THE Cleveland program has succeeded v-n making the products of labor aud the £arm much cheaper. They are cheaper han they ever were before but people are ratot enjoying them in such great abundx&aace
as heretofore because they have not 47/kwherewithal to buy them with. The are very cheap but money is very artgli, and if Cleveland could get his $5*00,000,000 gold bond scheme through it •would make all kinds of goods and labor v. reaper, while gold would get higher and alee life harder.
A HALT has been called on the single Id standard craze. The Democrats 'isa-ve lost control of the Senate and that ieody now stands favorable to silver. SLleveland's bill to sell $500,000,000 worth •Mi U. S. bonds, payable principal and in~*r.rest in gold, to run fifty years, was deadly defeated in the House. The Amerpeople will go no further in passing Zmws
to ruin their property and business safcerests and make the citizens of the 7-~sited
Jifi of annual interest charges payable ea gold, as is now the case of America. 3me .might as well expect a man to be Tspigorous who is having his heart's blood Gained from him. This country will •Sice again be prosperous until we restore -free coinage of silver, and 16 to 1 is "±*.e proper ratio now, and make it primary money as it was from the foundation .:*£ -this government to 1873. Silver was dollar unit or standard of value up •raitil 1873, let it be so again and prosper.will once more abide with the Ameripeople.
EDWARD ROBY and Edward A. Shedd, :y)2
Roby Indiana, have sent a circular to ~-jhB General Assembly and to the news--pagjers over the State that displays an uniioilted amount of gall. They are posing ass a law abiding, peaceable citizens whose acSsaracters and property interests have "Ziesen damaged by what they claim was an iOffilawful act of the State of Indiana, in swsmding ihe miliatia to Roby last summer iwsi put a stop to the infamous conduct of titue lawless elements of gamblers, prostitasafces and hoodlums generally, who were "finaaking and defying the laws of the
Stafcte of Indiana. If some of the local sKdt'horities were not in collusion with sapid lawless elements they were powerless act, for nothing was done to protect -name and fame of the fair State of JLevdSiana. The idea of Roby and Shedd ~&fe&imhig that the Roby Athletic Association was not for the purpose of carrying 3*SL Ajflisreputable and unlawful business
Sss ridiculous, when everyone in the State JStmews it was organized because the gang -moss not toleiated in Illinois and they conthat they could do as they please .at .Etoby, under a lay which was smuggled ^fcsmigh the Indiana^Leglslature, under management of that Democrat leader ^Senator Mcllugh. The people of Indiana aaoa.law abiding and if Roby, Shedd and .Ufaminick C. O'Malley have lost money trying to establish a disreputable and -«usi&awful business in this Stat?, the peovpLs'wiH say it served them right. They :-3&K*ild be taught a severe lesson and then ^wsqaember that the way of the transaapessor is hard.

THE cartoonists are giving it to Cleveland and Carlisle at present. The latest represents them in a small cart with the Democratic mule just a humping himself and trying to escape from a gang of wolves labeled "trouble." The occupants of the cart are badly scared, and Cleveland has just thrown a package of bonds, $62,500,000 to the hungry pack to hold them in check. The blood suckers in the rear, however, have their hungry eyes fixed on the American Republic and are bending every effort to secure bonds with int rest and principal, payable in gold.
CLEVELAND has been compelled to show his hand iu the latest bond deal. The Democrat leaders are now trying to force a bill through Congress for enough bonds to carry out Cleveland's deal with the foreign money lenders. By his contract he gave these London Jews a mortgage on all bonds issued up until next October.
The frieuds of Cleveland claim that is a good idea as it assures the Government that it can dispose of future bond issues on equally favorable terms to itself. Oh yes, the terms obtained were remarkably favorable, the bonds are being taken from the foreign capitalists at 1.12£ or a net profit to the Jews of a clear 8 per cent. Why not let the Government make that profit if bonds are inevitable Shall these bond buyers be given an 8 per cent, profit on all bonds issued up to October 1st, next. That is Cleveland's policy.

HOW TO RENEW A STRAWBERRY BED.
Sensible Suggestions For All Who Cultivate This Luscious Fruit. There are two ways of renewing strawberry beds besides the one of resetting entirely. Of late the best growers try to get the heaviest possible crop the first season after the vines come into bearing and then plow up the vines and reset or put in some other crop. Others are beginning to adopt the plan of mowing the vines after the crop is off and after they are dry, raking them between the rows and burning them and then working the soil very close to the old rows with cultivators, and hand hoeing in the rows so as to give the runners a chance to find well fined soil in which to start the new growth.
Still another plan is to work the soil up between the rows, as above stated, and as soon as the runners have spread out between the rows and taken root the old vines aro cut off with a sharp hoe and new rows established between where the old ones were, tlie space occupied by the old rows being worked up with the cultivator. Either of these plans is good and practicable, and for small patches we think them preferable to resetting altogether. Strawberries tr.ko kindly to fertilizers, and it is possible to grow very largo crops if they I are attended to in a proper manner and at the right time. No farm garden should bo without a few rods of these berries.
How to Estimate For Wall Paper. As most wall paper, when trimmed, is 18 inches wide and 24 feet to the single piece, a piece will contain 8(5 square feet. Measure the length and height of each wall in feet and multiply. Add together the number of square feet of each wall, getting the total number of square feet. Divide this total by 536, which will give you the number of pieces required for side wall. Allow one-half piece of paper for each door and window To allow for waste in matching it is safer to divide by 33 instead of 36 To find the number of single pieces required for ceiling multiply length by width in feet and divide by 33.
Bow to Clean Woodwork.
It often happens that the woodwork on doors, particularly near the handles, will become quite dirty and badly stained by the frequent running back and forth of careless children. In these cases it is sometimes found impossible to remove the niarlr^ with cold water or without the use of .soap, however undesirable. If this occurs, throw two tablespoonfuls of pulverized borax into a pail of hot water and wash the paint with it. Do not use a brush, but if found impossible to remove tho marks in this way then soap must be reso"fed to Rub the soap on the cloth and then sprinkle over the soap dry borax and rub the I spots faithfully, rinsing with plenty of water. By washing woodwork in this way the paint will not be injured, and the borax will keep tlie hands soft and white. Borax is not half as freely used in domestic labor as it would be if all its usefulness were better known. Its help in increasing the cleansing proper ties of soap aud at the same time correcting its corrosive tendency is one of its most valuable properties.
I How to Remove Moth Patches. I One of tho standard remedies for moth patches is taraxacum, or extract of dandelion. A common prescription is one large pill of taraxacum four nights in the week, sometimes for a period of months. The diet must be regulated to secure good digestion. Then apply a prescription made up of elder flower ointment an ounce and sulphate of zinc 20 grains. This should be mixed well, rubbed in at night and washed off in the morning with plenty of soap and water.
When the moth patches are removed, a wash should be used regularly to prevent their return. A good lotion for this purpose contains 2 drams iodide of' potassium, an ounce of glycerin and a pint of rainw ater. It should be applied with a soft sponge..
How to Apply Court Plaster to Slight Wounds. Court plaster should be used only as a protection for a wound. It has no curative powers whatever, save in this indirect way.
There is then only one class of wound where we may avail ourselves of the simple treatment of court plaster. This is the incisive wounds. If used promptly and properly, it will be very effective. Little strips of plaster to draw the two edges together will be sufficient.
In cases in which there is a possibility of poison or infection being present in the wound, or which are characterized while healing by any increase whatever of tissue substances, the employment of court plaster should be strictly prohibited, for it will almost invariably cause festering and an increase of mischief.
With all oourt plasters, whether "medicated" or not, if applied to a broken surface in which there is only inflammation, however slight, a process of decomposition and ulceration will be set up which will disappear only with the disappearance of the plaster itself.
How to Soften StlflT Shoes.
The following treatment will makw pliable the stiff shoes that have been put aside to dry after a thorough wetting: First wipe off gently with a soft oloth all surface of water and mud then, while still wet, rub well with paraffin oil, using flannel for the purpose. Set them aside till partially dry, when a second treatment with oil is advisabla Tbey may then be deposited in a conveniently warm place, where they will dry gradually and thoroughly. Before applying French kid dressing give them a final rubbing with the flannel still slightly dampened with paraffin, and the boots will be soft and flexible as a new kid and be very little affected by their bath in the rain.
How to Destroy Black Ants. Boil 4 ounces of quassia chips in a gallon of water for ten minutes and add 4 ounces of soft soap. Sprinkle in the places where the ants congregate.
