LIVE ISSUES. “The Ninety and Nine.” There are ninety and nine that live and die, In want and hunger and cold, That one may revel in luxury. And be lapp’d in its silken fold ; The ninety and nine in hovels bare, The one in a palace with riches rare. They toil in the fields, those ninety and nine, For the fruitage of mother earth: They dig and delve, in her dusky mines, Bringingrich treasures forth. And the wealth leleased by their sturdy blows, To tne coffers of one forever flows. The sweat of their brow makes the wilderness bloom* ... . . The forest before them falls. Their industry fashioned our thousand homes. And cities with lordly halls: But the ninety and nine have empty hands— The one owns cities and houses and lands ! Yet the night so dreary and dark and long. The glorious dawn shall bring: When over the land the victor's song— Of the ninety and nine shall ring: And the chorus shall echo from zone to leone, “Kejoice! for labor shall have its own! ” “Them Steers.” The statesmen of New England assume that the restoration of silver as it stood from the foundation of the government until 1873 would l>c absurd and unjust. They assume there is only one side to the finan cial question, and that is the gold side. They are willing to coin sil ver in limited amounts on a gold basis, but to make the silver dollar its own redeemer they hold it a financial vagary, unworthy of can did discussion. This question has been discussed in Congress, and today a majority of the United States Senate agree with the 5,000 men who voted for Bateman at the last Maine election, and are in favor of the free coinage of silver at 10 lo .1. The advocates of the single gold standard don’t like to discuss the question because their arguments are from the stand point of the money lender. On the other hand, the silver Senators are eager for the fray because their arguments are from the standpoint of the producer. I have read the speeches in the Congressional Record of the last session of the Nf;\v England delegation, and J confess that i have.sometimes been almost ashamed that 1 was born a Yankee. V/hen the present delegation from Maine were first elected to Congress they were paid their sal aries in the ‘‘equivalent” of gold, and they are paid now in the “equivalent” of gold, but gold has doubled in purchasing power din ing their terms of service. Their salaries have doubled in value but the assets of their constituents have shrunk one-half. Our New Eng land statesmen tell us that “every dollar” is as good as every othei dollar, but they forget to tell us that every dollar that is borrowed ou time has to be paid in a better dollar than was borrowed. Our New England statesmen have amused themselves and fooled the people as long as they can on the tariff, and have got to face the silver question. There is already heard among the New England hills a hyena how aland the 50-oeut dollar. The silver question is going to be tiie hottest Iron in the lire of Amer ican polities that there has been since the'slavery issue. The free coinage of silver is not the cure all. It metes out a very small measure of justice to the debtor and producer. It is the first step on the ladder of financial free dom. When the people have achieved financial freedom there will be no such thing as redeeming money only as its owner parts with it for something lie desires more. The demonetization of silver in 1873, the credit strengthening acts, the repeal of the Sherman act, the proposition of President Cleveland to issue 8500,000,000 gold bonds, and burn up 500,000,000 green backs and Treasury notes are all parts of the same piece—having one object iu view—the appreciation of money. Appreciating money can not be used iu production without loss to the producer. Appreciating money is valuable for investment iu stocks that are absolutely sure, is valuable for the miser to hoard and enables the non-producing money lender to live in luxury at low cost. The time has come for the Peo ple's party to make the campaign of 18911 ou tiie money question, and make our grievance the curse of appreciating money. Make our platform so plain and simple that it will go in the wind, and so true and just that the man does not live who has learning enough to gainsay it. The money kings of the world are seeking through the forms of law to appreciate money so that the interest on their bonds will be paid in dollars of ever increasing value. Bight here is our point of ifftapk, In this connection the silver ques tion is a burning question. Ere • coinage of liver bears the same re lation to the financial question that no further extension did to the slavery question, and yet some of our friends think the money ques tion is not big enough for the People’s party. The slavery issue gave birth to the Republican party. What was their platform? It was a little small piece of the slavery question. They did not say abolition. They said no further extension of slavery. On that platform they elected Abraham Lincoln, and the logic of events solved the slavery problem. When the Republican party was organized the Southern states were tryingto enlarge the area of slavery, the same as the shylocks of Europe and America are trying to enlarge the area Of the single gold standard having all the time in their mind’s eye the appreciation of money. There was a time in the seventies when the Greenback party had stronger hold in Maine than iu any other state. We elected a Green back Governor and half the dele gation in Congress. We attacked the Republican party because they had crowded too much hog in the dollar, and held tiie discussion to that point. Appreciating money made them steers famous. I paid SIOO for a pair of three-year-old steers. I kept them steers a year and they were worth only SIOO. The money had appreciated as fast as them steers grew. If I had hoarded the SIOO I paid for them steers I could have bought with the SIOO as much as I could buy with them steers after I had kept them a year, but them steers eat two tons of hay. Hoarded money don’t eat any hay. When we put the question lo the plain people of Main, Who got that hay? Shylock took to the woods and them steers got their horns under the shoA ribs of the Repub lican party. The same cut-throat policy of appreciating money is working now —not on so steep a grade, but more dangerous now because not so readily seen as money appreciated as fast as cattle grew. The vampire •of appreciating money comes into the poor man’s home in the midnight hour, robs him of a part of his next day’s wages, and rolls unborn generations by enforcing payment in dear money of a world of debts that were contracted iu cheap money,—Solon Chase, in National Watchman. n®. . Money and Banks. Money is nothing more nor less than a medium of exchange. The farmer has potatoes, wheat, peach es, and trucking products while those in the city have clothing, hardware, furniture, groceries and ■ the like. The farmer wants what ■ the city people have and the city folk must have the products of i the farm. Exchanges are made of . one product for another by the > medium of exchange called money. The use of money therefore is to i make exchange of products easy and equitable. But when all iftouey [ in the land is manipulated by a few individuals who, by permission oi > the government call themselves I bankers, as to diminish or decrease - it at pleasure—that is to say in- crease or diminish ils supply to > give themselves enormous profits— ;■ then the farmer and producer are i also manipulated (o pay tribute to shylock.-—Peninsula Farmer, i This is absolutely all there is , about the “money question” that 3 is strictly honest. All else is an 1 abuse of this simple function of money, and to prevent the crying abuses it is ’subject to in private control, the government should * take entire control of its distribu ■ tion as it does of the mails. If the f management of the mail was iu . private hands, as that of the money . is, the extortion through that means would be frightful. Gov : eminent control of the money as ol l the mail would abolish half the , abuses tb<* people are subject to at I tiie hands of monopoly, r Specimen Cases. S. 11.

THE HOUSEHOLD. t 1 VARIOUS USES OF SALT, f . This Household Benefactor Not ; Thoroughly Appreciated. One pint of fine salt mixed with , two pints of wood ashes and mixed , with water will mend cracks in! > i I stoves. When clinkers accumulate j r | in the grate, throw in a handful of j L i salt, let stand a few minutes and ithey will be easily removed. ! A teaspoonful added to the water C in which cut flowers are placed will preserve them for a considerable j time, and a little rubbed on the , griddles before greasing will pre vent cakes ffom sticking. Damp , salt will remove the discoloration , caused by tea on cups and saucers; L if sprinkled immediately over any , spot where something has boiled over on the stove, there will be no . odor and the spot wall be easily L cleaned. A teaspoonful put in a r kerosene lamp will make the oil give a brighter light, and a small pinch added to the starch will pre- I vent it from sticking to the irons. . If your ingrain carpet looks dingy , sprinkle a little salt over it and let ( it lie for at least five minutes, then sweep it thoroughly, pud you will L be surprised to see how much , brighter it will look. One of the best things for clean , irtg brass is salt dissolved in vinegar. , Cotton fabrics are less likely to fade ( if allowed to lie for a short time in , a strong solution of salt and water. L Sprinkle damp salt around where ( there are moths and they will , speedily take their departure. If a small pinch is added to the whites of eggs they will froth quickly. , Small doses given at short inter vals will stop hemorrhage of the . lungs; for stings or bites of any . kind of insects apply it damp and bind tightly; for neuralgia or severe pains iu the stomach, fill a muslin • l ag, heat it and lay it against the aching place. , If the throat is very sore, wring , a cloth out of cold salt water and bind around the neck, covering with a dry towel; a weak solution . gargled with also help the throat. , A sponge bath in salt water will . arrest night sweals, and if used cold is one of the best solutions for , restoring firmness of the flesh; . bathe the face upward and then , wipe dry. One-lialf a teaspoonfnl - dissolved in a little water will almost instantly relieve dyspepsia, or cure colic in a grown person. Two teaspoonfuls in about a half i pint of tepid water will act as an . emetic, or if snuffed up the nostrils will relieve a cold in the head or > catarrh. , Salt should be eaten with nuts to [ aid digestion. j Cooking Spinach. j- At this season of the year greens f are specially wholesome, and, if ■ cooked with care, forma mcstpalat • able dish. Our housewives who * are tired of familiar methods of ■ cooking spinach greens may be in ■ terested in this English recipe: 1 Pick over and well wash two 1 pounds of spingch, plunge it for s five minutes iu plenty of fast boil- c ‘ mg water, keeping it well under, ' then drain it well, and throw it into ’ cold water till cool, now drain it thoroughly again and mince it up. e Put into a pan one ounce of butter, !> a short ounce of flour, a pinch of salt, and a tiny pinch of sugar; stir 8 this over the fire for a minute or I two, then add the minced spinach, II and stir all over the fire for live 1 minutes; add a giil of milk, or stock, ’ stir over a low tire for two minutes \ longer, then add a short half pint . of milk or stock, and stir it over e the fire till alinust dry, when it !1 must be lifted off at once. Spinach j prepared in this way can be finished . off'iu a variety of fashions, and is f improved by the cooking. A broad e spinach is never considered so good * the first day as the second; so you could have yours got ready the day before, ami wuea wanted heat it up, with a pat of butter, or the J yolk of an-egg beaten up in a spoon ittl or two of milk, or some rich bechamel sauce, or thick cream, etc., . as you p}e§p, j ——* j- It Is a Good Thing.

The Reigning Style of Hair Dressing Demand It. Rare, indeed, is it to see now adays a head without its side combs. Never did so small and seemingly insignificant a fashion produce an effect so far reaching. They range all the way from the bits of pale pink celluloid that the chamber maid tucks behind her ears to the gold and diamonds that sparkle on the head of the dame of high degree. The chief reason for the side comb is that it is well nigh in dispensable in affixing the Louis Seize style of hair dressing, so much in vogue now. It is interesting, by the May, to observe that this coif fure, which greatly enlarges the head, especially at the sides, ist in direct opposition to the laws of Greek beauty, which demand that the summit of the humau frame be small, neat and compact. Germ Theory of Disease. The germ theory of the origin of disease is a subject which is at present attracting the attention of scientific men in all parts of the world. The chief 'importance of the germ theory, however, is not that it shows the origin of disease but that if points out the best means to be employed to effect a I cure. The germs of diseases, from * whatever source they come, are I lodged aud developed in the blood. ! The blood, of course, by circulating to every part of the body, is sure to scatter disease throughout the system whenever it is impure, the weakest and most susceptible parts being the first to suffer. It is be cause of scrofulous taints in the blood, for instance, that the skin becomes covered with eruplions. It is lactic acid in the blood which causes rheumatism, and it is be cause the blood does not supply proper nourishment to the nerves that people suffer with nervousness. The cure for all these diseases, and of many others, can only be effected by purifying the blood, and abso lutely destroying all germs of dis ease. No intelligent person can I doubt that IIood ! s Sarsaparilla has I actually and permanently cured many thousands of cases of scrofula, . rheumatism, nervousness, dyspep i sia and other troubles, and, as its proprietors claim, it is all because , this medicine purifies the blood. As a matter of fact, Hood’s Sarsa : parilla is the only reliable blood ! purifier that is before the public ! to-day. -——-•*-• The Important Matter of Skirts. The expansion of woman in the matter of gown skirts and sleeves and hat trimmings grows apate with the advance of the spring months; but the whisper has spread from Paris workshops that the i- extreme limit has been reached, - and we have nothing more to fear. . The ridiculous and exaggerated fullness of from six to uiue yards round the bottom of the skirt, for anything but diaphanous fabrics, r has only to be tried to be discarded t by every sensible woman. If yon - add to this fullness a stiff’ interliu -1 ing to extend the rippling folds, I and wires to hold them in place, a . woman may well hesitate before 4 she sacrifices her strength and ease * of motion to confinement in such a cage. One of the greatest dis advantages to be urged against the stiffly interlined skirt is the fact that it so quickly loses its freshness and becomes defaced. In fact, such skirts require a dummy to support them; for the poor, weak, human * woman who wears one really needs to sit even more thau her more sensibly clad sister, yet the repose 1 of every half hour leaves its impress ou tire folds; aud after only a few . wea rings the gown is defaced by ugly sharp creases where rounded flutes should be. Women who like the stiff appear ’ auce given by an interlining should choose for their gowns stiff, firm fabrics; these, when properly cut and hung, will stay in place with out interlining, wires, or tacking; aud when the wearer sits down she can draw the fullness from beneath s her, so the gown will never take on ! the ugly defacing creases.—Demo rest’s Magazine for May. 1 Two Valuable Friend,^ 1.
