REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE.
TVhat tbs T»ri« Has Dane for Farmer*.
Senator Mills, the apostle of southern
free trade, in his speech on ihe repeal
of the Sherman bill, presented a table
of wages and cost of certain articles.
* which makes very interesting reading.
'l'he showing made by the senator
from Texas as to the prices of articles
produced by fanners and the prices of
articles consumed liy them applies with
double force to show the improvement
in the condition of the laboring classes
not engaged in agriculture. While, as
stated, wages have constantly in
creased. the prices of articles consumed
by them, including agricultural pro
ducts, have greatly decreased. The
senator said:
I have constructed a table which I
present here for the consideration of
the public. The prices of cotton, corn,
wheat, bacon, lard, pork, beef, butter,
cheese, and tobacco 1 have taken from
the Statistical Abstract. These are the
articles which the farmer sells. Then
I have taken the articles which the far
mer bnya Some of them are from the
Statistical Abstract and others from the
report of the committee on finance:
the freight rates are from Poor’s Man
ual. a standard authority on railway
matters. The articles which the far
mer buys are refined sugar, nails, iron,
coffee, tea, sheeting, drilling, shirting,
standard prints, print cloth, quinine,
goblets, window glass, undershirts,
ginghams, pepper, and molasses. I
have also included steel rails and freight
rates All these articles have fallen
since 1873, as is shown by the table,
This table shows that from 1873 to
1891 cotton fell S3 per cent or from 18c
to 10c; corn 0, wheat 30, bacon-and
hams 14. lard 23, pork 34, beef 37, but
ter 33. cheese 31, and tobacco 1ft. These
are the articles which farmers sell.
The average decline of the ten articles
is 36. 1 per cent between 1873 and 1891.
During the same time refined sugar de
clined SO percent, nails 62, bar iron
31, steel rails 7;i. Kio coffee 11. tea 73.
sheeting 48. drilling 55, shirting 45,
standard prints 47, print cloth 56, qui
nine 89, glass goblets 70, 10x14 window
glass 50, undershirts 56, ginghams 54,
carpets 56, pepper 52, molasses 53.
These are the articles the farmer
buys. Now, if what he buys declines
at an equal ratio with vrhat he sells ho
is just as well off at one time us an
other. But if what he buys falls more
in price than what he sells he is bene
fitted. When we average the articles
he buys we find that the decline is 55.4
percent. He has been benetttted by
the fall in prices.
These prices in tile table show con
clusively that the farmer has been ben
efittcd by the general fall of prices,
because his products would buy more
in 1891 than in 1873. in 1873* cotton
was worth 18.Scents per pound, and
1.000 pounds were worth S1SS, and at
that time it would buy 766 gallons of
illuminating oil, or 1,620 pounds of re
fined sugar, or 4}<J tons of pig iron, or
2 tons of bar iron, or 1 tons of steel
rails, or 3,832 pounds of nails, or 1,412
yards of sheeting, or 1,330 yards of
drilling, or 970 yards of shirting, or
1,653 yards of standard prints, or 2,810
yards of print cloth; while in 1891 1,000
pounds of cotton was worth 8100 andat
the prices of these same things at that
time it would buy 1.428 gallons of oil.

drilling, 940 yards of shirting, 1,600

With the exception of shirting, it
would buy more of every other article
enumerated, and the difference in that
was very small. One thousand pounds

True Friend* at the Farmer and labor
ing Man.
In the senate, September 18, 1893,
Mr. Molph said; The men who are con
stantly endeavoring to make the agri
cultural and laboring classes dissatisfied
with their condition, and who seek to
array them against the manufacturing
I and wealthy classes, are not the true
i friends of the farmer and laboring
| man. There will not be in this country
a general distribution of the wealth
per capita. The government is never
going to issue money for gratuitous
distribution. There never will come a
day when wealth will eease to be the
| product of labor usefully employed.
'Hie prosperity of every class of our
citizens is intimately connected with
the prosperity of every other class. A
blow aimed at the manufacturing
classes will fall heaviest upon the agri
cultural and laboring classes. My
sympathies are with the great army of
laborers. A considerable portion of
my life has been spent upon the farm
l and at hard manual labor. All that I
have, or have accomplished, is the re
sult of hard work. 1 have no use for a
man who despises labor and will not
work.
All my life I have advocated those
measures which I have believed to be
in the interest of the masses. 1 at
tached myself to the republican party
j because it was opposed to slavery and
in favor of free labor; because it was in
i favor of protecting American labor: in
I favor of providing the means of gen
j oral education and making American
, citizen free, intelligent and independ
ent The republican party abolished
the system of labor which tended to ]
degrade labor in this country and has
sought to dignify and protect lab,.r. H
! provided homes for American citizens
by the homestead law. It has sought
! by the protective policy to provide em
ployment for all who are willing to
i work. It secured to settlers the means
of reaching our vast public domain and
and provided them with the means of
transportation of their products to
market. It has, when in control of
congress, been constantly legislating
I in the interest cf the laboring man. It
I has reduced the number of iiours in a
j day's work upon public works. It has
I legislated against the importations of
; coolies, and against the coming to our
| shores of laborers under contract. It
| has established a Department of Agri
! culture to impart useiul information to
! the people, to make costly experiments
' for their benefit, to distribute seeds
' and new varieties of fruits, vegetables,
I and grasses, for the protection of
fruits and vegetables and grasses from
insects and blights, and for the preven
tion of diseases among domestic ani
i mats. It has provided for meat inspec
tion, and successfully labored to se
cure the introduction of our products
abroad. It has provided for the im
provement of waterways, and the reg
ulation and control of railroads to
i cheapen transportation.
Silver for Asia.
In his remarks on the proposition to
coin Mexican dollars at our mints re
cently introduced in the Seuate by
Senator Wolcott, republican. Senator
Sherman said:
• This proposition is, I think, a ven^
taking one. If it is possible for the
presitient of the United States to nego
tiate a treaty with Mexico, by which
the United states might issue practi
cally the silver coin now known as the
Mexican dollar, and that coin can be
used for a commercial dollar to be ex
ported, not made a legal tender and not
to be coined to an unlimited extent ex
cept for exportation, then I can see
that it wouid give employment to prob
ably a vast amount of silver.
Iso man can estimate the amount
which might be used in such a country
as China. China contains a popula
tion, it is said, of 400,0110,000, and many
of them are very intelligent people.
They are shrewd, active people, who
understand precisely me vuiue 01 me
dollar, and measure it to the last grain.
If we can secure by a treaty stipula
tion an arrangement with Mexico, liy
which a dollar may be coined in our
mints for exportation, then undoubted
ly we should be able to give employ
ment to a considerable amount of sil
ver, we should relieve Mexico from the
burden, and probably the expense, of
coining that silver, and if we can send
$100,000,000 or as much as can be pro
duced in this country to China or the
eastern countries, it will tend to ad
vance the price of silver: and there is
no one who does not desire to advance
the price of silver nearer and nearer to
the standard of gold. I shall, there
fore. vote for the resolution. '
If we cannot coin Mexican dollarslet
ns coin a trade dollar of our own,
giving it the same legal tender value of
our present dollar and arrange to sup
ply the nations of Asia. They all need
more silver; they can absorb $500,000
worth and help to put silver on its old
plane with gold. Many of these Asiatic
nations have no mints We could coin
for them annually a given number of
dollars to be legal tender in each
countrv. This would help us, help
them, and greatly increase the value of
silver in the world.
Home Interests Neglected.
It is cnrreetly reported that a joint
t committee of the two houses of con
i gress will soon be raised for the pur
pose of trying to discover a single thing
the present administration has done
during its fourteen months of manage
ment, to promote American interest or
to bring honor to the American name
at home or abroad._

Secretary Gresham’s policy seems to
be very much like some of his late
court decisions—liable to be set aside.

Two notices, framed, glazed and sus
pended upon the walls of a dramshop
os. the New canal, at 8t. Petersburg,
close to Mme. Sassetzki’s “Refuge for
the Homeless,” are reokoned among the
curiosities of the Russian capital. They
run as follows: “Iexhort the gentlemen
who honor my establishment with their
patronage to forego robbery and theft
while within its precincts, not to thrash
oue another, and, on the whole, not to
make unpleasant noises. Those who
act in contravention to this warning will
receive punishment in my dramshop of
a sort they will experience no difficulty
in feeling." The second notice affords
a quaint contrast to the first: “As soon
as the cold and rainy weather shall set
in, five copecks will be here advanced
to each needy and weary man, that he
may pay for a bed whereon to rest his
body.” The author of these notices
faithfully adheres to the text of both.

lild Yon Ever Meet a Truly Good Man?
No doubt you think you have, but we'll
wager a dime or so he did not have the rheu
uiatism. If he did, li£ $wore occasionally,
and no man can be truly good who swears
occasionally. Health, nerve tranquility and
morality are apt to go hand in hand, raln
ful spasmodic diseases like rheumatism and
ucurulglu ruin the temper, make one mo
rose, peevish and rebellious. This is a sad
fact, but it Is none tlit* less true. Drive away
the pain, mollify the temper, restore tran
quility of mind in cases of rheumatism and
neuralgia with Hostetler's Stomach Hitters,
an anodyne and tonic of comprehensive
range and effect. It healthfully stimulates
the kidneys, bladder, stomach, liver and
bowels when inactive, ami induces sleep and
appetite. A very quieting effect, not an un
natural, stupefying one like that of an opi
ate, is produced by a wineglussful before
retiring, it is incomparable in malarial
diseases.
Vo Slow.
An old Boston merchant recently re
marked:
“I've stood here on State street (or
forty years, and I have seen men ac
cumulate fortunes by speculation, and
I’ve seen these fortunes disappear. I
have seen men go up in worldly wealth,
and go down, and I’ve always noticed
that those persons who were content
with alow gains and 6 per cent, inter
est came out ahead in the long run.'’
The result of the old merchant’s ob
servations is abundantly confirmed by
the history of the trade and finance of
every commercial city in the world.
Strict adherence to the honorable and
legitimate methods of business—some
times slow, but always sure—is the
secret of the solidity attained by al
most every man. of wealth who has ac
cumulated a fortune in business and
kept it.

Evert farmer, says tlie Country
Gentleman, has noticed that about the
time of wheat harvest, if the fowls are
allowed the run of the fields and barn
yards, there is a material iqgrease in the
egg supply. I think the second fact is
the natural result of the first. I have
fed oorn, oats, barley, buckwheat, flax,
and sunflower seeds, and have found
nothing equal to whole wheat as food
for fowls. For young clinks it seems
esjjeciallv adapted. After two or three
days of feeding on soft food the young
chickens will pick up the whole wheat
quite greedily, and wul thrive on it as
on nothing else. Growing ohickens
have a large demand for lime, and es
pecially bone material, and this is more
nearly supplied in whole wheat than in
any other grain. If wheat were $2 per
bushel it would still be the cheap
est food for young chicks. Farmers
can; however, economize by feeding
wheat screenings and damaged wheat,
which, though unsalable, is nearly as
good for cbioken feed.

A Cork for Scarlet Fever.—The
following recipe from the Country
Gen tleman shows the efficacy of the
sulphur care: The foreign journals
quite generally notice the successful
treatment of scarlet fever by Dr. H.
Pigeon, by the use of sulphur. It ap
pears that all the cases in which he em
ployed this remedy were well marked,
and the epidermis on the arms in each
case came away like the skin of a snake.
The patient was thoroughly anointed
twice daily with sulphur ointment, and
five or ten grains of sulphur given in a
little jam three times a day. Sufficient
sulphur was burned twice daily on coals
on a shovel to fill the room with the
fumes, and, of course, was thoroughly
inhaled by the patient. Dr. Pigeon ,
asserts that, under his mode of treat
ment, each case improved immediately,
and none were over eight days in mak
ing a complete recovery.

Japanese Breaches of Promise.
After a Japanese lover has proven
false to his vows, tho deserted maiden
rises early in tho morning, and dons a
white robe and high sandals or clogs.
Her coif is a metal tripod, in which are
tlirast three lighted candles; around
her neck she hangs a mirror, which falls
upon her bosom; in her hand she car
ries a small straw figure—the effigy of
her faithless lover—and in her right
hand she carries a hammer and nail,
with which she noils into one of the
sacred trees that sunound the shrine.
Then she prays for the death of the
traitor, vowing that if her petition be
heard she will herself pull out tho nails
which offend the god by wounding the
mystio tree. Night after night she
comes to the shrine, and each night she
strikes in two mere nails, believing that
every nail will shorten her lover’s life,
for the god, to save his tree, will surely
strike him dead. It is a curious illus
tration of the deep hold superstition yet
has on the Japanese mind.

Why Chinamen Never Naturalise.
The peual code of China contains a
provision which ia correctly translated
as follows:
••AH persons renouncing their ocmntry
and allegiance or devising tlie means
thereof shall be Urheaded, and in the
pnnislunrnt of this offense no distinction
sliall be made between princqmls and
accessories. Tim property of sJl sueli
criminals sliall be contlscwtcd and their
wives and children distributed as slaves
to the great officers of state. * * *
The parents, grandparents, brothers and
Edohildrcn of such criminals, whether
totally living with them under tlm
same root or not, shall lie iierpotually
banished to tlie distonee of 2,(100 leagues.
All those who purposely conceal or con
nive at this crime shall be strangled.
Those who iuform against, criminals of
tliis class shall be rewarded with the
whole of their property. * • * It
the crime is contrived but not executed,
tlie principals are to be strangled and
the accessories punished with blows and
blmishment”
This provision, which has only lately
become. known, explains why John has
no particular desire to naturalize, cut off

conferred a more incalculable blessing
on California tlion any Caucasian in the
State has ever done or ever will do,

to naturalise while that section of the

changed.—A’an I'raneism Chronicle.

known and much respected lady, Mrs. John
R. Foster, residing at No. 53 Chapin Street,
Canandaigua, N. Y. She writes to Dr. R.
V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to two
invalids' Hotel and* Surgical Institute
st Buffalo, N. Y., as follows: “ I was
troubled with eczema, or salt-rheum, seven
years. I doctored with a number of
nur home physicians and roccived no
benefit whatever. I also took treatment
from physicians in Rochester, Now York,
Philadelphia, Jersey City, Binghamton, and
received no benefit from them. In fact
1 have paid out hundreds of dollars to the
doctors without benefit. My brother came
to visit us from the West and he told me to
try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
He had taken it and it had cured him. I
have taken ten bottles of the ' Discovery,’
and am entirely cured, and if there should
be any one wishing any information I would
gladly correspond with them, if they enclose
return stamped envelope."
Not lees remarkable is the following from
Mr. J. A. Buxton, a prominent merchant
of Jackson, N. C., who says: “I had
been troubled with skin disease all my
life. As I grew older the disease seemed
to be taking a stronger bold upon me. I tried
many advertised remedies with no benefit,
until I was led to trvDr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. When I began taking
it my health was very poor ; in fact, several
persons have Binoc told me that they thought
t had the consumption. I weighed only aliout
135 pounds. The eruption on my skin was
accompanied by severe itching. It was first
confined to my face, but afterwards spread'
over the neck and head, and the itching be
came simply unbearable. This was my con
dition when I began taking the ‘Discovery.’
When I would rub the parts affected a kind
of branny scale would rail off.
For a while I nw no change or benefit
from taking the ‘Discovery,’ but I persisted
in its use, keeping my bowels open by taking
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and taking as
much outdoor exercise os was possible, until
I began to gain in flesh, and gradually thw
disoase released its hold. I took during the '
year somewhere from fifteen to eighteen bot
tles of the ‘Discovery.’ It has now beat
four years since I first used it, and though
not using scarcely any since the first your, ‘
my health continues good. My average '
weight being 155 to 160 pounds, instead of
125, as it was when I began the use of the A
■Discovery.’ Many persons have reminded
me of my improved appearance. Home
say I look younger than I did six year*
ago when I was married. I am now forty
eight years old, and stronger, and enjoy '
better health than I have ever done before '
in my life.” Your, truly,
