Advices from Yokohama to the Asso.

For many years part Of Burmah has
been under English Government. The
capital Of this district is Rangoon. Up
per Burmah is the kingdom over which
Thebaw ruled. Its capital is Maudalay.
In the former province there were, at the
last census, in 1881, S4,2l9 nominal
Christians, IS, 1T Hindus, les, 1881 Mo-
hammedans, l34, 58l demon worshippers
and 3,25l, 504 Buddhists. The popula-
tion Of Upper Burmah is almost entirely
Buddhist.
There are three separate missionary en-.
terprises in the country: The Church Of
England Society for the Propagation Of
the Gospel, the Baptist Union. and the
Methodist mission. whose head quarters
are in Rangoon. The first-named has just
resumed operations at Mandalay, after a
suspension Of some years; the two latter
have been actively at work, except from
1886 to 1852, ever since they began.
The principal hold Of the missions, SO
far, has been among the Karen popula.
ton; and it is an encouraging fact that
the Karens are growing faster than the
Burmahs proper, their percentage Of in
crease for the decade, lS72-lSSl, being Sc,
against the Burmese 81.
The most hopeful fact for the future
progress Of Christianity in Burmah, says
the New York Mail and Express, is
found in its hold on the schools Of the
country. These are mostly conducted by
Buddhist monks. Previous to 1866 the
British Government established schools
of its own and made grants to mission
schools. but in that year the policy
was changed. The new idea was to in
troduce~ improvements in instruction into
the native schools themselves. A di.
rector of public instruction was ap-
pointed, with a corps of assistants, and
their offer Of new textbooks and new
methods was readily accepted in many OF
the monastic schools. Textbooks in the
vernacular were prepared by competent
Christian teachers and a corps Of circuit
teachers-something like our instructors
Of institutes in New York-visited the
schools periodically and gave them q good
start in the new system. Schools oil
higher grade were also established, OF
which there are now ten. Some of these
prepare for the Calcutta University en-.
trance examination.
1t must not be thought that the intro
duction of this new system of education
in Lower, or British, Burmah has been
universal. 1t has been more general than
was expected, however, and great results
are expected from it. In Upper Burmah
the monastic schools have it all their own
way still; but now that Great Britain has
control Of that country, doubtless the
same reforms will be instituted that have
already made such progress in the other
division of the empire.
On the whole, the outlook for the Bur.
mese is decidedly hopeful; but it is going
to take many years of hard work to
leaven the dense mass of ignorance and
superstition that exists, as yet almost
untouched. in the Kingdom of Thebaw.

A SHAKER VIEW OF THE SOLUTION
OF THE LABOR PROBLEM.
from the Pittsfeld MASS Sun

First. Population ever gravitates
towards subsistence.
Second. Land is the source of subsis-
tence.
Third. That portion of the population
engaged in providing clothing, shelter,
etc., must ever bear 8 definine relation to
the supply of food.
Fourth. When the wage-earners are
employed, they have access to subsistence.
When not employed, the food supply is cut
off,
Fifth. Open to the unemployed free and
immediate access to the source of subsis-
tence, and the labor problem is solved-it
solves itself automatically.
Sixth. 1t is population which gives
value to land. Therefore, that value be-
longs to the population.
Seventh. The "Great Lawgiver'' found
ed the Moral Law, on just apportionment
Of the land; and enacted ''Thou shalt not
steal, etc." Those who are denied access
to the elements of subsistence, cannot be

THE Toledo News asks Irish-Amer-
leans what they think when they de-
vote a portion of their slender earn
ings to save from starvation the vic
tins of land thieves in Ireland and
Scotland and then see the land thief
using the proceeds of the robbery to
pay agents to travel about in our
land advocating the cause Of the
land thief? The News shouldn't ask
such pertinent questions. After the
average Irish American performs his
duty to Wonderland, he then stops
thinking, and turns that function over
to his American party boss, to exer-
else it for him till lection is over
The average Irish American is about
as sagacious as his full American
neighbor who imagines himself free
man just because he is permitted to
look for new slave pen whenever he
is tired of the old one.

HSTANDARD OE VALUE
Another Witness i'm Evidence.

MR. EDIToR-Within the three
months past I have presented to your read
ers indisputable testimony from some OF
the highest and very best authorities, that
gold is not standard of value, but de-
sire to add the testimony of another and
very able writer upon this subject.
The Hon. Freeman O. Wiley of Wiscon-
sin III his work ''Whither are we Drifting
as a Nation,'' p. p. 1924 says, Webster
defines the word standard to mean ''rule
or criterion by which things are measured
or judged. Serving as text or criterion. p
Now, it is plain that if gold is the text OIL
criterion by which the value OF all com
modities is governed, the price of commod
tiles must always correspond to that o.
gold, for it cannot vary from its governor
or else the governor is no governor. Now
price OF goTd went up from 81, to S1.37
but the price of -four went down from So. Sc
to $5.47. Where was your governor In
1862, when gold was worth $1.37 beef was
worth $12. In 1868 gold had gone up tc
81 but beef paying no attention to the
criterion, remained at $12. In 1864 gold
was worth as high as $2.S5 1-2 and flour
was worth $3.50. Here the price of gold
had doubled more than once and one-half,
while the price of flour had increased only
about ones seventh. In 1866 gold had fall
len from $2.S5 1-2 to STAG 1-2 but -four
had gone up from $3.50 to 1912. Where
wakthe standard :? In 1864, when gold
was $2.S5 1-2, beef was worth $13.25. In
1865, when gold was falling from $2.S5 1-2
to STAG IA, beef was going up from $13.25
to $40. Where was the test to which all
commodities are referred?
Now what becomes of the standard of
value for commodities Does it ap-
pear in the light of these figures? Some
times, when gold went up, commodities
went up; at other times, when gold went
up, commodities went down. The price
of gold was being sent up and down by the
gamblers of Wall street, while the price of
was being regulated by supply
and demand, with no more reference to
gold, as standard, than to the northwest
wind. Now it has cost shylock many dol
lars for printers ink, to make people be-
lieve that gold is the standard of value;
but history, common sence and experience
stamps the pretense as false. The fore
going statistics demonstrate that the SUI
oreme Court was right in saying that ''gold
S in no sense standard of value" But
t can be made standard of payment, the
same as coonskins, tobacco, bullets, ETC.,
lsed to be. The idea that gold is a STAN
lard of value for other commodities is a
ellie of barbarism.i 1t is child of a dar-
ger age than this. A truer education is
the foolish notion, as it is the
idea that there must be intrin-
ic value in money. S. D. BINGHAM.

that makes them so deeply anxious
for the emancipation of Ireland, for
they are not only socially but pecun-
iarily interested. Her sons and
daughters even when they reach our
welcome shores, find themselves not
beyond the grasp of tyranny and OPP
preston. They may have left pa
rents and friends behind them, yet
the hard earned dollars of the honest
kind hearted Irish working boy or
girl crosses the Atlantic to fill the
Golfers of the extortionate absent
landlord, that the dear old father and
mother may have roof to shelter
their declining years.
A tax of millions of dollars annu-
ally is thus levied upon Irish Ameri-
can industry as tribute to English
and Irish landlord greed. And not
upon this alone, for when the landz
lord has taken the last bushel of grain
and the last pound of meat from his
Irish tenant, leaving him and his lit
tie ones to famish and die, then the
large hearted native, as we'll as the
foreign born American empties his
purse to relieve the suffering victims
1t is historical fact that loads OF
supplies, benevolently sent from this
country to relieve the famine stricken
districts of Ireland, we're met on the
road by other loads of provisions
going to pay unrighteous rent, extor
ted from the producers and for want
of which they we're dying.
And this is the very state of things
that will ultimately prevail in this
country if the land grabbing policy
allowed for the last twenty years by
our Government continues a little
longer. And where then will there
be another America to which 0e car
look for relief

incur their discomfort their hatred or
their vengeance, says our lord Bis
hop. Most assuredly they are, rev.
erent sir, but pray tell us who those
people are that are generally known
to incur the wrath of those propensi-
ties? Are they not of the class of
whom it is written that rebellion to
tyrants is obedience to God? Are
they not of our Goulds and Wander
bits and other shylocks and extortion-
ers of less fame who care nothing for
the rights or wrongs of mankind as
against their own selfish inclinations.
True, Organized Labor may have
made mistakes, and have acted out
side of the true Christian spirit in
many cases but this should not call
for the condemnation of the organi-
cation, only for more generous advice
from those whose mission on earth IS
to preach justice, peace and kindly
forbearance among all children of the
Common Father. The object of the
organization should be The first thing

worthy, the means employed should
not be condemned, when they are
the best known to those who employ
them. If others are acquainted with
better methods to secure the same re-
suit, they should not place their lights
under bushel, but should come for
ward and let them shine.
But perhaps it is not well to say
more at present, only to wait for de-
velopments. However, to those who
have worked for years with unfagging
zeal in the cause of the oppressed

IT is we'll known that about the
time the bugle was to blow which was
to announce the commencement of
the last Presidential campaign, there
were several of our Irish American
journals on the fence, not knowing on
which side it was safe to get down.
Advocating sort of sentimental pro-
lection for Labor, and championing
the 'tfaith of the Fathers it was hard
to proclaim for Cleveland on account
of his record in the one, and the ques-
ton of morality, on the other. But
this was not long to be permitted.
The Irish voters must be coddled one
way or the other, and Irish American
papers were prize to win or to hold

and performed valiant service toe, in
every way which trained political
quill driver was expected to be an
adept. Their rewards came in differ
ent ways, and some are now u. S.
officials. 1t is supposed the Irish
American of New York was one of
this class; and to still show its con-
slstency in opposition to Blaine it
names him 'demagogue' because
of his late speech on behalf of Irish
independence. If it had only been a
fellow tagged democrat" who said
half as much, such papers as the Irish
American would hasten to sound the
loud timbrel over his unbounded love
