blacksmith, the carpenter and others,
putting into immediate circulation $500

LAND AND MONEY.

There Cannot Be Industrial Freedom Until
Land Monopoly Is Abolished.
The monopoly of natural opportuni-
ties, otherwise land monopoly, is q
great wrong, and there never can be
industrial freedom until it shall be
abolished. While industry must pay
tribute to idleness for opportunity to
transform raw materials into wealth,
liberty is impossible. But though much
of the poverty and plutocracy and of
the misery which accompanies the
making of paupers and plutocrats is
beyond all doubt due and traceable to
land monopoly, yet land monopoly is
not the only source of social injustice,
nor is land reform the only remedy
that society needs. The superstition
that kings, parliaments and congresses
can ALLEVIATE Gods earth from Gods
children has wrought untold misery.
but 1t may we'll be doubted whether
the other equally stupid superstition
that gold is natural money" has not
been equally malevolent That the
tendency-the certain result-of the
monopolization of natural opportuni-
ties must be the concentration of the
worlds wealth in the hands of the land
holding class is easily demonstrable. 1t
is probably true that in time the
holders of. the land will be able To
| dictate terms to the holders of gold
Nevertheless it is a fact patent IN
all who will think, that the gold SUPER
stition has been more potent than land
monopoly in bringing about the present
unequal and unjust distribution of
wealth. The enormous public and pri-
vate indebtedness of the United States.

! equalities which curse society at the
] present moment are due in far greater
degree to money monopoly than to the
| monopoly Of land We're it not for the
i gold superstition money monopoly
could lot exist but with gold the basis
of all currency the monopolization Of

industry by the owners of money is in,

Indian got his start. | only know what

named Ruiz who left his old city, Bar

the wooden Indian in a rude way, as a
type of the sort of animal he had met in
the New World. and the figure was set

Jelly from Fruit Skins.

The very best Of jelly can be made
of fruit skins and cores, such as are
usually thrown away. There is more
gelatinous matter around the core
and skin of all fruit than in any
other part. The skin of peaches, with
few pits added, boiled in as little
water as possible, strained and made
up with sugar, pint for pound, yields
most delicious red jelly. Adclight
full jelly may even be made of apple
skins and cores, though it is improved
in flavor and jeIies more easily if
small quantity of the cores and skins
of ounces are added to it. A very
excellent jelly is made of grape skins
and ounce skins in about equal guam
titles. Pear skins contain less gelat-
nous matter than any other fruits,
but if used in connection with ounce
skins will make fair jelly.-Wash.

An interesting little war story has
Governor Jones, of Alabama, for its
hero. At the time Gordon was resisting
Sherman's advance, Jones, then a staff
captain, was delivering q message from
his chief when he saw little child, clad
only in night clothes, hiding in terror
behind frame house in the direct range
of the bullets from each army. Jones
rode forward, took the child on his horse
and galloped back with her to the Con-
federate line. When the Union forces
saw the act they ceased firing, and there
was an impromptu cessation of hostili-
ties until the child had been carried to u
point of safety.-Charleston News and

some shabby looking pots. 1t did not
appear to nc that his flower collection
was worth dollar altogether, and

Comparatively little paper is nado out
of rags nowadays exclusively. q fact
which is fortunate, us the quantity of
paper now used is SO great that there
would not be enough worn out clothing

strangeness of it is that while paper is
being used for dozens of purposes former

material, snch as car wheels, boxes, bar

Glowed like tropic shell. and in her eye
A diamond hickered between fire and dew.

Were singing with her; but she gazed on Us
