General Assembly would be doing a
very graceful act should they bestow
this great honor upon Hon. John E.
Brazeale, of Anderson. Mr. Brazeale
is a sound lawyer, an'd a man of the
highest integrity, and one whlose ex
perienee at the bar fris him for the
judiciary. Besides, lie has made a
record in the General Assembly that
places him among the foremost of
law-makers. Mr. Brezeale was a
candidate when .Judge Earle was

took his defeat like a patriot and
went on with his wvork as cheerful as

be pleased to see Mr. Brazeale on' the

the General Assembly will tender the
position to him.
SILVER IN ITS RELATION TO
GOLD AND SILVER IN RE
LATION TO COMMOD
ITIES.
BY A. J. wARNER.
I see from the letter of my friend,
Mr. Peet, in the Record of Sept. 4th,
that in a reply to a previous commu
nication from him to the Record, I
- failed to make myself clearly under
stood. In that reply I said; in silver
using countries, prices had not ma
terially changdd; that in those coun
tries silver had not gone down rela
tively to commodities, nor had com
modities risen relatively to silver;
that to them gold had risen. Of
course, if prices in their money have
not gone up, silver, which is their
money, has not fallen. It does not,
however, follow from this that silver
and gold bullion have not relatively
changed in value. They may both
also have varied in value in some
-countries as compared, with commod
ities; bat silver has ira fact varied
but slightly, if at all, gold greatly.
Even in gold standard countries, sil
ver has fallen little if any below com
modities generally. Tables of prices
show that an ounce of silver bullion
will exchange for about as much, and
in some cases for more, of products
generally, than it would twenty years
ago. The i'xe or fall of gold or of
silver relatively to each other, there
fore, is one thing, and the rise and
fall of general prices: that is, the re
lation of either or both metals to
commodities generally is quite an
other thing.
The value of the metals varies di
rectly as the supply of and demand
fox thenm vary; while general prices
vary only as the volume of money in
a country varies; or, more accurately,
perhaps, as the relation of money
volume to population and wealth va
ies. In the one case demand acts
directly upon the metals from which
iew money is derived; in the other
.t is upon the whole volume ot mon
av. A change in the cost of gold or
dilver bullion, therefore, affects prices
onlv as this change affects the money
volume of a country. For illustra
ion, the price of commodities did
not go up and down on Black Fridiay
"is gold rose and fell. Wheu He
Shermlan Silver Law was passed (w.ilh
the exception of a few things which
were more directly affected) prices
did not suddenly go up in this coun
try and down in Iudia. Why? Be
cause the volume of money was not
at once changed. Again, whin the
mints of Iudia were closed in 1893,
silver fell in the London market from
:s 3-4 pence to '30 1-4 pence, or
27 1-2 per cent, in 5 days; but that
did not affect perceptibly general
prices anywhere. Indeed, it may be
stated as a general law, that the cost
of obtaining new money, affects gen
eral prices in any country only as it
affects the volume of money in that
country. When the placer mines of
California were discovered, new gold
was obtained very cheaply; but that
affected the value of the total stock
of gold or of prices generally, only as
it increased the iotal supply of mon
ev. So now, the low price (cost) of
silver bullion to the silver-using
countries, affects the value of their
stock of silver money oI as it tends
to increase their volume of money.
The cheaper silver bullion is the less
it takes of their commodities to get
additional money; but it is only as
this conditions affects that their total
supply that general prices in such
countries are affected. Or, generally
stated: The cost of obtaining new
money chauges the value of existing
money, only as it operates to increase
or decrea-e the volume.
The elevation from which water
pours into a reservoir does not de
termine the ratpidity of the rise of tlie
surface of the water in the reservoir.
That depeuds ou the size of the res
ervoir and the volume of the water
poured into it; and if there is mut-h
new space to be filled, the riie will
be correspoudingly slow. So, if netW
enterprises take up much of the in
crease of money, the rise of prices
may be slow, even though the money
vollume may be- increasing.
As a corollary to these principles,
if silver is restored to free coinage
in the United States, and the old re
lation $1.29 an ounce in gold restored,
the value of silver money as ex
pressed in commodities, in silver
using countries, will not be thereby
affected, except as it may tend to
restrict their supply of new woney.
The exchanges will be immediately
affected; they will have to give more
in commodities to get silver from
other countries, but internal prices
will only be affected as their total
money volume is thereby affteted.
.If the remonetization of silver in
the United States, by virtually mak
ing Mexican silver dollars again legal
tender through our mints (as they
were down to 1857) results in sucb
exportation of silver dollars from
Mexico as to materially reduce the
will it affect general prices here.
The notion, therefore so persistenk
ly maintained by the New York emn
and other gold papers, th under
free coinage, prices in zus country
will rise and fall withi e rise of sil
ver bullion indtie'London market, is
iot only miitrary to the most funda
Tnental law of money, but is absurd
on its face.

The Gold-standardites of this State
are endeavoring to put out an elect
oral ticket, but so far they have not
succeeded. Mr. W. W. Ball, of the
Charleston Post and Mr. W. R. Davie,
of Chester, seem to have charge of
the Palmer-Buckner campaign in
this State.
The Darington. Wi-., Journal says edi
toially of a popular patent medicine. "We

MAN OIL, ANT SPIRITS AND OTHER
CURIOUS THINGS USED.
rhose Who Use Thcm Firmly Believe In
Their Virtues-Drug Clerks Supply the
Deleman by Giving Usr:nless Substitutes
and Charging Fancy Prices.
"Aye want dees filled wit' man oil."
With this the speaker, a rawboned,
stolid looking Swede, handed a dirty,
two ounce vial across the counter of a
Division street drug store to the clerk.
Without saying a word or moving a
muscle to indicate astonishment at this
singular reqtest the clerk took the vial
and disappeared behind the prescription
case. In a moment lie reappeared, and,
handing the vial back, remarked in an
indifferent tone:
"Ninety cents."
Being asked to tell something about
the traffic in the fat of human beings
the clerk grinned.
"I gave the fellow two ounces of sim
ple cerate and charged a fancy price to
impress him with the genuineness of the
'man fat,' " said be. "I see no harm in
tha deception. The fellow has unbound
ed faith in the virtues of man oil, and he
wouldn't be happy until be believed he
had some. If I didn't sell him some, he
would find a druggist who would. The
simple cerate will do him just as much
good as man oil. We often have calls for
temedies as absurd as this. We always
fill them-out of the simple cerate bot
tle if it be an oil, or some other harm
less drug if it be something else."
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the various portions of the city have their
pe'culiarities in beliefs as to the efficacy
of various unusual remedies. In the
Swedish settlements man oil is believed
tQ have marvelous virtues in aches and
p ins when applied externally. Over in
the stockyards region and in the south
west portion of the city dog's grease is
held in high repute as a specific for con
ui'ption. The men in charge at the dog
pound declare a great many of the dogs
that come to an untimely end in the
death chamber there are converted into
a superior article of cod liver oil for the
use of consumptives. They declare that
a number of "doctors" regularly visit
the pound and select nice, fat dogs,
which are slaughtered by the attendants,
to be rendered into oil for the alleged
physicians' patients. Not only this. but
the patients themselves often send rela
tives or friends to the pound to get dogs
for this purpose. Usually the attendants
kill and dress the dogs, receiving a
small fee for their trouble. Sometimes
the dogs are taken away to be killed.
One dealer said be usually got from half
a gallon to a gallon of oil from a dog;
that the grease resembled lard oil in ap
pearance; that the oil had no disagree
able odor if the dog was young; that
the dose was a tablespoonful three times
a day. An interesting feature brought
out was that after a person had once used
dog's grease other remedies would have
no effect whatever on him.
Out on Milwaukee avenue rainworm
oil and ant spirits are held in high re
pute. The druggists have frequent calls
for these remedies and they always fill
the prescriptions, the former out of the
olive oil bottle and the latter with alcohol
slightly colored. The Germans believe
both remedies are valuable for external
use for all sorts of aches and pains, in
Iparts or alcohol. Tihe ingredients are to
be rubbed in a mortar and left to stand
for two days. The resulting colorless
liqid is then ready for use for rheuma
tsm, par'a-1 is and the like.
Snake oil egularly quoted in some
drug price lists. W rl~ W huh
at Cairo, Ills., is engaged in its mnanu
facture. John Jones of Phenix, A. T.,
devotes his entire time to the manufac
ture of rattlesnake oil, for which he
gets $4 a pound, the purchaser to pay
express charges. Snake oil is reputed to
be valuable for rheumatism. He comes
to the city occasionally to work up
trade.
Skunk oil is in considerable demand,
also for rheumatism. The skunk oil is
obtained from the sk-unk farms, where
the animals are bred for their skins.
Belief in these remedies is often found
among American born people.
In all parts of the city there is a
good trade in "love powders," the pur
chasers usually being of the servant girl
class.
"When a girl comes in after 'love
powders,' " said a drug clerk on North
State street who often has occasion to
fill such orders, "I give her a little sug
ar of milk, which is absolutely innocu
ous, if she wants it for herself, and tell
her to take two doses a day. If she
wants it for her 'fellow,' she usually
asks for the magic drug in the shape of
candy. In that case I give her some
worm lozenges. The drugs must give
satisfaction, for the orders are fre
quently refilled. "-Chicago Tribune.

VENICE A DELUSION.
Lu Eaglishwa Finds ts Canals and DiD
tances Not at All Entrancing.
An Englishman who has seen Venice
)ut to be disillusionized writes of his
mpressions to The Westminster Budget
is follows: "Here is a description of
what these canals are, taken from my
liary, and it is literally truthfuJ, which
the poets and the painters never are.
On either side staggers a crowd of de
ayed buildings; from the roof down
ward they are a mass of squalid ruin;
broken balconies cling to the stained
and discolored walls, great scabs of
plaster have fallen from their fronts as
if a leprosy had eaten into them; for a
foot above the water the walls are black
with slime, the broken windows are
stuffed with rags or paper, the shattered
steps lead up to doors that swing by one
hinge; the steps themselves are slippery
with a greasy scum; to the edge of the
lower stair there is a fringe of foul
green weed-it swings slowly in the
crawling water; the iron grilles, once
so beautiful, are eaten by bitter salt rust,
the shutters hang at all angles, flapping
and creaking in the wind; in the crazy
balconies there is a lumber of broken
flowerpots vith dead flowers in them,
and throuah all these reeking alleys the
greenish gray water slowly pulses and
oozes, covered with straw, eggshells,
cabbage stalks and nameless refuse. Over
all this brood a hundred filthy and ob
scene smells, each canal contributing a
particularly putrid stench of its own.
No longer does Venice sit in state; hour
by hour and stone by stone she is sink
ing into her dishonored grave.
"Night in Venice and music on the
canal-that surely would have its old
charm. I had pictured the soft air,
pulsing with sweet voices, and over all
a sky "thick inlaid with patines of
bright gold." Well, every night about
8 the singing certainly began, guitars
tinkled, and now and then one heard a
fairly good tenor voice, but as a rule the
men's voices were harsh and worn, and
the women's indescribably shrill, and
the songs they sang were Verdi and
Bellini at their worst-'Ah, Che ]a
Morte,' and its companion absurdities.
And when once they began they kept on;
no sooner had one boatload of singers
exhausted its repertory than another
took up its place and repeated the same
songs with the same quaverings and
tinklings."
Why He Gave the Good Cigar Away.
"Will you have a cigar?" asked one
man cf another, carefully selecting one
of three which he drew from his waist
I coat pocket. He handed this one to his
friend. The other man smiled and said:
"I suppose this is the kind you buy to
give away."
"You might think so, but it isn't,"
rejoined the one who had given the ci
gar. "As a matter of fact, the one I
gave you is much the best of the lot. I
always give away the cigars of that
brand which I receive. It's not because
they are bad, but because they are good.
This is how it is: For several years I
have been buying my cigars of a dealer
in Nassau street. I always get a kind
which costs $10 a hundred. I am not
overfond of the brand, but it is the best
that I can get for the money, and I feel
that I cannot afford to pay more for my
cigars.
"For some time the dealer has beei
very anxious to get me to smoke a cigar
that costs $16 a hundred. He assures me
that the difference betwveen it: and the
one or tne io cent KIma to smo.ti, assur
ing ne that if I will only try it I will
buy no other. The truth is, I fear he is
right, so I have resolutely resisted the
temptation to smoke the gift cigars. In
stead, I hand them to some friend. That
is one of them. Do yen believe now that
I gave you the worst?"
The frieisa.np. further reason for
doubting that the cigar which hie had re
ceived was the best of the'Tt-New
York Tribune.
The March of the Bicycle.
The bicycle has come, and, although
the predominance of the horse in sport
is not destroyed, it is no longer undis
puted. Not like that other, that with
such sulphurous manifestations tumbled
the knight from his steed, this modern
machine, in quiet and orderly manner
as becomes the present, is tumbling his
modern counterpart from hunter and
from hack. Gradually it has been grow
ing in favor, and now it is bearing all
before it. There is no dignity too great
to be borne by the nimble wheel, and
coquetry has been sacrificed for its sake.
Every one rides, and it is singular that
the most bigoted horseman often falls
the most abject victim and is found
practicing upon the sinoothly running
innvation-sometimes, it is true, on
the sly. A writer says in speaking of
the "retreat" of the power holding
classes: "The effect produced on certain
individuals is such that, instead of sid
ing with the class to which by tradition
and individual interest they undoubted
ly belong, they take their place in the
ranks of the oonents. "-Scribner'e.
iM~ee from Znnm.
"Don't you ever get tired of doing
nothing?" asked one.
"Oh, yes," replied the other lan
guidly.
"Well, what do you do then?"
"Take a rest. "-Philadelphia Call.
