THE MONEY QUESTION.
Many Sound Views Oh the Great
and Important Question.
BY Allison (History OF Europe.

BY Allison (History OF Europe.)
The evils complained of arose
from the unavoidable result Of
a stationary currency, co-exist-
ing with a rapid increase in the
numbers and transactions Of
mankind, and there were only
aggravated by every addition
made to the energies and pro-
ductive powers of society. But
if an increase in the numbers
aud industry of men cO-exists
with a diminution in the circu-
latiDg medium by which their
transactions are carried on, the
most serious evils await society,
and the whole relations of its
different classes IT, each other
will be speedily changed; and
it is in that state Of things that
the sayings proves true, "that
the rich are every day growing
richer, and the poor poorer.
(By Faucett.)
The increased burden of debt,
the increase of traffic (thus re-
quiring a larger volume of the
circulating medium,) and the
demonetization Of silver, have
all contributed to increase the
value of gold beyond its eauita-
BILE value as measure for values
of commodities. The era OF
golden debt, like the era OF
gold, has had it's elimination
and the causes at work are now
preparing the way for some new
era in financial affairs which
will, in all probability, be as
unique as either Of the two
which have preceded it.
ByProf. A. L. Perry.)
Price is indeed only a case
under the class values, buI
practically it becomes a very
important thing in Politica
Economy, because the value O.
almost all exchangeable things
is determined through price
So far as commodities. persona
services and claims are ex
changed against each othe1
directly, without the intervene
tion of money or the use of tn
denominations of money, pric'
plays no part, though value does
but these cases are few and in
significant as compared witt
the whole. It is hardly neces
sary to add, that price, thoug0
relative, j, specific and no
general, and consequently the
there may be general rise O
fall of prices. If the money o
a country becomes relativel!
} more abundant than before
general prices will rise in tha
country for reasons alread
made apparent; and when none
becomes less abundant, price
will fall for correspondent
reasons.

point-tho focus Of his morning
srmoD amounted to this: That
we were adults and rational
beaing and that each of us
could and should read, search
and study the scripture for
ourselves. That each and every
Christian man should and would
keep his own spiritual fire
burning. The man whose
religion, to be kept glowing
needed to be f 'und each week
bv llis merits, had but little OF
no religion. Judge Caves was

Rich Inventors.

The poverty of inventors has been
frequently remarked, and there can be
no doubt that some of the greatest in
ventive geniuses. who have ever bene
fitted mankind, have died in abiect pow
erty. The subjoined, however, pre-
seats another side of the picture.
The business Of inventor pays a
smaller average profit than any other
business IN this country, because there
are SO MANY failures to one success.
But the inventor of the Hoe printing
press made $500, $50 Thomas Silver
man, poor mechanic, made so 900
from coppertoed shoes for children.
The horseshoer, Henry Burden. made
SEQ, 600 from his manufactured horse
shoes. The inventor of the stylo-
graphic pen has made $1,000, 600. Ed
SON has made >4.M0.0on, and his in
ventions have benefited the world ten
times as much.
The patentee Of the return ball
made $500, 900, and the toy known as
"Dancing jim Crow has yielded to its
dcviser an annual income of SO, 600
The inventor of the roller skates has
pocketed 81 ,0oo, geo, and the thinker
ont Of pigs in clover" is still harvest
ing shekels.
\ good many know that Thomas JET
ferson was great man. but it Is not so
well understood that he was the father
OF the American patent system: that
he drew up :he earliest patent laws,
and that while he was Secretary of
State, under Washington, he gave his
personal consideration 10 every appii-
cation that WAS made for y patent.

CALIFORNIA; Natural Cathedral.

In his lecture on the prehistoric
Archaeology O. America before the
New York Academy of Anthropology,
Tuesday, Gen. Charles w. Darling, of
Utica, said that zone of the most re-
markable monuments found is in San
Luis Obispo County. Southern Callior-
MIA 4 great rock rises 100 feet above
the plain of Carissa, and in the dis
lance looks rugged and forbidding. On
near approach it is seen to have on its
eastern side an opening % feet
pie or court with level floor 225 ieet
long, and 125 feet broad at its widest
part. The ceiling is so to leo feet high.
This great natural cathedral is a wonder
to biologists, but ii is more wonderful to
psychologists. 1t was evidently used
by prehistoric man as temple OF Wor-
ship or capitol of government. On
the walls are paintings in red, white
and black, doubtless having meaning.
There are figures representing fields,
suns, forts, spears, men and animals.
The colnrs are apparently rs bright as
when laid on. The wonder was discoy-

no change in its appearance since.

Homc1y Philosophy.

From the Arkansas Traveller.
Insincerity is often mistaken for a
lack o honesty.
The ring of coin is often the knell OF
friendship.
Adversely undermines many struc-
ture of prosperity.
They never need fear fall VINO never
scale the height.
He who wisely uses his wealth need
not use it for his tombstone.
The sight of mans money IS often
times the an'idote for the odor OF a
very bad chan acter.
True genius lurketh under cover,
while arrogance stalks abroad in the
full light of day.
TIE wisest fish long escapes the most
da, gerous hooks, and is finally caught
with bent up pin.
Prosperity awaits all men, and even
pursues some, but 1t is never found IN
the haunt of vice.
The mot wonderful work of God is
man, but brand him slanderer and
God viii disown HIS work.
If you would avoid the suspicion of
your neighbors, never carry your no
lasses in demijohn.
The ambition OF youth looks forward
to the triumphs of age. while ssted age
turns back Wis!iul eye along the rosy
path of youth.
1t is well the book of life is opened t,
us page by page. Were all the hard
lines barred at once the task would be
too hard to master.
Not only should careless statements
regarding our neighbors be ignored, but
facts themselves should be often sub
dued in the interest of right-tbinklng
and fairness to our fellows.

Chinese Marriage Safeguards.
