ACCORDING to the dispatches from Chicago Wednesday, wheat dropped two and three-quarter cents per bushel on account of rumored heavy shipments of gold to Europe. Other grain and all provisions fell off in proportion. That clearly indicates that the amount of gold in this country very largely regulates the price of the products of labor, both of the farm and factory. The men owning the gold end bonds, stocks, mortgages, etc., payable in gold are interested in securing the absolute adoption of the single gold* standard. It would give their money greater purchasing power, but it would be at the expense of all men who have labor or its product for sale. The men who desire to see the single gold standard adopted are few in number in comparison with the great mass of the people and are through felfish interests laboring for their own especial benefit. The great mass of the people—those who live by what they earn with their hands, their brain, or both, as is usually the case, are interested in securing bimetalism, or the use of both silver and gold, as primary or redemption money. Such a use of both silver and gold would increase the volume of money so that it could not be so easily cornered, and shipping a few million dollars out of the country would not lower the price of all farm products.

•TIT C. IIE is an old and homely sajing "If you lion't work you can't have." Everyone recognizes the truth of that saying and can easily test it either by experience or observation. That the principle is also correct and just no one will deny. If men therefore canuot have if they do not work, can not reap if they do not sow, c-trmot gather figs from thistles, is it light, that money—gold money, can be made to increase in value by simply lockig it up in an iron vault. Such is the case however. The men who own the money of the world are in a position that ley can lock a large part of it up and •men by proclaiming and maintaining a scarcity of money, make what they do use earn them greater interest and also Increase the purchasing power of the entire amount they possess. After the people have parted with farms, the products of their labor etc. at low prices, it is found that the locked up money has been taken out and quietly invested while the prices were low and that much money is in the country. Prices at once go up and theu the original holders of the money sell -the property back to the people at largely increased prices. They get all the money back and mortgages to secure the difference and to pay the interest the people toil and struggle. There are thousands who are injured to hundreds who are benefitted by such a course and the former have the remedy in their own hands, and it will go well wilh them in case they decide to and do acts for their own best interests.

•GALLAUDET, Ind., Marion Co., April 30, 1895. DEAR SIR:—I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war. At times unable to follow my vocation, that of a farmer. La3t fall I was so bad with my old trouble that I became very weak which continued until about the first -of December when your special agent Mr. T. D. Cotton called on me and insisted that I give your Liver and Kidney Cure a trial. I had taken in these many years every thing I could hear of and received no benefits. After taking one bottle of your medicine I found myself cured of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms^ of my trouble since. I continued its use for kidney and bladder trouble of which I was also a sufferer and at present believe I am entirely cured. I can heartily recommend your

Acme Kidney and Liver Cure to like sufferers. Yours Truly. G. D. CUMMINS. ACTON, Ind., Marion County, April 28th, ,, 1895.

S. A. D. BECKNER Greenfield, Ind. Dear Sir: I want to say to you that I believe you have the best Kidney and Liver cure on earth. I waa troubled for 16 years with Kidney and Liver disease, was unable to work a great deal of my time on account of chronic diarrhoea. I had tried several good physicians and could get no cure. About Jan. 19th, 1895, I was induced by your agent, Mr. T. D. Cotton to buy your Acme Kidney and Liver cure and after using the first bottle I found myself greatly improved. I continued the use and find myself entirely cured. In fact have had no trouble since taking the first bottle. This is for the benefit of suffering humanity. with great respect,

T. F. MUSE.

Steps should be takeq and that soon to suppress the,lawlessness that this place is infested with, where is the town marshall that was elected for that purpose?

Commencement at the M. E. church last Saturday night, attracted a large crowd. The capacity of the room fell far short'of affording even standing room for the ahkious throng. 15 graduates were on the program, 14 of whom participated in the contest, one being absent on account of sickness. The class of graduates as a whole presented a handsome appearance from the platform and each one of them handled their subject in a masterly manner. The New Palestine graduates were first heard, followed by those of the township. First honors for tha town Were awarded Miss Augusta Faut, and that of the township to. Miss Delia Manche. There is considerable diversity of opinion as to the judges decision in the town contest. Favoritism is freely talked of as is on all similnr occasions. But this much can truthfully be said thatjthe majority of them did exceedingly well. Deputy State Superintendent Cotton was present and made a somewhat lengthy address while the judges were making up their decisions. This was followed by the presentation of diplomas by County Superintendent Jackson.

VOICE OF APPROVAL.

DEAR FD THE HEART IS THE WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

Rev. Madison C. Peters Believes In Acknowledging Merit—Strew Flowers In the Path of Weary Feet We Have

Blamed Each Other tons Enough.

Rev. Madison C. Peters preached to a large and appreciative congregation at the Bloomingdale Reformed church, New York, on Sunday, June 30. He took for his theme "Encouragement." The text selected was Matthew xxv, 21, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. The preacher said:

Sweet to the human ear is the voice of approbation dear to the human heart is the music of approving lips. Everybody has burdens, and what we need is the spirit of helpfulness, words of encouragement. We have blamed each other long enough now let us praise. Praise your wife! Let your acknowledgments of her merits be felt and outspoken.

She may have ceased to expect praise, but it would do her good were she surprised some day by a tender expression of appreciation of all her care and toil and self denial Many wives are only upper household servants without the tipper household servants' wages.

Tell your wife how much money you have. Appeal to her intelligent judgment. No honorable woman will want to spend more than can be afforded. Every man in comfortable circumstances should keep his wife supplied with money for the disbursement of which she should never be required to give acoount. Your wife has a sacred right to some expression of appreciation of her unselfish devotion to your interests. Yon may all the while be full of loyal devotion to her, though for a want of comprehension of a nature more sensitive and more dependent than your own never give her any assurance of your appreciation. Many a husband boasts to others of the treasure he finds in his wife—he is really proud of her—but he does not care to spoil her by telling her so. Dr. Hoge tells of a husband who said: "I always take my wife's advice, but I never tell her so. She is a treasure. She is like a fine day which grows as it advances. I never knew her equal, but I never tell her so."

When did you give her a flower before? Ah, well, what matter when all is o'er? Husbands Too.

Wives, praise your husbands. If you let your husband feel that you think him a good husband, it will be a strong stimulus to his being so. As long as he thinks he possesses the character he will take some pains to deserve it, but when he has lost the name he may abandon the reality. Keats tells us that he has met with women who would like to be married to a poem and given away by a novel, but wives must not cease honoring their husbands on discovering that instead of being poetical and romantic they are very ordinary, imperfect beings.

Parents and Children.

Parents, encourage your children! Don't call them stupid. Don't ridicule them and so discourage them that they will not have any heart to do better. Many parents are wanting in courtesy to their children. They speak to them roughly, violently and insultingly and so inflict painful wounds on their self respect. Parents often refer to the faults and follies of the children, faults and follies to which they are keenly sensitive, of which they are ashamed and which it would be not only kind but just to forget. Never allude in jest to the personal defects of the children, nor mockingly humiliate them by adverting to their failures, or speak scornfully of their companions. Don't be tyrannical,thwarting their plans, and do not needlessly interfere with their pleasure. Don't expect old heads on young shou lders. Don't forget that you were once young, and don't impose on them unreasonable and fruitless sacrifices.

Children, encourage the parents. Honor them. Help them. Remember what they have done for you. ..Save them as many steps as you can. Make them comfortable in old age. Write to them often, if you can't visit them. Anticipate their wants and wishes. Remember, too, tliat a child's spotless name is while life lasts a father's truest glory and a mother's greatest joy. Young men or young women who are ashamed of, their parents because the brilliancy has faded out of. their eyes arid the roses have fled from the cheeks are base irigrates. Amid all the successes of the iiobie Garfield nothing stirred his energy more than the thought of the gratification that would be given to his mother's heart. He always found time to write a letter home and to tell her all that he was doing. An old minister once said: "I have seen men die, I have seen children die hut no death ever seemed so pathetic to me as the onei I have in mind now, of an aged mother. Her husband died and left her penniless with four children. She sewed, she made drawings, she taught, she gave scarcely any time to eat or sleep. Every thought was for her children, to educate them, to give them the advantages their father would have given them had he lived. She succeeded. She Bent her boys to college and her girls to school. When all came home, they gave themselves up to their own selfish pursuits. She lingered among them some three years, and then was stricken with mortal illness, brought on by overwork. The children gathered around her bedside. The oldest son took her in his anns. He said: 'You have been a good mother to us.' That was not much to say, was it? It was much to her who had never heiard anything like it before. A flush came over her pallid face, and with husky voice she whispered, 'My eon, you never said so before.'

Oh, friends 1 I pray tonight Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow. *The way is lonely. Let me fool them now. *.iKS Think gently of mo. I am travel worn. kly faltering feet are pierced with many a thorn. forgive, O hearts estranged, forgive, I plead. HThen dreamless rodt is mine, I shall not need

Schwerin admitted that the lumber was piled three feet high on the Colima's deck, but said the lumber was securely lashed to the weather. He was positive the lumber did not make the Colima top-heavy.

GOVERNOR ALTGELD'S MISTAKE.

.j

It May Cost the State of Illinois Fully 915,000. SPRINGFIELD. Ills., June 20.—Mem­

bers of the legislature have already began to return to Springfield for the extra session called by Governor Altgeld, but a serious contingency has arisen. It appears that the governor, omitted from, the list of subjects for consideration any mention of an appropriation to pay the expenses of an extra session. As the matter now stands, neither the house, or senate can employ any clerks, doorkeepers, policemen, janitors or other essential attaches.

Representative Berry said that he could see no way out of the muddle except the governor to prorogue the general assembly and issue a new call. To do this it may cost the state $15,000. Every member is entitled to mileage. This will average about $25 per member, and make a tojjal of over .$5,000. Then every member is allowed $50 a session for stationery, making a total of over $10,000.

gan to feel at first a sort of languor and listlessness, to disguise which I was compelled to bring into play all the strength of will I could command. The feeling grew upon me, however, and in a short time it took such possession of me that it affected my appetite and euu-ert insomnia. I approached my meals wirl-i a feeling amounting almost to nnuiPu, and my bed without horror at the rest less night that I was nearly certain wa3 before me. It was only by the strongest efforts that I was erribled to hide the change from people who camy mto my place of business, but my intimate acquaintances were quicker to notice it. I had arrived at a point where could no longer keep silent upon the subject, and speaking of it to one of my friends one day he suggested that I try Pame's celery compound. I purchased a bottle, and before I had taken a dozsu doses I knew that the suggestion was a good one, for I felt an improvement. I continued to use it, and feel entirely restored. My appetite is good. I sleep well, aud. instead of an irksome grind, my business has again become apleasure to me. You may put me down as a strng advocate of Paine's celery compound.

Yours respectfully, CIIAS. MACDONALD.
