How the Lepers Live.

Sister Rose Gertrude in Ladies' Home Journal
At the leper settlement OF Molokai, the
time hangs very heavily on the hands OF
even these ease-loving children of the
tropics. Some few, in the first stage of
the disease, build cottages, some cultivate
taro, tobacco. sugar-cane or other plants
in small inclosed patches. In the olden
times they distilled strong and harmful
liquors, but this is now, happily. forbid
den by law. The sea around aoounds with
all kinds of fish, and the stronger ones
pass hours in this fayorite pursuit. There
are number Of horses at the settlement.

women flsh or ride, too. As rule, they
are not much given to domestic pursuits,
though some still make hats and gorgeous
quilts, with birds and flowers cut out of
colored rags, stitched on to the white
calico. But those who can work are al
most disinclined TO do so BY the utter use
lessness Of their industry. I'VE are dy-
ing, they say. s'why should We waste our
time in working 20 leave good things be-
hind for those who do not care for us?'
The Chinese bear off the palm for indus

lish bread and cake stores, and even make
candy for those who have the good for

OF the other islands. OF course there are
many who from loss of hands or feet are
unable 70 work, and theirs is the Saddest
lot. They have literally nothing to do but
sleep and smoke, and their lives are un-
utserahly dreary.

countries In which the single SILVER or the
double standard prevails.
According to Mr.. 6shgman, instead Of
adopting strong and stable, and 1t the
same time the most convenient standard
Of our own motion, We should shin and
change in conformity with the opinions or
whims Of the nations with which We have
dealings. In an unguarded moment he
admits that ''onr coinage - ct present con-
stituted is not satisfactory, /" and that ''the
discussion of remedy is an interesting
subject" and suggests that the remedy,
international bimetalism, may be reached
by conferences Of al the principal ma
tians," which he thinks should be en-
couraged."
If, as he tacitly admits, and a. Is pretty
universally conceded, all-embracing inter-
national bitmetalism would most effectu-
ally conduce to the certainty" which u

quently failed. Admitting Mr.. Selig-
mans claim that our commerce with gold
standard nations is important to rs, it is
equally true that ours is vital to them.
We far better than they can afford to have
that commerce destroyed or crippled.
Neither Great Britain nor Germany, the
two most obstinate adherents to the single
gold standard, could at all afford to sacri-
fee or seriously impair their commerce
with the United States on the altar Of that
idea.
The great importing interest to the con-
trary notwithstanding, there are multi
tudes Of sane and conservative citizens
who honestly believe that the shortest
and surest road to general international
bimetalism il in its adoption by the
United States. And even Mr.. Seligman
admits that iii We had no commercial re-
lations with other countries o silver
standard would answer our purpose as
well - . gold standard" Then the only
question Is whether we will suffer them to
deprive US Of the benefits Of the desirable
double-standard, or shall we exercise our
power by one and the same stroke to avail
ourselves Of its unquestionable benefits
and thereby force them to pursue the same
course. We and they need all of the gold
and all Of the silver that IL available for
coinage purposes. We are in position to
conquer their stubborn and selfish oppo-
sition to its coinage and circulation. The
power will be exercised, and the world
over the two viii circulate side by side, on
an absolute parity, and all will wonder
that it was 30 long postponed, or that it
was seriously opposed, and by al peoples
this country will be glorifed for bringing
it about.

4 SPACIOUS PLEA AGAINST SILVER.

Jesse Seligman, an intense gold standard
monometallist, contributes to the North
American Reriew for February, q labored
article against the free coinage of silver.
II is specious, and therefore calculated to
impress the superficial reader, but its most
plausible plea rests upon an assumption
that will not bear analysis.
As basic proposition he submits that
b industrial and commercial operations,
sscertainty" is the prime essential to the
ose of money as q measure of values and
medium of exchange, and that q metallic
basis for the money circulation affords the
best assurance of such certainty. But this
he follows up with claim that "this Ger.
tainty is better attained by standard in
conformity with that of other communi-
ties than by . different one" This is
coupled with an assertion that "all civil
he'd nations have come to use gold, metal
whose scarcity and usefulness have quail.
Asd 1t for the purpose" which is but
neasurably true, and subject to exceptions,
which. though not referred to by Mr..
Eeligman, are entitled to respectful con-
sideration.
India, as has been shown in recently
quoted report by Mint Director Leech, has
: circulation of $9oo, 900 600, China . cir
culation of 500. ooo, 600, and Japan circu.
lation of nearly 500, 600 600, exclusively in
silver. while the volume is enormous in
France, and large in ill of the other coun-
tries Of Europe. It is. therefore, clear that
gold Is not, as he would lead his readers to
infer, tho sole metallic medium in the
countries with which we hold commercial
intercourse. The argument which ne de-
duces with reference to our intercourse
with countries which adhere to the single
gold standard, is self-destructiys in view
q our large commercial dealings With

Both in Illinois and In Kansas amend
ments have been proposed to the revenue
laws, which provide for the stamping, by
assessors Of property for taxation, Of each
note or other evidence Of Indebtedness.
and that no suit for the collection Of debts
thus represented, can Be maintained on
paper not thus stamped. It seems queer
provision, but If such things are to be
taxed it ID proper to guarantee by every
possible means that all are treated alike.
In the absence Of some such means, and
where sole reliance Is placed upon the
oath Of the taxpayer, dishonesty and per-
jury are at . premium, the honest are
taxed and the rascals escape.

1t will be seen that In the matter of bread
stuffs, which constitute the greater part of the
free list offered by Brazil, we have little or
nothing to gain beyond the increased consump-
ton that would attend Q reduction of prices In
Brazil following this removal of in many cases
high tariff. We have that market already well
to ourselves in this respect. In provisions,
some Of which are put on the promised free list
and others of which are affected by the Is per
cent. reduction, there 10 more to be gained,
since France il large competitor here, supply
Ing more by three times than does the United
States But the grYatest concession Is reduc-
ton Of the duties on cotton and iron manufac-
lures, particularly on cotton. It win be seen
that Great Britain and Germany pretty well
monopolise the Brazilian trade in cottons. But
II the new South American republic maintains Q
tariff concession of Is per cent to the cottons of
the Omitted states, which would amount to an
equal discrimination against those Of Great
Britain and other nations. we ought to be able
to share more equally with them in the cotton
trade Of Brazil
