THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE. THE CRAWFORDSVILLE REVIEW is doing all in its power to elect a republican in the 9th district. THE REVIEW may not want a republican elected, but when it opposes Joe Cheadle, it opposes tt.e only man who can be elected on the democratic ticket.—Rockville Tribune.
Why THE REVIEW, which is democratic, and has always supported democratic men
and
democratic measures,
should be expected to support a man for congress who is not a democrat, and Bays he is not, is something beyond our comprehension. Neither Landis nor Cheadle are democrats, therefore w^y expect a democratic publication to support them? One is the present republican congressman from this district, the other is the populist nominee for congress. What entitles either of them to democratic support? Time servers and policy men may favor as their candidate an individual one-fifth democrat and four-fifths republican, but we don't and we wont. We desire the whole hog or no meat. Such a democrat may be with us to-day, but to-mor-row elsewhere. Why should a party having seven voters to one of another, yield to it in the matter of a nomination for congress? If there are honors in the nomination surely the seven should have the choice in the matter. Why not nominate a straight-out, thorough going democrat instead of going over to support a populist, or a silver republican or anything else you may choose to term him. We, THE REVIEW, support only known and tried democrats, and have always found it the correct plan to pursue, and at thip late day sec no reason for changing. Persons terming themselves democrats may consider that the correct plan is to support any one for an important political office regardless of past antecedents, but we do not. Our observation is that the most zealous followers of the populist nominee and who desire him to be considered the democratic, are, generally speaking the Uth hour democrats and are quite new in the faith. We are well satisfied now that the Tribune's especial pet ie farther away from an election than ever before, and see no reason for changing from the position we have always held.
Crawfordsville Day.
At a meeting of the county fair directors,one day last week, it was determined to set aside Friday, the last day of the exhibition, aa Crawfordsville day. It is aimed by
thiB
to induce murchants
and all business men to take particular interest in the fair on that day.

INVESTIGATE THE BOOKS. It has become quite common during the past few years for the books of the county and city treasurers in many parts of tha cpuntry, and also the accounts of other custodians of the public funds, to be examined by experts to see if errors to the disadvantage of the tax payers had not been made. These investigations have often been fruitful in errors turned up by them and in the shortage of the officials which they had developed. The county commissioners at an expense of about $1,000 have had the books of Ex-Treasurer J. C. Hutton gone over They claimed that by this investigation a shortage of several thousands of dollars have beei discovered against Hutton. Now why not investigate the treasurer's office of the city of Crawfordsville? Who knows whether the books have been accurately kept and every account correct? Who knows but what in the handa of experts many gross errors may not be discovered? The treasurer's books of this city has been in the hands of republicans ever since this has been a city. Republicans have handled every cent of the money paid over for taxes and made every disbursement of the funds demanded. No wrong can result from an investigation, but on the contrary much good may be brought about through it. The people are paying high enough taxes the Lord knows, and a small portion of it can assuredly be well spent in ascertaining just what has become of all the money for several years past. If no good results from it assuredly no harm can. Let there bean investigation of the books.
HERO WORSHIP.
The country is witnessing a great deal of hero worshiping just now, Admiral Dewey being the subject. They are finding kinsmen of his now in every State of the Union, people that never heard of him before nor he of them probably. There are even peopie in this county now who claim blood relationship with him that probably never heard of him until after the naval li^ht in Manila harbor. This looks disgusting, even nauseating. Had Dewey been defeated it would have been entirely different. He would probably have been denounced even as a "traitor" hud the Spaniards bav edefeated him. and no one would have cared to have heard anything about him. We are entirely too much given to hero worship. It was the same during the civil war. We should wait. We should remember that other nations have great fighteis, and that other nations have larger navies than ours.
"TWO HUNDRED AND A CLUB." Postmaster Bonnell, the boss of the republican party in thi6 city, is credited with saying that with "Two hundred dollars and a club" he could force all disgruntled and dissatisfied republicans to march up to the polls and vote the straight republican city ticket. No doubt the man meant ju6t what he said, and measured the disaffected of his party correctly. Those same poor devils who sold their votes will be calling on the township trustee next winter for aid to support their families. That many of them sold their votes there is no question, judged by the observations of many persons around the polls last week. These same men by their votes aid in continuing the present high rate of taxation. That there are enough of them to be moved with two hundred dollars and a club" is evident from the result of the election.
TURN THEM OUT.
If the new city council would throw out a dozen or more of those old barnacles, always hanging about the city offices begging for positions, it would do a wise and welcome act. Kick them out and give the jobs to those worthy and who are not importuning councilmen for petty positions. The man starting in with office seldom ceases during life to always be looking for something where the pay is sure and the work light, and is rarely any account after holding down a job for a few years. The new council can set a good exampie by promptly turning down those old timers and giving the jobs to others who are probably fully as worthy atd competent.
THE CAUSE.
The cause of the entire defeat of the democratic city ticket the other day, is we consider, easy of explanation. Two years ago the tax-payers became thoroughly disgusted with Reynolds, Robinson and Myers, all republican councilmen, and desiring a reform in the management of city affairs and a reduction in taxation, thought they could bring this around by electing three democrats, who would be an improvement at least over the members turned down. They disappointed the people.
Hid VOII make your Gralu-O thin way? Here are the latest directions. Use aoe tablespoonful of Grain-0 to two cup.s of cold water. Mix the Grain-O with half an egg and add the water. (Be Bpre to measure.) After the water gets to toiling point let boil for fifteen to twenty minutes. Us# cream and sugar to suit the taste. If you hare not cream us hot milk.
A lady said: "The firBt time I drank Grain-0 1 did not like it, but after using it for ten days and forming the habit, no'hing would induce me to go back to coffee.'' This is the experience of all. If you will follow direction, measure it every time and make it the same, and try it for ten days, you will not go back to coffee.
VHE MEASURE OF VALUE
Some Plain Facts That Cannot Be Refuted.
EYIL OF CONTRACTION OF MONET.
If Value Is Measured In Hnman Toil, Then t|ie Demonetization of 8ilver Baa Robbed Labor of Its Due—Prices of Its
Products Cut In Twain.
It required the same labor to produce a bale of cotton in 1895 -that it required to prodnce in 1865 the same amount of hnman toil is represented by a bale of cotton now that it represented then. On page 8 of "An Honest Dollar," by E. Benjamin Andrews, president of Brown university, I find the statement made that the national debt on Sept. 1, 1865, amounted to about $2,750,000,000, and that at that time it would have taken 16, 000,000 bales of cotton (the human toil represented in 18,000,000 bales of cotton) to have paid the whole debt, and that after this debt had been reduoed to $1,250, 000,000—in other words, after there had been a payment of 55 per cent of the entire debt and all the interest due —it would have required 80,000,000 bales of cotton (the hnman toil represented in 30,000,000 bales of cotton) .to have paid the balance, or 15 per cent of the original debt.
If Messrs. Horr and Laughlin, both monometallists, are correct, if "human toil" is the measure of value, how can any honest man insist that there is any semblance of justice in compelling the payment of twice as much of "hnman toil" in the shape of cotton of a bond now as it would have taken to pay it when it was issued?
In an address made by President Andrews before the Manufacturers' club rt. Philadelphia, which was published on the motion of Senator Cockrell as a document by this body (the senate), this statement is made: "Between 1870 and 1884 the public debt decreased not far from three-quarters of a billiou of dollars, say $750,000,0U0. Yet if we take wheat, corn, beef, coal, cotton and bar iron together as a standard—and they make not a bad standard—the debt did not decrease, but increased not less tbau DO per cent." Mr. Horr's standard, then, of human toil "shows distinctly that the burdens of the people have been enormously increased by the silent and unseeu operations of unjust laws which do not deserve longer to disgrace the statute books of this great republic."
The era of lessening volume of money from the coming of Christ to Columbus was one of growing ignorance, tyranny, degradation it was a period of retrogression, notwithstanding the power of the Christian religion which had just been revealed to man. When an increased money supply created commerce, aroused mankind, stimulated ambition, created civilization, which in time widened into a system of education and enlightenment, it showed itself to be the most powerful aid to the great cause of Christianity, and more good, more advancement, was accemplisheu in the four centuries succeeding the discovery of the gold and silver mines in America by the Spaniards than was accomplished in all of the 15 centuries preceding it.
The constantly decreasing value of money proves a great blessing to mankind, perhaps more than compensating for the injuries which had been entailed by the opposite condition of a constantly decreasing volume of money during the first 15 centuries of the Christian era.
The evils which have been the direct result of taking away the money function from sil- er in 1873 it seems but natural to suppose would be immediately removed by a restoration of those functions and that this would bring about tbe/tfeondition of prosperity that existed prior to that time. A natural and simple remedy for whatever bad results have come from the legislation of 1878 would seem to be the repeal of that legislation. It was an experiment. Nothing like it had ever been tried before. Its results have been disastrous in the extreme. They have been beneficial in no single respect, and it seems that by oommon consent we should as promptly as possible undo the work. We are so conservative as a people that it is impossible to get prompt aotion on any strongly contested political question. The long struggle uver the tariff is an illustration of this. We have been persistently making efforts to repeal the act of 1873, and, although we have more than onoe passed free silver bills here they have been defeated elsewhere, but it is to be hoped that suocess is not to be much longer delayed.
Cnconscious Argument of Free Trade. The iron trade has always been supposed to be Great Britain's stronghold. The juxtaposition of her coal and iron mines gives her an advantage over all possible rivals, or so it was supposed. But a stiff .necked generation of Yankees would not be persuaded, and now the result is apparent. Liverpool buys tramway rails from America. Glasgow buys water pipes from Amerioa. Plymouth and Hull send to America for the equipment of their new electric railways. Other cities and towns in Great Britain are following the same example, and so are many in India and the colonies. Why? It cannot all be charged against the engineering strike, for many of these orders were.placed before the strike began. It is simply that the United States iB able to underbid Great Britain in her own market and in the very things the latter has made her specialty.—New York Tribune.
