Suppose It Does!

The Chicago Times, an uncompro-
missing advocate Of financial theories
Of Wall street and its rulers, in de-
nouncing silver money, alleges that
the law did what its opponents pre-
dicted-''made the United States the
dumping ground for the surplus
silver of the world"
Whether true or false. what is the
marin if it did?
Ii the world brings its silver to the
United States, it comes as q CON-
modify, and is exchanged for some Of
the products of labor or mechanical
skill Of our people, of which they
have surplus. In this exchange ii
becomes as much the product of the
labor Of this country, as though the
labor creating the products exchang-
ed for it, had been employed in dig
ging it from the mines, and is entitled
to as much recognition from the gov
eminent as If it had been'so obtained.
That the passage of the silver bill en-
abled few persons. as alleged by the
Times, to purchase silver in New
York for coinage, making profit OF
from 6 to million dollars, instead OF
an argument against free coinage of
silver, is a rebuke of the Times and
its friends for depressing its price
through characterization first, and
afterward continuing it by limiting
its coinage to half the annual pro-
duets AT the time silver was demon
cited through the wicked conspiracy
OF John Sherman, Senator Allison,
and other representatives OF Wall
Street in congress, it was worth a
premium over gold as commodity
for export or coinage. The real in
jury was when characterization and

chanic, because the contraction or
curtailment of money OF the country
means less work for the laborer and
mechanic, less price to the farmer,
and loss to the merchant from the in

pay for the goods that cucumber his
shelves.

A Remarkable Book by Rev. 7, De
Witt Talmage, D. D.

his Is SAID TO DE u year Oh TeLldFk-
able books. but doubtless the most
remarkable that will appear for some
time to come is Rev. I. Dewitt Tai
IMAGES new work on tine Life OF
Chris" and Palestine and its People.
Some idea of what that book con-
tains and how it was prepared may
be obtained by reading the following
extract from the Doctors preface:
''ln my American home, on the At
lantic, on Mediterranean, on canels
back, on mules back, on horseback,
under chandelier. by dim candle in
tent, on Lake Gallilee, in convent, at
Bethel where Jacobs pillow was stuff
fed with dreams, and the angels OF
the ladder landed; ut the brook Elah,
from which little David picked up the
ammunition of five smooth stones,
four more than were needed for
crushing like an egg-shell the skull of
Goliath; in the Valley of Ajalon, over
which, at Joshua s command, Astron-
omy halted; on the plain of Esdrae
Ion, the battlefield of ages, its long
red flowers suggestive Of the blood
dashed to the bits OF the horses bril-
dies: amid the shattered masonry of
Jericho, in Jerusalem that overshad-
ows all other cities in "Reminiscences,
at Cana, where plain water became
festal beverage, on Calvary whose
aslant and ruptured rocks still show
the effects of the earthquake at the
awful hemorrhage of the five wounds
that purchased the worlds rescue.
and with my hand mittened from the
storm, or wet from the Jordan, or
barred to the sun, or gliding over
smooth table, this book has been
written"
This book will certainly be worth
reading and preserving. 1t is not
only life of Christ from an entirely
new standpoint, but 1t is also very
interesting history Of country and
people who occupy a prominent place
in the thoughts and feelings of all
Christian nations. The large mum
Der of excellent pictures of places and
scenery in the Holy Land with which
the volume is illustrated, sgive it
special interest and value. We can
not go to Palestine, but this elegant
book, through the aid OF its pictures
and DR.. Talinage's wonderful descrip-
lions accompanying them, brings
Palestine to our very doors. The
book is indeed u positive necessity to
proper UNDERSTANDING Vi the DiDle
accounts of places aid events. We c; n
understand and appreciate Bible his
tory all the better when we see pho
ltographic representations of the pla-
ces where this history was made.

Our Mammoth Cyclopedla.

In connection with the PLAIN
DEALER, we offer our readers what il
called Mammoth Cyclopedia"
While regarding it as the cheapest
and most valuable set of books ever
offered at the price, based upon the
information ii contains, yet we would
not wish our readers to expect four
volumes equal in size to an unabridg-
ed dictionary or the large family BIZ
BILE. These books are five inches
wide and seven inches long and con
tain 2l76 pages. There are four books
in the set, and they cannot be obtain
ed from the publisher for less than
two dollars. Yet by arranging to
take quantity of them, partly paid
for in advertising the books. we are
enabled to furnish the Mammoth
Cyclopedia in four volumes and the
PLAIN DEALER one year, for only
81. IS, the books alone being worth in
any family $500 This magnificent
offer was designed originally for new
subscribers, but on reflection we
thought those who had been with us
from the beginning were equally en-
titled to its benefits, on payment OF
arrears and one year in advance,
with the new subscribers.

These are the inducements offered
the travelling public by the Chicago,
st. Paul & Kansas City Railway, one
of the youngest and beyond dispute
one of the best railways upon the

add to beauty and luxury perfect
