THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Mr.. Green, Col. Casey's assistant in
charge of the Washington monument,
has been making scientific observations
of the structure, O in techn cal phrase
levelllng" it, to-day, with a view to
noting any change of position. This
procedure is undertaken on the first day
of every month, but that of to-day has
attracted more than usual attention be-
cause of the desire to know whether the
earthquake affected the structure. The
observation proves that the shaking had
not the slightest effect upon the monu-
ment In fact, the usual tendency of
the structure towards the centre of the
earth seems to have been arrested, or
rather reversed, since the last observa-
ton, as the position as compared with
that of one month ago is to-day one
two thousandth part of foot higher.
In measuring such almost infinitesimal
distances instruments of the utmost pre-
cision give varying results, and the real
changes of position can only be deter
mined by taking the general average of
series of observations. These show q
downward progress at the rate of about
one-thousandth part of foot each
month. Sometimes the observat on
shows an apparent settling of about
twice that distance, but in such cases
the observation a month later will usu
ally denote a cessation or an apparent
reversal of the moveme t, as was the
case to-day. The total downward
movement of the structure during the
last ew years, including that which &C
Cured during the laying of the new
foundation, is about four inches.

COMMERCE AND CROPS.

Facts and Figures From Bradstreets Re
view of the Condition of Trade and Crops
Through Out the Country.
NEW YORK, Aug. Especial kilograms
to Bradstrect this week do not indicate
any gain in the distribution of general
merchandise. The moderate volume of
sales reported for several weeks past is
noted with continued widespread conf
dence in greater activity and larger prof
its during the coming autumn. The
earnings for 80 railways for July aggre-
gate SIT 7,090,l3l in 1856, against Sl4,-
553,7 FOG for 81 roads in 1885. The gain
for seven months this year is S3,722,4 447
against 1885.
The total of bank clearinos at 90 cities
for the week is SS4G, 429, l02, against
S747, ,5S5, ,678 last week. There has been
a noticeable hardening of interest rates
at financial centres, owing to the in-
creased demand from wool, lumber and
clothing dealers, as we'll as to advance
on grain shipments.
The more significant industrial feature
of the work is found III the improved de-
mand for finished iron at Pittsburgh.
Special adviceS are that makers are more
sanguine than for two years past; prices
are unchanged, but the mills are pushed
to meet requirements. Like reports
come from Philadelphia and st. Louis.
Dry goods sales are fairly well su5-
tanned, the aggregate being in excess OF
! last year.
There is less doing in raw woods, but
the market favors holders. Prices de-
pend on the results of the opening OF
| lightweight fabrics, which are not fully
| known. There has evidently not been so
general an advance as expected, though
| late London and Antwerp sales have been
at full figures.
Later advices from the spring wheat
crop are more favorable than previously
\ anticipated. Heavy receipts continue to
| depreSs prices. Damage to corn from
| drouth is also less than was recently re-
ported, the probable yield being nearly
900, 900, 900 bushels, against $40, ,0o0,-
| 900 bushels last year.
There has been slight damage to the
cotton crop from shedding. The plant
has improved in the Carolinas, Georgia
and Alabama. Hot weather has threat
ened Central and Western Texas.
The Louisiana rice crop promises to be
| heavy. The weather of late has been un-
favorable to the growth of cane in that
State. The price of su gar has gone TO
| the lowest point on record, with light
demand aud heavy probable supply.
The tea market is demoralized under
large visible supplies and heavy Eastern
| expectations.

After Many Struggles 1t Has at Last
Reached the Pacific Coast.
There has lately been introduced in
several large retail houses on kearney
street an innovation regarding the pay
ment of change which may lead to I'M
portant results for the general public.
1t is no less than the payment of cents
when less than five-cent piece is due to
purchasers, and is simply an imitation
of the Eastern system. For many
years the ten-cent piece was the lowest
specimen of subsidiary con that Cali
fornian would design to notice. After
the mining times tive-cent pieces were
introduced, but were exceedingly scarce
and little used. Car fare in those days
was ten cents a ride, and nothing of
any consequence could be obtained for
a five-cent coin. In 1876 the nickle
piece was introduced in great quantities
in California. At first its circulation
was quite limited, but gradually it ex-
tended its influence, and is now recog-
nized part of the system of exchange in
trade But California has never de-
scended below the nickel, and has for
years repudiated the cent piece. In the
East the cent piece has an extensive cir
culation, and has a purchasing power
that would astonish native-born Cali
fornian, who has always regarded the
five-cent piece as the lowest denomina-
ton of money in the financial system of
the United States.
A reporter called upon the proprietor
of large dry-goods house which has in
troduced the small coin, and asked him
some questions regarding the innova-
ton, to which he replied:
1T is only question of time when
the eastern system of using cents In
trade will be followed on this coast.
The downward tendency of prices will
cause the introduction of one cent
pieces. OF course the injustice of a
buyer paying two and half cents more
than he owes is not recognized by the
seller for the reason that it is his advan-
tage. He will, therefore, object as long
as possible. But pennies are bound to
come, as the nickels came. The banks
were the first, after the Government
offices, to adopt and recognize cents, be-
cause their business requires the utmost
exactitude in accounts. Several stores
have followed in the wake of the banks

Wales, like Ireland and Scotland, is
governed by England. The people of
England are ruled by the classes who
rob the people of all the countries.
They tax the people to keep up an army
to shoot down weak peoples like the
Egyptians and Burmese, and compel
them to pay interest to Jew and other
bondholders in England and other
countries. They keep up an Established
Church for which all the people have to
pay in some way or another, whether
they belong to it or not. They make
laws to evict tenants who cannot pay
rackrents to greedy landlords, as in Ire
land and Scotland; and they use the
army and police to turn starving people
with their children to die of hunges and
disease on the roadsides, off the land on
which they were born. Here, in Wales,
they force on the people judges and
clergymen AMI other public officials who
do not understand the language of the
people. Our country and our people are
being ruined by rents, tithes, and taxes
of all kinds; and unless we have home
rule for Wales, we know that our condi-
ton will become worse than it is.
Let all Welshmen join together and
unite to demand the right to make their
own laws for the abolition of landlord
ism and the established church for
free education; to make the mines.
quarries, and all the land the property
of the Welsh people, to be used and en-
joyed for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie. We must have the right to ap-
point our own judges and all other
officials of all kinds without the inter-
ference of the English parliament and
government. Also the right to say how
we shall be taxed, and how the money
shall be spent. To do these things the
Welsh people must have their own par
lament sitting in Wales, free of the con-
troll of the English parliament. 1t is the
duty of every true Welshman to work
to free his country from the rule of
strangers, and 80 when he has made his
own country free to be able to help
other people to gain their liberty. The
people of Scotland are beginning to call
for home rule for Scotland. Our Irish
brothers have suffered long and terribly

rackrenters, and English bad govern
ment. Let US all JOIN hands to make
