'I'hose who are nitbrusled will clip these items out and paste together as a slight memeuto of tho battleu fuoght by a generntion fast passing aw.iy. We arc indebted largely for the information to the kindness of the memory of S. L. M. Luke, a journalist nho to<>k 110 mean share in the event* at that time: 1854 â€" This (irst contest was a three cornered one and the burning quention was tho Secularizati'in of the Clergy Re- serves. Mr. Oeorj^e Jackson, then a Reformer, took thu popular view and was elected, his opponent being Mr. Chiia. Rankin, Conservative, and Richard Carney, Owen Sound, ludependcnt Con- servative. 185900â€" Both years are given, as elec- tions did not take plnco in one day us now, but extended over weeks soiuo times. Mr. Jackson dropped out of this contest for some ro.isuu neither side seeming to desire him as a candidate and when ho appears again it is as a Coii- servativo. This contest was fiju^ht on a reli'^ious cry and tho Ind. Coiiiervative, John Sheridan Uojjan was ulocted by 144 majority. His opponents weie Mr. Rich. Carney now appearing as a Lib.-Con- snrv:itiTo and Dr. Uamilton, Liberal. Tho violent death of Jlr. Ho;'»n caused a bjo-elei.'ti«ii which wus held in M;irch UUil â€" Ayaiii a three cninered fi2ht, Mr. Jew T. Puidy, lief., being elected. Hi.s oppniiciits wore Mr. J. Morri'on, a Ba'dwin Uif"iiiier but re- cogiiizod by some a« a Lib.-CoiiSfrvative, aiid Mr. Nassau Gownn, dm. The all absorbing topic at tliis and 8ubse(iuoiil elections was " tep. by pop.," which wus tinally .secured by the Brjt. North American Act of 18G7 July 1801â€" The geiH-ral elections were brouiiht on, Geo Jackson, Cuii., eleclud by l'»'i. Opponents Mcs.ra. Purdy and Gowan. l.SOJâ€" Geo. Jackson was again elected, for thu first lime a str;ii;;lit fij/ht taking place between the t«o parlies, tho Re- foiiu «taiida:d bearer being Su'der uf Owen Sound. All these contests and tome subsequent ones were fought on the open voting principle, and while few wiiuld wish a return to that old system there is this to be BJiid for it, there was no spoiled votes ill those days, and eveiy man know how Ins iieixhbor voted romotin;j all distrust. â€"Grey Review. What Free Silver Means A correspondent iuquircs as to "iLe raoaiiiu;- of free nilver as usod in the American papers." Tho inciiuiiig of a "I'lMiik" Ij often ohgoiired, bfcauso its frum^r" nud advocates attach no meauing to it themselves and ufton because tlipy no not want the public to imderstiiud its moaning. .Niithor causes obscure tho iii'nning of free silver aa its advocotis kuow wliat they want Rud ani determined thut everyone oUe shall know it iilao. Free silver means the free coln,-»j;8 of all silver liulllou brought to tho miiit n« gold bullion is now freely ooiuc.l. Slid the 1(5 to I ratio means that tbe tilvir dollar thus freely ciiood sli.iU contain 10 tiiuus fts lunch mel»l, l.y wtiK-ht, as the gold dollar. I'udor thutsvstcm a luiui bringing I i pounds of ^^lver to the limit Citn have it stamped into ci.ind ttbicli be may carry awuy or exchsngo for gold coins to the wuinh' o[ one poiind, <jr, by britigiug one pound of cold to llie iiiiat ha can have it ftaiiipod into ooiiia wbioh ho may lake away or exchange for IC pouuds of silver coir.8. 'lh:twa.s tho Hjstmi viiuler which the mint was estabUsbod in 1702, with tho eiacpiion tbul theralio was then 15 to 1, Hiul the free silvor advocates wanted it, with that exception, rostorod. Tho orlgiuid silver dollar contained 3711-4 giains and tho gold dollar 21 3-\ grains of piiio metal, uot counting th* alloys added to Imrdeu it. That ratio was chosen under tho iniprts- sion that in tho open market 15 pounds of silver wore ( â- \\\.\\ to oub ponud of Rold, but thii iniprosfion was wrong. Fifteen pounds of hiherwcro worth more than onopouud of gold, consequently no one brought silver to llie mint to be coined. Uul everyone was eager to liring a pound of gold aud carry away IS pounds of silver coined. One hundred silver dollard could be exuhanged iu tho West Indies for lO; gold Jollars, so an " endless chain" carried all the silver dollars there aud the gold dollars back again. For that reason the losing purchase and ooinagfl of silver was stopped iu 1805. The fluctuation of the metal lusrkst after- wards made Iu pounds of silver worth more thau one puuud of gold aud (onditioiig ware reversed. Tho eheaper slivet dolUr was used in oiroiilatiou and tiie gold dollar was carried to the West Indies and elsewhere. UoDgresH sought to torrect this by miking tho coinage ratio correspond with tbe market Value of thr> metals and adopted tbe much discussed ratio of 10 to 1 by reducing the « eight ot (Told iu a dollar from 24 3-4 grains to 23.22 griins. Ths change was too great. Congress overshot the market. The heavier gold dr.llar was worth more thau tho silver dollar, and was shipped abroad, but the lighter gold dollar was worth less thau the silver dollar, and thu latter disappeared, reproducing tho original condition. No one would bring Edver to the mint, as it could bo more profitably disponed of abroad as bnllioii. Thus when ''ih^ crime of IS73" abolished the provision for tho free coinage of silver, no one paid atteniion to it, as no 0110 would present silver for Coinage. After a few years the discovery of new mines brvjught do«rn tbe value of silver to less thau one-sijteenth the value of gold. SiUer owners theu became desirous of taking wliite metal to the mint aid obtaining oue- sixteantli of its wei,;ht, but more thau its value iu gold. The law, or '•crime'" of 1873 prevented tbeni, hrnce tbe silver agitation. A pound cf gold is now worth aa much as SO pouuds of Bilver. aud tbe prospect of obiaiiiltK; a pound of gold at tho niiut (or 16 pound* o( silver accouutsfor tbe special strength tho agl- tatiou haa daveiopcl.â€" Olube.

Election yarns-good, had and indiffer- entâ€" are now going tha rounds. Uero is one from the Oiungeville Advertiser : On June I'lid an East Luther magistrate commilted John E. McLennan to Orange, ville jail for cniiuiiy as to his sanity. A few days later the Governor of the prison notiliud Dr. Lewis, the jail physician, that McLennan was in custody awaiting p'ofos.sional atteniion, tho (Jovernor add- ing, by way of a joke, that ths prisouer was a good Orit and would like to get back to Ea.st Lutlior in time to vote for Mr. McMullen. From that day until after the election nothing could induce Dr. Lewis to go near tho jail. He was always out of town or busy at tho Financial and Medical Hospital when reminded that he was wanted at the county jail. So poor McLennan languish- ed en in his cheerless cell until fenr days after the election, when the Dr. turned up and in less than five minutes found that the prisoner was aa sane as himself. But imagine Lewla' horror when McLen- nan informed him that he had been a life-long Tory and expressed his disgust that he had uot had an opportunity tu vote for Lionel Clark on June 23rd I The Dr. haau't imiled â- inee, The Markets.
