Laporte Argos: Any man who wants a freer use of silver for circulating money can have it, He can go to any bank and get any amount of silver he may want in exchange for nthftr mnnoy By simply asking for it he can he can get what is due him in silver dollars anywhere. If he wants to carry around a bushel of silver dollars he can easily get them. If he has a thousand dollars due him and wants silver dollars he can take a grainsack and a wagon and get it. He can make his contract so that all who owe him will be obliged to pay in silver, and if he wants more silver he can surely get all he wants of it. It is not necessary to change the laws or to disturb business for that. It might be well for the free and unlimited silver advocates to try this Bimple plan before going further with their scheme.

For years it has been the costom of almost every county in the state to hold a county fair at least once each year in some enclosed place set apart for the , purpose. At these fairs were exhibited productions of the soil, manufactured articles, and farm animals, etc., together with a variety of entertainments. In most counties where these fairs have been held heretofore in a respectable, square and honest manner they have deteriorated into a congregation of the lowest. elasß of fakirs, gamblers, confidence men, pickpockets, and hoodlums, with a smattering of honest exhibitors who are deluded with the idea they can draw a premium on their exhibit against one who is on a committee or has a “pull” with the society. The county fair has seen its day, and many associations have already sold their property and disbanded, while others are considering the matter, many stockholders realizing that in being connected with attich an institution as the county fair they are losing respectability -- and lending- -support- to a -place where their children can learn very litile thatris good, but see and leirn of thmgs that are vicious. and of a degrading instead of elevating character. —Chesterton Tribune.

Protection and Republicanism.

The national Republican convention of 1896 will enunciate the principle of protection of American industries. It will enunciate this principle with crystalline clearness and an emphasis never surpassed since, in the infancy of the Republican party, it nailed to its masthead the flag of protection, which it has never lowered for a single moment by a single inch. The national Republican convention of 1896 will declare in favor of various other things. But those who are deluding themselves with the hope that the convention will remain silent on the question of protection, or that its voice will be a whisper or its word a quibble, are doomed to bitter disappointment. The voice will bo a clarion call That word will be a watchword We cannot yield to our friends, the enemy, any jot or tittle in regard to protection; but we will cheerfully let them choose for that principle, so far as their own statements and discussions ore concerned, whatever nomenclature may be best pleasing to themselves. They are at liberty to call it McKinleyism, or iieediem, or Harrisonism, or Allisonism, or any other ism whatsoever. What they call it is a matter of entire indifference to us. It is quite sufficient for us to know that it is Republicanism, which is merely another way of spelling Americanism,—Boston Advertiser. >

Where Silver is “Free.”

Mr. James Stanton, a South American mining expert, passed in discussing the free silver craze, which he found in his travels through parts of the South and West, expressed the opinion that it would be well for free coinage advocates to investigate the silver countries that have been on a silver basis for years. “I have watched,” said Mr. Stanton, “with considerable interest the arguments and prophesies of the free silver advocates. I have wondered why some of them don’t produce the evidence of some one who has been an actual resident of a free silver country. “Free silver countries are numerous to the south of us, and from long-continued daily intercourse with merchants, clerks and laborers I know what are the conditions of people in free silver countries. “Why elaborate on theories when the actual results and cold facts are easily accessible and almost stare us in the face? In the free silver latitudes I have been honored with personal acquaintance of nice-looking dry goods clerks who had reached the salary limit of $3 per week. Dignified, barefooted policemen thrive on ‘name’ and ‘yuca’ at sl2 per month. “I have seen scores of pay-rolls paid out on which all section laborers (railroad) received 50 cents per day in silver. The eotintrieiT had magnificent cities before this government was formed, and yet every ninteenth century improvement has had to be proposed, carried there) introduced and operated by enterprising citizens from gold countries. The free silver natives often ask why their dollar is worth two thirds less than ours. I have sometimes thought of telling them to carry their troubles to the free silver editors of some of your papers.” A gentleman connected with the United States diplomatic service in Mexico has been making inquiries into the operation of the free silver system of that country, and in a recent letter suggested thafrt&e free "Coinage of the United States might find an object lesson there. He shows that the claim of th silver men that wages will be in creased if free coinage is adopted is without foundation and can not be made good. In Mexico he says the wages on plantations and in cities range from 12| to 25 cents a day. These wages have not advanced for years, and are paid in depreciated money with only half as much as the same amount in the United States. This correspondent also writes that, while wages remain low, the cost of living is very high. All produce that comes in competition with the markets of the world have advanced in price so as to be beyond the means of the laboring people. Coffee is a luxury seldom obtained and often the only beef within the reach of the laborer is cut from the carcasses of animals killed in bull-fights. Blitter is a luxury for even the rich, and ordinary vegetables like lettuce and radishes are equally so. The poor man’s champaigns—lager beer—retails for 15 cents a glass. The experience of this gentleman who has been in Mexico several months goes to piove that cheapening money by the free coinage of silver reduces wages and increases the price of living.

Faith Healer Dowie, and Miss Cody's Case.

Dr. Alexander Dowie, the faith healer of Chicago, who was so much in vogue in this vicinity a few months ago, is now getting any amount of free advertising in the Chicago papers. Many of his nearest neighbors are very anxious to get rid of him, and have begun numerous prosecutions against, him. One of these cases, charging him with keeping a hospital without a license, was tried last week, but resulted in a disagreement, the jury standing 11 for guilty to 1 for not guilty. The papers are taking sides for of against Dowie, and Monday’s Times-Herald had a six column article in whieh his numerous alleged cures were set out in detail. Most prominence in this article was given to the case of Miss Sadie Cody, of Rensselaer. The portion of the article referring to Miss Cody’s case is here given.

Cured by Prayer.

He makes his defense on the truthfulness of his works. He cites as a first miracle the result of his prayer for Sadie Cody. She swears that by some mysterious power her left leg was lengthened three inches, and she was enabled to walk without a limp. Her relatives verify her story. Miss Cody was carried into the home on a stretcher, taken from the train a helpless, doomed woman. The people of her Indiana town told her she would die among strangers. She came to the tabernacle in her extremity. She asserts that all the physicians in the town had pronounced her marked for the grave, and swears before a notary that Dr. C. A. DavidTffi State street, had declared her beyond the assistance of medical science. Conviction that she was to be instantly healed, reads the affidavit, came the moment she became a resident member of the singing, praying band. She so told Mr. Dowie, but he sent her to a room to spend a season with her Bible. Others were sent to holster up her faith. Prayer lasted two days, and then the preacher concluded the time had come for the laying on of hands. Miss Cody was carried to the healing-room and placed upon the sofa. Mr. Dowie listened to her confession of faith and then prayed; so did Miss Cody. Mr. Dowie concluded his ministration by a command to “arise and wajk in the name of the Lord.” Miss Cody describes in her affidavit that she felt within her some terrific force. She strugg’ed, and, arising, stood upon her feet. JSfea .walked—access -Jha. room, the first time she had stood without assistance in a year. Within eight weeks, she says, she left the home a well woman. She came to Chicago from Morris, 111., to bear witness to the genuineness of the cures of Mr. Dowie.

After reading the above statement from Dowie, and learning from the physicians here how monstrously false and misleading they are in all essential particulars, we are more than ever convinced that this Dowie is a monumental money-making fraud, and the truth is not in him. Dr. W. W. Hartsell treated Miss Cody for a long time for sciatic rheumatism. Instead of having pronounced her as “marked for the grave” he says that when she left his care, she was practically cured of her rheumatism, and was suffering only from hysteria. Dr. M. B. A Iter was her last physician previous to her going to Dowie. He never “pronounced her as marked for the grave” either. On the eon* fcrary the very last opinion he gave her of her case was that her disease had reached a stage where nature would work a slow but certain cuxeIn this view Dr. C. A. David, her

A Prominent Railroader’s Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: / * Dear Sirs —I wish to speak a a_ J K kind word for LYON’S SEVEN W / M WONDERS. During an attack of S la grippe, from which I suffered CplfeMlgreatly with stomach trouble, loss VI of appetite and general bad feelings, 1 W I was induced by a friend, who jHgpsA / said, it would remove all these v troubles, to try your remedy.

uncle, who is referred to in the above quoted paragraph, fully agreed. Dr. David was down here, in consultation with Dr. Alter in the case. Both he and Dr- Alter did admit that in one sense “she was beyond the Assistance of medical science.” In other words they told her that her disease had, assumed a chronic stage, where medicine would not affect it, but where it would get well of itself, in time. Her recovery was undoubtedly much more .rapid under Dowie’s hypnotic encouragement than it otherwise would have been, although according to his own statement it Was eight weeks before she left the “home” a well woman. And the people of Rensselaer who observe her "present far from healthy appearance, doubt whether she is yet wholly well. Dr. J. H. Loughridge also diagnosed Miss Gody’s caße, in consultation with Dr. Alter; and Dr. V. E. Loughridge also perscribed for her. Neither of them nor any other doctor of Rensselaer ever thought of “pronouncing her a doomed woman,” but on the contrary saw no reason why she should not, ultimately get well. As to what Miss Cody herself now believes and asserts about her case, it is sufficient to say that while her honesty and sincerity are above question, yet t_ie opinions about their own oases, of persons suffering from hysteria, are of no value whatever. It is by thus parading and monstrously misrepresenting such cases as this of Miss Cody’s, that Dowie is becoming enormously wealthy from the deluded patrons of his $lO a week boarding houses. It will be noticed, however, that he maintains a profound silence in regard to such cases as two others from this vicinity; one of whom came back a corpse and the other scarcely living to reach home. Neither has he any thing to say of the many cases of real cripples and real sickness, several of whom live in this vicinity, to whom his so-called cure afforded no relief. The statement that one of Miss Cody’s legs was lengthened three inches is a palpable falsehood. Of all the persons who knew her previous to her sickness, no one ever knew her as a cripple, and had one leg been three inches shorter than the other, she would have been 60 greatly crippied. that. walking would have been almost impossible.
