Interest r., gliAh Nobility.
LONDON, Jan. 5.--Arrangements for 8
more than usually interesting sporting
event, In which the Upper Ten. Is par
ticularly interested, are being completed.
The event referred to will come of some
day early in March next. The exact
date will be decided upon shortly and
will be subject to weather influences. It
will consist OF twenty-mile driving
race along the road between Leicester
and Milton Mowbray. in Leicestershire.
Tho principals IN this race Will be Henry
Cecil, fifth earl Of l.onsdale. and Charles
Henry John. twentieth earl Of Shrews.
bury and Talbot.
In addition TO the celebrity Of the
drivers the details OF the race, which
will be for large stake, lend interest to
the coming event. They are as follows:
The first five miles will be driven In
turnonts drawn by horses In single har-
ness, the second five niles the noble
drivers will be behind pairs OF horses;
for the third five miles they will guide q
coach while riding position fashion with
pair Of horses: and finally the earls
will mount the boxes OF two coaches and
will race the last five miles OF the
twe..ty-mile course while driving four
in-hand mail coaches.
The novelty of this fin de steele race is
delightinR fashionable London, and It Is
probable that upon the day of the race
the road between Leicester and Milton
Mowbray will be lined with the equip
ages Of the fashionable sporting circles,
for everybody seems anxious to see the
two earls distinguish themselves.
Milton Mowbray will be remembered
as being noted for Its cheese and pork
pies and for being the place where the
stables Of the famous fox hunt are To-

wares; capitalists, spectators, and the
like would not suffer. They would raise
the price OF what they had to sell in pro-
portion to the increased price that they
would pay for what they bought. But
the man earning wages would not find
his pay increased in proportion to the
higher prices of the hes essaiies of life
He would find five-dollar bill as hard to
get then as now, ana go not near as
far as now in purchases at the grocery.
the meat market. and the stores. Labor
would be the victim of ch; ap money, as
1t is of hard times, when wages are low
and employment difficult TO obtain. The
harvest would be rearei by capital and
by spectators.
A period of cheap money Won d not be
for labor repetition of greenback times.
Then wages were high because two mill
ion men were taken from tho ranks of
labor and were consuming all that labor
produced. Now there is no such
scarcity and demand for labor as then
existed. 1t is probable that wages
would be no higher than at present,
while the price of everything bought
with the wages Of labor would be 20 Eer
cent. or 25 per cent. higher than at
present.

brick Of silver weighing HAS fine and
presented to the weighing clerk and do
manded that 1t be coined into money for

ground upon which they based their de-

and denies the right OF the government
to make, what Is known as '.seigniorage."
At present the market value of silver
bullion Is Sl.03k per ounce fine Of 371a

ounce when coined into silver dollars Is
Si.29 29-l00. When the government buys
bullion II PAYS the market bullion price

'.seigniorage" between that price and
the legal tender value. 1t is this s.selg-

sented the silver brick at the mint think
they have as much right to as the gov
