TO MAKE MONEY SCARCE.
There are a large number of peo
ple in the United States who
sincerely believe that we have not
money enough, and whose chief
desire is to increase the amount of
the currency. We beg leave to re
mind them that oneof the best ways
of doing that is by the protectionist
policy. If we adopt a free trade
tariff, and buy our manufactured
goode in Europe in place ofmaking
them ourselves, there will be a con
stant drain of gold twelve months
in the year V0111 this side of the
Atlantic, the same as there was dur
ing the famous free trade era from
1847 to 1860. President Fillmore.
in his message to Congress in 18ati,
reminded that body that no;wite-
stauding the enormous amount of
gold furnished by the mines oTCali

it was shipped to Kurope to pa' for
manufactured goods. Shall we go

hot, throws off clouds of steam.
Some doctors have a notion, whether
well or ill founded I don't pretend to
know, that this hot, foul smelling vapor
is a capital remedy for whooping cough.
At all events lots of mothers believe
them, and when whooping cough is prev
alent bring their afflicted little ones to
the nearest gas works to inhale it. It was
when several suffering youngsters were
snuffing up the vapor and the odor
around one of the purifying boxes where
he worked that the inspiration seized
him. It was nothing less than to take
this foul lime, bottle it up, give it a high
sounding name and sell it as a specific
for whooping cough, offering a reward
of $.jOO for any case that it couldn't cure,
and all that sort of thing.
"Jeewhittaker!" he exclaimed, enthu
siastically, when expounding the scheme
to me. "Just think of the dead loads of
money that is in it! The lime doesn't
cost anything; the company pays to have
it carted away. I can make a contract
with them to do the carting and make
some money out of it. Then all the ex
pense I will be put to will be for bottles,
labels and advertising. At fifty cents a
bottle it is bound to go like hot cakes.
There is always more or less whooping
cough around, 'it is an ill wind that
blows nobody good.' If I am not a rich

He invested fifty dollars the sum total
of his accumulated savings in bottles.
Then he sought the assistance of capital

He found their lack of faith was propor

His name is still B. ; he still has the bot
tles, but not even the beginning of a for
tune yet.
But it was a big scheme, and he was
very proud of having hatched it and de
lights to talk about the millions that are
still in it for somebody with faith and
capital. New York Herald.

THE late Mr. George Jones, of the
New York Times, had sensible ideas
crithe trai-iin;r of boys. He gave
his sou a good education, and then,
instead of pistimg him into the
light and easy harness of a polite
profession, apprenticed him to the
machinery business, to p-epare
him for the superintendence of the
times 'machinery department, a
position which he now holds. Mr.
Jones was a rich man when he did
this, too. He also educated one of
his daughters as literary editor of
the times, and she still works hard
in that capacity. ,
BECAUSE IT HAS TO.
Says the Nashvill (Tcnn.) Banner:
The State Alliance, "a non-political
bod3'," which deals very largely
if not exclusively in politics, is in
session in the city to-day. The dele
gates will discuss a numder of
interesting subjects in the alleged
interest of the farmers, but among
Miose subjects will doubtless be
none bearing n any distinctively
agricultural q lies "on
In truth the alliance is a political
order with a political platform just
like any other political party.
To which we would add no more
than this: It is a political body in
the South because, in the vernacu
lar of the street, "it has to." It is
not a political body in the North
beciiase it "dosn't have to."
In the North two great parties
always are contending for power
and one or both of them is sure to
grant any reasonable demand made
by a iy class or condition of men
that conders itself unfairlj' treated.
In the South there is but one party,
or rather there is but one party that
is permitted to vote freely or to
speak plainly. The other party has
been proscibed, simply and solely
because its members either did not
believe in slaver- and secession as
a means ot maintaining and ex
tending it, or, "having once so be
lieved, have accepted the results of
the war in good faith, and have con:
formed themselves to the terms
mposed on the South after it had
made unconditional surrender.
The consequences is that the
Southern States are hideously mis-
overned, as all bodies under the
dominion of an irresponsible and
imcrit icseil potentate or party must
be. Wherefore, since the second in
age of the old parties lias not been
Mowed to criticise or to contest
with the elder, a new and third
party has risen. It marks the
beguiling of the end of the South
ern oligarchies. The alliance mav
rrish; the spirit of opposiTion and
i injury which it has worked will
ndiire. And all this because, as
we hare said, in the nature of things
it has it." Inter-Ocean.

A mono" other reasons wny it is

Property is more saleable it you

The Effect of Travel.
It is impossible to compare nations aa
if they were individuals. Each nation
has, so to speak, grown up in an atmos
phere of its own. We must recognize
the peculiarities of other people as neces
sary features of them, and by no means
as characteristics meant to excite laugh
ter in the rest of the world. When first
I traveled abroad I was much amused
by the way the common German eats
with his knife. But habit and a meas
ure of experience have toned down these
feelings until they hardly exist in me.
And nowadays I am as much at home
with the long haired woodman of a Sar
dinian forest, in his grimy little hut, as
in my own English den among my books
and pictures. All the Year Bound.
Nose Ornaments of Barbarians.
The ornaments put through the walls
of the nose vary greatly. There may be
but one perforation in each wall or there
may be several. In New Zealand flowers,
in New Guinea a boar's tusk, in the Solo
mon islands a crab's claw, in New Britain
thorns, set upright, are the objects thus
worn. These are all original and primi
tive; after the natives come in contact
with whites, these give place to metal
buttons and rings. In the Sturgis col
lection is a rather pretty nose ornament
from New Guinea. It is V 6haped, and
the arms fit by stud shanks, one into each
wall of the nose. Professor Frederick
Starr in Popular Science Monthly.

Plattsmouth's steady growth for
five years past almost doubling its
nonnlat ion: the advance stand it

has taken regarding public im

of the great Missouri Pacific rail
way into this city, giving us anoth
er great trunk line and competing
market; the constant increasing
pay roll of the C. li. & (J. shops, to
gether with many other well known
reasons, assure a steady and perma
nent advance in realty, which will
doubtless effect South Park more
favorably than any other portion of
Plattsmouth.
With a view to the encouragement
of a still greater growth of this part
of the city, we will continue to sell
lots on monthly payments, furnish
m oney with which to erect houses
will exchange lots for other im
proved city property or for desir
able improved or unimproved lands
It is not so much the speculator
as the permanent resident that we
i
wish to purchase this disirable
property. Out of over EIGHTY pres
ent owners of South Park
property none are speculators
hence there are no fictitous values
and lots are selling at about the
price they were iminediatly after

why the present is a most desirable
time for investments. Much addi
