the following statements we're made. Sena-
tor Blair Of New Hampshire, in his remarks
said;
"Now, take these western farmers forwhom

of them has grown wealthy by borrowing
money and running in debt. speak Of
them, of course, as a class. As a. class they
have done so. They have taken the hard

The Monetary System.

AS both sides Of the tariff have been
given by certain writer's, who have re-
written the old stock arguments of the
republicans and democrats, and both
sides claim that they can cure all the
evils that affect the body polite, if
you only have faith to believe them
The essence of the republican idea is
to mako things dear by raising the
tariff, and at the same time contract
the currency so the people don't have
any money to buy anything with.
The democratic idea is to make things
cheap by lowering the tariff, and on
the currency issue they grasp hands
as brothers and shout in unison in
praise Of Che golden god. If history
teaches anything at all it certainly
teaches that neither one of these ideas
when carried out helps the vast ma
iority Of mankind to keep possession
Of the surplus products of their labor,
as the great majority find when their
time to die comes, some one else owns
the surplus product of their skill.
And that condition will continue as
long as the people keep on believing
in the devine right Of gold and silver
to be money The ownership Of these
metals is in comparatively few

take TO argue against these conditions.
Neither one Of them dare stand before a
Western audience aud make such statements.
The great West has undertaken toget rich by
borrowing money and has made most dis
astrous failure. At the recent 81. Louis
meeting hundreds Of farmers, representing
these States, declared the statements regard
ing their financial situation were true, and
that the worst had not been told, Stern me-
cessity had driven out foolish pride, and
they were anxious to have the real truth
known, and asked for nm economic system
that would better their condition. These
Senators state that these mortgages have
made and are making their people prosper

from their section do not agree with them.

ING the war did this, there being not
enough gold and silver to carry on
the war, the government made money
out Of paper. As there was soon o.

got possession Of large quantities said
practically this: Money carries with
it the right Of increase, AS the peo-
pie have plenty they will not borrow

are entitled as owners Of money The
government recognized this right to

Since the war the debt has been shift

SECRETARY WINDOW says 'the sur
plus money Of the Government is
among the people" This statement
is not true, and no one knows it bet
ter than he does In fact, the grayest
suspicious can be attached to condi-
tions that make such assertions pos
sible The power is given to this man
to wreck every industry in this
country. This immense sum ofmoney
has been in the hands of the banks
for number Of years, and by loans
has gone into the channels Of busl-
ness. If it is disturbed or withdrawn
bankruptcy and ruin will follow. For
this reason it is left in the hands Of
the banks as a gratuity, and the
people are in their extremity compel
led to hire it at ruiuous rates of in
terest. That there is a vast difference
between being in the hands Of the
banks and in use among the people a
little figuring will demonstrate. This
surplus that has been loaned to the
banks without interest has averaged
about $50,000,000 for something over
three years. At eight per cent inter
est it amounts to %,000,000 annually
or S12,000,000 for three years. The
difference, then, between being in
possession of banks and in use among
the people is S12,0OO0OO. The most
pertinent questions would be, Who
does this S12,0O00OO Of tribute belong
to, the banks or the government? Tito
the banks, why has the government
any more right to loan to them than
to the people; and if it belongs to
the government, why should the gov
ernment show such partiality to one
class and ignore all others? Twelve
million dollars represents 24,000,OOO
bushels Of wheat, 120000,000 pounds
of cotton, 1,2OO,0O0,0O0 pounds of
beef, and 100000 days of hard la
Dor. BY what right does Govern
ment, through The will of this one
man, exact S12,OOO,OOO of tribute
from one class of it's citizens and give
! it to another? Yet this same man is
asking for more extended powers from
congress, and will no doubt receive
them. 1t is for the purpose of max
ing such conditions impossible that
the sub-treasury plan is brought for
ward. 1t is to relieve business OF
such an incubus and dispel all appre-
henslon of coercion or exaction that
the adoption of this plan is urged
Just so long as the farmer will quiet
ly submit to such financial oppression
they will remain in debt and all their
hard labor will bring no relief The
plan is simple, safe and in every way
fair and equitable. Let every one
examine it thoroughly and then go to
work and help put il on our statute

limb having been put in splints, the
duck was placed under small crate.
or rallied coop, to prevent ii, for a
time, from running about. The poor
prisoner looked very forlorn in this
cage, and was evidently an object of
pity TO its brothers and sisters around.
They tried TO release their companion
by forcing their necks under the
crate and so lift it. but the effort was
beyond their strength On ascertain
ing this, they held consultation and
then they marched away in a body.
Presently they reappeared with all the
ducks belonging to the farm yard,
amounting TO about forty.
After a great deal of quaeking
they surrounded the crate, and every
neck was inserted under the lowest
rail; they then made a united effort
to raise the crate, but alas in vain !;
their strength was not sufficient An
other consultation was now held. and,
after another storm of quacking, the
whole of them came to one side of the
crate; as many as possibly could now
thrust their necks beneath the rail. the
rest pushing them forward from be-
hind. This time they succeeded; the
crate was raised, their imprisoned
friend was liberated, and noisy were

Praise Of the French Peasant.

The common notion of the French
peasant as a narrow minded, penurious
and not too moral person receives no
support from Mr.. Frederic Harrison.
whose personal study of French rural
life has nevertheless been very consider

French race has, he reminds rs, enabled

almost the same population permanent

The Bank of England's doors are
now so finely balanced that clerk, by
pressing knob under his desk, can
close the outer doors instantly, and
they cannot be opened again except by
special process. This is done to prevent
the daring and ingenious unemployed
of the great metropolis from robbing
this famous institution. The bullion
departments of this and other great
English banking establishments are
nightly submerged in several feet of
water by the action of machinery. In
some of the London banks the bullion
departments are connected with the
managers sleeping rooms, and an en-
trance cannot be effected without set
ting off an alarm near that persons
head. If dishonest official, during
either day or night, should take even
as much as one from pile of a thou
sand sovereigns the whole pile would
instantly sink and pool of water take
its place, beside letting every person
in the establishment know of the theft.

Cost of Electrlo brand.

From the list of cities in which lights
are supplied by private companies we
take the following statement OF the num-
Der of lamps and annual charge per lamp,
where the lighting continues all night
and the lamps are of (nonnin;.D 1000
candle power: Alliance, o., s lights at
$l44; Chattanooga, Ten =, 80 lights at
$121.66; Fall River, 90 lights at $3.50;
Portsmouth, N. H., 90 lights at 800:
Petersburg, Va, So lights at 500; Bin,
hanton, 90 lights at $40: indianapolis,
100 at so; Atlanta, Ga, 100 at $120;
Boston, 105 at $3.50; Milwaukee, 1870 at
$3.50; Reading, 1856 at $146.75; Dayton,
o., $500 at $3.50; Poughkeepsie, 2l2 at
$123; Harrisburg, 270 at $50; Philadel-
phia, 500 at SIT; New Orleans, IL ,010 at
$3.50; New York city, 1857 at 800
In some of these cities the contract has
been made with two or three different
companies, but in no such case is there
any difference in the charge-in other
words, competition does not give lower
rates. Let us now give the figures OBJ
tanned from those cities which own their
own electric lighting plants. Hunting
don has 80 lights, $48. 81; Decatur, H.,
80 at $50; Dunhirk, N. Y, 55 at $50. 80;
Madison, Ind, s5 at $4s; Lewiston, Me-,
96 at $4s; Hannibal, No., 96 at $52; Chi
cago, 292 at $65. Taking an average of
the whole of the two tables, from which
we have only quoted a portion. we find
that the average price paid to private
companies is $105. .13, and that the same
article furnished by the city itself costs
s52.12 1-2 per light per year.-Engineer-

The Craze for oaa Ieath.r.

An extensive leather dealer of Lon
don, travelling in this country, SAYS
that never before was there such
craze in London for queer leather as
at the present time. He adds: ssAlI
kinds of skins, from elephants to
frogs, are pressed into service to meet
the demands of the fashionable. Some
of our shops are stocked with a supply
of fancy articles that are made from
the skins of all sorts of beasts, reptiles
and fishes. These queer objects are
displayed in the windows, where their
appearance attracts wondering crowds.
Made up into various articles are vel
low pelican skins, lion and panther
skins, buffalo skins, fish skins, monkey
skins, snake skins, and the coverings
of almost every living thing known.
They are tanned and sometimes color
ed with blue, gray or red. think it
looks hideous to see pretty English
girl walking along the street swinging
a portemonnaie made of the scaly
hide of a boa constructor. But it's fash

Buildings In Berlin.

Speaking of symmetry in the building
of cities, the people Of Berlin, Germany,
are quite logical and successful in their
methods. In that city uniformity in
building is preserved by municipal law
that dictates the height of edifices ac-
cording to the width of the street. . For
instance, ON a street sixty feet wide the
law provides, think, that houses over
four stories in height shall not be erected
thereon. On streets eighty feet wide the
height is six stories, and on other streets
in proportion, thus giving tall houses to
wide streets and less altitudinous build
ings to narrow streets. / may not have
mentioned the exact dimensions of
streets and houses, but that is the gen.
eral plan of the system. By this means
great and, think, attractive uniformity
is secured.
Again In Berlin the people cannot build
residences or business houses anywhere
they please. 1Sae city has been built up
solidly and compactly simply because the
law compelled buildings to be erected
adjoining each other either on the south.
north, east or west extensions. A can
not build tall minaret on some isolated
lot away from B, but he must, in order.
to build at all, secure the land adjoining
the last house built, in either direction,
and when g comes to build he must fol-
low suit These two provisions of the
Berlin municipality law tend to make it
the most uniform city In the world.-H.
