SATtntDAY, - - - AUGUST 7, 1897.
A SOLID FRONT.
H. M. -Dougherty of Mount Ver
non, O., chairman of the Ohio Re
publican state central committee, is
in Washington for a few days.
"We've got a fight on our hands
in Ohio this. year," said he to a New
York Tribune correspondent, "but I
have jo fear as to the result. The
Republicans will elect their state
ticket and a majority of the legisla
ture, and Senator Haima will be
chosen to succeed himself. There is
no -dissension in the Republican
ranks, and the party will present a
solid front against tfae opposition.
At the same time the campaign will
be about as hot and, exciting as any
in recent times. Both sides will have
'the best speaking talent, feoth local
and imported, and every county will
be canvassed thoroughly. The
Democrats profess to be sanguine of
victory, but I do not imagine that
many of ihem really expect to win."
Mr. Dougherty is in Washington
to consult with Senator Manna and
other Buckeye leaders regarding the
composition of 'the executive com
mittee, which has not. yet been
chosen.
Mr. Wannamsker says: "What a
wonderful thing it will be if Provi
dence opens up to us in Alaska $250,
000,000 of gold, and thus settles the
money question." Mr. Wannama
ker's mind has gone to sleep. Sup
pose five times the amount dated'
should be yielded by Alaska, what
proportion of it would we keep?
While the Clondyke has furnished
the world 2,000,K)0, this country
has exported fourteen times that
much. The gold produced does not
stay with us, but is divided with the
people of the world. The sum
stated divided among the people of
Europe wonld give each, about sev
enty cents, or among the people of
North America 2.50 each. With a
per capita circulation of $25 it will
take $25,000,000 a year to provide
for the increase of population in the
United States.
There are about a dozen steamers
advertised to leave Seattle for Alaska
before September, and there will be
from San Francisco, .'Portland and
other points probably five or six
more, or say twenty in all. These
will average 250 each,-or 5000 men,
who will be dumped on to the cheer
less shores of Alaska, with only a
few weeks at most intervening before
winter sets in, Those who went the
first of August took chance enough,
but those who go the firet of Septem
ber are taking none; frbey are ruri
Jiing up against a dead certainty. It
as quite probable that the steamers
now rushing as fast as steam can
drive them for Alaska, will continue
to do a profitable business this win
ter, bringing home those wtio failed
to get through.
Thursday silver took a decided
tumble, falling one and one quarter
cents on the ounce in the New Yoik
market, and selling at 55f cents. At
this price the value of the bullion in
a silver dollar is 43 cents. There
are many explanations given of this
sudden fall, but there seems to .be
only one that is reasonable, and that
is that the world's markets are over
stocked' with it. The demonetiza
tion of silver by the leading nations
of the world has, no doubt, caused
its depreciation, but the woild does
not want it, the slump will continue
until it ceases to be a precious metal.
If it is not used as money, there is
no other use it can be put to that will
keep the metal from being a drug on
the market. 1
Joaquin Miller, writing from on
board-the steamer Mexico at Victo
ria, B. C, tells all about the trip to
the Clondyke, says that the dangers
are greatly exaggerated, and that
there are no hardships to speak of.
That there is no danger of food run
ning short, and advises everybody to
"come on." Joaquin having started
from San Francisco, imagines he has
made a part of the trip, and having
traveled 1000 miles, thinks he is ap
proaching the mines. He will find
things different when he tackles that
portion of the road between Dyea
and iake Bennett, for the trip does
not begin until one gets ashore with
a ton of plunder.
The New York Sun prints some
figures to show the magnitude of the
pension payments. It prints tables
showing the receipts from customs
and from internal revenue for the
past five years, also the amounts paid
for pensions. It h?s taken, in round
numbers, all the money, collected
from either of these two sources to
meet the pension payments, which
amount to about 140,U0U,UUU a
year. These figures are worth study
ing in connection with the proposi
tion now made to farther increase
pension expenditures by about $40,-
000,000 a year.

OUR FIRST POSTAGE STAMPS.
"Joan BtUingTH' " Father Was the First
PorphiiKer, Just Fifty Years Ago.
"Fifty years ago in July, , 1847
Uncle Sam issued his first postage
stamps," writes Fannie Mack Lothrop
in Ladies Home Journal. "In Eng
land, seven years before, Rowland
.Hill, 'father of the penny post,' intro
duced the 'sticking' plasters,' as the
stamps were contemptuously called.
John M. Niles, our poBtmaster-g-eneral
at that time, tried heroically, but .in
vain, to .move congress to authorize
stamps for this country. His successor,
Cave Johnson, was more fortunate, and.
the bill desired was approved on March
3, 1847, the stamps not being issued,
however, till August, though the time
appointed was July 1. Only two values
of the new stamps were introduced in
1847 a five and ten-cen.t stamp, bear
ing1, respectively, the portrait of Frank
lin in 2l Ibronze tint and Washington in
black.
"The first purchaser of stamps in the
United States was Henry Shaw, the
father -of Henry Wheeler Shaw (better
known as "Josh Billings,' the humor
ist). Sir. Shaw was in the postmaster
generaJ's office on August 6, 1847, when
Mr. Johnson entered with the printer
from vvhom he had just received sheets
of the new stamps. Mr. Johnson passed
a eheet to Mr. Shaw for inspection.
After giving the stamps a hasty glance
Mr.. Shaw, perhaps with an eye to fu
ture fame, took out his wallet, counted
out 15 cents and purchased one of each
variety. JThe 'five he kept as a curi
osity, the '.ten' he presented to Oov.
Briggs as an appropriate gift."
Th True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa. 111.,
"Cheif," says: "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in oar home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds. Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just- as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to Batisfy.
