McKinley failed under his tariff pleasure. Foster failed under his treasury methods of doing business, pndi Chase came to grief by his pat-pnt-applied-for method of banking. 4 great trio, this gang. Blood is liable to flow faster than Water on Main street if this cruel war between tjie jVeirs and Press continues over the banking question iu Petersburg. It is very foolish In the poys to attempt to mislead capitalists into the belief that another bank yroqjd pay in Petersburg, aud it ?ceimi to be mere tolly for the other paper to tell the people that it wouldn’t pay. THEplau to tax abnormal incomes pnough to pay the pensions is a good one. The old soldiers claim that when they went to the front capital promised them coippensgtion for loss of limbs, health, etc. That statement is generally accepted as true, and now let the plutocrats keep that pledge good if it was really made by them. The common people have enough to {lo to support the general government. The editors of the republican organs seem greatly agitated over the future of the democratic party and the situation at present of the aflairs of this country. Boys, you should reremember that the people .are still working under tjie laws enacted by the republican payty, and ail this excitement is duo to the dishonest methods practiced by the Xing bees of the republican party, McKinley, Foster, Phase and other members of the gang.

Anarchist A. Sparks, editor of the Mt.'Vernon Democrat, or in pther ■words the Postoffice Bulletin, has a very excellent list of subscribers in Jhis city. Mr. Sparks is an able writer and the boys of this city have considerable fun oyer 6ome of his readv wit, besides all that they will know how to work the racket for postoffice honors. The editor-colouel, y/e wish tp state in this connection, is not an applicant for any postcffice, having held that position from 1885 Vo 1889. _* Th* attempt to make -ex-Goy6rnor Chase the scape-goat for the sins of the rascals with whom be was unfortunately associated in the Pwiggins banks matter, we are confident will Ht^erly fail, and the old’governor found to be censurable only tor his guUelessnes* ?nd poor judgment of the men who “roped im in.*’—ML Yfrnon $un. The Howard county grand jury pompospid of five republicans and one democrat took an entirely different yiew of the epatter. Prosecutor Pike is also a republicans, as is also Hon. y. C. Shirley. The fapt of. the matter is the parson was instrumental in getting the farmers and business men to deposit their money in the bank, of which he was the vice-president, governor Chase, of Indiaua, with his was a drawing card.

THE SB ERMA B ACT It is supposed by some that the Sherman act makes obligatory use of gold for the purchase of silver to be stored iu the treasury vaults, and as everyone admits this use of gqjd is contracting the money sunpiy, forcing up the price of gold and greatly impairing the credit of business meu, the repeal of'the Sherman act is demanded on this account. We cannot well imagine how any act of financial legislation could be mofe vicious in principle than the Sherman act, but there is absolutely nothing in the Sherman act or tr. any other law necessitating the use of gold for the redemption of notes issued on the purchase qf silver bullion. \ We think this ought to be uttderstood clearly, for it is perhaps the most important fact of the present stringency. Under the Sherman act all notes issued on the storage of silver bullion could be redeemed jn silver coined [from the bullion on which they are issued. This is not a mere implication of t|ie bill, but it is sjecially provided for. If this were done, it would at once stop the pressure op tbe small supply qf gold which is doing so much to impair the credit of business men and to retard investments. The issue of silver coin or certificates as money of a standard character, recognized at the treasury and everywhere else as money of final account, a full legal tender in the payment of all debts, public and private, and circulated from the treasury on a par with gold without discrimination against either metal, as the democratic platform demands, would soon looseu the stringency and restore business credit, which, as long as it rests on the very small gold supply^ has been rightly compared to a pyramid balanced on its apex instead of set firmly on its base. Briefly summarized, the Sherman act is an act providing that silver bullion may be bought on the gold basis

(at a price estimated in goto; ny notes made redeemable in coin. The bullipu when so bought may be coined for the redemption of the legal tender notes issued on the bullion. The bill is unsound and vicious in principle, not because it forces the use ol gold to redeem these notes, for it does not, but because it demonetizes the silver of a considerable portion of its coinage value as a money metal • ami forces it downward towards its intrinsic value, which in gold or silver is probably not moreshau SO per cent of its total value when subjected to full demand tor use in the arts aiijd for unrestricted coinage. The purchase of silver in gold 'is a very great eviL in itself even when the silver is coined, for, as far as the public is concerned, the government might as well buy paper for a currency material, the paper to be bought in gold and redeemed in gold. Unless silver is freely coined instead of purchased on government account, it is demonetized and gold is the standard for silver currency as for paper. When the silver, purchased supposablv as a money material, is merely stored instead of being coined; when the notes Issued on the bullion are redeemed not in silver, but in gold, then (he demonetization of silver is completed, and this work of making the silver note redeemable in gold only is done as a malterof policy and not of law; is done not because the law directs that it shall be done, but because the law does not prohibit it. The mere repeal of the Sherman act could not therefore give relief to business. The Sherman notes can bo reissued when redeemed, and if the currency is to be kept on a gold basis, if silver is to he paid out neither on the Sherman notes nor on the greenhacks, then the pressure on the ti’easury can be renewed at any time it is the pleasure of half a dozen great capitalists in New York and Londqn. The power this policy gives a few men is enormous. By controlling a

comparatively small part of a small gold supply they can bring stringency on a nation of 65.000,000 people and force thousands of honorable and useful business uten to the edge ol bankruptcy, if not over it. The insuperable objection to the gold basis is that a combination of only a very few capitalists can control euough of ^.he visible supply of gold to bring the credit of the country to a verge of collapse. There is no 6afe currency except one which will regulate itself naturrally ; which cannot be suddenly expanded or contracted ; which is a medium of exchange sufficient for the needs of business and not subject to the vicissitudes of control by popular bodies or by speculators. The only way of securiug such a currency is by the free coinage of both silver and gold, without mint charge and Without discrimination against either metal. This is the currency demanded by the democratic national platform, and it is pu thi* currency that

Hie democratic party will insist without abatement or compromise. PENSION BULINQS. The points in the recent ruling of the pension department which ha? excited a good deal of discussion are thus stated :* 1. The basis of pensions under sections 4,692 and 4,693, R. S., is 'disability by reason of wound, injury or disease contracted while in seryice and in line ot duty. 2. The basis of pension law under sec. 2, act June 27,1890, is incapacity, due to any pertuaneut mental or physical disability not the result of vicious habits to such a degree as renders the cl*irnant unable to caru a support by manual labor. 3. Disabilities incurred while in the service and in line of duty, and incapacity for earning a support befalling a claimant, placed by the pension laws on an entirely different footlng.[; 4. Disability incurred during seryice and in ljne ot duty is pensionable without regard to capacity, and is rated under provisions of the revised statutes without reference to his condition. 5. Disability resulting from causes other than of service origiu are pensionable only under provisions of the second section of the act of June 27, 1890, when incapacity to labor joins with incapacity to earn a support, and the grades of rating there-under are de|>eudeut upon these two conditions. 6. When by order No..}64 of the commissioner of pensions, October la, 1890. it was declared that the disabilities under the act of June 27, 1890, should be rated as if of service origin uuder said act was displaced, and a rule applicable to a different law was substituted. 7. Neither the secretary of the interior nor the commissioner of pensions cun by order or practice, supercede an act of congress. The power of the department, so far as its orders and practice is concerned, is limited to an execution of the law ; it ceases when an effort is made to supercede the law.

The Price baking po wder company, of Chicago, which is known throughout the country for the superior excellence of its baking powder, met with a serious loss on the morning of May 18th, in the nearly total destruction by lire of its factory and offices, No sooner had the flames been subdued than the work of restoration commenced, and the company by prudent foresight, having had stored in outside warehouses duplicate machinery, labels and supplies of raw materials iu preparation for any emergency was enabled by energetic management to resume manufacturing within a very few days after the fire, thereby causing its customers but a trifling delay in the filling of their orders. Had the company not heen so prepared the delay would have been very serious since it would have required mouths of time to get new machinery. It is now forty years since the goods manufactured by this company were first placd on the market, to Dr. Price being due the distinction of having prepared the first can of Cream of Tartar baking powder ever manufactured in an^ country. It was a great discovery, superseding as it did the old method of using cream of tartar aud soda separately, to say nothing of saleratus, with which the biscuit of early days was embittered. . The Price company has no connection whatever with any other baking powder company or manufacturer, notwitstanding representations to the contrary made by other manufacturers whose sole aim is to deceive the public and borrow the good name and fame acquired by the Dr. Price cream bakiug powder, which is known all over the world as the purest and “most perfect made."
