shadows till.
When Khudows full
And this life's little sphere has found its
rest,
I would, if thou eouldnt grant my one re
quest, Irift out to uiect my God while folded to
thy breast
When shadows full.

UXCLE TED'S MASCOT.
Emm St. Nicholas for June. .
It bad been deckled that Bob should
not go to see the races on Thanksgiv
ing Day. As Hob M as only four years
old, there had not been much doubt
felt in the family as to the impropriety
of allowing "the kid'' to witness the
athletic games. "Uncle Ted," a Rob
called him, Theodore, as he was known
to the rewt of the world had determin
ed views on the subject. He was to be
one of the contestants in the 410-yard
dash, to the uninitiated, the quarter
mile dash) and he was certain that the
youngster ought to stay at home.
The truth of the matter was that
Bob's mother was Theodore's favorite
sister, and the young athlete was afraid
that the doting mamma would be too
much absorbed in looking after her
-mall son to note the triumphs or fail
ures of "the fellows."
Theodore Bullard had been in train
ing for a month past. He went into
town daily to college, but every even
ing was conscienthnisly devoted to
practice in running; and, yet, aa he
confessed franklj, although nervously,
to his interested sister, there was "hard
ly a bhow" for him. Until a fortnight
ago he had been rather hopeful; then
his high hopes had been crushed by the
appearance iu the quiet town of Milton
of a young collegian famous in his set
1 r his muscle and staying powers. At
the earnest appeal of the captain of the
Milton Athletic Team, he had entered
his name on the 440-yard dash. He
was a senior in college, but for me
weeks past his eyes hal given him so
much trouble that he had been obliged
to suspend all study, and was now vis
iting friends iu Milton. Theodore's
private opinion was that he had been
sent home because of some bit of niis
citief; but of this he was not sure. The
fact that he belonged to a rival college
added intensity to Ballard's desire to
see him beaten. He himself was only
a sophomore, with, consequently, two
years less of such athletic work as col
lege life brings with it.
Outsiders little guessed how great was
Theodore's chagrin at the entrance
upon the lists of so strong a rival.
His sUt had always been his confi
dante, and into her ears he poured
forth his complaint shortly after her
arrival at the Milton homestead on
Thanksgiving eve. Hhe lived in the
neighboring city, in which her husband
was a prosperous lawyer ; but all holi
days were ppent at the old home.
"I declare," confessed the would-be
victor, "if it were not for the shame of
the thing I would back out of the whole
affair. It would look mean to desert
the team now at the last minute. But
I am sure I shall be wretchedly beaten.'
"Oh, perhaps not," was the soothing
reply, which, however, did not raise
the boy's depressed spirits.
"But, Anna, I know I shall be.
That fellow Thorndyke and I have
had several friendly trials of speed, in
practice, you know, and I vow he
beats me every time ! And of course he
glories in it. He is as confident of suc
cess to-morrow as I am of defeat. I'm
completely discouraged !'
It was here that Bob, the only grand
son and the pet of the entire house
hold (with the exception of Theodore,
who was just at the age when he im
agined he "did not like small chil
dren,") put in his feeble plea.
"Mamma, mayn't I go and see Uncle
Ted wun waces?"
"Not much, yot don't !"' growled
the uncle, "Not ii I know it ! I want
all your mother's attention for our
team to -morrow. Kids are decperately
in the way at such a place. They
stand in the track and very likely they
get knocked over, and bring down
upon their innocent heads the male
dictions of all interested spectators."
Theodore was only eighteen, and
consequently intolerant. His nephew
was sulliciently impressed by this out
burst to hold his peace, and resign
himself to a moruiug at home with his
nurse.
Thanksgiving day dawned cool and
fair, but not cold.
"Just the weather for running," ex
claimed Theodore, as the household as
sembled in the cheerful breakfast-room.
There were not many to celebrate
Thauksgiving, but the few were all
there Mr. and Mrs. Ballard, Theodore,
Mrs. Newman (Hister Anna), little
Biib, aud Tom Newman. The lat
named was a rollicking, jolly fellow,
who was, as Theodore acknowledged,
"the best kind of a brother-in-law."
"Well, young man," said Tom, "we
shall all turn out in force to see you
win the race this morning."
Win? No such luck!" was the
discouraged rejoinder. "I wish that
man Thorndyke waa in the Desert of
Sahara ! If he was out of it I might
stand some chance against the other
fellows."
"Oh, come, my eon," said his father,
'keep up a brave heart."
"Yea, dear," urged Mrs. Ballard,
set
ESTABLISHED 1827.
gently, "the race U not always to the
swift."
"But It is to the fellow who baa had
most training, and whose wind holds
out best," answered the boy. "I say,
with an abrupt change of subject,
"why can't the kid say grace this
morning? He is the youngest mem
Ut of the wrty." '
All heads were bowed as Bob's rouhd
and curly pate bent low over the tray
in froutof hi.ii, and then the childish
treble broke the silence.
"Bwess, O Lord, we pway thee, this
food to our use, and us to Thy service,
and let Uncle Ted w in the wace to-day.
Amen."
Grandma frowned down the father's
and grandfather's smiles oramusemeut
at this uuique petition, and stern Uncle
Ted said, with a queer little choke in
his voice :
. "I say, kid, you're a nice little chap,
and you deserve to go to the races this
morning. Mayn't he go Anna?"
Mrs. Newman refrained from re
minding her impulsive brother that it
was he, not she, w ho had objected to
Bob's joining the larty, and readily
promised that he should go.
The runner's breakfast was a slight
affair and soon over.
.
Just licfore the race began, Bob
caught his father's hand convulsively.
"Papa," he whispered, "couldn't you
li ft me up ou top of that fence, so I
could see the end of the wace ?"
A shout from the crowd told that the
start had been made. Down the road
they came, four abreast for a few yards,
heads bent, elbows at sides, and feet
beating the track as if in unison. Then
Smythe fell behind, and in a moment
Gordon twisted his ankle and subsided
into a limping dog-troL Smythe still
struggled pluckily onward, although
many yards behind the others.
So the race was really between Bal
lard and Thorndyke. For an eighth
of a mile they were side by side, and
then easily, as if without effort Thorn
dyke gained a yard on his opponent.
A shout of mingled ditsappoiiimentand
delight went up from the spectators.
The air rang w ith cries of, "Ballard !
brace up, Ballard !" and "Thorndyke !
Thorndyke !"
Nearer ami nearer they drew to the
finish. To Theodore it seemed as if he
could never make up the difference be
tween himself and the senior athlete.
At his side, just that little distance in
front, the fellow stayed, and Theodore
felt that there he would remain, as he
was sure that his own muscles were
strained to the utmost The blood
surged to Ids ea.-, the many voices
seemed all blended in one subdued roarr
The people on each side of him were a
confused mass. """".
Suddenly from out of the tumult he
heard one clear, bhrill voice. He
glanced quickly up, and in that second
saw Bob, held on the top rail of the
fence by his father's restraining arm,
his whole little body quivering with
excitement, the curly head glistening
in the sun as he waved his cap wildly.
His eyes were fastened with an expres
sion of desperate eagerness on the man
who was being beaten, and it was little
Bob whose voice Theodore heard.
"Uncle Ted ! Uncle Ted V raug out
the clear voice. " io it ! Oh, go it !"
Tiie young man's head was suddenly
thrown back with a defiant fling, his
broad shoulders seem to leap forward,
the muscles in his legs and arms tight
ened like w hip-cord, and, before the as
tonished crowd could catch their breath
Ballard had come in ahead of Thorn
dyke by two yards, winning the great
race !
"I never thought the fellow could
spurt like that !" pauted the vanquish
ed collegian. "He never did it before!"
Friends pressed about Ballard all
eagerly congratulating him upon his
remarkable victory, aud exclaiming.
"I say, old fellow !" queried an ad
miring chum, "how under the sun did
you make that gorgeous spurt ?"
Vi'.h a shaky laugh Theodore forced
his way to where Tom Newman stood
with Bob in his arms. Seizing the
child, the victor set him on bis should
er, exclaiming with A grateful voice :
"This in the little fellow who won the
race ! Bob was my Mascot !"
Merry Princes Maud.
Princess Maud, of Wales, is brimful
of fun, aud occasionally her disposition
to look upon "the funnyside of things''
has got her into trouble with her par
ents, says the Loudon "Mall." Once
she nearly upset a solemn ceremonial
in South Loudon by her risil.lj ten
dency. A well-known divine was
preaching a sermon, when suddenly,
owing to the page of his manuscript
having got mixed, he uttered some
very incongruous remarks. Princess
Maud grasped the situation at once and
hid her fat in her handkerchief, but
the convulsive shaking of her should
ers was not due to sympathy with the
unfortunate predicant, 'and, unluckily,
Princess Victoria caught the infection.
Another time, when the royal agri
cultural show was held at Windsor, the
Prince and Princess of Wales and their
children took the opportunity after
service on Sunday morning to quietly
inspect the live stock. Preseutly they
arrived at a stall labeled "Dangerous."
In it w as a black bull, which they had
scarcely approached when there was
a shriek, and the royalties scattered in
all directions. The cause was soon
clear. Princess Maud had slyly
"stirred up" the animal with her
parasol.
King Humbert and Hii Soldier.
King Humbert, in the name of him
self, of Queen Margherita, and of the
princes of the royal family of Italy, has
given to the government for the fauii
lies of the dead aud wounded soldiers
iu Africa the sum of 4,000,000 francs.
This sum is to be distributed without
distinction between the Italian aud the
native soldiers, who fought side by side
agaiust the Abyssinians. King Hum
bert has also expressed bis intention of
furnishing, if necessary, another sum
of 1,000,000 francs, in his name and that
of the queen, to be divide among the
wounded.
There is no other remedy on earth so
simple, so effectual, so natural, in the
cure of summer complaint iu all Its
f jrnis, as Dr. Fowler's Ext. of Wild
Strawberry.
JULY 22, 1 8 6.
EICHEST MAN IN MAINZ.
Arthur J. Sewall i a Protectionist, a
Member of the American Tariff ,
League and an Annexa
tionist. Arthur J. Sewall would have made
a proper And ornamental tail-ender on
a ticket with Maj. McKinley, but with
Bryan he is a misfit.
Although A Democrat by habit and
heredity, his views on public questions
correspond very closely with those of
the Republican candidate,' and the con
vention might have raked the Demo
cratic party through from East port to
San Diego without being able to dis
cover a more unsuitable person to place
upon the Chicago plutform.
Mr. Sewall's ancestors have occupied
a large portion of the towu of Bath, in
Maine, for two or three centuries.
They have built ships and sailed them.
They have carried rum and lumlicr
and Yankee notions aud cotton goods
to the farthermost parts of the earth
to Greenland's icy mountains, to
Africa's sunny fountains and to India's
coral strands. They have traded rum
aud calicoes and beads with the na
tives for cocoanut oil and dye-woods,
which they brought home to New
England and sold to the manufactur
ers to be worked up into articles of use
fulness. During the war the Sewalls
were copper-beads, aa they were tories
during the Involution, but they have
always been honorable and upright
citizens, with a talent for getting mon
ey and keeping it and for looking out
for No. 1.
Mr. Arthur Sjwall, the nominee for
Vice President, is the richest man in
Maine. His wealth is estimated from
S-,0) 10,000 to $c,,0uu. He owns the
largest yards for building wooden
ships in the United States and builds
iron ships also, having at present sev
eral contracts with the Government.
He is president of the American Ship
ping league, which was organized for
the purpose of securing a high tariff
and heavy subsidies for American
ships. He is the only iVmoerat of
prominence connected with the or
ganization, and was placed at its head
because of his politics. Charles II.
Cramp, the Philadelphia shipbuilder,
is vice president, but he is a Republi
can and therefore is not out of place.
Mr. Sewall came to this convention
not as a delegate, but as president of
the league, and for the purposeof secur
ing as a part of the platform a resolu
tion similar to that adopted by the Re
publicans at SL Louis, His resolution
was submitted to the Committee on
Platform in typewritten manuscript.
It began something like this: "We
favor a return to the practice and pol
icy of Thomas Jefferson," and then
declared that the Democratic party is
not in favor of free ships, but believes
in protecting and encouraging the
American merchant marine. It
therefore demands high duties upon
ships aud the imposition of differen
tial duties upon all imported goods
that are not carried in American bot
toms. Mr. Sewall and a number of the
Maine delegation had a het.ring before
the committee upon this proposition.
Mr. John E. Ru-tscll, of Massachusetts,
was allowed five minutes in which to
reply to them. He took the ground
that Mr. Sewall's proposition was not
Democratic doctrine, end belonged in
the St. Louis instead of the Chicago
platform. The committee agreed with
him unanimously, and Mr. S-.'wall's
resolution was laid upon the table.
Every time the tariff bill is under
consideration by Congress Mr. Sewall
comes to Washington as a memlier of
a committee to secure high duties upon
ships, lumber, potatoes, hay and other
of the products of his State. He is a
uiemlier of the Americau Tariif league,
and Senator Frye, who, as everybody
knows, is one of the most radical pro
tectionists in America, is one of his
most intimate friends.
Whenever a bill proposing sulmidies
to American ships, or au increase of
ocean mails is before Congress, Mr.
Sewall appears with great regularity
to use his influence with Dem-cratic
members and make an argument be
fore the committee having the subject
in charge.
Mr. Sewall is the president and prin
cipal owiii-T of a national bank at
Bath, his native city, and it is under
stood he is also a large stockholder in
several of the national banks of Host on
aud Portland. The facts can be ascer
tained by an examination of the rec
ords in the office of the Comptroller of
the Currency. He is also a director
and stockholder in nearly every im
portant corporation in Maine.
Mr. Sewall is a director in the Maine
Central railroad, and until recently
was the president of that corporation,
which is the largest and most grasping
monopoly in New England. He has
b'enat work for years consolidating
and reorganizing and amalgamating
the short railway lines of New Eng
land, destroying competition, reducing
expenses aud concentrating traffic ar-
rjngem 'iits until he finally succeeded
in securing an absolute control of all
transportation privileges from Boston
northward. Under his management
the railway was operated with great
economy and profiL He is considered
a master in the science of getting the
greatest amount of labor for the least
PAy.
Mr. Sewall's family are Republicans.
His sou Harold was United States con
sul to the Samoan islands during the
Harrison administration, and was re
moved by President Cleveland at the
beginning of his term. He was a dele
gate to the St. Louis convention and
one of the most active adherents of Mr.
Reed.
Mr. Sewall fell out with the present
administration over President Cleve
land's policy toward the Hawaiian
island.". He is an ardent annexation
ist, and baa made many vigorous, criti
cisms upon what he deems to be the
sacrifice of American interests in the
Pacifies. He was a zealous friend and
, admirer of Mr. Blaine, and could al
era
ways be depended upon to keep down
the Democratic vote In Maine when
ever the latter waa a candidate for
office.
It will thus be seen that Mr. Sewall
is not exactly an ideal candidate for a
Populist ticket, particularly on such a
platform as was adopted last Thurs
day. He has not one single idea or as
piration in common with Mr. Bryan.
The two men are as far removed in
habits, conditions, convictions and ex
perience as two men could possibly be.
Mr. Sewall says be has been a silver
man ever since the old coinage laws
were repealed in 1S73, but if that is true
he has lieen very careful to keep the
fact a secret, for not later than last
month he participated in the election
of delegates to the Chicago convention
aud voted for a platform which de
clares as follows:
"We oppose the free coinage of silver
and favor a single gold standard unless
a different standard is adopted through
international agreements."
If Mr. Sewall was sincere then he is
insincere now.
He admits that he is handicaped by
this declaration by himself and other
Democrats of Maine, but explains that
steps will be taken upon the return of
the delegations to their homes to Ar
range "a policy that will be agreeable
to all the members of the party in the
State." He says that Mr. Winslow,
the Democratic nominee for Governor,
who was a delegate to Chicago, will
take charge of thoe arrangements.
Mr. Sewall was not in any sense a
candidate for a place ou the tiokeL
He never dreamed of such a thing;
but in their search for a millionaire to
asxi.-t in the payment of campaign ex
penses Mr. Bryan's friends selected
him as the least objectionable among
the very few who were eligible for such
au honor. But if the goM-ip heard
among the older memliers of the Na
tional committee can be relied upon,
the managers of Mr. Bryan's cam
paign will be seriously disappointed
when they figure up the total of Mr.
Sewall's contributions. They agree
that he has never been a li!xral giver,
and, as one of them expressed it: "It
has always cost 2 in labor to dig one
out of old Sew all's barrel.
An Uncooked Egg Will Sot Spin.
A well-known sea captain was eat
ing bis luncheon of boiled eggs at a
downtown restaurant the other day,
when he surprised those at the same
table by calling to the waiter:
"Waiter, what do you mean by
bringing me uncooked egg?"
"The eggs have been boiled, sir,"
said the waiter.
"Boiled, non.-nse!" said the cap
tain. "See here, they won't spin," and
while many looked on he snapped the
eggs between his fingers, but he could
not make them revolve more than once
or twice.
"Bring some hot eggs right from the
water, waiter, and I will teach you
something," he said.
The waiter carried three freshly
boiled eggs to the captaiu. Taking
them between his thumb and second
fiiurer, the captaiu caused them to
spin freely.
"There," he said, "these eggs have
been cooked, but those others have
not," and to prove himself correct he
broke them all.
While breaking them he said:
"Every old sailoruian knows that an
uncooked egg can not be made to spin,
but a cooked one can."
Several who had heard the captain
ordered eggs and tried it themselves.
AU found that he was righL Wash

Artificial Sunrise-
Dairyman Wilder, whose milk-pro
ducing establishment is about ten
miles north of Santa Cruz, Ls one of the
most ingenious men in all California,
and has done what no other dairyman
ever attempted. E.vrybly thtth is
ever tried to milk a cow before day
light knows what a job it is. Bossy is
generally of the opinion that there is a
time for all things, and firmly objects
to being awakened and milked when
she thinks she should le asleep. Many
cows will refu-e to be milked to the ex
tent of kicking and lying down.
All of these troubles have been Dairy
man Wilder' s, and not long ago he de
termined to overcome them. In fact,
it was necessary that he should, as he
was often late iu getting milk to his
customers in Santa Cruz. It cost con
siderable money, but he has more than
made up for the outlay. At present he
has one of the finest individual electric
light plants in the State, and his cows
are as easy to milk as in broad day
light When the electric plant was in posi
tion aud ready for work there were
three big arc lights over the centre of
the yard where the cows slept at night,
and dozens of others fixed all over the
different buildings, the entire lot capa
ble of producing about ten thousand
caudle-jiower enough to make the
yard as bright as day. The plant was
of the best quality, and everything
was tried in the daytime before the
surprise was sprung ou the cows.
It worked like a charm. The bright
rays of the light bad no sooner teen
turned on than the cows commenced to
get up. Most of them looked surprised
to see the day break so soon, but when
the milkman arrived with his pail they
seemed to think it was all right, and
sto-xl perfectly still while being milked
The light also affected the poultry, for
the cocks commenced to crow, and the
hens went around hunting for nests.
Ducks, geese, dogs and cats were all
affected the same way, aud the whole
barnyard was awake at 2 o'clock in the
morning.
It has not proved a case of the ani
mals getting used to it, for they behave
the same way now after the art i flea 1
sunrise has been in operation for
several months. Poor lieasts, they are
in bli.-sful ignorance of Mr. Wilder'
shabby trick. San Francisco Call.

Tha "Crime of 1873."
From the Philadelphia Record. (Dcm ) -
Candidate Bryan announces that he
will open his Free Silver campaign in
New York, and that it will be an ag
gressive campaign from the start
This impties great courage on the part
of Mr. Bryan; for there are iu New
York some people who are quite cap
able of thoroughly exposing his Free
Silver fallacies, while there are few
people in that city, or in any other
part'of the east, who are likely to lose
their heads in listening to such rhetor
ical flourishes as the "crown of thorns
upon the brow of laUr" and "the cru
cifying of mankind upon a cross of
gold." Measured by the standards of
g'tod taste and ersuasive speech such
tropes and metaphors are, like Silver
ite coinage, worth less than 30 to I in
solid worth.
But in opening his campaign in the
East the Populist candidate will have
an opportunity, to correct some fatal
assertions and admissions in the Chi
cago speech by which he won a nomi
nation for the Presidency from a con
vention that was swayed by emotion
and passion throughout ' ita proceed
ings rather than by common sense.
The false rhetoric of the "Orator of
the Platte"' was shivered in fragments
when it came into contact with the
solid logic of Seuator David B. Hill.
In undertaking to reply to the argu
ment of Senator Hill that free silver
coinage would be a violation of the
rights of creditors Mr. Bryan asked
the unfortunate question: "Where in
law or morals he (Hill) can find au
thority for not protecting the debtors
when the Act of IsT." was passed,
when he now insists that we mibt pro
tect the creditors."
This is the "Crime of 1-7.'J" which is
cited as a justification for all the ex
travagances and wrongs with which
the Silverites threaten the country.
Thecrini" consisted in dropping theH
standard silver dollar from the coinage
by u ni verbal consent in the revision of
the laws of Congress that year. Now,
if to this act demonetizing the silver
dollar can be traced the alightest
wrong to any man, woman or child in
the land Mr. Bryan and his supporters
may find in it some excuse for th rent
ing to remonetize the eilver dollar
when it has fallen to nearly half its
bullion value in 1"3. If such wrong
can not be discovered, then is Mr.
Bryan left without a pretext for what
he indirectly admits to be an attack on
the rights of creditors in the attempt
to change the standard cf value.
Now, when the silver dollar was
dropped from the coinage, with every
body's consent, the metal in it was
worth 103 cents, or three cents more
thau the gold dollar. Who, then,
would have taken silver bu.lion to the
mint to have it converted at a loss into
this coinage? What person on earth
could have been wronged by omitting
the coinage of the undervalued silver
dollar? By melting down the silver
dollar in lVT.'J the metal in it was
worth 10-1 cents. By melting down
the silver dollar now the metal in it is
worth .VI cents.
That is the difference between the al
leged "Crime of ls73" and the colossal
crime in full contemplation of the Sil-
verites in H'S. So innocuous was the
demonetization of the silver dollar in
1V73 that the representatives of the
Pacific coast were in favor of it, every
man of them. They said that they
wanted the gold standard; that they
knew no other money than gold, and
that there was no use in keeping in the
coinage the old silver dollar w hen it
was never coined. The cry for the re-
coinage of the silver dollar did not
arise until the silver metal in it ha 1 so
much depreciated as to tie worth about
cents in gold, and the clamor has
grown louder aud louder the lower sil
ver has fallen in the market
While the demonetization of the sil
ver dollar harmed uo man, its remon-
etizatiou would cause a sweeping con
fiscation of values the enormous extent
of which would be incalculable. Every
holder of a deposit in a savings bank
or of a railroad share, every person
drawing a -salary for services, every
wage-winner and every veteran pen
sioner would be defrauded of half his
money. Mr. Bryan dimly perceives
the dreadful effect of free coiuage, as
his Chicago speech betrays; and he
seeks an excuse for it in the "Crime of
173," which is a mere figment of the
imagination. In the cars of thoe who
consider all the evil which would flow
from the success of the Populist policy
the confiscation and lass, the nation
al repudiation and dishouor, and the
desolation and wo that would be
brought to the hearths of millions of
innocent people the "crown of thorns
on the brow of labor" aud the "cross
of gold" rhetoric uf the Topulist can
didate has iu it a ring of frivolous pro
I'anilv. "Property."

The Demonetization of Iron.
Atlanta (Iht.) Journal. -
Alexamler P. Hull, of Atlanta, is a
strong K to 1 man. He doe not be
lie vo in half-way measures. The free
coinage of silver idea is too taiuo for
him. He is willing to see the Silver
ites and to go them 100 points better.
Here are his declaration, proposition
and argument :
"Having leen deeply Impressed by
the arguments of Jude Crisp, Bryan,
Stewart, Joue and otln-r silver lead..
er-i, and esjieeuilly grieved, shocked
aud horrified by the 'awful crime of
Is"..,' a so luridly depicted daily in
the columns of the Atlanta iotuUUtt
fion and other silver organs, I have
changed my views on the money ques
tion, and am ready to maintain tha
propositions following In joint debate
or newspaper controversy.
"I aeept the argument of the advo
cates of silver and agree with thtir
remedy as farjas it goe. However, it
does not go far enough. Let us have
plenty of remedy in fact, enough to
make debt and poverty things of th e
past, relics of the dark ages. I am in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of pig iron at the ratio of K to 1 with
gold by the United States alone, inde
pendently of all nations, and can prove
by the best authority obtainable that
such a policy ou the part of the United
States will 'raise prices,' 'put plenty of
money iu circulation' and give the
'honest debtor a chance to pay his
debts,' thereby making the whole
country prosperous.
"Now, iu the fir.-t place, it may be
urged by some 'who do not understand
the subject of staudard of value,' that
A fr.-e coinage act for iron would not
raise its price to a ratio of Vi to 1 with
gold. To them I reply that 'the stamp
of this government" aud the 'legal ten
der qualities' of the iron dollar would
instantly make the bullion value of
pig iron the same as the mint value.
'For who would part with an ounce of
this precious metal for anything else
than the mint value? ( Stewart, Jones
and Bryan.)
"Again, it may 1 urged that our
mint would be overcrowded with pig
iron. I reply that the price of pig iron
having been raised from $7.50 a ton to
a ratio of 19 to I with gold the world
over, 'no one would especially care to
carry it to the mints, since the mii.t
price could be obtained anywhere iu
the open market. (Atlanta Contitw
(ion.) Next it may be urged that gold
and silver would go out of circulation.
I reply, first, 'This is a mere assump
tion of the tools of the money powt r
which they cannot verify.' (Atlaula
Ctnttititti'tn i; second, 'Suppose gold
and silver do go out of circulation, is
there not plenty of pig iron to taka
their place and give the jieople plenty
of money?' t Bryan.); and, third,
'Siich an assumption mixes the ideas
of circulating medium and standard i4
values ; gold and silver would still !?
potential money metals, though not i
circulation, aud would lend their help
toward raising prices and causing ge
eral pnwperty.' ' Crisp. )
"Then, again, it may be urgtsi
against the pig iron standard of value
that wages would not rise in propor
tion to prices. The reply U, 'Wage
would be compelled to rise, since no
man would be fool enough to work for
II a day who could make ?1jj0 a day
picking up rusty nails and old horse
shoes aud carrying them to the mini
for coinage.' ( Hull. )
"In addition, it may be urged by the
money power, by the 'Wall street
sharks,' and the 'Bond street Shylocks'
that we could not alone go on a pig iron
ba-is without an international agree
ment. 'To such dastards as dare to lay
a limit to the power of the American
peopU to do what they please, inde
pendently of all naiious, I hurl their
cowardice aud lack of patriotism back
in their faces.' ( Bryan. )
"The 'crime' of demonetizing pig
iron took place about 2200 years ago,
when certain 'goldolators' aud 'silvvr
ites,' iu order to increase the purchas
i: g power of their ill-gotten wealth,
secretly and 'like thieves in the night'
got the demonetization act passed, re
pealing the good old free coinage act
of Lycurgns, the 'friend of our ances
tors' daddies.' 'To-day China is the
only country on earth honest enough
to coin iron, and there the happy la
borer can carry home the wages of his
honest toil in a wheelbarrow.' ( Atlau
ta OjH.tittlfio:l.
"A ruinous fall in prices followed
the demonetization of iron and has con
tinued for upward of 2tX) years. I
have calculated the losses eutailed up
on the honert people of this world by
that ruthless act, but the figures are so
enormous I fear a revolution will ensue
if the people learn how greatly they
have been roblied. But facts are facts,
aud the best way to right a wrong is
to meet it squarely. That loss U

( Coin's Financial School. )
"In conclusion, I insL-t that the frxe
coiuage of pig iron will do everything'
th-.t is claimed tor silver and infinitely
more. The peopte will be rich and
prosperous. The once poor man cau
pay his debts with his old stove. Rail
roads cau declare a dividend on old
rails and worn-out rolling stock. The
small boy can pick up old nails and
horseshoes enough to support his fam
ily. In fine, poverty and debt can no
longer exist."
A Traveling Crematory.
A traveling military crematory has
been invented to dispose of the bodies
of soldiers killed iu battle. It look,
says the Buffalo Express, very muah
like an army oven on a large scale, and
is drawn by eight horses. The invent
or (a Polish eugiuet-r) claims that this
arrangement would obviate any epi
demic arising from the burial of many
bodies in one piaesj during a eanipaign.

All meat that is declared unfit for
food by the official inspectors iu Londou
is immediately removed to the con

meat is first slashed and disfigured, and
then subjected to a chemical bath
which has the effect not only of discol
oring .snd deodorizing it, but also of
stopping decomposition.
