Extracts From “B'oh’s” Recent Address at
Chicago.

 

“Twenty-three and twenty-two one-
hundredths grains of ‘pure gold make
one dollar. That is the money to-day
of the United States. That is the
money to-day of the civilized world.
Ah, but they say, ‘Cannot' you make
dollars out of silver ?’ I say, ‘Yes, but

.when you make a dollar out of silver
‘ you have got to put a dollar’s worth of
silver in a silver dollar.’ If you make
money out of something else, you have
got to put a dollar’s worth of some-
thing else into the dollar. It takes a
dollar’s worth of paper to make a good
paper dollar. It takes a dollar’s worth
of iron tolmake an iron dollar, and it
takes a dollar’s worth of silver to make
a silver dollar.” .

“And do you know what is the matter
with the country today 2 We want
more business. Talk about charity!
Business is the finest charity ever con-
ceived of. Business that feeds the
hungry, that clothes the naked; busi-
ness that wipes the tears from the
widows’ eyes and orphans’ cheeks; busi-
ness-that puts dimples of Joy in the
cheeks of sorrow; business that puts a
roof above the heads of the homeless;
business that fills the world with art
and song, with commerce, the land
with happy homes.”

“We do not want labor questions
settled by violence and blood. I want
to civilize the capitalist so that he will
be willing to give what labor "is worth.
I want to educate the workingman so
he will be willing to receive what labor
is worth.”

,“And why should we envy the rich?
The Vanderbilts and the Astors and
the Rockefellers never drank any colder
water than I have. They never smoked
better cigars.They never ate lighter bis-
cuits nor better potatoes,nor drank bet-
ter Illinois wine than I have, than you
have. We know the ecstacies of love as
well as they. We know the love of wife
and child and friend, and in some re-
spects we have the advantage. They
fear and we hope. They are at the top,"
and they are afraid of falling. We are
close to the ground and hope to climb.
And, now, is a man to be envied sim-
ply because he has got more than he
can use? What good is that? What is
the use of carrying 100 canes? What is
the use of having more than you can
possibly spend?”

We have no permanent classes. The
children of the rich to-day may work
for the men who worked for them.
Sons of millionaires may be mendi-
cants; sons of mendicants may be mil-
lionaires.”

“Blessedfis, that: country where the
rich are extravagant and the poor eco-
nomical. Miserable that county where
the rich are economical and the poor
are extravagant. A rich spendthrift is
a blessing. A rich miser is a curse.”

Rice’s Comedians.

This company has evidently hit the
popular fancy here, for so far this week
it has drawn a succession of large
houses. Last night the farce-comedy,
“All in the Family,” was produced, and
a better production of farcecomedy
has rarely been seen here. The . large
audiencepresent alternately laughed,
roared and applauded the witty dialogue
and laughable situations. The comedy
is on the order of “Charley’s Aunt”
and “All the Comforts of Home.”
Rice’s company is undeniably clever
and seem as much at home in comedy
as in melodrama. To-night “Under the
Lion’s Paw” will be given, and another
large house is assured.—Asbury Park
Herald. ’

This company appears at the Nor-
walk Opera House all next week.

George Mosher’s Threat.

The New York Sun this morning,
prints the following in reference to
George Mosher, a printer, formerly of
this city :

A man named George Mosber, who
said he represented some printers,
called on 001. Swords yesterday and
offered to bet $1,000 on Bryan at odds

' of 1 to 5. When Col. Swords said that
he was not ready to modify the odds of
2 to 1 which he originally offered, Mr.

’ Moshcr made a proposition to bet his

$1,000 against $3,000. Col. Swords said:

“If you think Bryan’s chances asbad
as that why do you bet at all? It you
really think he will win why are you

not willing to‘accept 2 to 1?”

Mr. Mosher departed saying that he
would expose Col. Swords as a blufi'cr.‘

The little daughter of Mr. Fred Webber
Holland, Mass, had a very bad cold and
cough which he had not been able to cure
with anything. I gave him a 25 cent bottle
of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says W. P.
Holden merchant and postmaster at West
Brimficld, and the next time I. saw him he
said it worked like a charm. This remedy
isintended especially for acute throat and
lung diseases such as colds, croup and
whooping cough, and it is famous for its
cures. There is no danger in giving it to
children for'it contains nothing injurious.

An Eldér's ’néad.

At one time- the Presbyterians of
Ulster were discussing the ignorance
and stupidity of one of their num-v
ber, whose blunders were constantly
getting other people, as well as him~
self, into trouble.

“And what a notion he has in his
head now!” exclaimed one of the
elders, in dismay. ’

“His head!” echoed one of the minis-
ters. “He has no head! What you
call a head is only a topk‘not that his
Maker put there to keep him from
ravelling out!”

 

How Cloth' is Made Waterproof.

The process now in use among the
Yorkshire cloth-makers for water-
proofing cloth is one that may be un-
dertaken by private persons in their
own homes and is as follows: Dis-
solve one ounce of isinglass in one
pound of water and a quarter of an
ounce of soap in one pound of water,
all separately. Strain the solutions,
mix them and let them simmer for
some time. Brush the preparation
while hot over the cloth, and when
dry brush it well and lay on anothér

, coat, all on the wrong side. The cloth

will be fit for use in two or three days.
