The Ameiican people are just now at the tecder mercy of the gold boarders. THOMAS JEFFERSON said: paper must be suppressed 'Bank and tbe issue of circulating medium lestored to the nation to whom it belongs. Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies." Daniel Webster said: "No nation can long remain free where the tendency of the laws is to concentrate the weivlth into the hands of the tew." IN this issue of the Pharos will be found the announcement of Stephen G. Conrad as a candidate for county commissioner, north district. Mr.

Conrad is one of the old and respected citizens of this county. He is a worthy man; is economical in the management of his own affairs and would be watchful and careful in the management of county affairs. He is well and favorably known in the north district. He has always been steadfast Democrat. THE Lafayette Journal, which has been quoted as being off on the Democratic ticket says editorially: "Not a Democratic paper in Indiana has bolted the Chicago ticket, and but few are the individuals who have done so; and for every capitalist Democrat who have left his party there are scores of Republicans coming to take his piace.

The sentiment in lavor of this country being controlled by the masses, is growing every day, and the present indications are that Bryan will be elected by the largest plurality of any president that has ever occupied the chair." in obit pro- it con- reason 200 Cent Dollar; 100 Cent Man. A well-known laboring man expresses the following views on the free coinage question: "Labor is more concerned taining high prices for what duces than in securing what sumes at low prices for the that labor always oroduces more than it consumes. Those articles which are open to which have not been followed silver in its decline in value. Gold and other monopolized products have risen in value as the others have declined. "The corollary of the proposition that the silver in a silver country is only worth 50 cents in gold is that the gold in a gold dollar is worth 200 cents in silver.

Labor, therefore, on a gold basis gets one gold dollar when it would get two silver dollars. Since all taxes, rents, interest and insurance are paid by labor out of the surplus which it secures on its products over consumptions, it follows that the diminished purchasing power of the dollar which would follow the Demonetization of silver would double the fund out of which labor pays these things. Those who have labor to sell want dear labor and cheap money. Those who have money to sell want cheap labor and dear money. A hundred-cent dollar means a fifty-cent man.

Labor is beginning to understand that labor rest on the broad ground of agriculture as a house rests on its foundation. When farming pays the mechanic is not only employed but'well paid; when farming declines the mechanic is only partially employed and never well paid. This is one reason why oreanized labor desires the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. What tbe tJold Standard Means. One dollar today will buy worth against the 81 worth that the dollar of the daddies would purchase.

What is the basis of the incredible demand for areturn to the condition of A very good argument in support of the proposition that gold has appreciated nearly 100 per cent since the demonetization of silver in 1873. When silver was demonetized the daddy dollar would buy just as much as a gold dollar. The destructiou of silver as a money metal left values resting solely on gold. According to 'the Journal's statement gold has appreciated 75 per cent since 1873. Who has-suffered by this doubling up of the purchasing power of gold? The American farmer.

The value of his products has fallen as the purchasing power of gold has increased. Wages and everything that labor pra- duces must eventually fall to the sarce level. Who has been "the gainer by the demonetization ot silver? England and the holders of American securities. England buys twice as much cotton, twice as much wheat and twice as much pork for a dollar now as she could buy for a dollar before the demonetization of silver. The capitalistic class, both in England and America, are rapidly increasing their wealth under the single gold standard, while the Amer- can farmer is growing poorer every year.

These facts answer the Journal's questions as to why the peo- ile demand a return to the louble return to ihe financial system established by reffersoa and Hamilton and under which the Republic prospered for 80 years and under which the American farmer, the source of the nation's greatness, held half the wealth of the nation. The Journal admits that under the single gold stardard one dollar will purchase as much as 81.75 did under tne double standard when our mints were open to the free coinage of both gold aad silver. This being true, how can any farmer vote to maintain the single gold standard? How can he to maintain a system that has already reduced farm values 75 per cent, and which threatens to still further reduce the value of farms and farm products? The way that Wilfrid Laurier formally succeeds Sir Charles Tupper as premier of Canada is- this: Tapper resigns in consequence of the Dominion elections having gone against Sir Charles' party, the Conservative. Then the governor general of Canada, Lord Aberdeen, sends for Wilfrid and asks him to take the place of prime minister and form cabinet of other ministers of the Liberal political party. The proceeding is to that which takes place when one political party gives place to another in Great old prime minister resigning and the queen summoning the leader of the victorious party to become premier and choose his assistants.

When a man wishes to something about the latest discoveries in photography why should he begin to talk of the wonders wrought by steam and electricity? Yet that is about as near as the average doctor, lawyer or college professor can come to a direct statement of what he is going to talk about These people would have known better if they had been trained to write on the staff of a live newspaper for a few years. Congress ought to admit delegates from Alaska. Why should it not? If any territory ever paid its way as it went, it has been Alaska. FORTY YEARS OP SUFFERING FROM PILES. Remarkable Cure of Popular Major Dean, of Columbus, Ohio.

People who suffer from that annoying end obstinate disease will be gratified to learn that science has discovered a safe, convenient and simple cure for every form of piles, as the experience of the popular Major Dean, of Columbus, Ohio, amply attests. Tbe Major says: I would like to" add my name to the thousands who have been cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure. I know from experience that it is tbe only remedy on earth that will effectually cure piles; plenty of remedies give relief for time, but as for a lasting cure I had tried all the lotions, without success. Six boxes of the Pyramid Pile Cure entirely removed all traces of a case of piles of forty years standing. Ton may rest assured that the Pyramid Pile has no staunchex advocate than myself.

I feel that it is my duty to allow yon to nsa my name in any way you may see fit, in order that other sufferers may thus be directed to what I feel certain will be a speedy relief cure. lie Pyramid Pile Cure gives instant relief and a permanent cure in all kinds of blind, bleeaing, itching piles. It is absolutely free from opiates, cocaine and similar poisons, so common in pile cures. Pyramid Pile is sold by drnp fists at SO cents and fl.OO. A book on cause and cure of Piles wfll free by addressing UM Pyramid A1MAD Cleveland's Friend Played Them.

Eastern papers are mating merry iver what they call "the gullibility of i westerners." And indeed if the story is true that is told of hundreds of Democrats in the western states, then they deserve to be called gulls at the very least. A fascinating yonth, who pretended to be a warm admirer of President Cleveland and a member of the United States secret service besides, visited a number of extremely rural regions which really did happen to be in the west His first mission was to find ont in each locality the rock ribbed friends of President Cleveland. He told these each in turn that the president was fully aware of their unalterable devotion to Democracy and Cleveland, and that he was deeply touched by it. Ho, the president, was preparing for a third term. To get money for the campaign, the greenbacks when they were retired "wero not destroyed, as was the general impression.

It seems incredible that the fellow could have made anybody believe there was an impression anywhere that greenbacks were destroyed, but such seems to be the case. He told the rock ribbed Clevelamiites that these retired greenbacks were put together in one huge vault to be used for re-electing Cleveland. A secret society of faithful Democrats was being organized, moreover, and the cream of the joke was that the retired greenbacks were to be divided among the members of this secret society, who would get $4,000 each. Members would be admitted to the order on payment of an initiation fee of $250 each. The fee was of course, to the faithful secret agent himself.

The bunko was so palpable that it seems as if nobody but a child or a born idiot would be caught by it, yet this precious scoundrel collected not less than $60,000 and baffled all the skill of the real United States secret service bureau for several years before he was caught. It looks as if the people who can be swindled that easily ought to swindled, just so as to get their eyeteeth cut. Revealed by Photography. By the aid of photography it has been possible to get pictures of things that the naked eye cannot catch, sometimes because they pass so swiftly, again because they are too small to be seen by the unaided sight. Star photography is perhaps the most illustrious instance.

By attaching photograph apparatus to a very powerful telescope and leaving the plate exposed a considerable time it has been found that on the plate are stars invisible to the naked eye. By again enlarging the picture on the plate it has been possible to examine more or less narrowly the star photograph. Similar methods are' adopted in taking photographs of the sun during an eclipse. It is too bright for the eye to look at steadily, but the photograph plate stares at it calmly and unwinkingly and gets its picture in spite of it. Results which fill the mind with admiration and wonder have been obtained by photographing electrical discharges as they occur simply in the ordinary course of laboratory experiments.

One picture will show a discharge resembling in shape and symmetry a beautiful flower or plant, as a fern or carnation. Again there will be a picture closely resembling in outline a starfish. In the lightning discharge as in the fish, star or flower, nature repeats the ideas fixed in her mind and gives us the same shapes. American shipbuilding increased to a gratifying extent the past year. The most marked feature is the greatly increased construction of steel ships.

There were 709 ships of all kinds built this fiscal year against 683 last -year, and of these a large per cent were of steel Iron is not good enough to build vessels any more, but they must now be of steel. It is to be no ted that the shipbuilding industry along the great lakes is more active than anywhere else in the country. Three-fourths of the new steel shipping of the year ending June 30 for the inland commerce across the lakes. These steel lake vessels are increasing in size even more rapidly than in number. The preceding year 92 steel vessels were constructed, with a total tonnage of 88,000.

Last year, though the number of vessels increased only 11, the tonnage more than doubled, being 92,000. It will pay Americans quite as well to look after the development of domestic commerce on the great lakes as to grasp after that of foreign lands. It is astonishing, the unconscious cheek possessed by some very intelligent people. For instance, it is recorded that Senator White of California remarked to Governor Altgeld, -after seeing and hearing him at the Chicago convention: "I have been pleasantly surprised in you. You have more in you than' I expected.

Altgeld is not what is called in American vernacular a "stnck up man." But it is not on the whole surprising that in answer to this dinary speech he straightened himself up and replied, "I happen to be governor of Illinois, and that ought to be evidence that I am not a dashed fooL The towpaths of all the canals in New York are open to bicycle riders, and neither mule nor anybody else is ticking against the innovation.

OFFICIAL CALL For Democratic County Convention, Saturday, Angnst 1. The Democrats of Cass county are hereby notified to meet in primary convention in the respective wards and townships of the city and county previously Drake stole the church plate on of Lima, when Spain was at peace with England. His robbery disgraced England and himself.

In the remarkable volume of letters and state papers relating to English affairs ediced by Major Sharp Hume, from the archives at Simancas, I have counted 39 instances in which the restitution of Drake's plunder is referred to by Dr. Mendoza in language which might be employed today by the agent general of the Transvaal. There nothing admirable in the episode of the Lima plate; quite tbe reverse. Is it not, therefore, a good thing to distinguish between the good and the bad in Friday, July 24tn, 1896. to choose delegates to the county convention to be held at tbe Broadway rink in the city of Logansport at 10 o'clock a.

on Saturday, August 1st, 1896, tu nominate candidates for the county officers to be voted election this year. for The basis of rep- receutation has cbeen fixed at one for every 16 votes cast for in 1S92, and- under such apportionment the townships and wards are entitled to following representation: Drake as in Mr. Rhodes? If Drake had been broken in 1579 for his theft of the Lima chalices and patens, he would never have had the opportunity of winning half the three days' hatties in the channel in August, 1588. On the other hand, to condone the piratical expeditions of the earlier part of Drake's career because later on he acted nobly Harrison us and as a true Englishman is unueces- sary.

Andrew Lang declares that Cooper "seems to be a good deal neglected now. No- body goes on the trail with ISTatty Bum- po (sic)." It may be that Cooper is neglected in England, but he has not been neglected by all recent British authors, for Robert Louis Stevenson read him and praised him and borrowed from him, and Mr. Rudyard Kipling told an American friend not long ago that he had just been reading Cooper through and through with constantly increasing appreciation. And Cooper is not neglected by the publishers either in France or in America. In Paris not long ago a sumptuously illustrated translation of the most famous of Cooper's stories was issued uniform with a translation of the most famous of Scott's novels.

In the United States "The Last of the Mohicans" has now been put on the list of books which a boy must read before he can get into college. The Putuams have begun to publish a complete set of his novels, illustrated, and to be known as the Mohawk edition. T. Y. Crowell Co.

A Cow Worth More Than a In the United States the administration of the law affecting the civil rights of the citizen, his property rights growing out of controversies between man and man upon contracts, has come to be regarded as of much more importance than the enforcement of the law which protects the life of the citizen. All can notice that.

The criminal law and its administration have rather fallen into disgrace. That is especially true of the large cities of the country. All must PLACES OF MEETING. Adams township, Twelve Mile, 2 m. Bethlehem, Metea, 2p.m.

There seems to be no end of new companies in the old country, especially in England, where each week several are floated. It is noticeable that Simpson chain shares have fallen in price, owing to the number of shares offered for sale. The Simpson people evidently forced the market to some extent through the victories of the chain in the recent contests at the Catford track, which were, however, so close as to leave the question of merit as to the plain and Simpson chains somewhat in doubt. When it will have been shown that the plain chain is quite as fast as the Simpson, agree that it is more important to pro- there is apt to be a reaction of no small tect a man's life than it is his property.
