Strictly Pure White Lead is best: properly applied it will not scale, chip, chalk, or rub off; it firmly adheres to the wood and forms a permanent base for repainting. Paints which peel or scale have to be removed by scraping or burning before satisfactory repainting can be done. When buying it is important to obtain Strictly Pure White Lead properly made. Time has proven that white lead made by the "Old Dutch" process of slow corrosion possesses qualities that cannot be obtained by any other method of manufacture. This process consumes tour to six montns time, and produces the brands that have given White Lead its character as the standard paint. "Southern" "Collier" V Red Seal" are standard brands of strictly pure Lead made by the "Old Dutch" pro cess. You get the best in buyine them. You can produce any desired color by tinting these brands of white lead with National Lead Co.'s Pure White Lead Tinting Colors. For sale by the moat reliable dealers in Paints everywhere. If you are going to paint, It will pay you to end to us for a book containing information that may save yoa many dollar: it will only coat you a postal card to do so.

The haughty Inso lence and arogant assumptions .of the slave power had more to do with its overthrow than the . evils of slavery, and hastened its downfall, no doubt, many years sooner than would have occurred had it been less arbitrary. The gold worshipers do not seem to have read history to any purpose, but are going blindly toward with a policy that will as surelv overturn and ue- r throne their idol as that slavery was destroyed. The tyranny of gold was never so lully exemplified in this country as it has been within the past six months. It began its con- piracy in 1891, and has since steadily intrenched Itself until it to-day evi dently considers Itself master of the situation, hence its haughty insolence and arrogant assumptions. Oold is but a basis of a new form of slavery more heartless and tyrannical than chattel slavery. The control of free labor is found to be more profit able than slave labor, and this is ac complished by controlling the volume of money a thing easily accomplished so long as gold is recognized as the basis of money. To try to effect a financial reform and at the same time recognize gold as material for money, will prove as fallacious and useless as a treaty of peace , would have been during the war of " the rebel lion that would have preserved the institution of slavery. The eyes of the people are opening, and the more they study the money problem the more they realize not only the inutility of gold as a money, or a basis for money, but Its, baneful effects and injurious influences upon society, commerce and industry. Its business ever has been and ever will be to rob labor and industry. It poses as honest money, and yet no money is so unreliable and dishonest gold. It is always cowardly and can never be trusted in ine nour 01 emergency. It never fought a battle . or saved a nation, Decause wnen needed most it skulks and hides. , Oold will be demonetized in this country within the next decade. THE DEMONETIZING OF SILVER. Hon. Roger Q. Mills in the House of Representatives on Feb. 3, 1386 said: "The agricultural States have suffered eighty times more than the silver States by the demonetization of silver, and would be benefited eighty times more by free coinage, and Sir, by this Infamous crime of 1873, the farmers are now suffering a yearly loss of 11,300, OOO.OOiO." That was democratic authority in ISM. Hon. John J. Id galls stated the lame in the United States Senate on Feb. 15, 1878. Here we have good Re publican authority. This infamous crime of the Repub lican and Dawoeratlo parties is stiU the law snd they both refuse to right . If we are to have any metallic money silver ia mveh better aad more valu able la eooseserclal sense than gold, Ssvea-Unths of the papulation of the world use silver for money. A silver dollar will buy ore tea in Cfaisa to-day, than a gold dollar. , Stiver is Ike money of South and Cestral A merle, aad while England flvea M eealefcca Vesleae silver dollar Ataerioaa statesmanship (r) gives only II eat.

The Harvey County News is the name of a new Populist weekly es tablished at Newton, Kansas, last week by Messrs. Kles dfc Bailey, pub lishers of the Kansas Commoner. , The People's Press of San Francisco estimates the gains of Populist votes in that State as three to one over the vote oast for Weaver. The attacks being made on water works, gss and electrlo lighting mon opolies show the people are being aroused in a way that bodes no good to these systems of robbery. : e ... The establishing of two Populist pspers in North Carolina recently in dicates increasing strength in the cause in the "Old North State." , . France has $00 per capita, has more gold than any other nation and yet maintains bl-metallsm. Her banks pay out both gold and sliver. This country has tried English finan ciering long enough, W will have an American policy of finance or know the reason why. , . , , Notwithstanding three-fourths of the States in Democratic conventions declared in favor of free silver, New York and Cleveland" have concluded that the country shall not have free coinage. Great is Wall Street England coined over 50,000,000 of silver more than she produced in 1890. Is it any wonder she wants cheap silver in this country when she de pends upon us for her supply? Bill Morrison of Illinois, says "the present tariff will probably have to be borne for an indefinite time and per haps increased." Where is tariff re vision now? Only a few months ago we were told that the tariff robbed the people to the extent of $700,000,000 annually. What infernal frauds the old parties are anyway. The man ,who still declares that "money never has been, is not now, and never will be a creation of law," is a stupid ass, and is more to be pitied than condemned. mm Christ, Luther, Columbus, Galileo, George Htepheuson, Fulton, Morse, Gerritt Smith, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, John Brown, Wendell Phillips, and every other man who happens to know more than you do, is and has been called a crank. What a tame old world this would be if it were not for the cranks There is a good deal of scratching of Democratic heads going on now, and an earnest Inquiry being made as to the exact whereabouts of that party. The conclusion is reached by many that Cleveland accepted the Chicago convention's nomination and not Its platform. r . e) e The Farmer's Tribune solves the gold problem in two Hoes whea it says: "How to keep gold in the United States Treasury. Don't pay it out." This la so simple and practicable we wonder Carlisle and Cleveland never thought of IV They nave, per haps, but their problem has bees how to Wet serve Wall Street. Evidenees of sanity oeeeslonally bob up in Republican aewsaaser ofScea, The Chleago Inter Oossa said recently!

A Republican Legislature in Massa chusetts killed a fifty-six hour bill be fore that body, and yet that party passes as the friend of the laboring man ' 1 m m a The Ohio State Labor Bureau has secured situations lor more than thlrty-elgbt thousand people. The Labor Commissioner of Kansas has established an Employment Bureau and is having many applications. ':' A Pittsburg, Pa., glass company has proposed to its employes a plan of profit sharing. Can anybody assign a sinsrle good reason why a system of this kind may not be inaugurated? The Pinkertons are shut out of Michigan. If the people keep .after these thugs they will have them in a hole soon. It is said that the people of Toronto are rapidly coming s round to me municipalization of street railways, j That idea is not confined to Detroit by Jugful. ' e, a .. The Populist Sta&' government la Kansas is making it warm for oorpor- j ations, trusts and underground insur ance companies. ...... . The working people of Lake Linden, Mioh., elected their own kind of people to office last spring, and now they are getting what they ask for. That is the practical way. If the people want any reforms they must elect men favor able to such reforms. Pious John Wanamaker is having v-k 1 11 a 1 et a striae in nis rnuaaeipuia , store. Waiters are atriking for 97.50 a week. No doubt Pious John's daily prayer la: O, Lord, save me from the greed and avarice of these pesky waiters." It was fully expected that the subsi dized press of the country could be de pended upon to oppose the income tax and the country is not being dis appointed. It would be better to be dog and bay the moon than a plute editor. ' e e . When the accounts of business fail ures oan be condensed In a column of an ordinary dally newspaper nowadays the "business outlook" is said to be "eacouraging." 1 Governor Lowelllng of Kansas baa addressed a letter to the Qovernors of other States asking their eo-operation in inducing the railroads to lower the World's Fslr rates. e It now tarns out that the novel method of restoring confidence adopted br the Plaaklagton Bank officials of Milwaukee la running la a safe by special caglna and ear froas Chicago, aarrouaded by Plabertoa detcetivea aad guards, aad maklag great dla play daring the late run oa that bank, was a great fakea Qseker gen affair, aa It turas oat that the safe was scatty.

The great majority of people la this country and in all countries, now, aad for hundreds of years past, have enter tained the idea that the so-called finan ciers were the only class of people who thoroughly understood the science of money; that they alone were only competent to teach monetary science, to legislate and regulate systems for the use of money; tbat finance waa an abstruse question with which the com mon people were not to meddle, be cause of their inability to comprehend it, but must be left to the control of the financiers ,-, - v - No greater error was ever enter tained by any people. This is em phasized in the fact that economic ills spring from erroneous teachings along this line than any other element la our government - t The truth is, the men . who make money, aa a class, icnow less 01 monetary science than any other people. The capacity to make money t does not Involve the science of money, , any more than the capacity to run a machine requires the ability to make it, nor should the matter of legislation upon tbls question be the prerogative of financiers. . Money-getting or the Unease of money-making have no more to do with monetary science then the man who buys a ship and runs it had In lta construction. Financial legislation should bo the work of statesmanship of men who comprehended the basio principles of money, and a proper application of the same to the requirements of tne people in commerce snd trade The periodic financial troubles the world haa encountered for ages past are attributable to the fact that the science of money haa been left almoat wholly to the class known as finan ciers, bankers and money-makers, and their policy has ever been to mystify the question of finance and make it appear aa difficult to be comprehended, a matter that bankers and financiers alons are competent to deal with, aad a a result financial legislation for thousands of years, has ever been la the interest of the financiers, and always of a discriminat ing character against the producing clssses or common people, and henoe always wrong.

Aa individual may accumulate millions of money without a knowledge of itsbaaie ' principles, while on the other hand an individual may fully comprehend the science of money and ita application to economic principles, and yet be greatly deficient in the art of money-getting, if such can be called an art , Money in its uses is a science not so deep and abstruse as to be beyond the comprehension of ordinary nvnde, but a science nevertheless simple aad easily understood if studied. Our monetary system as applied to day is a thing of chance and not of ap plied science. In recognising gold and silver, or any particular material as a basis of money, is to base our whole monetary system upon the mere chanee of the discovery of these metala in the mountains, or the capabilities of pro ducing a certain material, and it re quires but little investigation to deter mine the fallacy of such a system. The single-standard advocates make crold the basis of all money basins ths very life blood of commerce aad trade upon a substance the supply of which is universally conceded to be inadequate to oar demands, aad yet wholly dependent upon chance ia ita production. The financiers insist, too, that money must have an intrinsic value, and yet ' money, aa money, haa no intrinsic value. The moment that the material of which money ia made la possessed of intrinsic worth it eeasee to be money aad is merely a commodity.
