Another factor has entered into the
regulation of the prices of the wools for
1896. Reports from Australia say that
millions of sheep have died from
drouth. The figures are placed at
>,500,000. The statement hardly seems
credible, but If it be true it can but
affect the price of wool nil over the
world. From this loss alone it is esti-
mated the wool clip for this year will

The Winnebago county. Wis., board
has decided to adopt the workshop plan

discouragement of tramps. A four-acre
tract of Quariy land on the south side
will be purchased and a workhouse
erected thereon at a total cost of $3,500.
It la expected to be in running order by
July 1. It appears from the bills pre-
sented by justices and constables that
over 4,300 tramps have been cared for
by the county since Nov?i\iber 1, 1895.
Strikes, lock-outs and other trade
disputes in England last year numbered
778. About 250,000 people were af-
fected. In the preceding year there
were 1,061 such disputes, and the num-
ber in the year 1893 was 782. In 1S91
about 325,000 persons were directly af-
fected, and in 1893 the number affected
was about 650,000. The large number
affected that year doubtless arose in
part from the exceedingly precarious
condition in which many lines of buei
oess found themselves.

Some writer has said that war is a
game that were people wise kings
would not play at. It looks as If
the time had come when no king dare
play with war to a very great extent
without the consent of the people.
There was a time when a ruler wage 1
war and a defeat did not shake his
throne unless the enemy were able to
march Into Ills own country nr 1 con-
quer It. Now If a king be defeated in
an expedition that he has sent out, the
people call him to account In no uncer-
tain language. The example of Italy
and Abyssinia is to the point. During
the war between Russia and Turkey
there was a time when it looked as if
the Russians would be defeated, and it
Is said that during that time the czar
aged perceptibly, fearing the effects of
disaster. A Russian defeat would
have meant Insurrection In his own em-
pire. This accounts in a very largo
measure for the extreme reluctance the
nations of Europe have of making war
on each other, even when there seems
to be an abundant cause. This siat*
of things Is propitious for the future.

The result was the "Sherman Law,"
for which every republican In congress
voted, and which was signed by a re-
publican president. It was not what
silver men wanted, but It was better
than nothing.
And yet ln 1893, only a little more

to the free use of both gold and silver. At the same time it is equally clear
without discrimination against either that, constituted as the republican par-
or charge for mintage, and the repub- ty is, with so large a proportion of Ita
lican party pledged to bimetallism and
tho use of both metals as "standard
money," have united and practically
fastened the single gold standard upon
the country.
This was the main point of Mr. Car-
ter's speech, and Messrs. Sherman,
Hoar and Gear struggled in vain to
break its force.
It is a highly significant fact that
not one of those republicans opposing
free coinage, while claiming to be bi-
metal lists. ever thinks of proposing any
legislation looking toward the restora- j
tlon of silver. Their bimetallism con- '
sists of opposing everything which even
squints in that direction. Whenever
the extreme silver men are in the as-
cendency and a free coinage measure
is In sight, these alleged bimetalllsts
always have some counter opposition—
such as the Allison amendment in 1878,
and tho Sherman law in 1890. Both of
these were substitutes for free coinage.
Hut when there seems to be no prob-
ability of a free coinage enactment, not
a step in the direction of bimetallism
are they willing to take.
In fact, they favor bimetallism that
is absolutely unknown in monetary
science.
At last the question as to how the j
stars should be arranged in our flag
has been settled. We presume thnt our
readers know that every time a new
state is added to the nation a new stnr
Is added to the flag, and every time a
new star is added to the flag a new-
arrangement of all the stars is neces-
sary to give the banner a symmetrical
appearance. With the admission of
Utah, therefore, there had to be such
an arrangement that forty-five stars
would be accommodated. A great many
suggestions have been made by writers,
but none of them adopted. Finally the
secretary of navy and the secretary of
war agreed to a plan and this plan has
been approved by the president. The
arrangement Is very simple. The
forty-flve is divided into two sets of
numbers, twentv-four and twenty-one.
Senator Sherman sounds the key note
for them, and. whether they agree with
him or not, they are very careful never
to suggest any opposition. His Idea of
bimetallism is expressed in the follow-
ing words:
"I believe that the policy of the
United States adopted in 1853, of coin-
ing fractional silver coins In limited
quantities from silver bullion pur-
' chased at market price, and making
them a legal tender for small sums, Is
the only way to preserve the parity of
i gold and silver coins at a fixed ratio. ;
I This is properly called bimetallic [
| money."
His Idea of bimetallism is gold as
full legal tender, with free coinage of :
| that metal alone, and small change In |
silver, coined on government account
and made legal tender for "small
sums."
If that be the correct definition of
bflnetallism. then we have "trlmetal- j
llsm" in this country, because we also
have nickels, coined on government ac- '
count and legal tender for small sums.
In fact, we have "quodrometallism,"
because we also have cents of a differ-
ent metallic composition, being made
chiefly of copper. All of these minor
coins are struck on government account
ln small amounts, and are limited legal
tender. So they embody all the con-
ditions which he says are requisite for
"bimetallism."
Mr. Sherman's Idea seems to be that
the all-important thing ln a monetary
system is "parity," If the gold dollar
appreciates until it is actually worth
strength in states completely domin-
ated by the money power. It cannot
possibly take such a stand. Hence a
substantial break in the republican
column seems inevitable.
Those who have carefully studied
this great question of money are firm
In the conviction that it completely
overshadows the tariff In importance
That while selling our great staples ln
the foreign market in competition with
silver-using nations, no tariff can ma-
terially Improve existing conditions.
It is therefore plain that the sliver
question is to be the great Issue In
1896, and those who conscientiously be-
lieve that the constitutional money of
the country should be restored, must be
prepared for Independent action.
Tut a Dollar'. Worth of Sliver Into the
"Dollar.
This contention Is frequently heard,
but It shows an absolute ignorance of
the entire question.
The very-essence of the trouble Is
that by demonetizing silver the gold
dollar has been made too valuable. It,
In fact, has grown to be a 200-cent
dollar.
Now we are told that more silver
piust be put Into the silver dollar, so
that it, too, may become a 200-cent
dollar. If the gold dollar had stood
still and the silver dollar had fallen
one-half, the demand would be just.
Ibit instead, the silver dollar has stood
still (or nearly so) while the gold dol-
lar has doubled.
This doubling has come from increas-
ing the demand for gold. The bimetal-
l list proposes to diminish this demand
by transferring a portion of it to silver,
thus, as stated elsewhere, lowering the
value of gold, raising the value of sil-
] ver, and bringing them to a common
level, somewhare between the present
values of gold and silver bullion.
! To first lower the value of sliver by
I shutting it out of the mint, and then
propose to restore the value of the dol-
lar by putting into It twice as much
silver, is not only illogical but dis-
| honest.
Reopen the mint to silver just as It
was before 1873. Then if the silver
dollar fall to sustain Itself by the side
of the gold dollar, the question of
changing ratio, that Is, putting in more
silver, may fairly be considered.-—

SCIENCE HELPS YOU TO rlE

From the Era. Bradford. Ta.
Too few people are acquainted with
the rapid advance of medical science,
tnd too many doctor® ure still plod-
dim? In the old paths. Once tt comes to
pass that people know themselves, that
all physicians are abreast of the
world's knowledge, much of our suf-
fering will come to an end. Medical
scientists are not delving into the
depths of knowledge for the mere ben-
efit of brother physicians, but for the
benefit of the world. They place In
the hands of the well man a means of
keeping well, in the hands of the sick
mun a means of recovery. To the par-
ent they give the power of saving the
child. Science Is working for you—will
you accept the proffered help?
Mrs. George Kowend, an estimable
lady who resides at No. 276 East Main
Street, has cause to feel grateful to-
ward the science of medicine.
She stated to a reporter that she
had been suffering with a female
trouble for many years. She had been
doctored for the ailment for a long-
time—ln fact, nearly all her life—and'
had never received anything more than
temporary relief. During the last three
years her condition grew worse and
was aggravated by an affection of the
heart. Her health was so poor that she
found It almost Impossible to perform
her household duties.
I never believed in proprietary med-
nes." said Mrs. Ilowend, "but one
day last fall 1 read an article In a
newspaper which told of the cures ef-
fected by l>r. Williams' Pink Pills, and
I decided to try the medicine. Before
I had taken the contents of one box I
began to feel better. The depressing
weakness which had bothered me for
so many years began to disappear, and
the action of the heart at once be-
me stronger and more regular.
"I took nine boxes of the pills and
X am now feeling better than I have
for several years, and I have unbound-
ed faith in the medicine."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale
by all druggists, or may be had by mail
from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents per
box, or six boxes for $2.50.

right to complain if other forms of
money are only at a "parity," with the

the sole use which people have for "dol-

Senator Teller, quoting from the re-
port of the English Royal Commission,
gave the essentials of true bimetallism
as follows:
A bimetallic system of currency, to
be completely effective, must, in the
view of those who advocate It, include
two essential features: (a) An open
mint ready to coin any quantity of
either gold or silver which may be
brought to It; (b) the right on the part
of a debtor to discharge his liabilities,
at his option, ln either of the two
metals at a ratio fixed by law.
This is the definition that ln aub-
The flaring Failure.
For a time the beneficial effects of
the Sherman law were quite apparent.
The monetary stringency then existing
In Wall street was relieved by the
monthly issues of treasury notes, and
business Improved. But in the latter
part of 1890 the great banking house of
Baring Brothers in London failed,
threatening disaster to the entire com-
mercial world. The Bank of England
was hard pressed, and borrowed $15,-
000,000 in gold from the Bank of
France.
Large blocks of American securities
were returned to this country and
thrown upon the market, and during
1891 about $68,000,000 of gold were ex-
ported in excess of imports. Still busi-
ness moved along smoothly. As gold
was exported, the Sherman notes took
its place, and while financial storms
were raging in Europe, and even off in
far Australia, in America all was
serene. And so matters stood until Mr.
Cleveland was elected, in the fall of
1892.—National Bimetallism

SUPERIOR'S BLEAK SHORE.
Almost as Many Perils on the <lreat
Ijnko as at Sea.
The accident to the steamer Missoula
lends to show more clearly than any-
thing that has occurred the vast area
of Lake Superior, and the possibility of
a vessel's crcw reaching land after
shipwreck, and yet being unheard of
for a couple of weeks after starting on
n voyage, says the Detroit Free Press.
The shores of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota on the big lake are traversed
by railways and telegraph lines, and
the towns and small settlements on the
American side of the lake, even to the
Islands, furnish ready means of commu-
nication with the larger cities, but not
so on that part of the Canadian shore
north of tho lakes, where a wilderness
inhabited by a few fishermen and In-
dians exists. This is especially true of
the Canadian shore just above Sault Ste.
Marie, and for a long stretch of country
to the north and east of the point where
the Canadian Pacific Railway turns in
to the shore of the lake and traverses it
on toward Port Arthur and Fort Wil-
liam.
When the Missoula broke her shaft
nnd was rendered helpless, she was less
than twenty-five miles from Caribou
island, on the course down toward Sault
Ste. Marie. She was somewhat off tho
regular course of vessels bound down
from the head of Lako Superior, but. if
Ehe had been able to make any headway
toward the Sault, or care for herself at
ail on the course she was following,
she would have been picked up very
soon after the accident by some passing
vessel. But a southerly wind drifted her

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury.
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
♦iio whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such ar-
ticles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physi-
cians. as tho damage they will do is ten-
fold to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
O., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tem. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure, lie
sure you get the genuine. It is taken in-
ternally. anfl made in Toledo, Ohio, by

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding' of the
transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating tiie
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
a\l reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and tho system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfact ion
