OBITUARY: Mrs. Stewart, of London Road Ave , relict of• the late Duncan Stewart, passed peacefully away on Sunday morning last, Sept. eth. Her disease was ?Ancor of the stomach and bowels and she was confined to her bed for about a month. She bore her sick- ness which at times was very severe, with true, Christian fortitude •and patience. Her last words were words of trust in God and of hope in a blessed immortality. Mrs, Stewart, was the fifth daughter of Alexander Stewart, a native of Perthshire Scotland, who with his wife and family immigrated into Canada in the year 1882, and settled itt South East Hope, near Shak- speare, Ont. The passage was an eventful ono as the colera, was raging on the vessel. Two children died 'on the vessel and one when Montreal was reached. About the year 1858 the de- ceased, Sophia Stewart, was married to Duncan Stewart, also a native of Perth- shire, Scotland, and together they settled on •a farm on the 12th con., Hibbert, the whole district being then heavily wood- ed with nothing but a blaze on the trees for a highway, By hard labor and pere,evering effort they succeeded in converting what was then a wilder- ness into one of the best farms in the Township, In the fall of 1890 they were obliged to retire from farming as ho Mishap. d Duncan Stewart, had been or a num ber of years disabled with paley. He with the deceased moved to .Hensall where they resided with their soa Daniel Stewart, till their death the deceased surviving her husband a little over four years. The family con- sisting of six children, has been sadly reduced by death, the survivors being Daniel aud Peter Stewart of this village and Mrs. Wren (nee Jessie A. Stewart,) of North Dakota. The deceased leaves an only sister, Mrs. McNaughton, of Hibbert, (relict of Peter McNaughton a few years 'since •deceased) and who faithfully and lovingly attended her sister dureng the severe illness, She also leaves two brothers• John and Alexander Stewart, the former of North East Hope and the latter now farming near Birtle, Manitoba. The deceased was in religion a Presbyterian and lived a quiet, peaceable, unassuming life little known in society, but beloved in the family •circle and among immed- iate friends and acquaintances. The funeral took place to Rogerville ceme- tery on Tuesday, Sept. 8th, when a large concourse of people followed the re- mains to their last resting place as a east tribute of respect; to the memory, of a faithful friend and loving mother. —We are having nice weather now.— Labor Day was celebrated here in fine style. There was a bicycle meet and base ball with music by the Clinton band in the day time and a concert in Coxworth's Hall ia the evening. A number of our citizens witnessed a fight a few mornings ago.

Noticing only the first part of the motto, he rubbed it out with a sarcastic reference to the poor work of the artist and then proceeded to give the class a homily upon honesty, saying that bonestyawas not worth much if there was not some- thing else behind it but policy. The incident impressed, two thought's upon our mind, Mr. Editor. The first is that we should think twice before we speak once—whether speaking critically or in a homiletical strain. The second is that truth, in concise and concentrated form is often more impressive than any comments upon it however bright or well intentional. Quito a number of our citizens will take advantage of the cheap excursions to visit London this week, and see the sights at the Fair.—The grim monster death, has again invaded our midst and remoyed from among us one of the oldest sett- lers in the person of Mr. Alexander McLaren, of the 2nd concession of Hay, who died on Sunday last at the age of 74 years. Deceased had been suffering from an abcess on the right lung for some time, but nothing serious was anticipated until about six weeks ago wheu he was taken worse and gradual- ly sank until death relieved him of his sufferings. Deceased was a man of good principals and was much eespect. ed by all who know him, His repaains were interred in the Brucefield ceme- tery on Tuesday.

A great many regret his absence from the fact that he forgot to leave behind him their watches or other valuables that were entrusted to him for repairs. He came hither from Guelph some months ago and as he proved himself to be a good workman a great many entrusted him with their work. It is believed that he has twelve or fourteen watches belonging to customers in his possession. He got a consignment of silverware from W. J. Reid & Co., of London, which he sold off last week at 'whatever he could get for it saying, in explanation, that he could not get the proper price for it, and that he was or- dered by the firm to sell it out for what he could get, and retain ten per cent. of the proceeds for his trouble. He left a letter asking people not to believe him dishonest and that he would return before long and square everything up; also a letter written by him to a girl in Toronto complaining of despondency and saying that she might not hear from him again; also a card frora this same girl to Mm, asking him to wait for her, and other matters only under- stood by •themselves. The girl's ad- dress is 109 Trinity street." W. J. Reid & Co., were seen as to the above, and stated that Campbell owed them a• very slight sum for goods fur- nished, and that the story that he was selling , on commission was untrue. They received word that he had left the place, but they wore unconcerned, as the amount involved was not worth bothering about. Wingham: Charlie Ross met with a peinful accident at C.P. R. station on Vednesday. In running across the track he tripped and fell across a rail injuring his side. Fortanately no bones were broken. ene.Sateg, American Finances By our own Correspondent. The campaign is now in full blast, and our schools of education on financ- es axe open. It is becoming now a matter of fact that the masses of the intelligent voters of the United States are Milting deep and serious thoughts anent the financial question which is the present agitation throughout the land. 16 oz. of silver to 1 of gold is the topic. Bryan and his anarchist friend, John Pardon Altgeld, of Illinois, are trying to instill into the minds of the American electors that 16 to 1 should be the standard. The present value of silver is 32 oz. to 1 oz of gold. Throughout the whole world this is the genuine standard. The American sil- ver dollar to -day is worth as bullion 58 cents, but is accepted as 100 cents, be- cause it is minted by the government and is redeemed. by the same for that amoutt, either in treasury notes or gold, Bryan says, give us unlimited coinage of silver and we hall have a prosperous eountry, Let us analize this sentence. In the first place, all persons having silver bullion could send the same to the mints and have it coined free of charge, less a small frac- tion for alloy, but the government would not keep in its treasury gold to redeem all those ,dollars coined, be- cause it would be impossible, thus the dollar coined under the Bryan et al party would onty be worth 58 cents, or same as bullion, because it would not be redeemable by the government, thus the dollar coined by them would be in repudiation. Bryan says that foreign countries would accept those cleilers. We ask, would they? Mexico is a free silver nation, To -day a Mexican dol- lar can be purchased for 50 cents. To peeve this assertion, Armour & Co, the Chicago packers, sent $1000 to Mexico and received from there 2000 Mexican dollars. They (Armour & Co) will up- on presentation of the American silver dollar give you 50 cents worth of meat and give you a Mexican silver dollar as change. Mr. Editor, does this not go to show what fres silver means, The American silver dollar under Bry- anisna would receive the same fate. Bryan and anarchist Altgeld have as- serted repeatedly that "without the aid of the money owning class the gold standard would not stand a day in any nation under the sun." Then the ene- mies of the gold standard are those who do not own any money and have no desire to earn any, Most prominent amotas, them are the shiftlessahe drunk- ards, the incurable lazy, the bankrupts, and the debtors who would rather re- pudiate au obligation than work to pay it. These enemies of the gold standard whom Bryan Altgeld et al are rallying under his standard are the enemies al- so of good government and law and order. Bryan et al will have their votes, but their ballots will be few in number and their influence far less, when compared with those of "the mon- ey -owning class , " the Popocrat demago- gue sneers at. For that class does not consist solely of a few millionaires or a handful of bankers. "The money -own- ing class" takes in every one who owns money, whether he has much or either. Whoever has only one dollar is a mon- ey owner, and it is to his or her inter. est the soundness of the dollar should be maintained. There are in the United States $4,875,000 depositions in saving banks—men, women aud child- ren. Each of these belongs to "the money owning • class." They own among them' nearly two billions of good money. It was good when they deposited, and they most certainly wish it to remain good. They do not want 50 cent dollars wheu they deposited 100 cent dollars. There are three and a third million business -men and well-to- do farmers who have deposited in Na- tional, state and private banks and loan and trust companies which amount to more than three billions. The stock holders of all these institutions fully number three quarters of a million. They own, according to latest statistics a billion and a half paid up stock, All those people belong to "the money - owning class." The stockholders in building and loan associations number fully 750,000 and their loans amount to, according to latest reports, more than 750 millions of dollars. Every one of those stockholders belong to "the money -owning class" on whose sup- port the maintainence of the gold stand- ard depends. There are three and a half million people who hays put money into Insurance companies, mutual ben- efit, co operative and fraternal associa- tions, and have thus become members of "the money -owning class." There must be over a million men and wo- men, not included in the aboye, who have loaned their money on mortgages on city, or country property to the amount of several billions of dollars. Every cent of the, money those "money - owners" loaned was good money, and they want it to remain so. They do not want a 50 cent dollar for their 100 cent dollars. Bryan proposes to cheat, defraud and steal one half of the mon- ey of those people, no matter in what way it is invested., by slumping the currency, substituting 50 eent silver dollars for 100.cent (tellers. He has no compunctions. For nobody has any favor in his eyes who is not an insolv- ent or a rogue eager to cheat his cred- itors. But the vast money owning classes he is attacking do not mean, we hope and know, to let themselves be robbed by the worthless, moneyless rab- I le that Bryan et a/7, leading. They • have the votes with which to main the, standard, and they mean to use them to overthrow any and all such sharks as Bryan, anarchist Altgeld, Jones, &c, In November, Bryan et al will be snowed ander so deeply by "the moueyowning class" that they will have to go to some sunny land to thaw out, or to some asylum for the insane, where, doubtless their reasoning' pow - ors may return to them. We shall from time to time give your reach= information regarding the acrobatic actions of this "gang of free silverites." Yours very truly Witt. 11. SANDERS. Chicago, Illinois, Sept. 7th, 1896, Literary Curiosity. To Trill EDITOR OF TDB ADVOCATE. DEAR Sm : Just a few words at present to your Hurondale corres- pondent, and it is this, to warn him that if he does not shut right down that I will make it warm for him; that he need not think that he can charge men with forgery and other false accusations with impurity, for his statements are composed chiefly of ex. a.ggerations, falsehoods and contradic- tions. There is plenty fuel in his statements to do the roastiug. I have his three letters in the Anvo0ATE and will hold them fast for future evi- dence. He had better keep quiet or he may be the next man to make apology. It is very fine logic to say, we accused no one of forgery as some ignorant people declare, for we made due pro. visio which fully covered the acts of the secretary. Talk about covering the acts of the Secretary, the Seuretary was not guilty and. did not need cover- ing but his proviso is like himself, a complete humbung, and it does not clear his guilt. Thanking you Mr. Editor for this space. Close Season for Game in. Ontario.
