Free Coinage. / Some of I he newspapers of especi- —- rOy )hr Ti’yp*‘blican pjrsuijioiv are using arguments, or rather naked assertions, to help kill free coinage. .One ot the most unreasonable assertion is that China is wailing for free .coinage to become a reality in the Uuited States so th?t the Chinese government can unload its silver into the United Slates and get in exchange for it our gold. A ^ittle thought as to the real truth will show this to be false. China has no gold money and does not want it, for the reason that it has no use for it. The OUK TICKET. Par The Next President, GROVER CLEVELAND. For Next Vice President, ISAAC P. GRAY. For Next Gov. of Indiana. Wm. E. N1BLACK. currency of Oriental countries is silver. The money they use is a com'posite metal resembling our coppers, and of «yd more intrinsic value. It is difficult lo conceive of any thing that the Chinese people would have less , jrte for than gold. But the attempt to scare The People l.y the “dumping ground” argument Las too ancient and fish-like an odor - -The same prediction has been made along with many other oraculat prophecies that remain unfulfilled in every silver debate since the Gold I ill n i mill |itnouslv demoqfixed si) yer in 1873. Even tlie grekt Join — - Gherman made one of his ablest ar - guments on the Bland Bill to prove that ouly the coinage of two million to four million dollars a month .“would run all of the good out of the .country” and make this country u “dumping ground,”etc..etc. Thepas"■sSgefcwci i* quoted ou him during the recent debate on the Free Coinage Bill, and in the light of the event i following his prediction they read iike a section out of one of Bill Nye’i letters and were'greeted with derisivo laughter. “You can fool some of Jiie people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all ef the people all of tint tiyie.” This is one of the times that jthe peopleware not ghosts of discredits being fooled by redded prophecies.

The report must evidently be considered a great criticism on Gov* llovev’s intentions. His object must have been to bring Mr. Murdock into disrepute simply because lie was a Democrat. Such is wrong. Even Bruce Carr do.dared Murdock’to be innocent. CWici.t-j well t Truly, wcndeis will ireVer cease!

Wheat, In 1864 ’CaJfc 156, brought, the - . nearly |3 for a single bushel. jSow a busnei brings omy about a redaction of over 300 per cent, and yet the blessed tariff was in force all ; that time. The Press, reasoning as it does, will have to account for the increase in the speed of horses by a silly | reference to Tariff. The McKinley idea would be, tax a horse to make him run. At least three papers in Southern Indiana have suspended publication in the last few days. Among them are the Crawford County Times, The Orleans Times, and the Worthington Clarion, The politicians for whom the papers were working would not “plank op,” and the editors did not have the grit to furnish the money by borrowing or otherwise, and the pampers simply went to the wall. Very' few local papers are self-sustaining. Most of them have to bo suppoited by the sacrifice of someone’s mjtney or credit, and yet there are people who think a proprietor ot a newspaper is blessed. Such people evidently know nothing whatever about such business. t The County Commissioners of Pike county have published under eaption of legal advertising a notice of order of busness. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each Regnlar Term of court they will cousider all claims against the county, which claims must be itemized and filed with the Auditor on or before the third day of the term. On Thursday, the fourth day, they will pass on applications for liquor license. On Friday, ithey will consider all Road and Bridge matters, and on Saturday they will attend to w scellaueous and iiiufittishyd business. They have made this arrangement so as to attend to nhc business with economy and dispatch. It is a good idea. If you do not inpwffTto p<A for the Democrat do^xfftakc it. we cannot afford to work every day and almost every night in a job office to make money to buy paper for you and then give it to you. Do you now understand that we ueed what is due us, and thal it is ours on a basis of honesty? Raise a thousand bu>hels of

wheat, sell it to a thousand different men, on (fine; then start out to collect it. Surras fate you will get behind. This is just the kind of work you delinquents are exacting of the Democrajs. Don't you know that you ouBhJMo pay up> Come, now, be faiFhlJty you make up an opinion! At seems & little queer that those republicans who shout the loudest lor a protective tariff high enough to shut out all the world, claiming that America can exist without any commercial dealings with the rest of the world, are the very men who oppose an American system of finance—the free and unlimited coinage of silver— basing their opposition upon the grouud that America cannot have free coinage without consent of the great commercial countries of Europe. We merely give this as a specimen of republican consistency.' Our readers can make their own comments. j Will the new Secretary of the | Treasury be a gold-bug or will he be a free coinage man? If Mr. Ilarri1 son decides the matter upon his own judgment he is ccrtaiu to be the former, but if lie takes the advice of some of the longest headed men in his party he will be the latter. But in either evout Benjamin Harrison, the candidate, will lose votes in the next national convention of his party, and that’s what’s the matter with Benny at this time. It looks now as if the fifty-first congress would come to an end before the committee which baa been for lo- these many mouths making an alleged investigation of the Pension office and Commissioner Baum, makes its report. It is thought that the report is held back to keep Baum in his place long as possible, as be is almost certain to be removed when the report goes to Mr. Harrison.

Commissioner of Pensions JIauni will soon issue a formal notice to all pension attorneys in compliance with the wishes of Assistant Secretary Bushev, in which lie will formally, warn theurvlurr any 'inflafilhiu^of^ rules or connection jpHnthe obnoxious printtHl etruUlvs now being issued to claimant^ and pensions mvHI be considered sufficient catise^luryWT recommendation to the Se/etary of the Interior for disbarment lx less than a year from the torri-' ble Tract tragedy Secretary Windom fell dead.

It would soon work a great hardship. Victims of the hard work enormous responsibilities of Treasury port-folio: Folgor,Manning, Windom, all within eight years. So Mr. Harrison will veto the free -coinage bill, will he? Well, he could do nothing that would be more beneficial to the democratic party.

Kttiue in the Wisconsin Stale Board «»t Health report for 1888: “For sometime! liave been of the opiuBon that one of the great props to the rum power i$£|e so-called ‘tonics’ and ‘blood purifier?’ with which our land is flooded. My attention was first called to this a few years ago when 1 was working In a drug-store in a no-Iieense town. One day 1 sold three bottles of ‘Scotch Plantation Bitters, to two men digging a cellar. I concluded either they were very sick or it was very weak medicine. 1 then sampled a bottle, and found it to be a bad mixture of bad whisky and bitter drugs.” Massachusetts healt t official report:—Whole numbt . of tonics or bitters aualyzed 47, with following results: less than 10% alcohol 10 % to 20 % 20 % to 30 % 30 % to 40 % “ over 40 % “ To understand just what this means a glance at the percentage of alcohol i in ordinary beverages, taken for hilarious purposes, in necessity: Bohemian beer 4 per cent, alcohol, Ordinary beer 4.6 “ “ Claret / 10.17 Champagne 12.24 “ “ Iu 7 16 17 3 4 f Sherry Port Holland gin Brandy and whisky 18.19 19.25 45 49 45.56 “ No wonder Dr. Kaine savs: “As non -alchoiic ‘blood purifiers’ they are a delusion; and as substitutes for whisky, they arc snares.” “It is safe to accept the dictum of experienced observers, that eoutinued use of alcoholic medicines poisons rather than purifies the blood.” A popular tonic that claims t(/ be a purely vegetable cxtrac. contains 4L6 per cent, alcohol. ''—-'v It is as strong as ordinary gin, whisky, or brandy, and yet it is advertised a6 a stimulus to the body without intoxication. Inebriates struggling to reform are told that they will find Us tonic and sustaining influence to the nervous system a great help to their efforts.” That is the sort of tonic the maximum dose of which is likely to land the victim in the police statiou.

THE EOT ABOUT TOTH. He Promulgates a few Separate Ideas ia a Tew Separate Paragraphs. “An old woman” used to be a term ol contempt, and yet, what a pleasant picture it may call up. There are those who have been soured and hardened by pain, disappointment, and failure—yes, and even by prosperity. They sneer, and taunt, and complain, having exaggerated every ill, and passed over every good without comprehending that it was good. A crabbed old man, a selfish, embittered old woman, what torment they are to themselves, and what suffering they inflict upon all with whom they come in contact. But there are others whose souls have ripened and sweetened even under the chilling winds of adversity. Those whom they loved have been taken from them; that which they most ardently desired has been denied them; that which they would not have chosen has been laid upon them, and out of it all they have extracted sweetness, patience, anu strength. These qualities draw to them the weak and the sorrowful, whom they send away with something of that: refreshment which the ailing must have felt who followed Christ when he laid his hand upon them. Next to mother the sweetest word in the English tongue is grandmother, and the child who has not known that tender, doting, and spoiling love has suffered an irreparable loss. The name calls up the fragrance of sweet herbs and old fashioned flowers, those which she tended and loved to look upon, walking up and down garden paths in the dusk of the summer evening with the white headed grand-chil-dren toddling by her side. It is synonymous with delightful stories

and brings back recollections of the tenderest eyes that ever shone through spectacles, the ample lap which was an ever present refuge in times of trouble. Grandmother intercession and grandmotherly indulgence—they have their place and part in all happy childhood. The perfect old age is that which is not forbidding and censorious, and the most delightful being in this world is the old woman whose life has been rich and fruitful. It is the summing up of a springtime of blossom and leafage, of summer ripening and the autumn harvest, The soul has gathered into its store-house the fruits of love and faith, courage, and purity, and fears nothing when the sky begins to lower and the winter is at hand. It has a beauty and a liveliness of its own. It is the consummation of living, the essence of feeling; the gold separated eternally from the dross, calm after tempest, and peace and benediction after conflict. * * * When one sees the truth and is fortunate enough to be able to recognize it, neither his politics, his religion, nor any other qualification should be permitted to interfere with what he is expected to teach as a promulgator of those ideas which are for the bettering of the social condition and the consequent enhancing of civilization. In this connection may I not truthfully remark that those who labor for the advancement of any religion that

elevates the good morals of mankind should never be opposed or criticised beyond that which will have the effect Of improving rather than damaging any of the work that has for its object anything that will better the human family? In view of this, I am constrained to think the Christian religion should not be criticised nor retarded. When I say this, I mean the religion itself and its effects. True, there are men and women who go beyond true politeness in their assertions when preaching the doctrines of the Master. These should be treated as over-enthusiasts, or cranks, or whatever you may desire to call them, just so you do not make yourself as impolite as they. But their good intentions and all they do for bettering a benighted world at home or abroad should be commended, extolled, and sustained. Wherever the Christian religion has taken a firm hold on a people, no matter how uncivilized, that people have been blessed. It has never failed, in any recorded instance, to civilize and refine. This ought to be argument enough to convince anyjone, no difference what his doctrine, religion, or inclination, that the promulgation of Christian ideas, should be carried to every nation and proclaimed by the orators of every clime. And it is our duty to better the condition of mankind

whenever and wherever we can. “Shall we. whose outs are* lighted With wisdom firm on high, \ Shall we to men bi «i?hted The lamp of lile leny i Salvation! O.eatfation! Thy joy ful sonni!. proclaim, TIM earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name.” * S' * The man who lias, however imperceptibly, helpful in the work of the universe, has lived. The plain man serves the world by his action, and as a wheel in the mechine; the thinker serves it by his intellect, as a light upon its path. Let the studen t not grieve too much because of unfit associates. When he sees how much thought he owes to the disagreeable antagonism of various persons who pass and cross him, he can easily think that in a society of perfect sympathy no word, no act, no record would be. The gentleman is the man who is master of himself, who respects himself and makes others respect him. The essence of gentlemanliness is self rule, the sovereignty of the soul. It means a character which posesses itself, a force which governs itself, a liberty which affirms and regulates itself according to the type of true dignity. Social circles of every kind are improved and elevated by the cordial touch of opposites. The rich and the poor, the cultured and the uneducated, the theorist and the practical man, the young and the old, the married and the single, the merchant and the mechanic, can help each other; and that society will thrive the best which brings them into pleasant and wholesome relations. Capital and labor are great contrasts, but only as they come together jn harmonious operation can the highest value of eithr be evolved. The calmness of real power is an utterly different thing from -the apathy of coldness and indifference. The first is perfectly consistent with strong passions and intense feelings; but coldness _ is not strength; apathy is not power. Sydney Smith says, *Tf there be

a man who has great passions which he can command and obey according to circumstances, such a man must in the end be greater than others of equal talents.” But to be thus greater he must have learned by long practice and experience when to command and when tt£ obey his passions, and must be accustomed to hold them with firmness and guide them with wisdom. , Ungraciousness is wholly opposed to all our ideas of good breeding. An ungracious person will never come up to our standard of a true gentleman or gentlewoman, although possibly well born and well educated. The sensation of insecurity and of being on the lookout for ‘some ill judged speech dissipates that safe and calm atmosphere which surrounds the truly refined. There is always a nervous dread of what may come next, and a feeling of constraint is geherated. Persons who are much iit the society of the ungracious foster insensibly a guarded carefulness as to topics likely to call forth a show of ungraciousness, and a cautious manner of feeling their way on a subject, so to speak, very trying to those having to practice it. Yet, with every care taken, the feeling will appear, and almost always when least expected, and on occasions seemingly calling for it the least. .

The only Protection that will effectually protect all people, all classes, all labor and all interests is that styled Self Protection 1 acquired only from a truthful knowledge of ways and means, legal and illegal, just and unjust, by which the burdens of government, profits of labor and industry, a& so unequally divided. That knowledge is power, and ignorance its slave, is forcibly illustrated daily in all walks of life, among all people, in all countries. Where knowledge is used as a power or a means for gaining wealth without labor or an equivalent therefor, it becomes necessary to deceive or keep in ignorance of such m ethods those from whom the wealth is taken; hen* it is that of the ten thousand newspapers printed in the Uni ltd States, less than ten are absolutely f re* and indej endent of the power or control of som e class, party or monopoly whose inter st it is to keep the great mam of peiple in ignorance of their methods.
