Call For Town Convention.

The XfepuhHcan voter's of Rensselaer will meet in mass convention at the Court House, on Wednesday, April .3rd, 1895, at 7:30 o’clock P. M. to nominate candidates to be voted for at the ensuing election, Jfor the offices of Town Treasurer, Town Clerk, Town Marshal, and Trustees of the Third and Fifth Districts.

The Rochester Republican reprints from the Huntington Herald, an article condemning the alleged change in the election law, whereby the Republican ticket is placed first on the ballot, instead of the Democratic ticket. Our Huntington and Rochester contemporaries ought to know “where they are at'’before opening their columns to criticisms of that character. The Legislature did not pass any such law; nor any law changing or affecting the election law, ip anj" respect. In some respects some changes might have been made, very advajutageonsly, but the proposed act making these changes had one or two objectionable features, and they killed the whole bill.

The legislature very greatly qhapged the gravel road law of 1893, under which the Marion Tp. system of gravel roads were built last year. The most important oi these changes is one placing the care of the maintenance of these roads in the hands of the county commissioners, and at the expense of the whole county, the same as other free gravel roads. Another very commendiblo change extends the time for paying for these township-built mmls, over ten years, instead of six years, as the former law provided. The maximum rate of interest which bonds issued under" this law'shall pay is reduced from (i to 5 per cent. The only one of these . beneficial changes that can now benefit the people of Marion Tp., on the roads already built, is the one transferring the care and expense of maintenance from the township to the'count .

We c mmend both the frankness And the -business enterprise of the Walla Walla banker who gives his reason for being in favor of free c inage at the ratio of 16 to one in the following words: “Our bank has 8500,000 on deposit. Its loans are payable in gold, but our certificates of depos® it are not. Should "’the bill pass, we Will take our depositors’ gold and with it purchase enough silver bullion at 60 cents an ounce to coin 1,000,000 silver dollars at the ration of 16 to 1. We could then pay our depositors in silver, and still have 500,000 silver dollars left as a clear profit. Don’t you see why I am in favor of the bill?” It strikes us that this is the real argument of the free silver advocates of the silver producing states and that all other attempts to justify the doctrine, if intelligently made, are but quibblings of sophistry.

The tariff question has not been receiving much attention recently, owing to the prominence of other issues affecting the public welfare, but a repcrt has just been issued by the department of agriculture which is worthy of attention as indicating the loss the country has sustained in the single item relating to the sheep industry, owing to the hostile legislation accomplished by the late democratic free ftrfde cougress. The official report

referred to states that the average c s'lreejTln this Country on January 1 last, was $1.58: per head. The total number was 12,291,005; with a value of $617,685,707. In 1892 on the same date,- according to the department report, sheep were worth 82.58 each. They numbered 44 J 93Bj3T>5 1 and were worth in the aggregate $116,121,270. By a liitle further effort in the ljne of-niathenaaticfl-.it is thus •demonstrated that American herdsmen have lost $19,935,503 in three years as the direct result of the Democratic party’s bungling efforts'to put into practice the specious theories of experimenting politicians under the leadership of Cleveland, Carlisle and Wilson. This somewhat startling statement with reference to the enormous loss sustained by wool growers of the United States is only an example of the general rule of depreciation of valued of Rll products affected by the acts of the last congr ss. The impression seems to be gaining ground that the tariff will not be a prominent issue in the campaign of 1896, but when the subject is revived and the facts brought to the attention of the people by the simple process of quoting figures and making comparisons from the official records, it will doubtless result in arousing even more general and determined opposition to the democratic policy than has heretofore prevailed.

WHAT CAUSED THE PANIC.

THE FEAR OF DEMOCRATIC FREE TRADE THE PRINCIPAL CAUSE. a The •‘Demonetization of Silver” Had Nothing tol)o With Jt. It really seems like a waste of time to discuss financial questions with students of the Coin School. Shown to be wrong at one point they rush to another, and when fairly beaten mever seem willing to acknowledge it. —We would Tike to call attention as briefly as possible, to one or two points so much relied on by this school of financiers. They found their main argument in favor of the free coinage of silver upon the alleged fact that, the _value of money in the country controls the price of its commodities — the ‘qualitative” theory, as they call it. All financial panics they say, come from a scarcity of money. It is a little curious that among all the financial tables exhibited by Coin, I have been able to find none showing the amount of money per capita in the country at periods of financial prosperity and adversity. If Coin is right, how does it happen that a condition of financial stringency dike the present should exist at a time when the amount of money per capita in the country was as great, if not greater than ever before?

The periodically recurring financial panics do not always arise principally from the scarcity of money in the country but from a condition of things of which that may, oi- may not be a factor. When money is lying idle in the banks, and hid away in old stockings for lack of opportunity for 'safe investment, its effect upon the country is far different from what it would be if invested in manufacturing industries and active business. A thousand dollars in active circulation would pay a thousand debts, and buy so .d and clothing for a thousand families; which, if locked up in a bank, it would only be a source of anxiety to the owner for fear the bank would break. Yet there is just as much money in the country per capita in one case as in the other. The prosperity of the country depends entirely, so fS* as the volume of money is concerned upon the question whether it is lying idle or being kept in active employment —a fact which seems to be utterly ignored by the students of the Coin School. With the panics of 1837-8 and of 1858 9, the fancied demonetization of silver certainly had nothing to do. The first was caused by speculations pure and simpl; and the indebtedness for “town sites” and “comer lota” was largely wiped out by the bankrupt law of 1830, leaving the participants free to engage in new ventures. The panic of 1868-9 was Drought on as every one knows, who had reached years *of descretiom at the time, by the cellapse of the “state” bank system—a financial measure

which many of our young financiers are anxious to see again introduced. The dearly bought experience ms their fathers count for nothing with the young financial theorists of.the present day. While excessive speculation, with its attendant indebtedness and reckless extravagance was the .primary canseof the pAnic of 1873, the failure of Jay Cooke and the N. P. railroad precipitated the event, and added to the intensity of the financial distress. The “Crime" of 1873” which was not discovered till some years later, is not charged with this calamity even by those who most bitterly denounce it as “the sum of all viilanies.” ' u~r— :^ Of the causes which resulted in the financial collapse of 1893, there is a wide difference of opinion, even among our most intelligent men. and we think very truly, charge “it to the defeat of the principle of protection to home industry, and the triumph of the friends of free trade in the election of 1892. Democrats are equally positive that the cause should be looked forun the failure of their party in congress to repeal the “robber tariff” and establish free trade. The populists are as positive, and a great deal more noisy, in asserting that the whole trouble originated in the ! “crime of 1873;” notwithstanding the conceded fact that since that crime (?) was perpetrated we have had ten years of the greatest prosperity.in the history of the country. The “crime of 1873” has had about as much to do with it, in our opinion, as the changes of the moon. The general election of 1892 was carried by a popular craze, the unreasoning voters being “carried off their feet” by the cry of “robber tariff.” Evidently encouragby the success of that campaign, the populists are hoping to win by the same game in 1896, substituting the equally deceptive cry of “free silver,” for the “robber tariff.” They know that the great mass of voters of both the old parties are as good silver men as themselves, and better; for while they believe in keeping the silver dollar as good as any other, they also believe in a currency of gold and paper of equal value with the silver. The populists claim to be not only the sole and exclusive friends of silver, but the only people in all this broad earth that know anything about money. That they may win in this game ofv deception is possible, but if they dc\ we more universal feeling of regret when the consequences of the change become apparent, than was the case after the election of 1892; and none will more regret it than the populists themselves.

How an Enemy was Foiled. The following graphic statement will bo read with intense interest: “1 cannot describe the numb, creepy sensation that existed in my arms, hands and legs. I had to rub and beat those parts until they were sore, to Overcome in a measure the dead feeling that had taken possession of them. In addition, I had a strange weakness in my hack and around my waist, together with an indescribable ‘gone’ feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it was creeping paralysis, from which, according to their universal conclusion, there is no relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they say, it continues its insidious progress untfl it reaches a vital point and tlio sufferer dies. Such was my prospect. I had been doctoring a year and a half steadily, but with no particular benefit, when Lsaw an advertisement of Dr Miles’ Restorative Nervine, procured a bottle and began using it. Marvelous as it may seem, but a few days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had left me, and there has not been even the slightest indication of its return. I now feel as well as I ever did, and have gained ten pounds in weight, though I had run down from 170 to 137. Four others have used Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine on my recomendation, and it has been as satisfactory in their cases as in mine." ; -James Kane, La Rue, O.
