A year ago butter sold for 15% and 16 cents per pound. VA -• Wheat years, corn years, and oats and hay and fruit years are always Re­ publican years, remarks the Inter-Ocean. Drought, grasshoppers, la grippe, and prostration in business are sure signs of Democratic success. •flTThe calamityites haven't learned yet that the Welsh tin-plate mills hare shut down and their workmen out of employment. Had such action beeu taken by any manufacturer this side of % Atlantic the Democratic papers would have been full of it. !?«•' 16F*Suicide among octogenariata is Hot of frequent occurrence, but an oc­ casional case comes to light. The other day at Beloit, Wisconsin, Mrs. Philip Frederick, aged 82 years, drowned her­ self in a cistern. She had become a monomaniac on the subject of self-de­ struction, and finally succeeded in carry­ ing out one of her many plans. fev 1ST" While workmen were engaged, on Saturday last, in tearing down the southwest corner of the old "Fair1 building in Chicago, the roof suddenly fell in, burying a score of men in the ruins and badly injuring a number of them. The wonder is that they were not killed outright. The new building when com* pleted, will be a monster, and one of the busiest places on earth. •6^ Mr. Blaine's health seems to be the great question at present. The liar who spread the report of his utter collapse, unwittingly performed some service, for the public has now been made aware of Mr. Blaine's actual condition. The lying report has undoubtedly roused Mr/ Blaine and may result in his benefit, although false reports are not to be recommended "for that reason. Mr. Blaine has learned that the whole country is anxious about him, and this knowledge Is veiy grateful to any public man. Whom the Gods Would iDeatroy, &c The free trade fiction writers eeein to have plunged into that madness that tho gods prepare lor thoae whoiu they would dee troy. Witness this fantastic flight of fancy: This atrocious tax falls upon every household in the land. It makes the workingman pay three prices for his din­ ner pail, and also triples the cost of every tin utensil 1o every housewife. Moreover, it greatly increases the cost to the con­ sumer of canned goods. t Of course everybody knows that ,thewe assertions are lies of the first magnitude. Dinner pails and tin utensils have not been tripled, doubled, nor advanced at all in cost to consumers. Canned goods are not more expensive than they were last year. A single illustration will show the utter absurdity1 of the statements quoted. A dinner pail that retails for twenty-five cents weighs about a pound. The old tariff on a pound of tin-plate was one cent. The new tariff is two and two-tenths cents. So if the entire in­ crease in the tariff be added to the cpst of a dinner pail, the price will be a little less than 26% cents as against the old price of 25 cents. There is quite a differ­ ence between 26% cents and 75 cents--the latter being the figures that would result from tripling the old price, which they falsely say has been done. But a« a mat­ ter of fftct there is no increase at all. The eitra d&itWid agjparter never confronts the retail cuW^ner. He knows nothing about it. - He gets his dinner pail for 25 cents. He may buy a dearer one or a cheaper one. In either case he pays the old price. We do not ask anyone to take these as­ sertions on trust. They can be tested any day at a hundred different stores. Go and buy a dish-pan, a dipper, a cup, a baking tin, or a can of fruit, vegetables, meat or fish. Actual purchases tell the story. The audacity of the free traders is astonishing. What do they expect to gain by such reckless misstatements? And what must the people think of a cause that requires such magnificent ly­ ing to prop it up? The fiction writers seem to have reached a state of mental dizziness that has bereft them of their senses. The products of their imagina­ tion daily grow more and more transpar­ ent and absurd. The common sense of the country revolts at such insults to its intelligence. 16^"The sub-treasury at Chicago han­ dles an immense sum of money in the course of a year. During the fiscal year ending June 30,1891, as shown by the report of Gen. Dustin, the receipts were $77,584,354, and the disbursements $76,321,587. Both show a large increase over the figures for the previous >urees from which this m sustoms, internal' offices No; <HSlnBrs«i»ents, i paid out lor Hard on the Women. The law permitting women to vote at school elections in this State, jmnrrd by the last Legislature, is unconstitutional, the word "sex ' relative to voters in the constitution being a barrier to its opera­ tion. This is unfortunate.--Streator Free Press. The word "sex" is not in the constitu­ tional provision referred, but there is a stipulation that a voter "shall be a male citizen of the United States above the age of 21 years," which is about as conclu­ sive. It is strange that this prohibition was overlooked by the members of the • ^;jlE*8iriatiire.---OtfaTra Republican. u wise Action. , The decision of the Secretary of the ^ treasury to refund the 4% per cent bonds due in September at 2 {fcr cent will be approved by the business men of the country. The refunding of these bonds will prevent the withdrawal of national bank circulation and prevent a consider able drain on the treasury at a when the readjustment of revenues by BSW tariff and internal revenue regula- Hons is not completed. The secretary has also decided to' stop the coinage of standard dollars under - the, new law providing for the purchase of bullion. The portion of the lawgiving the sepretary discretion in the matter of ^ coinage took effect on the first of July $here is nogood reason for piling up any nore standard dollars. John Sherman's Words of Wisdom/' Senator J ohn Shaman says: "I can appreciate the earnest demand of the producers of silver bullion that the United States should pay $ 1.29 an ounce for silver bullion which, in the markets of the world has beeit for a series of years worth only about fl an ounce, some­ times a little more, sometimes a little lees.

To the ex­ tent that the enormous demand made by the existing law advances the price of silver the producer receives the benefit, and to-day the production of silver is probably the most profitable industry in the United States. To ask more seems to me unreasonable, and if yielded will bring all our money to the single silver standard alone, demonetize gold and de­ tach the United States from the standard of the great commercial nations of the world. The unreasonable demand for the free coinage of silver has nothing to do with the reasonable demand for the increase of the volume of money required by the increase of business and popula­ tion of the United States. We have pro­ vided by existing law for the increase of money to an amount greater than the increase of business and population, but even if more money is required there are many ways of providing it without cheap­ ening the purchasing power of our money or making a wide difference between the kinds of money in circulation based on silver and gold. Our productions of every kind are increasing, and it seems to me almost a wild lunacy for us to dis­ turb this happy condition by changing the standard of all contracts, inducing special contracts payable in gold, and again paying gold to capitalists, and silver at an exaggerated price to the farm laborer and pensioner."

There is nothing that is a greater swindle than adulteration in Paint. The majority will claim that "a gallon is a gallon,1 Consequently one brand is as good as another. Not so, however. If a Paint is adulterated at all, as a rule it is not less than 33 per cent., and consequently will do just that much leas worls than an Absolutely Pure Paint; or, in othei words, two gallons of Pure Paint will cover m much surface as three gallons of an adulter- ated Paint.
