Bland says, Cleveland is talking against silver to keep from talking about tariff reform. The Democrats’ shriek for ’retrenchment and reform has changed to a prolonged Democratic howl for plunder. Fellow workers, shall we provide ourselves with a circulating medium atcost, or shall we employ the bankers to furnish it and pay them a percentage four times greater than we can make in any industrial pursuit? ‘•The man who dies rich is disgraced."—Andrew Caregie. Yes, and it is neither creditable nor comfortable to live poor. In a world of plenty can't it be so arranged, Andy, that men can both live and die respected?

Last fall the People's party devoted much time to the discussion of the railroad question, but were told never mind, you Just vote the Democratic ticket and you will get all these reforms. The people did vote it and now only ten days more of the reform Democratic legislature remains, and the committee on railways have not reported a bill. Repeal every charter confering upon individuals the exercise of public functions, such as banking, railroads and street railways, gas and electric light companies and companies organized to furnish water for cities. All these are public functions and should and must be exercised by the people themselves so as to have service at cost, and thereby avoid this enormous expense known as profits. We have often said there was no difference between the leaders and policies of the old parties. The latest evidence is found in dispatches from Washington in which it is stated that Carlisle, the incoming secretary, spends most of his time in consultation with John Sherman discussing the treasury matters. Just think of it, that old Kentucky humbug taking reform lessons from reprobate Sherman. e gods, what times of reform we have fallen on.

The congress shall have power to coin money and regulate the value thereof.—Constitution of the United States. Under that, congress alone has tue l'jght to create money. No one else dares to. But when congress has created the money, its duty is only half performed. To discharge its whole duty it must not only create money but see that it goes to the people at cost or if at a profit, that profit goes to benefit the whole people. We believe with Jefferson that banks of issue are unconstitutional, an usurpation of the people’s rights and should, be prohibited. # Transmission of intelligence, transportation and money at cost. Be it said, to the credit of Senator Gilman, that last week he voted for a motion which favored doing- away with the publication of the official ballot. The man who has not informed himself upon candidates and parties, two weeks before a general election, will never get any information from reading the official ballot in a county paper. Newspapers

do not reach this olass of unconcerned, disinterested voters. The $573 worth of information furnished two weeks before the last election by the Republican and Democratic Sentinel, never, in all probability, enlightened a half dozen voters in the county. The men for whose benefit the ofcial ballot is published always get their information by hearing the subject discussed by asking questions and by being instructed at the polls on the morning of the election. Hon. J. B. Cheadle. ex-mem-ber of Congress from the 9th district, is out in an extended article against the repeal of the Sherman silver law unless it is replaced by free coinage. If our memory is not at fault, the Hon. J. B. Cheadle voted against free coinage when in congress, but now r that he is out where he can do nothing, he favors it. Joe says the “Republican party must take no step backward upon the silver question.” The poor deluded man. Don’t he know that his party never took a step forward on that question, that they demonetized silver nineteen years ago, and have steadily as a party fought its remonetization. The truth is Joe wants back to the scenes of his former glory and reads aright the signs of the times and knows that hereafter no one but a free coinage man can go from Indiana, hence this hasty repentance. Joseph, it will avail you nothing. You sinned away your opportunity and now you must abide the consequence. Poor Joe.

As a specimen of magnificent lying, we take the following from a speech of Governor McKinley before the Republican League Club at Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 14, 1893. . “In a few days the country passes into the control of the Democratic party, in a condition of matchless prosperity in every department of industry. We do not leave them a legacy of hard times, idle industries, unproductive enterprises, and unemployed labor. We turn over to them a country blessed with unprecedented activity in every avenue of human employment, with labor in active demand and better paid than in all our history before; a government with unparallelled resources and credit, and with no stain upon its honor.”

*To have told the truth, he would have said, the nation has an indebtedness of thirty-four billions of dollars, fourteen billions of which is due foreigners, we have nine million of mortgages, four billions of dollars of farm mortgages, one million of idie men seeking employment, (see labor statistics,) ten millions of unfed people, (see John J. Ingalls’ Glen Echo speech,) agriculture conducted at a loss for the past fifteen years, (see interview of Secretary Rusk,) the military under arms in four states at one time to overawe dissatisfied and striking vTorkingmen. Governor McKinley knew he was falsifying when he gave that highly colored picture, but his party laid down the plan at their national convention when they said “the country is prosperous iu field, factory, and mine,” and they persistently adhered to it throughout the campaign. One would naturally have supposed their crushing defeat last fall would have taught them something, but it seems not from the governor’s late utterances, in which he repeats the stale falsehoods of the campaign, and from which we infer that they intend to keep at it. Happy and content is a home with "The Rochester," a lamp with the light of the morning. Catalogues,write RochesterLampCo ~N ewYorfc For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of Bay City, Mich., accidently spilled scalding water over her little boy. She promptly applied Be Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, giving instant relief. It’s a wonderfully good salve for burns, bruises, sores and a sure cure for piles. A- F. Long & Co.

How It Circulates.

K»ml»ftoa Prats. The Rensselaer Republican man appears to be geiting a little warm in under the collar. We beg leave to call his attention to the fact that we said in our article that “the rates allowed by the law are too high, and that the law should be changed.” This is a fact that Bro. Marshall very well knows, but is very careful not to say anything about it in his paper. We believe this is all we have claimed, and further, we have never contended “that public printing should be done for the same price as ordinary display business advertising,” as the truthful (?) editor of the Republican would have his readers believe. We said that the work is worth about double what ordinary advertising was worth, but was not by any means w r orth the outrageous prices allowed by law. In regard to the Newspaper Annual’s report giving the circulation of the Republican at 1,100 and the Press at 384, will say that these Annual's usually give the ratings too high, as they are sent in by the publisher himself, and that there has been no report sent from this office to our knowledge since we purchased the plant of Mr. Hopkins; and

we will say that the report of 384 at that time was about 100 too high, but is about one-half of our present circulation. Speaking of this mutter of circulation, we find in an old Annual of ’BB (which by the way is the only one we have ever had in the office, as we do no business with these firms and consider the money or advertising paid for these books thrown away) that the Rensselaer Republican’s circulation “including special editions” is between 1,000 and 1,100. As we may suppose the last report also includes “special editions,” it would look to a man up a tree as if the “organ” had not kept pace with the increased business and population of the country during the past four years. According to his figures given above, the Republican probably has a circulation of about 600 or 650 in Jasper county, 500 or 550 which is strictly local, that is, it does not go outside of Rensselaer and its immediate vicinity. We must say that we are surprised at this. We fail to see where—outside of Rensselaer —this boasted county circulation comes in at. We believe the figures we have given above are nearly correct. Taking out the foreign list and the packages and exchanges going outside to other towns, would give about the circulation in the county as we have shown. The population of the county is about 12,000. However, we are not, as one would infer from reading Marshall’s heavy editorials, after the county printing, but there are three papers printed at the county seat. Each of these papers pay taxes into the county treasury, why should not each one of them have an equal chance at the county patronage? Why should one paper have a “cinch” on this county printing which pays so well? As we have before stated, we nave no personal fight with anyone on this subject. We say that the work could be done for one-fourth what is now paid, by any paper in the county, at a good profit. We do not care to devote any more space to this sheet, which if the public teat was taken away from it would have to depend on its own merit for support instead of the patronage of the county. In the beginning we stated that the rates allowed by law were too high, and showed what the rates were. This man, whose principal stock in trade seems to be slang and abuse, has tried to make it a personal matter between his paper and the Press, and as we have shown up what a “snap” the organs have, has vented bis

venom upon us. We do not feel called upon to reply to all the insinuations made him, which by are merely the result of a soar stomach and the over-taxing of a naturally weak brain, and are beneath the notice of intelligent people.
