Whenever clear vision at a proper dis. tance becomes difficult, it is proper to seek the aid of glasses. They become to the overburdened muscle of the eye as much of a necessity as food to the empty stomach, or a cane or crutch to him who has not the full power of his legs. There is no advantage in delaying their use. Call on or mail a postal card to CHAS.

Increasing trade r cquiies more shelving in Judgw Healy’s store. With a view to impiess its employes with the idea that there is a sufficiency of gold in circulation the Wabash pay car recently paid them off in that metal. The transaction was so gauzy, however, that the men readily understood the motive that was at the bottom of the affair. Summer Resorts On the Monon. The Summer Resorts on the Monon Route are more than usually popula. this year. West Baden and French Lick Spri gs, in Or. ange county, are overflowing with visitors, aid the hotels have all they can do. Paoli, the county seat, has opened a new sanitariu n, which is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially in their constituents, and are successfully prescribed for a great variety of maladies. The woods in the neighborhood abound in game and all the streams teem fish, some of them having been stocked by the government fish commission. All indications point to West Baden (and the neighboring springs) as the great sanitarium and popular summer resort of the west. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favorite picnic and outing spot, where the Monon has a fine wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is ffrst rate.
Republican district chairman McCoy is very indignant over the reported interview in which he is said to have given out the existence of a strong silver sentiment among republicans in this neighborhood. The sentiment exists, whether he gave it out or not, therefore he should not fly into a passion. The long experience of Judge Healy in the Boot and Shoe trade should give him a prestige enjoyed by no other. His stock has been selected with care and backed by good judgment, and his prices can not fail to please. Farmers should note the cairicatures made ol them by Us Gold-Bug press— Boitocrat and Republican— aud resent by voting the Democratic ticket. Vote for Bryan and compel a proper regard and respect from the Bvpubo-D udocratit combination. Prove to the m that in this land of free schools, intelligence is not cen tered in the moneyed oligarchy—nor correct business qualifications confined to bankers and bond-brokers. Remember 1 that in order to restore the coinoge system of the country to what it was before the demonetization of silver it is necessary to secure a majority of the members of congress in sympathy with the movement. Vote for Martin T. Kreuger.

The Concentration of Wealth. “Many cite the concentration of wealth in a few hands as one cause of the farmer’s poverty, but is not that worse in other countries with different systems?” There is no country of high civilization in which it is so bad, except per-

from an unwilling witness. Early in 1803 Hon. Roswell G. Horr, tariff editor of tho Now York Tribune, started out to prove that protection did not create millionaires. Under his direction a very careful census was taken in every part of the
United States by The Tribune’s agents. The lists were published weekly in The Tribune for correction and then compiled in a pamphlet. Tho number exceeded 4,000 and was soon proved to be entirely too small. Mr. Horr succeeded in proving to his

own satisfaction that only 1,300 were manufacturers. “And how were the rest made?” The enormous land grants and subsidies to railroads made a few dozens like Stanford, Crocker and Huntington. The sudden growth of western cities due to the hothouse system of forcing development made a few hundreds. Dozens like Jay Gould and his fellows were made by the system of railroad wrecking. Many were made by speculation in gold and government bonds, by the national banking system and many other schemes fostered by government. A few—very
few, it must be admitted—were honestly made by legitimate enterprises in which the government was not a partner, and many by the advance in real estate in our great cities. Many 1 others have carried the investigation much farther. Thomas G. Shearman, Esq,, the grea4
Puck.
lawyer, has oonolturively shown that some 80,000 men own or absolutely control one-half the property of the United States; that 100,000 men own half the remainder, and that the great mass of laboring producers actually own very little if any more than they did in 1860. The results are simply awful. Ten men in New York city today hold the credit of the United Status absolutely at their mercy. If it were to their interest, they could tomorrow sweep away the gold basis and precipitate a panic in Wall street But the farmer is told that all this is none of his business and is expected to be controlled in his vote by the gold superstition. The Gold Superstition. * ‘How can there be a gold superstition? What do yon mean by such a phrase?” I mean just what the words imply—that a largo portion of the human race
has become possessed with the notion that gold is infallible, a notion as degrading in its way as the African snake worship. Nine-tenths of the gold monometallists in this country boldly proclaim that, while all other commodities change in value, gold does not. ‘.‘We know,” the savages say, * ‘‘that Mumbo
Commercial Advertiser.
Jumbo is ugly and we believe that he is great” We laugh at the poor heathen, but the argument is on their side, for it never has been mathematically proved, and it cannot be proved, that Mumbo Jumbo has not great power ir the unseen; but it has repeatedly been' proved in every way open to the humar Intellect that gold is a shifting and un stable standard of value, far more unstable than silver, and that twice within the memory of men not very old it has changed in Value so suddenly as U. vitiate all long time contracts and disall industrial oonditi"~.

In 1860 there were alleged to be in this nation a dozen millionaires. Today there are at least 6,000 and probably many more. On this point wo have u n i m peachable testimony and

The bride and groom are well known in Rensselaer society, and universally esteemed.
Meade 8. Hays, Esq., of Fown ler, Democratic candidate for Prosecutor for this judicial Circuit, called in to bee us yesterday. He is a young gentleman of fine attainments in the law, and we are pleased to note that hie prospects of success are good. McKinley advocated and voted for free coinage ot silver ; he advocated and voted! for the Sherman silver purchase] law; but at the dictation of his (party platform he ignores what he has done, and declares he will do so uo more exceptjwith the consent of foieign gold-bugs. Some tim 3 ago 1 purchased a set of “Ridpath’s World” and found it a completa general history in in every respect. It is charmingly written and an accurate and ready reference work.
