Fill op til. Wells.
In the early days of this town's exist
ence it was customary for two or three
property owners to join in digging wells
on the public roads in front of their res
idences. Happily this means of securing
a supply of water for domestic use was
in a majority of cases later on supersed
ed by digging wells on private property.
The public pumps remained, however,
until about 1870, w hen they commenced
to disappear and to-day only one ia to be
seen.
When the pump stocks were removed
most of the w ells were covered over w itb
plank, and in some cases w ith large flat
stone. Some of those covered with plank
are no longer secure and demand imme
diate attention on the part of the street
commissioner. It would be far better if
all of the old wells on the public high
ways were filled up with ground or
stone.

In order to offset Fee', service. Rock

Labor' Seal Crow of Thorn..
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
If the boy orator of the Platte bad
closed bis fervid peroration with the
words: You shall not press down upon
the brow of labor this Wilson tariff crown
of thorns" he would have uttered a senti
ment that would have found ringing re
sponse among the toiling thousands and
his sacrilege would have been more par
donable. Statistics, which are furnished in plen
ty, are not needed to prove that the Wil
son tariff has been a crown of thorns for
American labor. The most superficial
observation will suffice lo impress a can
did mind with this fact.
The report of the comraiwdoner of la
bor for the United States covering the
period from to June 30, ISM, shows
that during the year and a half under the
Wilson law the loss of wages to employes
was fl5.S79.0H3 more than under two full
years of McKinley protection, and that
242,245 more employes were made idle by
strikes and lockout, under Wilson tariff
than nuder two years of protection. Five
million spindles in New Englaud are
idle. Statistics from 57 trades in New
York city August 4, 1B, showed that
30,177 were out of employment in those
trades alone. Returns from 100 manu
facturers in the state of New York show
that where 22,026 people were earning
wages during 112 there were only 17,4.-0
person, employed during 1&R, a decrease
of 21 per cent. Coming down to 1X4,
steady work was given to only 12.650 per
sons, a decrease of 42 per cent, from 18SI2.
During the last year of the McKinley
tariff Europe bought 700,870,822 of our
goods w bile we purchased goods to the
value of fc26,077.H3 in Europe, leaving a
balance of f4ikj,7.2,357 in favor of Ameri
can labor. During the first year of the
Wilson law we sold Europe fJ4,503,4!i2
worth of goods and bought European
products to the value of f411.514,024. leav
ing a balance or only fjng.Att.t'B in our
favor. The difference" between the ll
ance under the McKinley law and the
balance under the Wilson law isf3i2,ffl,
4s!, one of the "crowns of thorns" that
have been pressed down upon the brow
of lal)or.
Exports of all agricultural products
Lave fallen off in 1S!5 at the rate of f 150,
(100,0110 a year as compared with 1XT2.
American farmers captured 20 per cent,
less of the markets of the world in Its
than they possessed in lKd In the latter
year, under protection, the products of
the farm represented "s.69 per cent, of
our total exports. The proportion for
1K was 11.14 per cent. less.
From the most reliable statistics ob
tainable it is estimated that for the
twelve months previous to the abrogation
of McKinley reciprocity treaties w ith Cu
m and other Spanish-American coun,
tries there were shipped from
America about 3,250,000 barrels of flour,
equivalent to 15,01 0,000 bushel, of w beat.
This trade is now entirely alxmdoned,
the duty on American flour having been
raised from 82 cents per barrel to 85 per
barrel.
In 1S5G, under the McKinley tariff, we
exported l;l.ai9,lo2 bushels of wheat.
In IMtni, under the Wilson law w e export
ted only 40,M,547 bushels of wheat.
Live stock that was worth nearly !,
WW, 000, 000 on January 1, 18C, under Mc
Kinley protection was worth i733,S2f,5!'4
less money to farmers exactly four years
later, under the Wilson tariff law. The
annual loss to the farmers en crops for
the same period is estimated at $7K,
721, P79, making a total loss to the farmers
of 1,412,551,473.
This gives Lut a faint suggestion of the
size and weight cf the "crown of thorus'?

ABSOLUTELY PURE
McKinle y'e Call to Honor.
Caxton, C, Aug. 12. Major McKin
ley was at home to-day to surviving com
rades of bis old regiment, the Twenty-
third Ohio Volunteers. From several
States the old boy. came bere to meet in
reunion and to make a formal call on tbe
man who served with them.
Tbe survivors formed in line and
marched to the McKinley residence.
Capt. John S. Ellen, of Willoughby,
made the address in behalf of his com
rades. In response to the address of
Capt. Ellen, Major McKinley said:
"I was glad to note in the eloquent
speech of my comrade Capt. Ellen, that
the old 23d Ohio stands in 1&K3, as it
stood in lHfil, fur tbe country and the
country's flag. (Great applause and
cries of "McKinley too.") Nobody could
have doubted that, knowing the metal
from which this old regiment was made.
My comrades, you are just as loyal to
country now as you were loyal to coun
try then; and, as you stood from '61 to '05
for the preservation of tbe Government of
tbe United States, you stand to-day just
as unitedly for the honor of the Govern
ment and the preservation of iU credit
and currency. (Cheers.)
"I do nut know what yon think of it,
but I believe it is a good deal better to
open the mills of the I'nited States to the
labor of America than to open up the
mints of the United States to tbe silver of
the world. (Great cheering and cries,
"You are right." ) Washington told us
over and over again that there was noth
ing so important to preserve as the na
tion's honor. He said that the most im
portant source of strength was the public
credit, and that the best method of pre
serving it w as to use it as sparingly as
possible.
"No Government can got on without it
preserves iU honor, No Government ta
great enough to get on without it. In the
darkest days of the Revolution Robert
Morris, iu financier, went to one of bis
friends in Philadelphia, after be had in
volved himself as a debtor for a large
sum of money on account of the Govern
ment, and said to him:
" 'I must have f 1.500,000 for the Conti
nental army.' His friend said: 'What se
curity can thee give, Robert?' He an
swered: 'My name and my honor.'
Quick came the reply: 'Robert thou shall
have it' (applause), and from that hour
until now the country", honor has been
our anchor in every storm. Lincoln
pledged it when in time of war we issued
paper money. He said:
" 'Every dollar of that money shall be
made as good as gold,' aud it was left to
Rutherford B. Hayes, your old Colonel, as
President of the United Sutes, to execute
that promise in the resumption of specie
payuienU in lsTSl (Cheering and ap
plause.) i
"When Robert Morris said that they
had nothing to give bnt their honor,
there were behind his word three mill
lions of struggling patriots. To-day be
hind the nation's bonor are seventy mill
ions of freemen who mean to keep this
Government and iu bonor and iutegrity
and credit unquestioned. (Great ap
plause,) "I thank you, comrades, for this call.
Nothing has given me greater pleasure;
uothing gives me greater prido than to
have been a private soldier with you in
that great civil war. (Applause). It will
give Mrs, McKinley and myself much
pleasure, I assure you, to have you come
into our home." (Applause and three
cheers for McKinley.)
After the address the caller, were intro
duced to Mrs. McKinley. They went to
the lawn and enjoyed cigars. Gen. and
Mrs. Hastings lunched with Governor
and Mrs. McKinley.
Tbe Former Sutue of Silver.
The following reply by the editor of the
Philadelphia Press to a correspondent, is
interesting at this time:
To the Editor of the Philadelphia Press.
Sib: 1. What was the condition of sil
ver as a medium of exchange prior to
173?
2. What was the act that demonetized
same and what was the effect?
3. Why did the United Sutes coin and
issue tbe trade dollar, which only had a
purchasing power of N" cents? Who got
the remaining 15 cents?
4. lses tbe United Sutes have the p ro
nton tbe difference Ix-tween the bullion
value and purchasing value of a silver
dollar?
A Cqsstast Reaper.
Germautown, August 14,
Prior to 1873 there bad been coined
siqce tbe foundation of the Government
H,:i,3:!8 sUndard silver dollar. They
were not in circulation, because they
contained too much silver, as tbe Id to 1
ratio made the dollar worth 103 cenU
each at the then price of silver. From
17U2 to 1S53 there was fractional silver
coined to the amount of 87(5,734,904. This
being of full weight did not suy in cir
culation, Iteing more valuable to melt or
export than to coin. In lNVl tbe frac
tional silver coinage was made light
weight, and between that time and 1S73
f Vt,047,.'B5 in subsidiary silver were coin
ed, some of which is still in circulation.
The total silver coinage of all sorts by the
United Sutes prior to 173 was 8143,MV
371.70. Since 173 and the supposed de
monetization of silver the United Sutes
his coined fV)2,tA744 in silver. It has,
in addition, uncoined silver bullion in
the Treasury for which it has issued
Treasury notes, which circulate as full
lejal tender money to the amount of
II 15,10,9 10.
2. Dropping the silver dollar froiu, (he
list of United SUtea coins had at t)e
tjme no piactical effect whatever, since
the coins were not current and even tbe
silver bullion seller, did not wake up to
the fact until several year, after, when
silver had become cheap and they saw
that they could have made point If tbe
mint had been still open to the unlimited
coinage of tbe old silver dollar.
3. The United Sutes coined and issued
the 420 grain trade dollar for use in the
Chinese trade. It was hoped that they
would Uke the place of the Mexican
dollars in the Chinese trade. They were
originally made legal tender in sums of
five dollars, and when silver declined
some of the trade dollar, remained bere
in circulation. To discourage this Con
gress took away their legal tender quali
ty and a few years later there began to be
a predjudice against them and they
dropped to their bullion value, which
was then about 85 cents. Every one who
Jet a trade dollar go out of bis bauds for
jess than par lost the difference, for the
Government redeemed them all at par in
standard silver dollars.
4. The United State, does have as
profit tbe difference between the bullion
cost and the legal tender value of jt$
rer coins. Under free coinage tbe bul
lion owner would pocket this difference,
in addition to tbe usual profit on be sale
pf bullion.

The Fear of Thunder.
Electric storms are far less dangerous
than tbe majority of tbe people Imagine,
write. Edward W. Bok in tbo Ladies'
Home Journal. That a severe lightning
storm i. terrifying admiU of no question,
and will sometime, bring uneasiness to
tbe heart of the strongest mau. But the
real danger is alight. Tbe chance of
lightning striking, bouse, for example, ia
not one in a million. Particularly is thia
true in cities, strung as most of them are
with electric wires. Tbo greater danger
from electric storms ta in the country,
and even there the danger may be lessen
ed If tbe simplest and most common
sense precaution, are exercise!. Tbe
Barest electric conduction is a draught,
and if, wben a thunderstorm approaches.
It i. seen that all window, and door, li
able to occasion a draught are kept closed
the danger is at once reduced to a mini
mum. If a woman is "caught" out in a thun
derstorm the safest shelter is a house; the
most dangerous a tree, particularly an
oak tree. It is peculiar, but nevertheless
a proven, fact, that tbe oak ta the most
suscept ible of all the tree, to a current of
electricity. Over fifty per cent, of trees
struck by lightning storms during one
summer, the Government statistician
tells us, were oaks, while the beech tree
was tbe least harmed. Therefore, the
worst possible place of shelter during
the electric storm is under an oak tree,
while by all odds the safest place is in a
house and out of a draught. Tbe actual
danger ( from an electric storm) is, in
truth, not from the lightning nor tbe
thunder, but from the nervous condition
into which women al low '.heinselves to
falL And this is a danger which they
can avoid. A little calm thought and a
few grains of common sense will do it.
