Free Silver and the Farmer.
That the farmers, In many parts of
our country have been suffering can
hardly admit of doubt, says Profes-
sor H. W. Farnham in the Yale Review
for August. They have suffered from
the competition of India Argentina, and
Russia; from drought and other cli-
matic vicissitudes, and last of all the
trolley car and the bicycle have come
in to lower'the prices of their horses-
But how would an inflation of the cur-
rency, such as would be produced by
the free coinage of silver, help them ?
The manner in which it is supposed to
work can best be illustrated by a hy—
pothetical case. Let us take the aver-
age indebted farmer who has a mort-
gage of $1,000 on which he pays seven
percent interest. Suppose the value
of his crop to be $2,500. If he has
trouble in paying his interest, as he
claims, his operating and living expen-.
es, includinggthe seventy dollars inter-
est, must be nearly equal to his income.
Let us assume that hisexpenses are
$1,400. New on the theory of the influ-
tionists, if the currency were doubled
under the free coinage of silver, his
price would be doubled, bringing him
£13,000 instead of $1,500. But what as—
surance has he that his expenses will

modities are concerned, they are likely
to rise quite as fast as, if not faster
than, his income. If so, his margin

which he might hope to increase this

would make but a small gain, and that
temporarily. For, on account of the
short time while mortgages usually
run, the farmer would not reap the full
benefit of cheap money, unless he could

short time, because if he wanted to re-
new he would be charged a higher rate
~of interest, proportional to the expect-
ed depreciation Of money.

A Sensible View.
There is no reason why the Connect-
icut National Guard should not be ac-
corded the same freedom with refer-
ence to cooling and refreshing bever-
ages as any other class of citizens, says
the Norwich Bulletin. If the com.
missioned officers and men will take
spirituous liquor‘as a beverage, they
should see that they do not make an
intemperate use of them, and disgrace
themselves and the State by their in-
discretion. This the people have a
right to demand.
The antiquated notion that rum and
gunpowder mingled in proper propor-
tions make soldiers bolder and better
in battle is still cherished with faith by
enlisted men whose taste for grog is
very much superior to their tastes for
military tactics; but the well-bred,
good-habited, intellegent soldier is
aware that spirituous liquors not only
brutalize men, but weaken them both
physically and mentally, and makes
them so unreliable for acts of bravery
and skill, that its use is forbidden to all
athletes who are to perform great feats
of strength and to pugiiists who rely
upon bravery and endurance to carry
off championships. 4
If the use of l‘quor is indulged in at
Camp Coffin this year so excessively
that itimpairs the service, continues
the Bulletin, we hope every decent
paper in the State will condemn the
the commanders who make such a con-
dition of things possible; but if the
and the benefit of
officers sob 3r,
camp life to the National Guard in no
way interfered with by the bibulous
habits of the guardsmen, it" is none g
the‘ public’s business whether they are

Richard Hendrick went out in his

Mistaken for a Boat Thief.
A pretty good story is told at the ex-
pense of Robert Adams, which is relat-
ed something after this fashion: Last
Sunday, Mr. Adams hired a sail boat to
go to ' Oyster Bay, L. I., where his
brother is engaged in selling a patent
smoothing iron. Not caring to go
alone, he prevailed on two young Ital-
ians to accompany him. He arrived
at his destination without mishap, and"
found his brother. At the time he in?
tended to start for home the sky indi-
cated a storm and he decided to re-
main at Oyster Bay all night. He
placed the lads on board the boat, and
went back and remained with his bro-
ther all night, also breakfasted with
him. .
He then went to the boat but found
the two lads misssing, and a long con-
tinned search failed to reveal their
whereabouts, and he then started. for
borne alone. He had not proceeded
far, however, when a steam launch
came up and one of the men on board
hailed him and asked him where he
was from and on being told that he be-
longed in Norwalk offered to row his
craft home. Adams thanked'them and
said he guessed as he was in no spe-
cial hurry he would sail over.
The man then insisted on towing the
craft back and finally blurted out “You
are just the man I have been looking
for. You stole that boat audit is not
the first boat you have stolen and sold
either.”
EXplanations followed and all in-
dulged in a hearty-laugh over the mis-
taken identity. Bob’s friends are on to
the story of his adventure and are hav-
ing considerable fun over it.
The two‘ lads, it seems, became
frightened at the storm 'which prevail-
ed during the night and went ashore.
They succeeded in making their way to
New York and thence to N orwalk, none
the Worse for their outing. , 1

THE DAY OF SMALL BEGINNINGS.
.A Business Man’s Address to Néw York
Editors.
Mr. George H. Daniels, general pas-
senger agent of the New York Central
Railroad, delivered an address: to the
11113.] outing at Lake- George. Among
other things he said:
“With a view to lending variety to
uotonous effort, I have selected :as the
basis of some very brief, but, I trust,
pertinent, remarks, a. subject from the
writings of Zachariah: ‘Despise not the
day of small things.
“In the Winter of ’40 or the spring of
’50, a young boy, fresh from a farm, and
beaming with the ingenuous. enthusi-
asm so characteristic of the country, en-
tered the office of the publisher , of Le
Roy Standard and asked if they wanted
a. boy A few minutes’ conversation
satisfied the publisher, who was a. judge
of human nature, that this particular
boy would, if he lived, grow to be a.
man, and possibly-a man of considera-
ble ability, for during his brief conver-
sation the boy had stated that he, in-
'tended'to become a. great journalist, the
owner of a daily paper, with a large cir-
culation, in which he wouldbe able to
.- .- compliment his friends and roast his
enemies in a. style that would attract
general attention In the neighborhood In
which the paper was published. ~
“After some preliminaries in regard
sides, the boy was engaged to fold the
papers at one cent a. quire, the standing
order ' for paper 'in the office at that
time being twenty-four quires a week.»
With an ehterprise which was indica-
tive of future greatness, this youth,who
‘despised not the day of small things,’
undertook in a. very short time after his
appointment to increase the circulation
of the paper, and within six months, by
diligent efforts at odd hours when he
could get away from his arduous duties,
he had secured twenty-four additional
subscribers, and,‘ beginning with the
seventh month, he received the princely
salary of twenty-five cents a week.
“You will observe that the maximum
times was twentylfive quires, making a
total circulation of ' 600 E"‘althoul'rh the
publisher placed at the head of his edi-
circulation in eleven counties, and

“On a fine morning in the month of

turning over the leaves of a. patent med-
icine almanac, which contained pictures
of an alleged humorous charaCter, in-
terspersed with jokes, more or less an:

often annoyed his parents by asking the
explanation of these jokes, and became
the admiration of all the country round
